At the juncture of Li Zhi's inspection, Chen Xiang did not have a moment of leisure, and all kinds of thoughts were flying in his mind. Li Zhi may not know that Chen Xiang knew him somewhat.

Just think about their mutual friend, who is it?

Of course it’s Xiao Xian, the young man from the Duke’s Mansion!

Chen Xiangke has never been a lazy person. Even though he usually makes alchemy and practices Taoism, and seems to be pure and stoic, in fact, he is a silent and blockbuster figure, and he doesn't mind showing off as long as he has the opportunity.

According to Xiao Xian's usual remarks, His Highness the Prince of Jin, despite his young age, is quite clever.

"Xiao Xian, the young master of my uncle's family, also has a good personal relationship with Pindao. I heard from him that Mr. Shen from Shanhefang is quite good at cooking, especially herbal meals. Pindao came here to take a look and wanted to Learn a few tricks.”

"It's so late to have this conversation. The dishes on the table were cooked by the two of us. If His Highness doesn't believe it, we can remake it on the spot."

marvelous!

I really didn’t see it, Chen Xiang, Chen Xiang, you actually have such a good tongue, why didn’t you tell me earlier? If you had been prepared, he wouldn’t be so nervous.

The eyes between the two were darting wildly. Shen An was satisfied, and Chen Xiang was relieved. Later, I should tell him the formula of the explosive.

"Okay, then you can cook a few dishes for me to show you!" Li Zhi chuckled and changed the topic very easily.

Shen An was a little stupid, but the Taoist priest looked indifferent. Everyone said that Li Zhi was difficult to deal with, but he was never afraid and was eager to show him his hands.

People should be brave enough to take on challenges. This has been Chen Xiang's ambition since he was a child. Although he is not interested in an official career and doesn't want to develop in that direction at all, he still doesn't mind doing something if he gets interested.

"Okay, no problem!"

"As long as His Highness likes it, Pindao will definitely cook some good dishes for you to try."

"Okay, okay!"

"Let's go." Li Zhi looked towards the kitchen area, quite interested. Even though they were laughing happily, Li Zhi was actually very beautiful in his heart.

He is just here to have fun, no matter what is new, he is willing to mix it in. What about cooking, having good food to eat is the best.

He is also an open-minded person and will never treat his subordinates badly. In fact, there are already four or five dishes on the stone table, which is enough for the few of them.

But Li Zhi would never let them slip by easily. Jin Wuwei, who came with him, and Liang Ying, his personal eunuch, all sat down under his arrangement and planned to have a meal in Shen's house.

Shen An was embarrassed. Although he got into the kitchen, he still felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart. Why is this boy so blind? Tomorrow I will go into the palace to be examined by your father. Today you have to come over to interfere. , if it messes up my good deeds, it depends on me...

He raised his kitchen knife, pointed it at the chicken's neck, and banged it.

At this time, he really wanted to pull off Li Zhi's head and kick it with a ball.

Eat, eat, let you eat!

…………

At the first moment of the You hour, at the palace of the King of Wei.

The flow of people on the street gradually stopped, and the city of Chang'an gradually returned to calm. Unlike the street, the lights in Prince Wei's palace were brightly lit, as bright as day.

There is no way, the conspirators just can't rest day and night, otherwise why would bad ideas keep popping up?

However, there is no need to accuse him unjustly today. Although King Wei is not a good person, he is not a heinous person.

Just like now, he spends all his time at night just to do serious things. As for the local history, he doesn't just talk about it, it really needs to be promoted with great fanfare.

Let’s not talk about the people for now, let’s put all the information together first and see if there is anything that needs to be added or deleted. Li Tai’s mind is still very smart, so the first step is to start here.

The work of organizing information is only enough for the people in the Wei Palace.

When he started to get serious about it, Li Tai discovered that compiling Kuo Di Zhi was really a big project. No wonder his father said that if anything was missing, just tell him as soon as possible. He fully supported it.

Yes, it doesn't matter if you don't support it. Li Tai finally realized the importance of support from Li Shimin. Originally he boasted that he wanted to do it all by himself, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

"Your Highness, these are brought from Lingyan Pavilion, please take a look."

In the courtyard in front of you, there are piles of volumes on the bamboo strips, covering an area of ​​several feet wide. This is only a small part of the relevant materials.

Previously, these materials were collected and published by Wei Zheng and others. In order to compile the historical biographies of the Song, Qi, Liang, Chen and other short dynasties, in the early years of Zhenguan, Wei Zheng, Linghu Defen and others led hundreds of people to collect these materials.

Lingyan Pavilion.

After the historical biography was compiled, the scroll was still kept in Lingyan Pavilion without moving. Now it is convenient to move it to the Wei Palace as it is.

Many books were originally missing from the palace. Only through this compilation were they able to collect them from local places. They are all precious and unique copies.

Li Tai decided not to make the stall so big first, but to start with these volumes and rearrange them.

After all, different books have different emphases. Wei Zheng and others were writing national history, so they naturally had to take care of all aspects.

Characters, events, laws, mountains, rivers and scenery are all indispensable. The geographical records that Li Tai wanted to compile must focus on geographical records.

He had to select all the relevant words and phrases and write a book. Not only that, after the preliminary compilation work was completed, he also sent people to inspect the local areas.

Li Tai looked at the books in front of him. The piles were getting higher and higher, occupying more and more space. Li Tai did not feel embarrassed, but was eager to try.

This is the hobby of conspirators. The greater the challenge, the higher the spirit. If he didn't have such ambition, how could he dare to challenge Li Chengqian's crown prince position.

He picked up a volume, which was a directory about the geographical distribution of the previous Song Dynasty. In fact, he was not interested in geography, but he had a good idea. He really loved reading and was not arty.

Therefore, even if he is not interested, he can still read it.

But at this moment, a boy hurried in from outside the yard, sweating profusely. Li Tai raised his eyes and said with a smile: "He Rong, what are you so anxious about?"

"Yes, yes, something happened!" He Rong rolled his eyes. He was surrounded by guards and it was difficult to talk. Who was Li Tai? You could tell by looking at him that this matter was a secret that could not be told to others.

"You all stand down." Li Tai's voice was neither low nor high, which frightened all the guards in the yard into silence and ran away like mice.

This is because, although his tone is quite gentle, the expression on his face is really gloomy and terrifying. Regardless of these servants, the junior officials can be regarded as people of status outside, but when they arrive at the Palace of Wei Prince, everyone is extremely honest.
