Seeing Su Chen so excited, His Majesty Li Er had already expected it, waved his hand and continued: "Don't worry, I know what you are thinking, so I didn't say your name."
"I just said that there was a stranger among the people who discovered sweet potatoes and dedicated them to the court."
"But now the person has disappeared and there is nowhere to look for him."
"So, although Your Majesty is deeply sorry, he didn't go into too much detail. You are definitely safe."
Hearing this, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to your cleverness, Lao Li, you did a good job and didn't sell me out.
Su Chenrao asked with interest: "Okay, now that I'm troubling you, Old Li, what reward did His Majesty Li Er give me?"
I saw His Majesty Li Er clearing his throat, cheering up, and said: "The Holy Spirit has rewarded three thousand taels of gold and six hundred pieces of fine brocade. These things have been placed in my carriage. You will find someone to move them later."
That’s it.”
"Ah, that's it?!"
Su Chen was greatly disappointed.
I thought he, Li Erduo, was so grand. Sweet potatoes are enough food for the people in the world, but he actually gave me just this little?
Isn't that too stingy?
"Why are you so anxious? I haven't finished speaking yet!"
His Majesty Li Er glared at him, very unhappy!
I know you are a rich bastard, but you don’t want to ignore me like this, right?!
Do you think everyone in the Tang Dynasty is as rich as you?
Really, if it weren’t for the rules, I wouldn’t want to give it to you. I knew you bastard would say that!
"Ahem, I also know that even with your wealth, you don't look down on these things."
His Majesty Li Er continued: "Originally, for this kind of merit, you should be given a title, but in order to keep your identity secret, Your Majesty couldn't give it to you in the end, so I gave it up!"
After saying that, His Majesty Li Er glanced at Su Chen quietly, wanting to see his reaction.
As long as Su Chen showed a regretful expression, he would strike while the iron was hot, reveal his identity directly, and then accept Su Chen's worship!
At this moment, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but fantasize.
Then, unexpectedly, after Su Chen listened, the expression on his face did not change at all, and even showed a little...disdain?!
Su Chen waved his hand and said casually: "Well, Lao Li, you did a good job. I don't care about these titles or anything like that."
Seeing Su Chen like this, His Majesty Li Er could only sigh silently.
This little bastard is too difficult to deal with!
How could such a big man not be interested in money and power?!
How about... try the beauty trap?
Suddenly, His Majesty Li Er had an idea!
It seems like we should have a good discussion with Guanyin Maid when we go back!
His Majesty Li Er took a sip of tea and said: "The emperor was very sorry after learning that you were nowhere to be found, but in order to commend your achievements, he planned to name the sweet potato Hong Su, and then
Vigorously promote it nationwide.”
Hearing this, Su Chen finally showed a slightly... gratified smile...
Yes, Li Er is a bit discerning.
In this way, I, Su Chen, have successfully left my first footprint in the long river of history!
Let’s celebrate tonight!
"It's not over yet."
Seeing the change in Su Chen, His Majesty Li Er glanced at him happily and continued: "In order to thank you, Your Majesty specially selected the most precious thing from his treasure house to reward you!"
"What baby?"
Su Chen's eyes suddenly lit up!
Something from the emperor's treasury?!
As soon as you hear this thing, you can tell that it is a high-end product. It must be extraordinary. It may be a unique treasure that you can't buy even if you have money!
He only knew everything about the Tang Dynasty's treasure house, and some of the treasures in it were quite precious!
Is it an agate robe with an animal head? Or a golden bowl with a lotus petal pattern? Or...
At this moment, Su Chen couldn't help but become a little excited and looked at His Majesty Li Er with expectation!
Seeing that Su Chen was so generous, His Majesty Li Er didn't show any concern. He took out the brocade box that he had regarded as a treasure along the way and put it on the table cautiously.
At this time, not only Su Chen, but also Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng on the side also came over and stared at His Majesty Li Er curiously.
Seeing that the three of them were so curious, His Majesty Li Er did not say anything. He reluctantly touched the brocade box and then slowly opened it.
The three people watching quickly put their heads up.
The answer is finally revealed!
After seeing what was in the box, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng took a deep breath!
I can't believe that His Majesty Li Er was willing to reward Su Chen with such a precious treasure!
The two of them showed expressions of extreme shock!
You know, after His Majesty the Emperor obtained this thing, he always regarded it as a treasure and kept it strictly, rarely opening it to others easily!
And now, he actually gave it to Su Chen?!
It seems that His Majesty the Emperor really thinks highly of Su Chen!
This reward is really too heavy!
His value cannot be measured by money!
"Um!"
After His Majesty Li Er saw the expressions on their faces, he was very satisfied and his vanity was greatly satisfied!
You little bastard, you keep calling me petty!
Now that I have even taken out this treasure, do you still dare to call me stingy?!
Although His Majesty Li Er feels very sad, as long as Su Chen can change his attitude towards him, it will be all worth it!
His Majesty Li Er turned his head to see how shocked and delighted the expression on Su Chen's face was!
As a result, he only saw countless doubts on Su Chen's face...
Could it be that Su Chen has been in the countryside for a long time, so he doesn't know what this is?!
His Majesty Li Er asked tentatively: "Do you know what this is?"
Su Chen shook his head, walked forward, took the treasure in his hand, and looked at it carefully.
I saw this was a small, dark golden dragon eye-sized ball. It seemed to be a pill or something?
Su Chen put the small ball under his nose and smelled it. There was a very strange smell.
Su Chen said: "I'm not sure. I don't know this thing. Didn't His Majesty Li Er say what it is?"
His Majesty Li Er asked mysteriously: "Do you know... Cheng Xuanying?"
Hearing this, Su Chen understood everything at once!
Suddenly, Su Chen couldn't help but feel angry. In excitement, he blurted out a curse, "Damn it! Li Er actually wants to harm me!"
Hearing the words Cheng Xuanying, coupled with the faint smell of sulfur emitted by the small ball.
Su Chen understood everything instantly!
What an "elixir" this is!
Li Shimin actually gave him an elixir as a reward!?
Isn't this an attempt to kill Su Chen?
So, when he got excited, he blurted out the words he just said.
