The mythical Tang Dynasty, the map is vast, more than ten times larger than later generations, Li Ke thought that with the current road conditions, it would take a year to go to Suzhou.

Unexpectedly, there were Taoist officials in the army who were in charge of the Heavenly Mansion, and they were monks who were attached to the imperial court, and their strength was extraordinary.

The Taoist official used spells to bless the chariots and horses, and the speed was very fast, and at this speed, I was afraid that it would not take more than a month to reach Suzhou.

Li Ke was very curious about this Taoist official, but he didn't make friends. Including the 1,000 guards, Li Ke did not communicate with them.

This time, the purple vein mine should just be the introduction.

The biggest reason may be his several policies in Shudi.

Li Ke, the king of Shu, has extraordinary talents, and has been in Shu for two years with remarkable political achievements. The officials and generals of Shu are all under its rule. The hands of those people are powerless.

In the past, Li Ke was arrogant, he was confident that he was no worse than anyone else, but unfortunately the world will never assign positions according to ability.

Outstanding talent is probably the main reason why Li Ke was canonized.

Only after Li Ke is canonized as a god, his soul is marked with a divine seal, and the Divine Dao Emperor cannot coexist, only in this way will Li Ke not be able to follow the path of the human emperor, and this is their purpose.

This is the only way not to completely kill Li Ke and challenge Li Shimin's bottom line.

The original Li Ke was self-aware and had no desire to compete for the throne, and now Li Ke has no intention of being emperor. He is determined to be in the Nine Heavens, and he admires Xiandao and doesn't want to be the emperor.

Li Ke took out a copy of the Suzhou book, perhaps out of guilt, Li Shimin prepared detailed Suzhou information for Li Ke.

Among them, the record of Taihu Lake attracted Li Ke's attention.

Originally, there was no Taihu Lake in Suzhou, there was a plain and many rivers.

Taihu Lake appeared 500 years ago, Suzhou Benji records, 500 years ago, suddenly one day, a silver basin fell from the sky, landed on the earth, the silver plate shattered, into a large lake.

Because the big lake fell from the sky, the horizontal above the word Tianzi fell to the bottom, and the word Tianzi became Taizi, and this lake was called Taihu Lake from then on.

There is a saying among the immortal monks that five hundred years ago, the Queen Mother was going to die.

The Jade Emperor asked the Four Great King Kongs to carry a generous gift. When the Queen Mother saw this, she was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth.

It turned out that the Jade Emperor sent a large silver basin, which contained 72 extra-large jadeite, and there were various five-colored jade carved birds and beasts, which was simply a cornucopia;

From a distance, it still looks like a delicate big bonsai, and all the gods are full of praise.

Legend has it that five hundred years ago, the Queen Mother set up a peach meeting, and did not invite Bi Ma Wen, but the demon monkey lost his temper and made trouble in the heavenly palace. When he saw the big silver basin given by the Jade Emperor, he didn't care about the three seven twenty-one, and hit it with a stick, and the silver basin fell from the sky, fell to the ground and smashed a big pit, and the silver turned into white water, forming a lake of 36,000 hectares.

The 72 jadeites in the silver basin become the 72 peaks of Taihu Lake, which are distributed in the middle of Taihu Lake.

The fish carved in jade is the whitebait with white skin and tender meat in Taihu Lake now. The birds carved in jade have become pairs of mandarin ducks. Only the beasts did not live.

At present, the water veins in the world are all controlled by the Dragon Palace, and a large lake appears on the ground, which should have been managed by the Dragon Clan.

But these 36,000 hectares of lake, in the eyes of the rich Dragon Palace, is just a small pit the size of a palm on the road, and he doesn't care.

Five hundred years have passed, and the Dragon Palace has neither registered Taihu Lake, nor has it sent a water official. Monsters are rampant in the lake, and people can't fish or hunt.

Li Ke was named the god of Taihu Lake, and the jurisdiction was quite large, but unfortunately he only ate and had no right to manage.

