Is it really for him?

"Master Li, what are you still doing in a daze? Don't get down on your knees yet. ”

Seeing that Li Qiao seemed to be stunned, the seventh prince hurriedly urged.

Li Qian still couldn't believe it, raised his hand and pointed to his nose: "Holy Lord, this appreciation of the Holy Decree, do you really want to give it to Weichen?" ”

"You don't joke."

Sheng Hong said and pointed at him: "This appreciation of the holy decree seems to be a bit chicken for one of your courtiers. Then I add another use. ”

"An appreciation of the holy decree can be exchanged for a Danshu iron coupon, and a collection of three Danshu iron coupons, as long as there is no rebellion, then as long as Dasheng is in one day, this person's direct descendants will share the wealth of the world with the Sheng family."

"Li Aiqing, don't you kneel down to thank you?"

Li Qiao: "......! ”

He didn't hesitate any longer, quickly picked up the hem of his clothes and knelt down.

An appreciation decree is a Danshu iron coupon, he wants, no one will rob him, this appreciation decree must fall on his house!

"The grace of the saint will never be forgotten."

"Alright, get up." Sheng Hong raised his hand and motioned for him to get up: "You show me how to make this new object in person." ”

"Yes!"

Li Qiao immediately stood up and ordered someone to go to the kitchen and bring some plant ashes.

As for the other princes, they were all shocked by Sheng Hong's sudden addition of this function, but the most important thing at the moment was to make this new object, because they didn't say anything, just watched Li Qiao busy.

This process is quite simple, that is, the process of burning in a large fire is more complicated, after a month of trial and error, Li Qiao built a simple small kiln in the courtyard, and he used this small brick kiln to quickly burn out the ash dumplings of plants and trees.

Let the grass ash dumplings cool, throw them into the water and scatter them to get a pot of grass and wood mortar.

Mix the grass mortar and sand together, then spread it evenly on the ground with a scraper, and after one to two days of hardening, then the cement road is completed.

The specific results have to wait for a day or two, and Sheng Hong asked Li Qiao to enter the palace and demonstrate it again in the palace.

So Li Qiao became a tinker and entered the palace to repair some of the wall roots that had been eroded by the wind and rain but had not yet had time to repair.

A cobblestone path in the Imperial Garden was also paved with concrete.

Li Qiao was busy for two or three days, and Sheng Hong witnessed the magic of cement with his own eyes and was overjoyed.

He stepped on a scooter in the shape of a tiger and slid slowly on the concrete path a few times, and the smile on his face never stopped.

When he went to court again, he led the courtiers to the imperial garden to see the cement road, and led the courtiers to see the roots of the palace wall that had been repaired by cement.

Although the color doesn't match well, the hardness is excellent.

The courtiers were stunned.

What the hell is this?

Previously, they had already known about the proposal of the six princes, and the other princes did not give useful suggestions, so they felt that the six princes won this game.

But now Li Qiao has come up with a new gadget?

And it is versatile, not only can it be used to build roads, but also to build houses?

This......

The courtiers walked curiously on the cement road, which was not only flat but also integrated compared with the crevices of adobe brick roads, blue brick roads, and bluestone pavements.

Although it doesn't match the scenery of the Imperial Garden, it has to be praised.

I can't imagine that such a road was built by manpower!

And the materials are simple, but they are plant ash?

In addition to admiration, it is still admiration.

As the four princes thought, the food, scooters and other toys that Li Qiao tossed out before were all petty fights and couldn't be put on the table.

Li Qiao can live in the third grade, but he took the shit luck and met Sheng Hong, a good emperor.

If it is set aside in the previous dynasty, or if Sheng Jun is in power, the topics of the imperial examination are well-behaved, and only revolve around the four books, five classics, three histories and three biographies, then how can Li Qiao, a young man who has only been studying seriously for a few years, compete with other people who have read poetry and books?

Li Qiao can have today, relying on Sheng Hong, an emperor who does not take the usual path, and relying on opportunism.

But on the cement road in front of him, everyone can no longer say that this is opportunistic.

Good luck every time, this is also a kind of strength.

Many people stood by Li Qiao's side, including several cabinet scholars, who praised him.

Sheng Hong looked at this scene and announced with satisfaction that the first Appreciation Decree belonged to Li Qiao, as well as the new functions he added to the Appreciation Decree:

Each appreciation of the holy decree can be exchanged for a Danshu iron coupon.

