Chapter 10 He must be the county magistrate!
Liu Sheng rejected the post of county magistrate, which made everyone present feel paralyzed.

But they really had no reason to refute the reason given by Liu Sheng.

Even if they don't need to inquire about Liu Sheng's mediocre reputation, they all know it.

Even Li Shimin has the attitude of using a dead horse as a living horse doctor, let alone them.

Call him mediocre, but he is quite self-aware.

But you say that he is a talented person, but he does not seek to make progress.

Even to the point where even Princess Changle couldn't stand it, Princess Changle, who seldom spoke to the Holy One, came to ask for an official.

After giving Liu Sheng a helpless look, the old eunuch turned back to the palace.

It's not that the other party didn't accept the order, it's that the reason given by the other party was too impeccable.

Back in the palace, the old eunuch directly explained Liu Sheng's words to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the son-in-law said that he knows that he is lacking in talent and learning, and he is afraid of making mistakes, which will be harmful to the people and damage the majesty of the court, so I hereby ask the emperor to take back his order!"

In an instant, Li Shimin was furious.

What does it mean?
He still wants to resist the decree?
Who gave him the guts?Since he has this self-knowledge, why didn't he show self-motivation on weekdays?

No matter how poor his talent is, he still has to show that I am working hard, right?
Besides, even Princess Changle, who I love the most and is the most considerate, came to the palace to beg me to give him an official position, wouldn't he feel ashamed?

Originally, Li Shimin really didn't want Liu Sheng to be the county magistrate, although Princess Changle repeatedly asked.

However, now that Liu Sheng made such a fuss, Li Shimin became angry on the spot.

Why didn't you resist the decree when I bestowed upon you a princess?

I gave you an official position today, but you pushed it back and forth.

Although the reason is quite reasonable, but... I don't like this!
Liu Sheng, do you look down on me?
What I give you, you have to take it!

Only Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng must be!Li Shimin made an instant decision in his heart.

You want it, you don't want it.

If not, how can I behave myself in front of the people of the world and civil and military officials, how can I behave myself in front of Changle?
"Go back and tell him that he has no choice but that the magistrate of Chang'an County is his!"

"He must either take over the post of county magistrate, or go to the Meridian Gate!"

The old eunuch knew in his heart that Li Shimin was really angry, and the reason why he didn't let Liu Sheng go to the Meridian Gate directly was because of Princess Changle's face.

Afterwards, he returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion.

The old eunuch and his party came back again, and the servants quickly knelt down on the ground again.

If you don't obey the edict, it seems that we are going to change a consort.

I just don't know, will I sit together?
However, contrary to their expectations, the old eunuch brought back Li Shimin's will this time:
"The emperor said that the son-in-law has only two ways to go, one is to take over the post of magistrate of Chang'an County!"

"The other one is to go directly to the Meridian Gate. When our family came, the prison of the Criminal Ministry was already sharpening knives."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng felt a chill in his heart, where are there two paths?
This is clearly the only way, other than being the county magistrate of Chang'an County, he can only die.

He doesn't want to die, he still has a great time.

Liu Sheng had no choice but to accept the order, seeing the expression on his face, he was quite reluctant.

The old eunuch felt a little sick to his liver, but he didn't stipulate what expression the person who received the imperial edict should use, so he just let it go.

At this time, Liu Sheng felt really bitter. Originally, he wanted to be a salted fish. If he kept on like this, Liu Sheng doubted his future, and even Li Shimin would not be able to kill him.

However, now he still has no way to fight against the court.

So, now he can't be a salted fish.

The old eunuch originally wanted to leave the consort's mansion forever, but as soon as he left, he thought that if he didn't do it well at this time, he would offend himself if he didn't live in the emperor.

So, even if he couldn't get used to Liu Sheng, he still went back and forth, intending to persuade him.

As soon as he entered the backyard again, he saw Liu Sheng still standing there with a sad face, holding the imperial decree in his hand.

From this appearance, the veins on the old eunuch's forehead are bubbling and the white powder is falling off. If he had a beard, he would be shaking at this moment.

In the end, he couldn't help persuading and said:
"My son-in-law, the county magistrate of Chang'an is actually pretty good!"

"This is still the boundary of Chang'an City. Although the county magistrate of Chang'an City is only a fifth-rank official, compared with other consorts, your current position is not low."

"Besides, this position is real power, no matter how many people ask for it, only you have this blessing."

How else to put it, Princess Changle will win the world!
As he spoke, he leaned closer again and whispered:

"What happened in the whole Chang'an County is under the control of the son-in-law, so you can let go and do it."

Afterwards, he also showed an appearance that you took a lot of advantage.

Hearing this, Liu Sheng's face instantly became more bitter.

Originally, my comfortable and leisure life in the son-in-law's mansion is gone.

Being given the post of county magistrate, at least he can hand things over to the second-in-command, so the head office can do it.

Now you say that the affairs of the entire Chang'an County are under your own control. This is the rhythm of making your life worse than death!

All affairs are entrusted to oneself, this is the rhythm of exhausting oneself!

Seeing the change in Liu Sheng's face, the old eunuch couldn't hold back anymore.

His tone suddenly became serious:

"My son-in-law, don't be ignorant, the emperor appointed you to take up the post!"

"The emperor said, if you want it, if you don't want it, you have to. This position belongs to you alone."

"My son-in-law, do you have some unspeakable secret behind your expression?"

What unspeakable secret can compare to being an official?

In order to become an official, how many people go around begging their grandparents to sue their grandma, isn't it all because of the fact that the officials are called heavenly officials?
It is conceivable how many people want to be officials.

But you are lucky, even in the midst of blessings, you don't know your blessings. If you marry a princess of Changle, you will have everything.

He really couldn't see through this ordinary son-in-law in front of him. This was the first time the old eunuch had seen such a person.

Liu Sheng sneered, but still didn't answer him after all.

He was very helpless in his heart, but he couldn't say it out.

I can't always say that I'm just an ordinary person, I don't seek fame or profit, I just want to satisfy the system.

Not to mention him, after knowing the hidden truth behind Liu Shengping, even Princess Changle, who he has been with for two years, doesn't know the reason why he did this.

Not to mention others.

Fortunately, the old eunuch did not say that the person who asked the emperor to give him the official position was Princess Changle, otherwise, Liu Sheng might vomit blood.

The servants were on the sidelines, and they didn't dare to underestimate their own son-in-law any more. It was not ordinary people who could resist the temptation of being a powerful official.
