A few days later, Li You became angry and directly found twelve stenographers. He asked them to record part of the "Tuodizhi" separately and immediately sorted it out. It took everyone just three days to complete the compilation of the "Tuodizhi".

Then, Li You asked to type and printed 500 copies overnight.

Morning court, Tai Chi Hall.

Li Tai, who had disappeared for a while, appeared again. He was still riding the slide rod carried by the four people, and as if no one was around, he came to the door of the hall with pride and greeted the best friends and fencemen.

Most of the ministers avoided him and looked at his performance coldly.

At this time, Li Chengqian appeared with Li You. Li Chengqian was still dragging his sick feet. He limped over, but his face still had a confident look.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Qi." The ministers surrounded him and greeted him kindly. Many ministers were deliberate. They couldn't stand Li Tai's behavior and specifically expressed that they had drawn a clear line with Li Tai.

At this time, the morning court began.

After reporting in the order of the Secretariat, the Secretariat, and the six ministries of the court, Li Tai came out and said, "Father, my son will report to you the progress of the "Tudizhi".

Li Shimin said kindly: "Okay, tell me."

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

Li Shimin asked in confusion: "Li You, what do you have to say?"

Li You said: "Father, my son and I have to ask Prince Li about several questions." He deliberately reminded Li Tai that he is the Prince now. He asked him to recognize his identity.

A vicious anger appeared on Li Tai's face.

Li Shimin was also a little unhappy and said, "What are your questions to ask him?"

Li You asked: "Li Tai, you have been compiling "Tuodizhi" for several years. How much time will it take for you to finish compiling?"

Li Tai wanted to say that this matters nothing to you, but in the hall, he did not answer. He said: "The Tuodizhi involves 558 prefectures and 1,751 counties across the country. Now there is a part of the Western Regions. The project is huge and huge, and it cannot be compiled in a short time."

Li You said: "How much does it cost to compose Tuodizhi in a year?"

Li Tai said: "I just said that compiling "Tuodizhi" is extremely difficult and requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, only 4,000 guan a month is only 50,000 guan a year, which is already very saving."

Li You smiled and said, "Everyone has heard that it takes 50,000 yuan a year to compile a book, which is ridiculous."

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

The head of the palace province said: "This is too much. The school we palace province only has 20,000 pounds of funds a year. This... is so outrageous."

"Yes, yes, isn't it just writing a book? All that money can be used to build 20 county-level schools."

“It’s too much.”

...

Li Tai was anxious and said, "This is approved by the emperor. What does it have to do with you?"

As soon as he said this, Li Shimin's face was a little uneasy. He thought to himself: "I took care of you and approved your request. Isn't this betray me?" He snorted, his face extremely ugly.

As soon as Li Tai said this, he felt something was wrong. He hurriedly turned to Li You and asked, "Don't talk big here. Can you do such a big thing as compilation of "Tuodizhi"? How much do you need to do it?"

Li You said: "I said you are just a waste. Such a simple thing, let the prefectures report the situation according to the compilation requirements, and find a few people to compile it. It will not cost a few coins in a few days. I can't blame the "Tuodizhi" for suspected corruption incidents."

Li Tai was both angry and happy. What was angry was Li You attacking him. What was happy was that Li You finally caught a problem. He said, "Father, since Li You said that he could do this in a few days and spend a few coins of money. My son asked his father to hand over the compilation of "Tuodizhi" to Li You."

Now, the ministers felt sorry for Li You and felt that his speech was too out of place today. Although Li Tai spoke loudly, Li You was too outrageous.

Li Shimin was also very dissatisfied with Li You and thought he was talking nonsense. He said, "Li You. You can't speak credibly. "Tuodizhi" has nothing to do with you, so don't get involved."

Li You smiled and said, "Father, I have a gift for you."

Li Shimin likes Li You to say this the most. This child always brings surprises to himself. He smiled and said, "What gift, come up."

After a while, Baihu brought people in a box, Li You took out a book from it and said, "This is the compiled "Tuodizhi". Please read it with your father."

"What, the compiled "Tuodizhi"? How is this possible?"

"Buzzing" the hall was in chaos.

Li Taimeng was confused and he didn't believe it even if he beat him to death. He ran to the box like crazy and picked up a brand new book with the fragrance of ink. It clearly stated the three big words "Tuodizhi"!

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

Li Shimin also felt very strange when he took over the "Tuodizhi" presented by Wang De. He opened the catalog and looked at the part that Li Tai had shown him before. He found that the content was basically the same, which should be the content of "Tuodizhi".

