Chapter 173: Zixu sheds tears
Wu Zixu wanted to say something, but King Wu's face became more and more ugly, and he reprimanded: "Xiangguo, don't say more!" You are busy with your own business, and you don't care about Gusutai's affairs. ”
Wu Zixu opened his mouth, but you didn't say anything, so he silently withdrew. Out of the palace, I saw the street, people coming and going, the river is endless, there are buying and selling, there are many shops, prosperous and rich. It was not easy for Wu to develop from a small country in the middle of the country to a big country that could compete with Qi and Jin in the north.
After generations of bloody battles, how much blood has been shed and how many people have died!
Now Wu Wangfu is addicted to beauty and luxury, and he wants to pour the power of the country to build a Gusutai dedicated to pleasure, which is the beginning of the decline of the Wu Kingdom!
For the sake of his own selfishness, Na Bo Yao did not care about the safety of the country at all, and bewitched the king with evil words, but won the trust of King Wu. Bo Yao can speak well, and Wu Zixu has been defeated repeatedly.
And Wu Zixu's loyal words and strong admonitions aroused the disgust of King Wu and deepened the contradictions. Even his own net worth and life are difficult to guarantee.
Wu Zixu was loyal, and for the sake of the Wu State, he completely put life and death out of the way, but he was powerless to watch the Wu State go into decline like this. My heart is as uncomfortable as a knife.
His tears flowed down, and he silently thought in his heart: First king, I, Wu Zixu, am incompetent, and I can't do anything when I see the king's husband going farther and farther on the wrong path. What a shame on the king. I tried my best, but my husband didn't believe me anymore. I, Wu Zixu, may not die well. But I don't care. How can I save Da Wu!
Wu Zixu was heartbroken all the way, shed tears and left, without mentioning it.
Fan Li was relieved to see that Wu Zixu was driven away by King Wu. Without Wu Zixu's interference, he could pry King Wu to toss hard.
Although the Yue State is very weak, it is rising rapidly, and although the Wu State is strong, it is necessary to toss him to fall, and the long and the other will disappear, and there is hope for the restoration of the country.
God seems to have a special favor for Wu State, and he is invincible in foreign expansion. Defeated the state of Chu, eliminated the state of Yue, captured several small countries in the north, seized a lot of wealth, and added the use of iron tools, the wind and rain were smooth, and the harvest was bumper year after year, making the state of Wu rich and strong.
In such a favorable situation, it is inevitable that the king will indulge in pleasure. Coupled with Xi Shi's confusion, King Wu is destined to go downhill. Rich for no more than three generations, the same applies to kings.
Everything went according to plan.
Fan Liwen's Seven Techniques of Cutting Wu formulated in the Horse Raising Stone House are playing a role!
Fan Li saw that King Wu drove Wu Zixu away, bowed down and said: "King, Xiangguo is the first king and old minister, and if he is driven away like this, he will be sad in his heart." ”
King Wu said angrily: "No matter what he is, kicking his nose and face, how many times has he made the widow unable to get off the stage." Let's move on. ”
Bo Yao said: "Chen didn't sleep all night last night, thinking about what Gusutai should be built? ”
King Wu said, "What is the result of your consideration? ”
Bo Yao said: "First of all, it must be large-scale and imposing, and it must demonstrate the national prestige of our Great Wu and have a deterrent effect on all vassal states. ”
King Wu said, "Well, this is very important. You go on to say. ”
"The second thing is to be practical, not only to look good, but also to be easy to use. It should be suitable for the country to hold large-scale activities, such as the annual spring and autumn sacrifice ceremony, the opening of state banquets, major foreign affairs activities, the king's usual office, etc., can be arranged here. ”
King Wu said: "Well, the completion of Gusutai will raise the entire Wu Kingdom to a higher level." ”
Fan Li smiled: "This idea is so good, Dazai is a person who does great things." ”
King Wu said, "Is there anything else?" ”
"The other thing, and the most important point, is to be entertaining, that is, to have fun. To be novel, the palace buildings should be different, and the landscapes, flowers and trees should be novel and unique. It should be suitable for all kinds of recreational activities, climbing, boating, fishing, hunting, singing and dancing, dining, all of which are suitable. Only in this way can we ensure that Mrs. Shih Tzu is happy every day, and the king can get the greatest enjoyment. ”
"Okay, great," King Wu's face turned red with excitement. "Dazai, just do as you say, tell me, what to do?"
Bo Yao took out the picture he had drawn from his body and unfolded it on the table: "The minister has drawn a sketch, please see, the king, this is the main building, a huge high platform, this is the annex building. ”
Bo Yao's finger drawings, explained one by one, and finally King Wu also had a rough outline in his heart, and couldn't help sighing: "This is the fairyland on earth, a paradise." The hearts of the few yearn for it. ”
Fan Li said: "Dazai's idea is very ingenious, this is a grand plan that is unique in the world, and if it is realized, the king will definitely leave his name." However, according to Dazai's vision, an artificial lake was dug here, but where did the water come from? Therefore, I think that along this line, dig an artificial river to attract the water of Taihu Lake, and this lake will have water. Also, the river should be wide and deep, and large warships could be exercised, and if something happened, the king could reach the Taihu Lake Naval Division as soon as possible. Also, around Gusutai, it is also necessary to dig a circular river, the river is wide and deep, and scenic spots are set up along the way, which is a good place to play. In the event of a battle, we can keep the enemy out of the door as soon as we remove the bridge. In addition, a large warehouse should be built to store a large number of daily necessities, and in the event of war, there will be no problem in holding on for three and five years. In this way, Gusutai is a military fortress that can be attacked and defended. ”
King Wu shouted: "Young uncle, your brain is enough!" Dazai, add everything that the young uncle said. ”
Bo Yao said: "There are really many people with wide ideas, and the ministers will mark it." ”
King Wu was fascinated by this grand idea and walked around the house excitedly.
"Dazai, young uncle, this idea has come out. Let's talk about it, how do we do it? ”
Fan Li bowed: "The minister thinks that this matter can be divided into several steps, first, convene the ministers, hold a court meeting, and officially announce the king's intention to build Gusutai." Let's see what other different opinions the ministers have, and unify everyone's thoughts. Appointed the commander-in-chief of the capital for the construction of Gusutai. Then, select the address. At the same time, we are looking for the highest technician in the world, drawing the general design drawing, and the branch design drawing, determining the materials and materials, and formulating the technical requirements. Make a complete plan. Then, it's time to prepare the ingredients. Once the key materials are ready, construction can begin. ”
"That's probably the process," he said. The king makes the decision. ”
King Wu said: "Okay, you are all in the chest. The widow agreed. Let's first set the commander-in-chief. I think let's choose one of the two. ”
Bo Yao said: "Brother Fan Li, shrewd and capable, this matter must be yours." ”
Fan Li said: "King, it's not that Fan Li is afraid of hardship and tiredness, we should see who is most beneficial to the project." Dazai-sama is in a high position, and he has deep and wide network resources. Fan Li took over as the commander-in-chief, and if he wanted people and food, he had to go through Dazai's hands, so it was better for Dazai to handle it single-handedly and Fan Li assisted. ”
King Wu said, "Okay." Order: Dazai Boyao served as the commander-in-chief of the Gusutai construction project. ”
Bo Yao knelt down and kowtowed: "The minister is the order." ”