Li Ke's fiefdom, Taihu Lake reached Yizhou in the west, Huzhou in the south, Huishan in the north, and the sea in the east, and the land area was roughly equivalent to a province in later generations.

The mythical Tang Dynasty is too big, and there are 36,000 hectares of Taihu Lake alone. Li Ke's fief was larger than a small country.

It is a pity that the southern region of the Tang Dynasty, which has just removed the title of Nanban, is underdeveloped in terms of economy, culture and, most importantly, population.

Within his fiefdom, only the city of Suzhou was a large city, and the rest of the city was sparsely populated, and the maritime city of later generations was still a barren country.

Chang'an to Suzhou more than 10,000 miles, stop-and-go, Li Ke and their team took a month to arrive in Suzhou.

"Poor Dao Xu Jingxuan has seen His Royal Highness the King of Taihu Lake." After arriving in Suzhou, the Taoist finally came to meet Li Ke.

"No courtesy, the Taoist has worked hard all the way."

"I don't know His Royal Highness the King of Taihu Lake, where is your Taihu Lake Palace, the poor road will be built as soon as possible, and you will go back to your life as soon as possible." Xu Jingxuan asked.

The prince is on the fan, generally in the prosperous area, Suzhou belongs to Wu, in history Li Ke in Zhenguan 11 years to change the title of Wu, fief in Suzhou.

"Please also ask the Taoist chief to rest today, and it is not too late to build tomorrow." Li Ke said politely.

Xu Jingxuan retired when he heard this, and he had no intention of having a deep friendship with Li Ke.

"Farewell to Chang'an, Brother Xu's demeanor is still the same, but the poor road is old." In the Qingyang Temple outside Suzhou, Xu Jingxuan drank tea with an old Taoist.

"Brother Ma is polite, the cultivation of the poor path has not been improved, I am afraid that the immortal path will be difficult to find in this life." Xu Jingxuan said.

"Yes, if the immortal path is expected to wait for us, why bother to condescend to officialdom, and I don't know if the good function will be completed before the sitting, and seek a god position after death.

Speaking of which, this King of Taihu Lake is lucky, and he has occupied the divine position alive." Ma Laodao said enviously.

"The divine position is the way of luck with us, but not with him, not to mention that he is still young, if you are given a divine position today, will you go to the post?" Xu Jingxuan tasted the taste of tea.

The position of the god of the living person must be separated from the body, fused with the clay statue, and worshiped by incense, cultivated into the divine body, where can the Shinto monks be free of immortals.

"Hey, don't talk about others." Ma Laodao said.

The next day, Li Ke finished practicing the boxing method and walked out of the post station.

Outside the post station, Suzhou Fujun was chatting with Xu Jingxuan.

"The subordinates pay a visit to the king of Taihu Lake". The governor of Suzhou respectfully saluted.

"Excuse me". Li Ke waved his hand. Suzhou became Li Ke's fief, and the governor of Suzhou became Li Ke's subordinate.

However, Li Ke does not have the right to appoint the prince, and the two will become opponents to fight for power.

"I'm going to trouble Dao Chang Xu today." The Tang Dynasty does not need to work peasants to build a house, and if a mansion is fully materialized, a monk can complete it in one day.

"Your Highness can choose the address". Xu Jingxuan asked.

"This king has a little plan in his heart, please come with me." Leave Suzhou City and ride westward until you reach the edge of Taihu Lake.

He climbed high and looked into the distance, looking at the map of Taihu Lake.

"Xu Daochang, this king wants to build the palace on the east bank of Taihu Lake, the front of the palace is the Water God Mansion, and the back wing room lives in people.

Build a stone bridge on the shore, the stone bridge leads to the Yunwu Mountain, which is the closest to the lake shore, across the lake to connect the two places, and build another courtyard on the mountain. Li Ke handed over his ideas and the drawings he drew on the road to Xu Jingxuan.

