Of course, Li Ke has a grudge against his father's partiality, you must know that other princes are doing misdeeds in the fiefdom, and they are only scolded by their father, even if there is a punishment of demotion, it will take at least more than a year of thinking time.

Li Ke sighed for a long time, very depressed, and his subordinates fought for him, and everyone thought that this was the eldest grandson Wuji making trouble behind his back and suppressing the power of King Wu.

After Li Ke took office, he rarely sent letters to his mother, which made Yang Shufei also feel sad. However, she would rather make her son jealous than let him have any illusions about the position of the prince, otherwise it will only lead to death.

Because of the temptation of power and status, the prince and the ministers were suspicious of each other, and the people's hearts were scattered, and each had a ghost.

Li Tai played an extremely disgraceful role in the whole process, sowing discord everywhere and causing all kinds of misunderstandings and contradictions, which is really hateful.

And at this time, Wei Zheng fell ill, and there was much less restraint on the prince. Li Chengqian never forgot to symmetrical things, and even built a mausoleum for him outside the palace, secretly rewarding officials, if he had to follow the rules, these behaviors would be suspected of trespassing.

Li Tai wanted to sue for this matter, but he also knew that his father's preference for Li Chengqian was not enough to move the root cause, not to mention that the heart was dead, and no one pursued the matter.

After thinking about it, Li Tai still felt that he should work hard and complete the Kuodizhi as early as possible to conquer his father in terms of strength. So Li Tai restrained his thoughts, canceled all the entertainment that could be pushed away, even including the routine family banquets in the palace, and buried himself in writing this book with the great Confucians of the world every day.

At a normal pace, the Gazetteer should be completed within five years. However, thanks to the diligent efforts of Li Tai and others, this book took only three years, but it was presented to the world with the highest quality.

When the compiled volume of the Kuodi Chronicles was placed in front of Li Tai. Li Tai was overjoyed, and he was busy preparing a sedan chair to enter the palace, and he wanted to tell his father the good news as soon as possible.

At this time, Li Shimin was discussing state affairs with his ministers, and heard that Li Tai, the king of Wei, asked to see him, Li Shimin just said it, but was surprised to find that he was untidy and was still wearing pajamas. Li Tai, who had a scruffy beard and bloodshot eyes, ran in.

Everyone looked down and couldn't laugh or cry. I didn't expect Li Tai to even wear shoes, so he came to face the saint in such a raunchy manner.

Li Tai realized that he had forgotten all these etiquettes, and slapped his head with a hand in annoyance, and was about to run back in a panic. Li Shimin beckoned to him. Shouted, "Tyre." Since you're here, let's play it if you have something. ”

"Thank you, Father!" Li Tai knelt on the ground, choked up with a trembling voice: "Father, the son is not talented, it took more than three years to finally compile the Chronicles of the Territory into a book, and I also asked my father to look at it." ”

"Compiled so quickly?" Li Shimin was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Present it to me and let me see it." ”

"Yes. Be! Li Tai immediately got up and sent it over in person. Li Shimin only felt a sour smell in his nose, frowned and said: "Tai'er, you are the most particular among the many princes, even a speck of dust is unbearable, how can you make it look like a flower?" ”

"The son is guilty." Li Tai scratched his head with a smile, took a few steps back with interest, raised his sleeve and sniffed it, and immediately retched, everyone couldn't help laughing, Li Tai felt even more embarrassed, and explained: "Father, the son is rude." It's just that the completion of the Chronicles of the Territory is imminent, and all the scholars and Confucians are working very hard, and the sons and ministers can do more, and they will be able to have a moment of leisure. ”

Li Shimin nodded approvingly, but Yuan Ziyan did not say anything, feeling that Li Tai's move was a bit pretentious.

"Tyre has worked hard."

"Compared to my father and the emperor, my sons are really nothing." Li Tai said with a smile.

"Then take advantage of a few seniors here to talk about this book of land records." Li Shimin asked with interest.

This is Li Tai's strong point, I saw him clear his throat and talk eloquently, including the Chronicles of the Ground, which is a large-scale work in the field. The text consists of 550 volumes, with an abridged 5 volumes. There are also many books on ancient geography, and while drawing on the characteristics of his predecessors, Li Tai also gave full play to the pioneering and innovative spirit of young people and created a new genre of geography books.

During the Zhenguan period, the country was divided into ten provinces, and the Tao was equivalent to the current province, which was ranked more than 300 states, and then took the state as a unit, describing the history, land, name, mountains, cities, historic sites and so on of each county under its jurisdiction. These are all fixed patterns, and in order to make reading more interesting, Li Tai also added celebrity anecdotes, myths and legends, and of course, major historical events that happened in the local area.

Li Tai is a talented book, this book is beautifully worded, widely quoted, and draws the essence from many ancient books, and it is also an effective inheritance of the essence of ancient books.

Unfortunately, the book was lost in the turmoil that followed, and in the end only four volumes were collated, and it is unknown whether it was faithful to the original work.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, King Wei Gaocai!" The ministers couldn't help but compliment a few words, and Li Taile was full of smiles, rubbing his hands and grinning.

