Chapter 229: Chang Gung resigns

The pleasure boat, carrying Wu Wang and his people, entered the diversion river from Taihu Lake, played all the way, and then circled around Gusutai. From far to near, everyone watched the whole appearance of Gusutai, and they were all shocked by the magnificent momentum of Gusutai.

Finally, the painting boat stopped at a pier, Fan Li led the king of Wu to abandon the boat and go ashore, Bo Yao had been waiting on the shore for a long time, when he saw my king landing, he hurriedly stepped forward and paid homage: "Welcome to Gusutai!" ”

There were two other people along with Bo Yao, that is, Chang Geng, the chief engineer of Gusutai, and Luo Zichen, the deputy chief engineer, who also visited the shrine.

Wu Wang happily pulled up Bo Yao and Chang Geng Luo Zichen, and said: "The three are all meritorious men who built Gusutai, please hurry up." ”

Gusutai was completely completed, 100,000 migrant workers have been dismissed, craftsmen of all sizes from various countries have returned home, and the two chief engineers have to pack their backpacks and leave. Bo Yao said: "Don't worry, you are different from other craftsmen, you two have been given official positions by the king, and you can't leave casually, if you don't say goodbye, it is an escape, and your reputation is very ugly." ”

Fan Li felt that what Bo Yao said was reasonable, so he said: "Two doctors, Dazai is reasonable. The two of them made great efforts in the construction of Gusu Taizhong, worked hard for several years, and finally got a perfect ending, why don't they stay in the court, be an idle official, and enjoy a stable life. ”

Chang Geng said: "Thank you for your kindness, I am just an ordinary craftsman, living a wandering life, and I can't be an official." ”

Luo Zichen said: "Lord Dazai, Uncle Fan, since we have taken the position of the middle doctor, then we can easily leave when we meet the king in person and resign from our official position." ”

Bo Yao said: "The masters are different. Ordinary people even have to compete for a small pavilion chief to do it, but these two brothers don't let the high-ranking officials do it, but go to do it and live a wandering life. ”

Fan Li said: "What's so strange about this? At that time, Uncle Bo Qi was angry and did not eat Zhou Su, and starved to death in Shouyang Mountain. How can you compare the superior with the vast number of sentient beings? Since Chang Geng Zichen and the others are unwilling to be officials, we don't have to force them to stay, even if they are forced to stay in Wu State, they are also uncomfortable in their hearts. Why bother? It is better to wait for the opportunity to say goodbye to the king and let them go on their own. ”

Chang Geng Luo Zichen thanked him: "Thank you two for your success." ”

Not long after, King Wu arrived, saw Chang Geng Luo Zichen, and said: "The two Aiqing have built such a good garden for Da Wu, not only for Wu Guo's long face, but also for the world to know, and will leave a name in history." It's a great achievement. Say, what kind of official do you want to be? Say it, and the officials will reward it. ”

Chang Geng and Luo Zichen knelt down, and Chang Geng said, "Thank you, the king." After the master was killed, he not only used the minister as an engineer, but also gave the post of doctor, and the minister was really deserved. ”

Luo Zichen said: "The master was killed, and the minister just finished what the master didn't finish. Take this opportunity to comfort Master's spirit in heaven. Now that Gusutai has been completed, the minister's affairs have been completed. The minister has neither the ability to govern the country, nor the talent to level the world, so he is ashamed to stay in the court and eat food and salary. ”

King Wu said: "Hurry up, no need for a big gift." Pulled up the two of them and said, "Why did Erqing say this?" What you have done for the state of Wu, some ministers will not be able to do it in their lifetime. From now on, Wu Guo will feed you, don't you see that it will be two people? Dazai, you can arrange a site to build a mansion for the two doctors. ”

Bo Yao said: "The minister obeys the order, the two of them are masters of engineering themselves, and they have a home for themselves, isn't it a matter of being able to catch them?" ”

Chang Gung said: "Adults and slow. He turned to King Wu and said, "Your lord, this is the end of the matter, and my brother has to go around and find some work." ”

King Wu said: "The widow has already said, you don't have to work to earn those little money, Wu Guo supports you." ”

Luo Zichen said: "Thank you for the king's kindness, we have made up our minds, and the position of the middle doctor will also be returned, please allow the king!" ”

King Wu blinked his eyes and looked at Chang Geng and Luo Zichen puzzled: "I said two, why can't the widow understand you, if you have a good life, why do you have to suffer by yourself?" ”

Chang Geng bowed down and said, "King Rongyu, everyone has their own way of living. The minister is a craftsman, only by working and eating, the heart is steady, the kind of life that sits and enjoys, the minister is really not used to it. Please also ask for the king's understanding. ”

King Wu said: "Do you really have to go to the countryside to find work? ”

Chang Gung said: "I really have to find a job." ”

King Wu said: "The widow is really keeping you, please also tell the truth to the widow, is there any country looking for you to build any project?" ”

Chang Geng said: "This is really not. Looking at the world, no monarch has ever had the courage of King Wu to build such a forest garden. The villain has an empty skill, and I am afraid that he will not have a chance to show it again. With that, he sighed deeply.

King Wu was a little embarrassed for a while, and said as if to himself: "You are so enthusiastic about showing your talents, even if no one else has built any high platform now, then there will be in the future." Then you can show your skills again. ”

Chang Gung said: "If there is such an opportunity, the villain will naturally not be able to ask for it." ”

King Wu spread out his hands and said to Fan Li and Bo Yao: "You see this whole thing, the two masters don't even leave a chance to thank the widow. ”

Fan Li bowed down and said, "The minister and Lord Dazai also kept the two masters like this before, but the two of them have already made up their minds. The minister thinks that everything in the world is fateful, and since the fate of the two masters and the king and the king and the minister has ended, it is best to follow their own hearts, and the king does not have to stay with each other. ”

King Wu sighed, bit his lip, and said, "Well, since this is the case, the widow will not be retained." Dazai, you order the treasury to pay five catties of gold to each of them as travel expenses. ”

Chang Geng hurriedly saluted and said: "King Xie, no need, that thing is on its back, strange and heavy, tiring, we just take away our own carpentry furniture, the villain has craftsmanship, and he can't be hungry anywhere." ”

King Wu said, "Well, respect your wishes, when do you two plan to leave, or someone will set up a banquet for you." ”

Chang Geng said: "King Xie, no need, if there is nothing else, we plan to leave now." Leave! ”

The two knelt down, kowtowed to King Wu, stood up, bowed to Bo Yao Fan Li, and then turned to leave.

King Wu looked at the two of them, and a fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes. This fierce light flashed away, but it was still seen by Fan Li.

Fan Li was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "Chang Geng and Luo Zichen are in danger. ”

I only heard King Wu say: "Two of you, please stay." ”

Chang Geng and Luo Zichen glanced at each other, turned around, and said, "What else does the king have to say?" ”。

King Wu said: "Please don't leave in a hurry, the widow will visit Gusutai for the first time, it is inevitable that he will be unfamiliar, I want to invite two tour guides, explain a little, and chat to solve my doubts." Please don't shirk your words. ”

Chang Geng and Luo Zichen looked at each other again, and Chang Geng said: "Since the king invites me, my brother will stay for a night and leave tomorrow." ”
