Not long ago, Liangyi Hall and study room.

"My son has met my father." Li Tai said.

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and said with concern: "Qingque, you seem to have lost weight recently."

Li Tai said: "Father, son-in-law, have recently stepped up the compilation of "Kuodizhi", and the weather is hot, so I have a little bad sleep."

Li Shimin said: "Goguryeo recently received a batch of ginseng, which has a good calming effect. I'll send you some later."

Li Tai said: "I thank my father. I am here to report to my father the compilation of "Guodizhi"."

"Kuodizhi" is a large-scale geographical work during the Tang Dynasty in China.

The main text of the book is about 130,000 words, 550 volumes, and the preface is briefly 5 volumes. It absorbs the characteristics of the two books "Han Shu Geography" and Gu Yewang's "Yu Geography" and created a new genre of geography, which set the stage for the later "Yuanhe County Chronicles" and "Taiping Huanyu Ji".

The book is divided into 358 states according to the ten roads of Zhenguan, and then uses states as units to describe the evolution, geographical prospects, names, mountains, rivers, cities, ancient sites, myths and legends, major historical events, etc. The citations are extensive and preserves many precious materials in the geography books of the Six Dynasties.

At this time, the "Guodizhi" was compiled by Li Tai, Xiao Deyan, Gu Yin, Jiang Yaqing, Xie Yan and others.

Li Tai reported in detail about the compilation of "Kuodizhi" and presented the part that had been compiled and compiled into a book to Li Shimin.

Li Tai can do things, what does Li Shimin like? He carefully drew pictures on the cover of each booklet, making the picture album look fresh and elegant.

Li Shimin picked up the album of Chang'an and read it a few times, nodded frequently and said, "Okay, in order to understand the country, Qin Shihuang went on tours himself many times, and there were very few places he could go. But he just had a glimpse of the leopard.

Now the territory of the Tang Dynasty is far better than that of the Qin Dynasty ruled by Qin Shihuang, and I want to go and see it myself. But I know that is impossible. With this book "Guodizhi", I can appreciate the beauty of the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty without leaving my home, and make up for a great regret in life."

Then, Li Shimin looked at the painting on the cover and said, "Qingque, your green brushwork is becoming more and more proficient. These brushes are vigorous but not delicate, which is very good."

Li Tai said: "My son is focused and does not know any strange and lustful skills. He only knows how to study the articles of saints, study poetry, calligraphy and painting. He has achieved some success in this regard."

Next, the father and son discussed poetry, calligraphy and painting for a while. Li Shimin recited a new poem he wrote: "Ode to the rain: First, harmony blows the green field, plum rain sprinkles the fragrant fields. The new flow adds old streams, and the Cebu is full of smoke.?

Secondly, the geese are wet and the flowers are even more vivid. I am happy to see this, and I wear five strings on my neck."

"Good poems." Li Tai recited them again and commented: "The father attaches great importance to agriculture, is familiar with the fields and farming, and has everything in his mind, so he can write like a god.

The first six sentences of this poem describe the scenery, and use vivid words and make people feel that the scene described in the poem is vivid. The last couplet expresses personal emotions. Another artistic feature of this poem is that each sentence reveals joy for this timely rain, but the word "joy" is not used throughout the poem.

Except for the last couplets, the other couplets are written in a parallel way. They are not only neatly parallel, but also have a harmonious rhythm and are easy to read. In terms of describing scenery, the charm of nature is reflected through the poems.

After careful reading, you can often realize the charm of it, and it feels like drinking sweet springs."

After hearing Li Tai's comments, Li Shimin felt that he was meeting a soulmate. It was no accident that Li Shimin liked Li Tai, and the father and son were extremely close.

Li Tai said: "When my father and son minister were studying "Guodizhi", he discovered a Feng Shui treasure land."

Li Shimin asked curiously: "What Feng Shui treasure land?"

Li Tai said: "Binyang Cave in Longmen Mountain." Binyang Cave includes the Nan Cave, Zhong Cave and Bei Cave. It is one of the caves created by Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty for his merits for his parents, Emperor Xiaowen and Empress Dowager Wen Zhao.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "The environment is elegant and the weather is magnificent. It is indeed a Feng Shui treasure land. No wonder Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty was attracted to this place. What do you think?"

Li Tai said: "The mother of the son-in-law has always been in poor health, and she suffered even more disasters last year. Even now, she still looks so weak.

My son wants to repair the Buddha tile in Binyang Cave to pray for my mother’s blessing.”

Li Shimin said happily: "Okay, Qingque is filial, it's great. I support it."

Li Tai scratched his head and said in a little embarrassed manner: "Father, you also know that my son is only good at studying and never gets involved in business. Therefore, he is a little nervous and may not be able to fulfill his wish."

Li Shimin’s question and answer: “How much does it cost?”

Li Tai said: "100,000 trump card is enough."

Li Shimin felt that this was not a small number, so he thought about it and said, "Okay. I'll give you this money."

Li Tai said: "Father, this was originally a matter of filial piety for the sons. It seems a bit inappropriate to ask you to pay."

Li Shimin knew Li Tai and knew that he had already thought of a countermeasure below, and asked, "What do you think?"

Li Tai said: "Everyone knows that my fifth brother is studying the skills of winning all day long, and he is engaged in industry and commerce. The research institute is so fat.

He is also a prince, so it is appropriate for him to do his best to pray for his son minister's mother. Why not let him pay the money."

Li Shimin seemed to think it was a bit inappropriate, but he couldn't bear to reject Li Tai's filial piety, and he also thought that Li You had the ability to make money, and 100,000 yuan was nothing to him. So he said, "Okay, then that's it."

...

After leaving Liangyi Hall, Li Tai smiled proudly.

Recently, Li Chengqian's performance has become more and more outstanding, which has put a lot of pressure on Li Tai. Li Tai really wants to compare him, but Li Chengqian has the strong support of Li You, the monster behind him. He has no idea how to start for the moment.

Li Tai, Yan Liben, Wang Cong and others discussed for a long time and came up with such an idea.

They used the excuse of praying for Empress Changsun, and Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were deeply in love with each other and would definitely agree.

Li Chengqian was very filial and deeply respected Empress Changsun. He did not dare to stop this matter. Changsun Wuji would not stop praying for his own sister.

If Li You pays the money, he will definitely feel frustrated. His unswerving personality has a high possibility of rejection, so he will offend Li Shimin.

Moreover, Li Chengqian and others cannot help Li You, and there is a high possibility that a crack will occur between them.

As for whether to build a Buddhist niche or not, Li Tai doesn't care at all. He just wanted to use this matter to provoke the relationship between Li You, Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and others.

And all this, Li Tai just moved his mouth, and there was no loss at all.

Seeing Li Shimin nodding in agreement, Li Tai felt very happy. He could imagine the frustration in Li You and others.

Research Institute.

Wang Cong came to the research institute and said to Huang Suxin: "Mr. Huang, please spend 100,000 yuan. I will take it away now."
