A few days later, Li You was ruthless, he directly found twelve stenographers, he asked them to record a part of the "Tuodi Chronicles", and immediately sorted it out, and everyone only took three days to complete the compilation of the "Tuodi Chronicles".

Then, Li Yourang typesetting and printed 500 copies overnight.

Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Li Tai, who had disappeared for a while, reappeared, still riding on the sliding pole carried by the four people, and as if no one was around, he came to the door of the main hall proudly and greeted those dead friends and wall grass.

Most of the ministers avoided him and watched his performance coldly.

At this time, Li Chengqian appeared accompanied by Li You. Li Chengqian was still dragging his sick feet, and he limped over, but his face still had a confident look.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Qi." The ministers gathered around and greeted each other cordially. Many ministers are deliberate, they can't get used to Li Tai's style, and they specially say that they have drawn a line with Li Tai.

At this time, the early dynasty began.

After reporting in the order of the six departments of Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province, and the Imperial Court, Li Tai came out and said, "Father, the son wants to report to you on the progress of the "Tuodi Chronicles". ”

Li Shimin said with a pleasant face: "Okay, you can say it." ”

"Wait a minute." At this moment, Li You came out and said.

Li Shimin asked puzzledly, "Li You, what do you have to say?" ”

Li You said: "Father, the son has a few questions to ask King Li Jun. He deliberately reminded Li Tai that he was now the king of the county. Let him identify himself.

A sinister anger appeared on Li Tai's face.

Li Shimin was also a little unhappy and said, "Do you have any questions for him?" ”

Li You asked, "Li Tai, you have been compiling the Tuodi Chronicles for several years, how much time do you need to complete the compilation?" ”

Li Tai wanted to say that this matter was your business, but in the main hall, he didn't answer, he said: "The Tuodi Chronicles involves 558 state capitals and 1,751 counties across the country, and now the part of the Western Regions will be added. ”

Li You said: "How much does it cost you to compile the "Tuodi Chronicles" in a year? ”

Li Tai said: "As I just said, the compilation of "Tuodi Zhi" is extremely difficult and requires a lot of manpower and material resources, so as long as the imperial court has 4,000 yuan a month, it is only 50,000 yuan a year, which is already very economical. ”

Li You said with a smile: "Everyone has heard that compiling a book requires 50,000 yuan a year, which is simply ridiculous." ”

Most of the ministers didn't know about this, and when they heard this, they were all shocked. "Buzz", there was a burst of discussion in the main hall.

The person in charge of the palace province said: "This is too much, a school in our palace province only has a fund of 20,000 yuan a year, this, this ...... It's outrageous. ”

"yes, yes, isn't it just writing a book? The money will be used to build 20 county-level schools. ”

"It's too much."

……

Li Tai was anxious, and he said, "This is approved by my father, what does it matter to you?" ”

As soon as he said this, Li Shimin's face was also a little unbearable. Xin said: "I took care of you to approve your request, isn't this betraying me?" He snorted, his face extremely ugly.

As soon as Li Tai spoke, he also felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly turned to Li You and asked, "Don't talk big here, have you done such a big thing as compiling the "Tuodi Chronicles"?" How much money do you need to do it? ”

Li You said: "I said that you are a waste, such a simple thing, let the state governments report the situation according to the requirements of the compilation, find a few people to compile it, and it will be over, in a few days, it will not cost a few dollars." I can't complain that "Tuodizhi" will be suspected of corruption. ”

Li Tai was also angry and happy, and he was angry that Li You attacked him. Happily, Li You was finally caught by him. He said: "Father, since Li You said that he could do this in a few days and spend a few dollars, the son asked his father to hand over the compilation of the "Tuodi Chronicles" to Li You. ”

At this time, the ministers all felt sorry for Li You, and felt that he spoke too substandard today. Li Tai is certainly a lion's mouth, but Li You is too outrageous.

Li Shimin was also very dissatisfied with Li You, thinking that he was talking nonsense, he said: "Li You. Don't be credible, "Tuo Di Zhi" has nothing to do with you, so don't mix it blindly. ”

Li You smiled and said, "Father, my son has a gift for you." ”

Li Shimin likes Li You to say this the most, this kid always just surprises himself. He smiled and said, "What a gift, present it." ”

After a while, the white tiger brought someone into a box, and Li You took out a book from it and said, "This is the compiled "Tuodi Chronicle", please read it by my father." ”

"What, the completed Chronicles of the Frontier? How is this possible? ”

"Buzzing", the hall is simply chaotic.

Li Taimeng didn't believe it when he was killed, he ran to the box like crazy, and picked up a brand new book that exuded the fragrance of ink, on which were clearly written the three big characters of "Tuodi Zhi"!

"This, this, this ......" Li Tai was completely blindsided all of a sudden, he stood there stunned, and he didn't know if the book in his hand fell to the ground.

Li Shimin took the "Chronicles of Expanding the Land" presented by Wang De, and also felt very strange. He opened the catalog and looked at the part that Li Tai had shown him before, and found that the content was basically the same, it should be the content of "Tuodi Zhi".