Xu Jingxuan flew to the sky, compared the drawings and maps, and fell to Li Ke's side after a while.

The Yunwu Mountain in the lake is ten miles offshore, although the stone bridge is a little longer, but the stone bridge structure is relatively simple, the material is convenient, and there is no need to move the reserve of the ring.

The other courtyard requested by Li Ke is not large, and the materials are not much, and the palace, or the Water God Mansion, is not up to the level of the palace, and the materials are not much, so after calculation, one-third of the materials can be left.

The Tang Dynasty court built a mansion for every prince who would be in the meeting, and the materials were allocated by the palace and built by the Taoist officials, not to get the people.

According to the unspoken rules of building a mansion, the remaining materials for building a mansion belong to the caster.

These royal building materials were sold to wealthy merchants and converted into cultivation materials, which was also a windfall.

"There is no problem with the plan, is the king of Taihu sure to build like this, and is there any other requirements?"

"No problem, please do it." Li Ke had already designed the drawings, and if he was dissatisfied in the future, he could build it himself after he took control of Taihu Lake.

"Please ask the king of Taihu Lake to move, and the poor road will be built by spell."

Li Ke stayed away from Xu Jingxuan.

"Mr. Zheng is from the six ethnic groups in Shandong?" Li Ke, who has always been a follower of Suzhou Fujun, is neither close nor alienated, and his attitude is quite peaceful.

"Xiaguan is indeed a Shandong scholar." Zheng Dechang nodded and replied, the name of the family is both pride and burden, Zheng Dechang is quite talented, he has his own arrogance in his heart, and he wants to get rid of the name of the family and establish some political achievements.

Li Ke looked up at Zheng Dechang. "What do you think about Taihu Lake and Suzhou?"

Zheng Dechang thought in his heart, thinking about what Li Ke meant, did he want to divide power, or directly seize power?

"I don't know what His Highness means?" Zheng Dechang squinted his eyes, thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides in his heart.

Li Ke looked at Taihu Lake and said: "Lone is called the King of Taihu Lake, Lone thinks that Taihu Lake is under the jurisdiction of Lone King for hundreds of miles offshore, and what does the prince think."

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, but Taihu Lake is not under the control of the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, there are no immortals in the water, monsters are rampant, and the people cannot fish and eat, and the vicinity of Taihu Lake is barren, so it doesn't matter if you give it to Li Ke, Zheng Dechang thought.

"As it should be". Zheng Dechang nodded.

"Zheng Fujun built a water god palace for the lonely king in Suzhou City, as the palace of the lonely king, the statue of the lonely king in the palace, the incense is continuous at four o'clock, and then the lonely king does not interfere in anything in the fiefdom, what does the prince think."

"Your Highness wants to transform into a god". Zheng Dechang was shocked, abandoned his body and turned into a god, once he started, there was no turning back.

"My mother is doing well in Chang'an." Li Ke looked up at Chang'an.

Zheng Dechang was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he said silently: "The prince is a person of pure filial piety."

If Li Ke doesn't die, some people won't be at ease, once Li Ke turns into a god and has no body, he will no longer be able to leave Taihu Lake, and he can only be trapped in Taihu Lake from now on.

After Li Ke turned into a god, if someone destroys the god and demolishes the temple, there is no incense to worship, and it will not take a few years for Li Ke to disappear.

Maybe after His Royal Highness turns into a god, the Yang family's life in the palace can be better.

Zheng Dechang thought in his heart that he was not thinking about how Li Ke chose him, but whether the conditions proposed by Li Ke were beneficial to him, he was calculating.

"The lower official agreed to the prince's request".

Li Ke nodded, the world of the Tang Dynasty is huge, the south is barren, Suzhou is more than 500 miles away from Taihu Lake, his requirements as long as 100 miles along the Taihu Lake are not too high, Zheng Dechang, as the monarch of the government, has no reason not to agree.