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were all stunned.

actually gave Li Qiao an outsider?

Li Qiao is not a prince!

In terms of Li Qiao's shit luck, if Li Qiao wins every time and takes away the holy decree of appreciation, then do you want to choose Li Qiao as the prince?

What's the point of this competition?

Someone immediately raised an objection, this game is indeed Li Qiao's victory, but Li Qiao is not a prince, in order to avoid the game becoming meaningless, Li Qiao can be allowed to participate, but Li Qiao cannot have a ranking.

Li Qiao's results should be eliminated, and only the best one should be selected from several princes.

This proposal actually makes sense.

This is a competition to choose the prince, how can Li Qiao praise the holy decree?

It is possible to give Li Qiao another reward, but this appreciation must be given to the prince.

Moreover, the person who praised Li Qiao just now was stimulated by the praise of the holy decree, and some jealousy had already arisen in his heart.

Therefore, many courtiers echoed and persuaded Sheng Hong to change his mind.

But Sheng Hong didn't speak, just listened to the courtiers to express their opinions.

Li Qiao didn't speak either.

Just standing behind Sheng Hong.

But the Six Princes spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although this competition is for the selection of the crown prince, Lord Li's performance is too outstanding, and it doesn't hurt to give a compliment to the holy decree."

"A talent like Lord Li should give a few more words of appreciation for the holy decree to protect the body."

"As for whether the crown prince can be elected in the end, it is natural that he can. Because of the performance of our brothers in each game, the father and everyone will see it, and when the time comes, the father and everyone will choose the most outstanding prince. ”

"Do you think that's the reason?"

"This ...... You have a point. ”

Cao Taizhuo, the head boss of Li Qiao, opened his mouth first.

Yan Anbang stroked his beard and said: "In the final analysis, when the prince is finally selected, Lord Xiao Li must be excluded. ”

"Yes, Lord Xiao Li will not affect the princes, in the end, it depends on the performance of the princes."

Wang Dewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also said.

The remaining cabinet scholars, who often sorted the folds with Li Qiao, also agreed with the words of the six princes.

The weight of the seven cabinet scholars is very heavy, and what they say is also reasonable, and the six princes who have been robbed of the holy decree are all in favor of Sheng Hong's decision, if some courtiers oppose it again, it will be boring for themselves.

The bigwigs all nodded, and the opinions of these courtiers were no longer important.

As a result, this decree of appreciation smoothly fell into the hands of Li Qiao.

There really is only one decree, and there is no reward at all.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Li Qiao went home with the holy decree of appreciation, and respectfully offered it to the main courtyard, and everyone watched the excitement for a while, and soon dispersed, this is not the first time that the holy decree appeared in the family, it is not unusual.

But Tao Zhu and Li Qian didn't leave.

Tao Zhu looked at the lonely holy decree on the incense case, and couldn't help but lean into Li Qiao's ear and whispered: "Didn't the saint actually reward some gold, silver, cloth or something?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Qiao couldn't help laughing, turned his head to look at his clear eyes, and nodded: "No." ”

If it weren't for Sheng Hong's addition of a function that can be exchanged for Danshu iron coupons to this holy decree, then this holy decree really has no use except for running for the crown prince.

"Appreciation is appreciation, not reward. Moreover, we are not short of that bit of gold and silver fabric. ”

"It's true that there is no shortage, and I'm a little surprised."

Tao Zhu nodded, in the past, Sheng Hong rewarded people, which time was not really giving things, only this time, there was only one holy decree.

But he was only puzzled for a moment, and quickly threw it aside, the meaning of this appreciative decree is to be able to exchange for Danshu iron coupons!

With the Danshu Iron Coupon, that is equivalent to one more life!

Peace.

It's more reassuring than ever.

"It's so good that the Holy One gave us such a talisman."

"No, one of the purposes of adding it temporarily is to protect me, a courtier."

Li Qiao was really a little moved.

At that time, Sheng Hong's willingness to give him the Divine Decree of Appreciation was already very unexpected to him, and as a result, Sheng Hong also added another function to this Holy Decree.

This is to protect him from provoking the hatred of other princes.

How is this not moving?

Of course, Sheng Hong's move was not to protect him alone, but also to protect the prince who received the decree of appreciation but failed to ascend the throne in the end.

But Sheng Hong's intention to defend him is also clear.

To meet this Mingjun, he is lucky!

However, the behavior of the six princes today ......

The six princes seemed to want to win him over.
