Chapter 9 I have little talent and learning, so don't go!
After receiving the answer, Princess Changle happily left here, and went to the harem to find Empress Changsun.

But it hurt Liu Sheng who was still at leisure in the son-in-law's mansion.

Li Shimin picked up the brush and ordered to the outside:

"Have you heard, go to the mansion of the son-in-law. Isn't the magistrate of Chang'an County still undecided? Leave it to him."

"Follow the order, Your Majesty Shengan!"

The eunuch soon got the emperor's imperial decree and rushed to the son-in-law's mansion to deliver the decree.

At this time, the mansion of the consort.

Liu Sheng was still in the mansion, he did not go to the wine shop to listen to the music.

It is enough to go to gatherings once in a while, but if you go too frequently, you will become famous.

Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. He doesn't want to be called a lustful and incompetent person in Chang'an City.

He felt that mediocrity was enough to make him an ordinary person, even if the common people chatted after dinner, they would not mention him.

Because he really didn't have any surprising performances for them to discuss.

What is ordinary?

This is called ordinary!
His character is like this, not to mention that as long as he is mediocre, he can get rewards.

How can a false reputation or the disdainful eyes of others compare to real rewards?

As long as you don't bully him, he will be safe. If someone offends him, the graves on the mass graves will be erected.

At this time, he was as usual, sleeping on a deck chair and fishing, and he was too tired to sit, let alone a whole morning.

The weather is also good today, and Liu Sheng has no reason to go outside to play.

Isn't it very comfortable to lie in your own yard and fish in front of the pond?

Usually, when he goes out, someone wants to step on him to take the position. If that happens, he will have to go to other people's sacks at night.

They are all civilized people, so this is not good, not good.

"It's still such a comfortable life." Liu Sheng let out a sigh of salty fish, and turned over by the way.

As a salted fish, such days are really leisurely and comfortable for him.

But, suddenly, his life changed!

Suddenly a servant shouted from outside:
"My son-in-law, my son-in-law, someone is looking for... looking for it!"

"What's wrong?" Liu Sheng looked unhappy, he hated others to disturb him when he was at his most comfortable.

Looking at the flustered servant, it was the first time he saw him.

Just as the servants were about to say something, a group of people walked into the backyard.

The leader is an old man with a white face and no beard, with a half-smile on his face, and his voice is sharp but not annoying:
"My son-in-law, you are so leisurely and elegant!"

Liu Sheng saw the other party, and then glanced at the panicked servant, he finally knew what the other party was panicking about.

For them, the imperial decree is a gamble. Who knows whether the imperial decree is good or bad?
According to the appearance of his son-in-law, can he still be given an official position?

"The father-in-law in the palace? This is?"

Liu Sheng was puzzled, why did the eunuchs in the palace come to find him?
Seemingly seeing the confusion in his eyes, the eunuch who announced the decree was somewhat disdainful in his heart, but his superficial skills were very good, he said with a smile:

"The sage came up with an order, my son-in-law, hurry up and accept the order!"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng was stunned.

What, purpose?

What purpose can there be?I have come here in the past two years in a mediocre way, and I don't see any intentions?
Even if you think you are too mediocre, if you want to change Princess Changle's son-in-law, shouldn't you kill yourself quietly?

Could it be that some aspect of him was discovered by Li Shimin again?
Shouldn't it be, isn't the relationship between me and Jubao Pavilion, Baiweilou and Linglongfang systematically covered up?
Did Li Shimin still find out?

At this time, Liu Sheng's thoughts were racing, and he still had many puzzles.

But he still saluted, waiting for the other party to announce the decree.

As an ordinary person, can he still resist the decree?
That would make him die faster, and he still needs to continue to be mediocre.

The old eunuch didn't hesitate, and quickly spread out the bright yellow imperial decree, and read aloud:
"According to His Majesty's will, the imperial edict said: Liu Sheng, son-in-law of Changle, has nothing to do and spends his days in the land of fireworks and wine. In order to change his habits and make him match the face of the royal family, he is specially given the post of Chang'an county magistrate..."

After this, Liu Sheng didn't listen to it anymore.

He heard the key point. Li Shimin wanted to make himself the magistrate of Chang'an County because he often went to the wine shop to listen to music, which made the royal family ashamed.

Is it wrong to like ordinary people?Liu Sheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

There are two counties in Chang'an City, one is Wannian County, and the other is Chang'an County where Liu Sheng is going to take office.

As the capital city of Chang'an, even the county magistrates here are all fifth-rank officials.

Although the official position is not high compared to Chang'an City, where a fifth-rank official can be hit by throwing a stone.

But at any rate, it is a position with real power, and no one can ask for it.

The servants on the side were astonished, and they really gave the official!
Afterwards, he looked at Liu Sheng enviously, what is blessing from the sky?

This is when people sit at home and blessings come from heaven!

However, when the old eunuch finished reading the imperial decree, he found something was wrong.

Because he saw the displeasure on Liu Sheng's face.

He wondered in his heart, shouldn't you bow your head and worship, and then accept the imperial edict in ecstasy?
Why...is this expression?

Ever since, the old eunuch asked Liu Sheng curiously:

"Why, my son-in-law, do you have any questions about this imperial decree?"

Liu Sheng nodded and said:
"Dare to ask my father-in-law, can my son-in-law refuse to accept the order?"

The old eunuch broke into a cold sweat from fright, son-in-law, are you trying to resist the decree?
Today's Holy Majesty is not an ordinary person. He has read the imperial decree for Li Shimin for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen someone resisting the decree.

"My son-in-law, are you planning to resist the decree?"

he asked incredulously.

I was worried that this son-in-law suddenly lost his mind, so he could refuse the happy event that fell from the sky.

The servants on the side were even more terrified, kneeling on the ground and not daring to raise their heads.

What's wrong with the son-in-law, this is no joke, even if you are not afraid of death as a son-in-law, you still have to take care of us servants, right?
But Liu Sheng's head is very firm at this time, if he becomes the county magistrate, wouldn't he put himself on the fire?

Originally, I had acted so mediocrely, but now that I became the county magistrate, wouldn't others have a reason to attack me for being unworthy?
Most importantly, my originally comfortable and comfortable life was destroyed.

So, how can he agree?

Liu Sheng bowed his hands and declined:
"I don't dare to resist the decree, but I'm really ignorant, so let's forget it."

The old eunuch and his party were all numb, it was the first time they saw someone being so sincere.

For a while, the old eunuch didn't know what to say.

Should it mean that you are self-aware, or that you are mediocre and incompetent?