Li Shimin was wondering, and Li Tai suddenly shouted: "No, you are plagiarizing, you are plagiarizing."

Li You smiled and said, "Didn't you say it will take many years to finish the compilation? You haven't written it out, so who am I going to plagiarize? You can see if it's plagiarized you?"

Li Chengqian said disdainfully: "If you don't have the ability, don't be embarrassed anymore. The King of Qi only spent 9 guan to complete this matter. You want to empty the Ministry of Revenue and not be able to do it for another ten years. You still have the face to say it here."

Li Shimin flipped through the catalog and felt that this book was much richer than the one reported by Li Tai. It should not be plagiarism. However, Li You had never been exposed to this matter, so why did he write it all at once? This is so weird.

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

Li You said: "No, it was written by an official from the Ministry of Revenue. He couldn't stand Li Tai's squandering money from the court under the guise of compiling "Tuodizhi" and was full of righteous indignation. Therefore, he wrote "Tuodizhi" by his understanding of states and prefectures across the country under the guise of compiling "Tuodizhi".

He was worried about revenge, so when the son-in-law agreed to keep it a secret for him, he entrusted the son-in-law to present this book to your father."

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

Liangyi Hall, study room.

After the dynasty was dispersed, Li Shimin felt that the matter was very strange, so he called Li You to the study room for questions.

Li Shimin said: "Li You, what's going on in the "Tuodizhi"?"

Li You said: "I have already said in the court that this matter was compiled by the official of the Ministry of Revenue. I just helped him print it."

Li Shimin asked: "Who is it?"

Li You said: "I promised to keep it a secret for him. Please do not let me be a dishonest person."

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

Li You asked back, "Father, Is it a meritorious to compile the "Tudizhi" for the court without spending a penny?"

Li Shimin said: "If you have merit, you will have to reward merit. Why can't you say his name? Does he have so distrust of the court?"

Li You said: "Father, many people have died because of Tuodizhi. Will you have to take a few more lives?"

Li Shimin felt that it was still wrong, so he asked: "Did the prince know about the "Tuodizhi" in advance?"

Li You said: "I just told him before court this morning."

Li Shimin was in a mess and said, "Okay, you go back first."

Li You said, "Yes, father, my son is leaving. However, I don't know if I should ask?"

Li Shimin said, "You ask."

Li You looked into Li Shimin's eyes and said, "Father, is it only if Li Tai compiled "Tuodizhi" that you will be happy?"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out without waiting for Li Shimin to answer.

Li Shimin looked at the door of Li You closed, stared for a while, and then he took the "Tuodizhi" with ink fragrance in depressedly. He really hoped that this "Tuodizhi" was written by Li Tai, so that he could make an excuse for Li Tai to stay in Chang'an.

However, no one dared to come out to receive rewards for the compilation of "Tuodizhi" because of such great contributions. Is this still the Zhenguan rule?

Li Shimin fell into deep contemplation.

Wei Prince's Mansion.

Although Li Tai was demoted to the prince, Li Shimin still did not take back his Wei Palace.

When Li Tai returned to his mansion, he had no place to vent his anger. He scolded anyone he saw. People were silent and avoided him as much as possible. Those who were serving him could not hide, so they had to be careful and dared not let go.

At this moment, the guard who was responsible for stalking Zhu Jie came back. He reported in panic: "Your Highness, Lord Zhu has been taken away."

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

The guard said, "I just saw a group of people in plain clothes arresting him, but those people showed their waist cards, and they should be people from the government. I was far away and couldn't see clearly. In order to find out their identities, I followed them all the time and finally found a person I knew, who was the censor of the Censorate."

Li Tai shrank into the chair dejectedly and waved his hand to let him retreat first.

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

He stood up and shouted, "Prepare the car, I'm going to come to the palace to see you."

The Palace of King Qi.

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

Li You smiled and said, "Babys, life is so hard to endure if you are not with your husband. In order to compensate your husband, how about a big quilt sleep tonight?"

"Accompany, don't do it." The princesses blushed and spitted together.

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

Sun Simiao said, "Your Highness, I have been thinking about the foot disease of the Crown Prince on the road. When will you take me to see it?" Sun Simiao's professionalism really touched Li You.

He smiled and said, "Okay, I know that I'll let you rest now. If you think about it, it's troublesome. Let's go to the East Palace now."

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "Your Highness knows me."

Soon, Li You and Sun Simiao arrived at the East Palace.

Li Chengqian was very moved when he saw Sun Simiao coming back to Chang'an from a long distance and got off the carriage. He quickly washed his feet.

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