Chapter 230: Unloading the mill and killing the donkey
King Wu struggled to stay, Chang Geng and Luo Zichen still insisted on leaving, and King Wu had no choice but to agree to their request and let them leave.
At this time, Fan Li saw a fierce light flashing in King Wu's eyes. Although this fierce light was only a flash, it was still captured by Fan Li.
Fan Li couldn't help but shudder, with his understanding of the monarch, King Wu would not let go of Chang Geng and the others easily.
It's clear. Chang Gung and Luo Zichen are the best craftsmen in the world today, and these craftsmen have a common characteristic, that is, they are obsessed with craftsmanship.
They don't care about politics, they only care about the difficult engineering work there, and they just want to display their talents in the construction of the project.
It is very dangerous for such people to walk on the rivers and lakes.
Wu built the unparalleled Gusutai, which is the envy of the monarchs of various countries, especially the monarchs of those big countries, who will inevitably be tempted to build a better garden.
Then, they will definitely find Chang Geng and Luo Zichen. And Chang Geng and Luo Zichen will take this job without hesitation.
With the experience of building Gusutai, they will definitely design a better garden. Wu devoted its national strength and spent more than ten years to build Gusutai, which will be compared. This cannot be tolerated.
Therefore, King Wu is likely to attack Chang Geng and Luo Zichen and kill them, so that at least in the lifetime of King Wu, there will be no second garden like Gusutai in the world.
Fan Li felt sorry for Chang Geng and Luo Zichen, they were dedicated to studying technology, but they didn't know the danger of people's hearts and the ugliness of politics. In this way, he was killed by King Wu in vain, and I don't know how he died.
A huge sympathy was born, and Fan Li decided to rescue the two excellent craftsmen, not for anything else, but to stop the occurrence of evil.
At this time, under the leadership of Chang Geng and Luo Zichen, King Wu and others were visiting the first floor of Gusutai.
Chang Gung said: "Gusutai is a multi-functional building complex, where not only entertainment, viewing, but also handling state affairs, can hold large-scale court meetings, and can also hold national sacrifice ceremonies. At the same time, Gusutai was also a strong military fortress. Tens of thousands of soldiers can be hidden here, the river can block the enemy's attack, and each palace is a fortification against the enemy. See, king, these grasses, pounded and put on the wounds, are excellent golden spears. The leaves of these trees are edible. If you climb to the top floor, you can see the East China Sea and overlook Taihu Lake, and the situation within hundreds of miles is clear at a glance......"
"The biggest function of Gusutai is also entertainment, Gusutai is 300 zhang high, 84 zhang wide, there are nine winding roads to climb the steps, climb the towering high platform to enjoy the lake and mountains and pastoral scenery within a radius of 200 miles, its scenery is the best in the south of the Yangtze River, the world is unparalleled. The flowers of the four seasons are also planted around the high platform, the fruit of the eight sections, which stretches for dozens of miles, and also builds the spiritual hall and the heavenly pool. The hunting ground was for the king to hunt and play, and to have fun. There is a pavilion baby palace in the garden, the copper hook jade sill in the palace is decorated with pearl jade, the pavilion is exquisite, and the gold is brilliant. There are also dressing tables, playing flower ponds, playing moon pools, wisdom wells, longevity pavilions, Yinghui car pavilions and other attractions, each of which is enough to play and watch for several days. Each attraction can hold singing and dancing performances, large and small banquets, and the unique feature is the clog gallery......
Although King Wu watched all the Gusutai for a while, he was already fascinated by Chang Geng's introduction. Fascinated.
Xi Shi and Gou Yu took the prince and surrounded King Wu, either whispering or laughing, intimate and happy.
King Wu followed Chang Geng and Luo Zichen to tour everywhere, Xi Shi Gou and the palace maids surrounded the surroundings, it was really full of flowers, the fragrant breeze was blowing on the face, and the fragrance was incomparable.
Fan Li glanced at Zimei, and Zimei slowly approached her side. Fan Li whispered: "Zimei, have you found anything?" ”
Zimei said: "I have found that King Wu's every move can't escape my eyes. ”
Fan Li said: "What did you find? Let's talk about it. ”
Zimei said: "King Wu worked hard to keep Chang Geng and Luo Zichen, on the one hand, out of sincerity, to let the two enjoy happiness in the country of Wu, as a reward for the hard work of the two for several years, and on the other hand, to raise the two, that is, to control them, and not let their skills flow out." ”
Fan Li said: "Well said, it is the same as my opinion. Go on. ”
Zimei continued: "But Chang Geng and Luo Zichen insisted on leaving, showing the common characteristics of these craftsmen, that is, they are not greedy for glory and wealth, and are obsessed with technological innovation and development. In this way, it caused a crisis for King Wu, and what he feared was that these two high-level craftsmen would go to other great countries and build a better garden than Gusutai, which King Wu could not tolerate. ”
Fan Li said: "That's right, the situation should be like this. ”
Zimei continued: "King Wu saw that he couldn't keep the two, so he had to agree to let them go. The two of them planned to leave immediately, I saw that King Wu's eyes showed a fierce light, and his body was full of murderous energy, so in the name of the tour guide, I would stay Chang Geng and the two for one more day, I guess King Wu would arrange for people to get rid of Chang Geng and Luo Zichen tonight. ”
Fan Li said: "Your opinion is exactly the same as mine. What does Zimei think about this matter? ”
Zimei said: "These monarchs are full of benevolence and morality, but in their bones they are selfish and greedy, coupled with cruelty, Zimei hates this kind of behavior very much. ”
Fan Li said: "And there are still kind and simple people like Chang Geng and Luo Zichen in the world, they are like innocent lambs, who are put on the board and are about to be killed, and I don't know what is going on." ”
Zimei said: "Fan Jun, save them, such an honest person, blame the pitiful." ”
Fan Li said: "I also have this intention, the two of us cooperate to complete this matter, you have immortal spells, it will play a great role." ”
Zimei said: "I listen to your command. ”
As he was talking, he suddenly saw smoke and dust rising from the mountains and forests, the earth shook, and a group of people came to the outside of the garden and stopped.
It turned out that King Wu's palace forbidden army rushed to escort him. The so-called forbidden army is the most loyal and combat-ready army to the monarch. Only the monarch in the country can mobilize this army, and even the supreme military leader like Wu Zixu has no right to mobilize this army.
The leader of the forbidden army of Wu Palace is called Chang Hao, who ran to King Wu and said, "King, Chang Hao led his subordinates to escort him." ”
King Wu said: "The general is hard! ”
Turning to Chang Geng and Luo Zichen, he said, "Wait a minute, the widow will explain a few words to the general." ”
As he spoke, he led Chang Hao away from everyone and whispered something. I saw Chang Hao nodding while listening, and turned his face to look at Chang Geng and Luo Zichen.
Zimei said: "King Wu is giving a task. ”
Fan Li said: "Zimei, you see, although King Wu trusts me on the surface, he doesn't dare to give me such a task, do you know why?" ”
Zimei said: "This is not difficult to understand, because you have thoughts, and King Wu also has to show his benevolent side in front of you, so if he decides to kill Chang Geng and Luo Zichen, he will definitely hide it from you." That is, at least, for now, the trombone won't do it in front of you. ”
Fan Li said: "It makes sense. That is to say, they will secretly kill Chang Geng and Luo Zichen, and then destroy the corpses. Chang Gung has no relatives here, no one pursues it, and this matter will be covered up forever. ”。
Zimei said: "Secret killing, which makes it more difficult for us to rescue. ”
Fan Li said: "It's okay, I'm confident that my wits are no worse than that of King Wu." ”
