King Wu had a hard time.

Gusutai had to stop work because the chief engineer Lu Hai was killed. A huge construction team of tens of thousands of people did not dare to be dismissed, because it was not easy to gather after the dismissal. If you don't dismiss you, you can only eat empty salary. That's tens of thousands of catties of grain a day.

The murderer who framed Lu Hai was killed first, of course, it was murder. Say. The mastermind behind the scenes is still in the shadows, and he may be able to do it at any time. This made King Wu like a mang on his back.

Shangguan Zhengzhi has been pursuing, but he has no useful clues. There are such people lurking in the shadows, and even the safety of King Wu is not guaranteed.

But these are all trivial things, and what worries King Wu the most is that Xi Shi's old problem has been committed. Since the shutdown of Gusutai, Xi Shi has gradually become sleepy and sluggish, and he is in a trance all day long.

King Wu felt that Xi Shi had been fighting his spirit and came to play with him. The laughter was forced. Halfway through a song, I suddenly forgot the words. When dancing, I can even stop in a daze. Shortly after waking up at dawn, he yawned and dozed off.

The most amazing thing about Xi Shi is that there is a special beauty when he is sick, which later generations called morbid beauty. This is a special kind of beauty that makes King Wu's soul unrelenting.

But he knows very well that it is not a good thing for people to be sick, no matter how good this sick beauty is, it is better not to want it, it is best for people to be healthy.

He knew that this was all caused by the shutdown of Gusutai, and Xi Shi's longing for Gusutai was even greater than that of King Wu himself. Whenever there is good news from Gusutai, Xi Shi is very happy, and he is very attentive to serving King Wu, and King Wu has been immersed in a state of wanting to die. That kind of happiness is better than the gods.

Whenever something went wrong in Gusutai, Xi Shi was worried. Mental malaise. King Wu knew that Xi Shi was worried about Gusutai. But she never said it. King Wu knew that this was Xi Shi feeling sorry for himself and didn't want to block himself.

Xi Shi is not only beautiful, but also sensible, mellow and kind-hearted, which makes King Wu fascinated.

King Wu knew the root of Xi Shi's illness, so he didn't look for doctors, and those doctors would only make Xi Shi's torture more serious.

He summoned Bo Yao and Fan Li almost every day to ask when Gusutai would be able to start work. How's the search for the chief engineer going?

Each answer disappointed him.

King Wu understands the difficulty of this matter, there are few people in the world who can serve as chief engineers, or only one or two, and it is not easy to find such a person.

Fan Li said: "The minister has sent people to the various vassal states to investigate and inquire, and almost all the skilled craftsmen from various countries are concentrated in the Gusutai construction site. Originally, the minister also wanted to go out to look for it like the previous times, but considering that the skilled craftsmen were concentrated on the construction site, it was better to go out to find it among the tens of thousands of people. ”

King Wu said, "Have you found it?" ”

Bo Yao said: "I found it, and the young uncle and I investigated and understood on the construction site every day. ”

King Wu said, "Is there a result?" ”

"If there is a result, the minister will report it to the king as soon as possible." ”

King Wu sighed and said, "You guys, you can't do such a thing. Bo Yao and Fan Li hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister is incompetent, please punish the king." ”

King Wu said, "Forget it, what's the use of punishing you?" ”

He knows that Fan Li and Bo Yao are the two people with the strongest ability to do things in the DPRK and China, and if they can't do it, others will be even more unable to do it, and there is one person who can do it well, that is, Wu Zixu, but Wu Zixu originally had different opinions on the construction of Gusutai, and if he let him do it, he would definitely smash the pot.

King Wu didn't want to blame them too much, and it was useless to blame, not that they were not dedicated, but that the matter was in a hurry.

In fact, Fan Li had already done this properly, and Chang Geng and Luo Zichen were hidden by Zimei in a place where no one could find them. It will be handed over to King Wu at an opportune time. The reason why they were not allowed to come forward for the time being was to give King Wu the impression that it was not easy to find an engineer.

Fan Li was very glad that he had a plan, and when Lu Hai just took over the project, he arranged for Lu Hai to train a successor. Today, the move that was laid out five years ago has finally come into play.

Fan Li was particularly touched by Lu Hai's dedication, he knew that he was always in danger, but he still took risks without fear, not only to make the project go smoothly, but also to successfully train a qualified engineer.

Finally, Fan Li felt that the heat was almost over. Gusutai has been suspended for several months, and King Wu is anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and Xi Shi is so sick that he can't get out of bed.

Fan Li said: "The king, the minister has found a candidate to be the chief engineer. ”

King Wu shouted: "You are still a young uncle, you are powerful." Quick, bring this gentleman to see the widow, and the widow will give him a reward. ”

Fan Li said: "But he escaped. ”

"Ran away?" King Wu was taken aback, "Why did you escape?" ”

Fan Li sneered: "People don't want to be your official!" ”

"Why?" King Wu looked confused.

Fan Li said: "These people are extremely smart people. If people can calculate the accounts, they all know that your official is important, or your own life is important. ”

King Wu was even more confused: "Young uncle, what do you mean by this?" ”

Fan Li said: "People know that this chief engineer is a high-risk profession, and if you don't do it, you will lose your life." Afraid that we would find him, he fled. ”

King Wu said, "Do you know where he is? The widow went to invite him personally! ”

Fan Li smiled and said: "King, no need, this person has been arrested, no, please come back." ”

King Wu said, "Where is this gentleman, bring the widow to him quickly." ”

Fan Li said: "King, I can't help it, he hasn't agreed to be this engineer yet, as soon as the king goes to see him, he feels a lot of pressure, maybe he runs away again." ”

King Wu said, "That...... So what to do? ”

Fan Li said: "Please give the king time to the ministers." The minister must have persuaded him to become an engineer within two or three days. ”

King Wu said: "This matter is entrusted to you, young uncle, and only you can handle this matter." Alas! There were hundreds of civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, and only the young uncle was the only one who really shared the worries of the widows. ”

Fan Li bowed deeply: "King, when Fan Li came to Wu as a hostage with King Yue, the king did not treat Fan Li as a slave, but respected him and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, which made the minister grateful, and the minister should try his best to do things for the king, and he did his best to die." ”

King Wu sighed and said: "Fan Shaobo's virtuous name is known to the world, and it is really fate that few people can help each other." ”

Fan Li said: "The minister is busy with trivial matters and hasn't visited Sister Xi Shi for a long time. I wonder how Madame is doing? ”

King Wu said sadly: "Mrs. Changguo is very worried because of the suspension of work in Gusutai, and her condition is already very serious. ”

Fan Li was taken aback: "King, hurry up and ask a doctor." ”。

King Wu said: "It's useless, as long as Gusutai starts, Xi Shi's illness will be cured." ”

Fan Li said: "The minister will do everything possible to persuade this gentleman to take over as chief engineer and strive to start construction within three to five days." ”
