Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 156

Li Zhi is a very sober emperor.

Li Qinzai had created many new objects such as the magic arm bow, horseshoe and so on, but Li Zhi was at most only appointed as an official of the young prison.

But gunpowder is different. As an emperor, and an emperor who has great ambitions to expand the territory, after seeing the power of gunpowder with his own eyes, Li Zhi immediately understood how unusual this thing is.

It is much more important than the horseshoe of the divine arm bow, and it is not in the same order of magnitude at all.

That is to say, Li Qinzai made a big firecracker, and unintentionally made more contributions than before. This contribution is so great that the sum of all the things invented before is not as important as it.

Therefore, Li Zhi must be knighted, otherwise he will not be able to explain it.

Li Zhi understands its importance, and Li Qinzai certainly understands it even more.

Comparing your heart to your heart, if Li Zhi still has no expression this time, what will Li Qinzai think?
I created such an important thing for Datang, why don't you express it and just let it go?In the future, if there are any good things, I will not show them, so I will ask you if you are angry.

Li Zhi was most afraid that Li Qinzai would think so, so for this pillar of talent who appeared out of nowhere, Li Zhi did not hesitate to win fame and fortune, and had to win over him.

The knighthood is the easiest thing to win people's hearts. In this era, the knighthood represents the supreme honor, and it is the honor that the courtiers can't get in their lifetime.

Many generals who were born and died in armor and battles fought for the Tang Dynasty all their lives, and they failed to get any titles when they were old.

But Li Qinzai, who opened the hook, got it without any effort.

The four words "Weinan county son" were written down without any changes.

After dawn, a cavalry team left the palace holding banners and headed straight for Weinan County.

…………

Ganjingzhuang, Li's other courtyard.

Li Qinzai was teaching Qiao'er how to write.

The other disciples have all gone home on vacation, but Qiao'er has not given up on her studies.

Qiao'er is not a genius, but has a father from a thousand years later. This father's education method is subtle, anytime, anywhere.

Qiao'er's excellent grades are not only due to his talent, but also his own hard work, which is beyond the reach of those wealthy dudes.

Qiao'er has learned all the characters in a hundred surnames, and now Li Qinzai is teaching him to write a thousand-character prose.

Although the content in the Thousand Characters is obscure and difficult to understand, there is no need to pick characters, as long as you can write them.

"Rong Zhiruo thinks, and your speech is stable." Li Qinzai tapped the small wooden stick and said, "Just learn to write these eight characters today."

Qiao'er nodded, holding a wooden stick and clumsily drawing the eight characters.

After writing a few pictures, Qiao'er froze, turned to look at him and said, "Father, what do these eight characters mean?"

Li Qinzai thought for a while, and said: "It means that words and deeds are calm and unhurried, stable and steady. A gentleman 'respects himself and treats others with peace'. Whatever happens, there is no need to make a fuss."

Qiao'er seemed to understand, but continued to row.

Suddenly there was the sound of rumbling horseshoes outside the other courtyard, and Qiao'er stopped again unconsciously.

Li Qinzai rubbed his head and said, "Have you forgotten what I just said?"

Qiao'er smiled and said: "I haven't forgotten, Rong Zhiruo thinks, and his words are stable, Qiao'er remembers."

Li Qinzai nodded: "Continue writing, anything that happens outside has nothing to do with you."

There was more and more noise outside the other courtyard, but Li Qinzai, Qiao'er and his son turned a deaf ear to it and concentrated on doing their own things in the courtyard.

Song Guanshi staggered over, and regardless of Li Qinzai's displeasure, he shouted excitedly, "Fifth Shaolang has been knighted!"

With one word out, the whole courtyard erupted.The servants came out of the house one after another, gathered in the front yard, and saluted and congratulated Li Qinzai from a long distance away.

Qiao'er had to stop again and looked at Li Qinzai puzzled.

Li Qinzai's expression remained unchanged, and he still said calmly: "After writing the words, you must memorize the way each word is written."

Seeing that Li Qinzai did not move, Guanshi Song and his servants, who were boiling not far away, held their breath and did not dare to make any more noise, and stood respectfully in place and waited.

