"I came unexpectedly. Lu Xiucai just don't blame me for being abrupt."

The two of them felt cold for a moment, and Lu Chensheng immediately invited Liu Xiangnan into the house.

Hot tea had been brewed nearby. When the two of them were seated, Chuwu obediently stepped forward to pour tea for the two of them. First, he poured a cup for Liu Xiangnan, and then it was Lu Chensheng's turn.

"A few days ago, Lu Xiucai went to the city to celebrate my birthday and prepared a table of delicious dishes. I didn't even thank you in person. I'm really ashamed."

Liu Xiangnan sat down, but did not directly enter the topic, but thanked Lu Chensheng.

For example, there was also the peach blossom wine and grapes given by Lu Chensheng, which he liked very much.

The two of them chatted very happily.

After teasing for half an hour, Liu Xiangnan stopped turning the tea cup and looked up at Lu Chensheng seriously.

"I heard that Aizi and Lu Xiucai have a good relationship. Do you mind if I call you a brat in front of you?"

The boys here have the meaning of being close to each other. Generally speaking, they are called juniors of the same sect.

Lu Chensheng heard the words and nodded quickly, "I don't know what you have to say, sir. Students should listen to the teachings."

Seeing that Lu Chensheng was so obedient, Liu Xiangnan nodded with satisfaction.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I've heard about the fact that you asked Wen to be promoted to the court as an official. But do you know that the situation you will face after entering the court will not be comparable to this in Fufeng City?"

"The student certainly knew that, so he asked Brother Liu to go back and discuss it with the adults."

Lu Chensheng nodded when he heard this.

He had told Liu Wensheng about this matter, and he was happy to admit it now.

Seeing that Lu Chensheng did not deny it, Liu Xiangnan looked better.

"In that case, why didn't you become an official, but instead gave up such a dangerous situation to Quanzi? Is it just because you don't want to become an official?"

What Liu Xiangnan meant was that Lu Chensheng was worried about encountering any danger and had the intention of pushing Liu Wensheng out.

Lu Chensheng smiled faintly when he heard this, "Sir, I think you should know whether this is what the student thinks. If he really wanted to become an official, he would not have taken the risk of rejecting the imperial edict."

Lu Chensheng still felt that the other party knew clearly whether he was willing to serve as an official or not.

The purpose of saying these words now may be to test him, or he may be afraid that Liu Wensheng will be plotted against him.

As a father, there is indeed a reason to come and ask Lu Chensheng about some situations.

Liu Xiangnan heard this, but did not immediately respond to what Lu Chensheng said. He just looked at Lu Chensheng intently.

After a while, he nodded.

"Your boy really doesn't like being an official and is unwilling to become an official. People like this are really rare. Whose child doesn't want to become an official? Later, the family will be proud of the ancestors, and the people in the clan will be proud of them, even if they are buried in the future.

If you do, then you can have the honor to meet your ancestors."

Because of this, people like Lu Chensheng who are unwilling to serve as officials are very rare nowadays.

Whoever has the ability doesn't want to break his head and want to enter the court.

This Lu Chensheng seemed so weird that even the emperor personally ordered him to be canonized, but he actually refused.

If it were anyone else, they would probably treat this as an extremely honorable thing.

"Idle people are used to being lazy, and they can't abide by those rules even when they enter the court."

Lu Chensheng explained briefly.

It was originally a place with many rules, but after entering the imperial court, there were even more rules.

Moreover, the respective parties are very obvious. As a newbie who has just entered the government, if you remain neutral, you will offend both parties.

You never know when the other party will start to talk, and both sides will pull you out as a scapegoat.

Even if your ability is good and you have made the most contributions, in such a situation, it does not mean that the emperor will definitely protect you to the end.

Thinking about the many loyal ministers and extremely talented ministers in ancient times, not only were they demoted again and again, some were even killed.

Scholars such as Li Daoyuan and Xin Qiji, as well as Lu Chensheng, knew them all very well.

They were both demoted and demoted again and again, and they were all scholars with outstanding fighting prowess. Killing enemies on horseback was a matter of their lives.

As a result, Li Daoyuan was also framed and harmed.

He didn't know what the imperial court was like now, but he didn't want to get involved.

Liu Wensheng was with Liu Xiangnan, and he seemed to have some connections in his family, so he thought that joining the court as an official would have a certain degree of security.

Of course, Lu Chensheng left the choice to Liu Wensheng and did not force it.

"Seeing that you know etiquette so well and know how to advance and retreat, you don't seem to be a person who doesn't understand etiquette. How..., that's all. Since you don't want to be an official, I won't say more. Quanzi has a spirit and wants to become an official in the court. It's a good thing.

If you have skills, if you can teach them a thing or two, you can be considered complementary to each other."

Needless to say, Lu Chensheng's ability is natural. Wasn't it him who solved the floods in Yunmeng City?

Lu Chensheng's shadow is also involved in all the big and small cases in the city. It can be said that he is extremely talented.

Having said that, it seems that this guy Lu didn't know that his ability to quell the flood at this time was already known to everyone in the court, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Xiangnan suddenly smiled and looked at Lu Chensheng with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"Sir, why do you look at students like this?"

Lu Chensheng was stunned when the other party looked at him, and asked a little strangely.

He felt that there was a slightly malicious look in the other person's eyes.

Liu Xiangnan smiled when he heard this, "You are not well-informed at court, but you don't know one thing."

"What's the matter?"

Lu Chensheng raised his hands and asked.

"You asked Governor Lin to keep the matter of flood control in Yunmeng City a secret for you. As a result, Governor Lin became interested in talents. Not only did he tell you everything about your water control, he also strongly recommended you to become an official in the court."

Speaking of this, Liu Xiangnan looked at Lu Chensheng with amused eyes.

I had been thinking before that if Lu Chensheng could help Liu Wensheng secretly, maybe he could give it a try.

But now he suddenly remembered what happened in the court.

According to the emperor's character, can Lu Chensheng really stay out of this matter?

We still need to wait for some time to see how the DPRK and China react to this matter.

Lu Chensheng was about to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, but when he heard these words, the tea cup in his hand suddenly shook.

"What!!"

Lu Chensheng's face was full of shock and anger, with a hint of shock.

When he explained to Governor Lin before, the other party promised him that he would never tell anyone.

But what happened now? The other party directly confessed to himself?

Lu Chensheng took a breath to calm down, but suddenly hearing such news, Lu Chensheng felt that he could not calm down at all.

After finally waiting for these days, there is no imperial edict. I feel that the emperor has forgotten me.