Li Shimin was also in a good mood, and immediately rewarded Li Tai and the scholars in the house, and allowed him to bathe in his bath, seeing that his clothes were stinky and could not be worn, Li Shimin also gave Li Tai a set of his own clothes.

Maybe in modern times, it is normal for a son to wear his father's clothes, but in the emperor's house, although it is a plain homely clothes, there are also imperial embroideries and logos, when the high-spirited Li Tai walked in the palace, it naturally attracted surprised eyes, followed by many speculations.

"Shimin, you should not give your clothes to Tyre." After Li Tai left, Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but complain.

"You still don't understand my son." Li Shimin flipped through the gazetteer with great interest, and said proudly: "There were rumors before that Tai'er coveted the position of the prince, and I was also suspicious. Now it seems that instead of having this heart, Tai'er has the country's social affairs in mind, and he will definitely be able to become the arm of the undertaker in the future. ”

"How?"

"If Tai'er doesn't want to leave the capital, he can naturally delay the compilation of the Gazetteer. The time to organize this book can be long or short, and even if it is delayed to ten or fifteen years, no one will question it. But Tai'er is different, forgetting to sleep and eating, not sleeping, nothing more than three years, and it was all completed. I am also very touched by its high efficiency and hard work. ”

Thinking of his son's unkempt face like a little flower, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh again, like a proud father.

"Shimin, you are eccentric, you are also a prince, Tai'er was favored by you for various reasons, but Ke'er was demoted one after another, and now it has been reduced to five hundred, it is not as good as a third-grade master, what do people think?" Yuan Ziyan was upset for Li Ke.

"Hey, Ziyan, can't you see my hard work?" Speaking of immediateness, Li Shimin couldn't help but put down the book in his hand, got up and said: "If you don't distinguish between concubines, among these princes, the most outstanding one is Ke'er." Cheng Qian hesitates to do things, Tai'er has a flamboyant temperament, not to mention Zhi'er, and now he will cry all night after missing his mother. ”

"Since you know this, and Concubine Yang Shu is sincere to you, why do you have to make their mother and son feel cold?" Yuan Ziyan asked softly.

"Ke'er was born in a noble family, with the blood of two generations of kings flowing in his body, and his nobility is unmatched, and because of this, I dare not get too close to him, causing others to speculate, but it is not good for Ke'er. After a hundred years, it is better to give this favor to Chengqian, so that Ke'er will die and his brothers will be harmonious, and there will be no more rivers of Xuanwu blood. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, which shows that more than ten years have passed, and this incident still has a great impact on him.

"Shimin, you are the best father I have ever met." Yuan Ziyan said sincerely.

"But I don't have a good father."

"Shimin, in fact, Gaozu is not ......"

Just when Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but blurt out the secret, someone suddenly reported that Lord Wei Zheng was not good!

Li Shimin was taken aback, he went to see him a few days ago, and he was still able to walk around on his own, why did he reach this point in less than half a month?

"Ziyan, quick, follow me to see Wei Zheng!" While urging, Li Shimin had already stepped out of the door, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Hurry up and inform the prince and let him rush to the Wei Mansion!" ”

Yuan Ziyan followed, but he was worried in his heart, maybe Wei Zheng's life was really coming to an end.

Along the way, Li Shimin kept urging the vehicle to speed up, lest he not see the last side of Wei Zheng. When he arrived at the Wei Mansion, although the courtyard was cold, there was no funeral, and Li Shimin was so excited that he almost cried, at least it showed that Wei Zheng was still alive.

"Wei Aiqing, I've come to see you!"

Wei Zheng was lying on the bed in a daze, when he suddenly heard the emperor's voice, he suddenly opened his eyes, and struggled to get out of bed, but his body was bulky and couldn't be controlled by him at all, and finally he just barely leaned on the bed, panting.

"Join Your Majesty!" The people in the house hurriedly saluted Li Shimin, Li Shimin only had Wei Zheng in his eyes, he couldn't bear the sourness in his heart, but he still squeezed out a smile, sat on the edge of the bed and held Wei Zheng's hand, "Aiqing, you look good today, and you will be fine in the near future." ”

"Your Majesty, I dreamed of Du Ruhui last night, saying that I was going to invite me to tea." Wei Zheng said with a sloppy look in his eyes, obviously talking nonsense.

"Du Ruhui has been honest all his life, how can there be any good tea, I invite you to drink it!" Li Shimin said in a choked voice.

"The minister also dreamed that the prince was built and quarreled with him." Wei Zheng sighed slightly: "It's just that Jiancheng is ridiculous, the minister didn't teach Cheng Qian well, and in the end he is still ashamed of his love for His Majesty." ”

"Cheng Qian has grown up, and he will no longer be as ignorant as before." Li Shimin comforted.

Cheng Qian? Cheng Qian? Wei Zheng seemed to be much more sober, turned his head to look at Li Shimin, burst into tears, and asked: "Your Majesty, the minister just wants to ask you one word, if Cheng Qian makes a mistake, what will you do?" (To be continued......)