Qiao'er clumsily wrote the words one stroke at a time, Li Qinzai took a serious look and said, "That's right, I have to write it a few more times today, and keep them in my heart thoroughly, and remember every word. Use them all the way through."

"Yes, Qiao'er remembered."

Qiao'er finally couldn't bear it and said: "Father, they said you have been knighted, what is a knighthood?"

Li Qinzai smiled: "It's just that the emperor appointed another official for father, and this official can last for a long time."

"Can an official manage many people?"

Li Qinzai smiled softly and said, "Father only needs to take care of himself, and he also takes care of you by the way. This life is enough."

Standing up, Li Qinzai turned to look at the stewards and servants in the yard.

Song Guanshi was no longer excited, but stepped forward and said respectfully: "Wu Shaolang, the emperor issued a decree to confer a title, and Wu Shaolang was conferred the title of Weinan county son. The angel who announced the decree is outside the door. The old man has ordered his servants to prepare an incense case." .”

"Five young men, this is a great joy for our Li family! One family, two nobles, honoring the ancestors, five young men are born in the blue, our Li family's family business will not decline for thousands of years."

Li Qinzai straightened his clothes and said, "Receive the order."

Li Qinzai was not at all surprised by Li Zhi's canonization.

From Li Zhi's crazy attitude towards gunpowder, we can see how important this thing is to Datang and Li Zhi.

Any emperor who is a little sensible knows what kind of treatment should be given to him as an inventor.

The gate of Li's other courtyard was opened, and the angel who proclaimed the decree walked into the front yard with his head held high, holding a yellow silk in his hand.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the angel who proclaimed the decree turned out to be the elder brother Cui Sheng.

Li Qinzai and Cui Sheng met each other suddenly, their expressions were rather complicated.

According to the rules of the court, Li Qinzai led the elders and children of the other courtyard to bow down behind the incense table.

Cui Sheng slowly unfolded the imperial decree, and proclaimed it in a passionate tone.

The imperial decree is the most difficult to understand in the world, every word in it is hard to understand.

Cui Sheng read a lot, Li Qinzai vaguely guessed that it should be a compliment to him, and finally got to the point.

"...you can be granted the title of son of Weinan County, eat hundreds of households in the city, and serve the country's merits. Qinzai."

This is an imperial edict written by Li Zhi, promulgated by Shangshu Province, and written by Zhongshu Sheren himself. It is the most official appointment document in the world today.

After the imperial decree was read, Li Qinzai bowed facing south, thanked him, and got up at last, the ceremony was considered over.

Cui Sheng held the imperial decree to Li Qinzai with both hands, bowed and said: "I congratulate Li Xianzi."

Li Qinzai blinked: "Did Cui Sheren bring any money this time? Lingmei is very short of money recently."

Cui Sheng said with a dark face: "Li Xianzi, don't go too far. I heard from my sister that you cheated her a lot of money."

"It's all one family, what's the difference between you and me, what's yours is mine..."

"We're not a family until we visit the hall!"

…………

Before the knighted angel arrived at Zhuangzi, the British palace in Chang'an city had already reported.

The Chinese New Year is almost here, and the British Government House was originally decorated with lanterns and festoons, which was full of joy.

A palace official was ordered to run out from the Taiji Palace, and within a short distance, he came to the gate of the British government on Suzaku Avenue.

"Grandpa is overjoyed! Overjoyed!" the palace man gasped and roared.

The butler Wu Tong came out to welcome him, and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What's the big deal?"

The palace servants saluted Steward Wu first, then deliberately amplified their voices, and shouted: "Your mansion's Fifth Young Master has been conferred a title! The emperor has a decree to confer the fifth son as the son of Weinan County, and the angel who delivered the decree has left the city Go to Weinan!"

Wu Tong was stunned for a long time, then he said, "Fifth Shaolang? Wu Shaolang?"

Immediately, he trembled all over, like waking up from a dream, stomped his feet suddenly, even the palace servants had no time to greet him, turned around and ran to the backyard.

"Hurry up and report to the old man, Wu Shaolang is a knight, and Wu Shaolang is a knight!"

"One family and two princes, honor the ancestors!"

Wu Tong walked like flying, and rushed into Li Ji's study in the backyard.
