A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing.

You may not play this card if you have a Wind. Gozoku Political Open: Any number of times per turn, discard the Imperial Favor and target a Personality: Bow him. Until you next pay a cost of discarding the Imperial Favor (even by alternate means), he will not straighten and his controller has the ability, "Open: Pay 6 Gold: End the ongoing effects of the action that granted this ability." Gozoku Political Reaction: Before a player gains or loses Honor, bow your Stronghold or your performing Courtier: Reduce the loss or gain by 2.
so i can you use it now any number of times per turn???

The first ability on Gozoku Sensei has always been usable any number of times per turn. The Oracle's text for this card (as with other cards) reflects the changes to the rules and to templating.
Note that to use the ability repeatedly, you need to acquire the favour repeatedly, and that the "lock-down" effect will end when you use the ability again.