Li Shimin was puzzled, and Li Tai suddenly shouted: "No, you are plagiarism, plagiarism." ”

Li You smiled: "Didn't you say that it would take many years to complete the compilation? You didn't even write it, who am I going to plagiarize? See for yourself, is it plagiarized from you? ”

Li Chengqian said disdainfully: "If you don't have the ability, don't be embarrassed here, the king of Qi only spent 9 yuan to do this, you can't wait to hollow out the household, and you can't do it for another ten years." And the face is said here. ”

Li Shimin flipped through the table of contents and felt that this book was much richer than the content reported by Li Tai. It shouldn't be plagiarism. However, Li You has never been exposed to this matter, so how did he write it all at once? It's weird.

Li Shimin asked, "Li You, did you write this book?" ”

Li You said: "No, it was written by an official of the household department, and he was not used to seeing Li Tai squandering the money of the imperial court under the guise of compiling the "Tuodi Chronicles", so he wrote the "Tuodi Chronicles" by virtue of his understanding of the state capitals across the country through his work in the household department.

Fearing reprisals, he entrusted his son with the book to his father, the Emperor, when he promised to keep it a secret for him. ”

Li You had already thought of this reason, otherwise it would be really difficult for Li Shimin to explain this matter when asked.

Liangyi Palace, study.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Shimin felt that this matter was very strange, so he called Li You to the study for questioning.

Li Shimin said: "Li You, what's going on with "Tuodi Zhi"? ”

Li You said: "Erchen has already said in the court that this matter was compiled by the official of the household department, and Erchen just helped him print it." ”

Li Shimin asked, "Who is it?" ”

Li You said: "Erchen promised to keep it secret for him, please don't let Erchen be a dishonest person." ”

Li Shimin said dissatisfiedly: "Can't even tell me? ”

Li You asked rhetorically: "Father, is it merit that people don't spend a penny of the imperial court to compile the "Tuodi Chronicles" for the imperial court?" ”

Li Shimin said: "Meritorious. But meritorious service must be rewarded, so why can't he say his name? Could it be that he was so distrustful of the imperial court? ”

Li You said: "Father, because many people have died in the "Tuodi Chronicles", do you have to take a few more lives?" ”

Li Shimin felt that it was still wrong, and he asked: "Did the prince know about the matter of "Tuodi Zhi" in advance?" ”

Li You said: "This morning, the courtiers just told him. ”

Li Shimin was in a very confused mood, and he said, "Okay, you can step back first." ”

Li You said: "Yes, father, the son of the emperor has retired." However, there is a sentence that Erchen doesn't know whether to ask or not? ”

Li Shimin said: "You ask." ”

Li You looked at Li Shimin's eyes and said, "Father, will you be happy only if Li Tai compiles the "Tuodi Chronicles?" ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Li Shimin to answer, turned around and walked out.

Li Shimin looked at the door closed by Li You, and was in a daze for a while, before he sullenly picked up the "Tuodi Zhi" that exuded the fragrance of ink. He really hoped that this "Tuodi Chronicle" was written by Li Tai, so that he could find an excuse for Li Tai to stay in Chang'an.

However, with such a great contribution to the compilation of "Tuodi Zhi", no one dared to come out to receive the reward, is this still the rule of Zhenguan?

Li Shimin fell into deep contemplation.

Wei Wangfu.

Although Li Tai was demoted to the rank of county king, Li Shimin still did not take back his Wei Palace.

When Li Tai returned to the mansion, he had nowhere to vent his anger, he scolded whoever he saw, and people were silent one by one, avoiding him as much as possible. Those who were waiting by his side really couldn't avoid it, so they had to be cautious and didn't dare to come out.

At this moment, the guard who was in charge of tracking Zhu Yu came back, and he reported in a panic: "Your Highness, Lord Zhu has been arrested. ”

Li Tai said angrily: "Who is so bold? ”

The guard said: "The minister just saw a group of people in civilian clothes arresting him, but those people showed their waist cards, and they should be from the government." The minister couldn't see clearly from a distance, in order to find out their identity, the minister followed them all the time, and finally found a person he knew, he was the imperial history of the imperial history platform. ”

Li Tai shrank back into his chair and waved his hand to make him retreat first.

Li Tai suddenly felt scared, something he had never felt before. He thought about it for a long time, and finally figured it out. He knew that this was Li You and Li Chengqian taking revenge on him, he couldn't sit still, he had to fight back.

He stood up and shouted, "Prepare the car, I want to enter the palace to see the driver." ”

Qi Wangfu.

"Brother You, husband, Your Highness, Lord Wang." Xiao Wanyu and the others finally returned to Chang'an.

Li You smiled: "Baby, you are not by your husband's side, life is really difficult." In order to compensate for my husband, how about sleeping with a big quilt tonight? ”

"Accompany, don't do it." The princesses blushed and snorted in unison.

Then, he went out to meet with Sun Simiao and others.

Sun Simiao said: "Your Highness, the old man has been pondering His Royal Highness the Prince's foot disease on the road, when will you take me to see?" Sun Simiao's professionalism really touched Li You.

He laughed; "Okay, I know that I'll let you rest now, and I'm worried about the trouble, so let's go to the East Palace."

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "Your Highness still understands old decay." ”

Soon, Li You and Sun Simiao came to the East Palace.

Li Chengqian was very moved when he saw Sun Simiao returning to Chang'an all the way and coming to diagnose himself as soon as he got off the carriage. He hurried to wash his feet.

Sun Simiao looked at his feet, pressed his fingers for a while, asked him how he felt, and then asked him how he usually felt, and then closed his eyes and pondered.

Both Li Chengqian and Li You were very nervous, for fear of hearing bad news.
