Tang Dynasty: Consort Wu? Your Majesty, please address her as the Crown Prince's Consort.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

"Oh? What's the chubby kid doing here?"

"Announcing!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A moment later, Li Tai slowly walked in, glanced at Li Chengqian with a somewhat speechless look, and said:

"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, pay my respects!"

Upon hearing Li Tai's words, Li Chengqian replied with a smug look on his face:

Upon hearing this, Li Tai's chubby face couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He took a deep breath and said:

"Congratulations... Your Majesty!"

As soon as Li Tai finished speaking, Li Chengqian couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Rise. We're all brothers here. What brings you to me?"

Looking at Li Chengqian's unreliable behavior, Li Tai couldn't help but mentally complain.

This thing can be an emperor?

Surely the Tang Dynasty couldn't possibly perish after only three generations?!

Thinking of this, Li Tai couldn't help but reveal a hint of resentment as he spoke:

"Has Big Brother forgotten something?"

Upon hearing Li Tai's question, Li Chengqian was also taken aback and showed a look of doubt.

Has I forgotten anything?

Seeing his older brother's bewildered expression, Li Tai was speechless.

This guy is definitely unreliable.

He couldn't help but explain:

"My brother compiled the local gazetteer, and the money was all swindled from the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Zheng family of Xingyang... cough cough... funding."

Now the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Zheng family of Xingyang have rebelled. All the main branch members have been arrested, and their property has been confiscated. From now on, we will need your help, elder brother, to write letters!

After hearing Li Tai's explanation, Li Chengqian suddenly understood.

Damn! I completely forgot about that.

So it turns out the fourth brother's supplies ran out; no wonder he came looking for him.

However, the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Zheng family of Xingyang are truly foolish and rich.

Can't they see that Li Tai is setting them up?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long breath and said:

"Compiling the Gazetteer of the Land will benefit the country and its people, and I will naturally do my utmost to assist you."

but……"

Halfway through his sentence, Li Chengqian stared intently at Li Tai and continued:

"That's not enough!"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Li Tai was slightly taken aback, not understanding what Li Chengqian meant.

He immediately cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Li Chengqian and said:

"Please enlighten me, elder brother!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian didn't waste any words and immediately expressed what was on his mind.

"The compilation of books is beneficial to the country and the people, but a single geography book is not enough. I want to compile an unprecedented grand encyclopedia."

I will gather scholars from all over the world, draw on the strengths of all schools of thought, and consult classics from the pre-Qin period to the present day, covering all aspects of classics, history, philosophy, literature, astronomy, geography, medicine, drama, etc., to create a treasure trove of civilization that gathers the wisdom and civilization of the world into one book!

"And I want you to be the head of this compilation team!"

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Tai was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

What a magnificent book this is!

If he can truly master it, his achievements will likely rival those of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han.

He spoke, his voice trembling, without hesitation:

"This...you're willing to entrust this kind of thing to me? Why?"

Li Tai was completely baffled. His relationship with Li Chengqian was not good; in fact, they had been adversaries for a long time.

He was actually willing to teach him something that would be remembered for all time.

Seeing the chubby boy's puzzled expression, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile slightly, stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"You and I are not enemies, we are brothers, aren't we? Ordinary brothers can make up the next day after a fight, so why can't we?"

Moreover, I believe you are capable of accomplishing this task, and I can assure you that upon completion of the book, your name, Li Tai, will be second only to mine!

Looking into Li Chengqian's sincere eyes, Li was deeply moved.

He never expected Li Chengqian to say such a thing to him.

Li Chengqian, you bastard!

Thinking of this, he immediately bowed respectfully to Li Chengqian and said:

"Brother! We are willing to sacrifice our efforts in compiling this book to ensure the flourishing of the Tang Dynasty's literary tradition!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Very well! If you're willing, then you can go back now. The money for compiling the land map will come from my private treasury. As for the grand ceremony, we'll discuss it after my enthronement ceremony."

"Yes, brother!"

……

Watching Li Tai's departing figure, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile slightly.

Hehehe! Super hard-working guy, done!

As for why Li Chengqian wanted to compile books, it was of course for the sake of merit!

The Yongle Encyclopedia, compiled in later generations, brought Zhu Yuanzhang's literary achievements to their peak. Now that he is the emperor, why can't he also compile a book like this?

What? I copied your homework?

I am not! I did not!

I lived hundreds of years before Zhu Yuanzhang. In this matter, whoever comes first gets to claim it. How can it be called plagiarism?

……

A few people later.

Inside the Liangyi Hall.

Everyone in the cabinet was present.

Fang Xuanling handed over the memorial in his hand and said:

"Your Majesty! These are several reign titles we have proposed for you. Please take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian also became interested.

As for the reign title, Li Chengqian in history never ascended the throne, so naturally he didn't have a reign title. But now that he has ascended to the throne, a reign title is naturally necessary.

He slowly opened the memorial, on which were clearly written three reign titles.

Yonghui!

Jinghe!

Moon Hee!

When he saw the first reign title, he couldn't help but pause slightly in surprise.

Yonghui?

Isn't this the first reign title after the ninth prince ascended the throne in history?

Upon seeing this reign title, Li Chengqian decisively shook his head.

How could he possibly use an era name that originally belonged to Emperor Gaozong of Tang? He would use one that was uniquely his own.

Thinking of this, he looked at the two reign titles that followed.

"Jinghe, a prosperous and peaceful era, a time of national prosperity and peace."

"In Wenxi, civilization flourishes and the world is enlightened!"

These two reign titles are not bad. After thinking for a moment, Li Chengqian finally settled his gaze on the reign title Wenxi.

For some reason, he found the reign title easy to pronounce.

Although this reign title leans towards civil administration, Li Chengqian did not care.

Throughout history, there have been many emperors who were powerful in military affairs, but few who were truly respected by the world for their civil administration.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the world revered Emperor Wen of Han for his civil administration; after the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang was the most respected.

Although his father is still alive, this temple name still belongs to him.

Well, if he behaves well!

If the old man doesn't perform well, then we'll give him a Tang Jie, Zhou Youli Emperor, hehehe!

After all, he'll be the one giving the old man a temple name!

Thinking about this, Li Chengqian became more and more excited.

A handle, isn't that more powerful than pulling out the oxygen tube?

After all, the Tang Dynasty didn't have an oxygen tube for him to remove!
