Chapter 52 How to get rid of Liu Fu, this plague god? Who will save me?
Reading Settings
The Liao emperor felt completely dazed.
With his current intelligence and speed, he simply cannot resolve such an awkward situation.
In fact...
The three people on this large bed were not the only ones who were bewildered, not just the Liao Emperor.
Princess Zhaoyue of Japan was also completely bewildered. She had just woken up to find her father lying next to her and her husband lying on the other side.
She had no choice but to continue pretending to be asleep, keeping her eyes tightly closed.
Then look at the Fifth Prince next to her, he was gritting his teeth and trembling with anger, his fists clenched tightly, and the veins on his face were bulging!
The Fifth Prince is now so eager to kill the Liao Emperor that he dares not do it.
The three of them lay in one bed, and for a moment, the relationship became extremely awkward...
Many wealthy families also had similarly delicate relationships.
When the wealthy merchant's wife woke up, she found herself lying in the arms of her farmhand. Terrified, she dared not utter a sound and secretly crawled back to her room.
The three sons of the Left Chancellor of the Liao Dynasty drew their knives and tried to kill each other.
Liu Fu's terrible deeds!
Last night, he put the Left Chancellor's eldest daughter-in-law in his third son's bed, then put the third daughter-in-law in his second son's room, and then put the second daughter-in-law in his eldest son's bed...
At this moment, the three sons of the Left Chancellor started fighting, and blood had already been drawn. The scene was out of control for a while...
Liaodu is in chaos.
Everything's in chaos!
Just as the Liao people were in chaos, the Liao emperor's secret treasury was finally opened.
The emperor's private treasury was generally referred to as the Imperial Treasury.
When Liu Fu entered the inner treasury, he found the contents to be exceptionally dazzling.
The inner vault doesn't have many items, but everything in it is of the highest quality.
A single luminous pearl the size of an egg is priceless.
One hundred and eight top-quality pearls, each the size of a walnut, perfectly round and lustrous, truly priceless treasures.
Exquisite jadeite, fine jade, rare antiques and paintings, and boxes of gold and silver jewelry.
Compared to that, the dozens of gold ingots worth ten thousand taels each and the hundreds of silver ingots worth ten thousand taels each lying in the corner seem less valuable.
Liu Fu roughly estimated that the treasures in the Liao Emperor's private treasury were worth more than ten million taels of silver.
This time we've really struck it rich!
All the treasures were put into the ranch. Liu Fu left his name on the wall and then left.
The sun was high in the sky.
The Liao emperor couldn't stand it any longer. He saw that the fifth prince and Princess Zhaoyue were still lying there, as if they hadn't woken up yet.
They understood each other implicitly; he knew the other wanted him to leave first, so he quickly got up and left the Fifth Prince's residence.
The servants in the manor were startled!
Why did His Majesty come out of the prince's palace?
The Liao emperor was quite decisive; he ordered the execution of everyone who saw him leave the prince's palace, leaving no one alive!
After he left, the Fifth Prince got up, his lips trembling with anger, and his face turned deathly pale...
In the imperial study, the Liao emperor summoned several trusted ministers to discuss matters.
Their focus now is no longer on killing Liu Fu, but on how to get rid of this plague god from the Liao Dynasty and send him back to the Later Han Dynasty.
It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away!
The Liao emperor wrote a letter to Liu Laowu, saying that since his son did not agree, then his father would summon him back.
But this method is useless.
By the time the letter from the Liao Empire reached the Later Han Dynasty, Xiao Ying'er had already been safely escorted back to the Han capital.
Meanwhile, news of Liu Fu allegedly burning 30,000 Liao cavalry, shooting and killing envoys from the Later Jin and Japan, and shooting the Liao king in the street had already spread throughout the Later Han Dynasty.
When Liu Laowu first heard about what Liu Fu had done, he was terrified.
He simply couldn't believe that Liu Fu, without soldiers or generals, could possibly defeat 30,000 Liao cavalry.
But when the Liao Kingdom sent a messenger with a letter, telling him that they did not want Liu Fu as a hostage and asking Liu Laowu to recall Liu Fu immediately.
Liu Laowu understood instantly.
"This Liao emperor is really sick. You sent our eighth son to be a hostage, and now you want us to personally summon him back."
"Can't you just tell our eighth son if you don't have a mouth? Do you have to write a formal letter to tell us?"
Although Liu Laowu was a rough and uncultured man, the fact that he became emperor showed he was no pushover.
"Something's fishy here!"
Whether Liu Fu killed 30,000 cavalry is questionable, but it is an undeniable fact that he shot and killed the Liao King and the envoys of the Later Jin and Japanese in the street, and that's all fine.
Isn't it obvious that the Liao emperor is wary of Liu Fu? Otherwise, given the Liao emperor's temperament, would Liu Fu still be alive today?
Liu Laowu chose to continue cooperating with Liu Fu and had no intention of recalling him. He even specially made an imperial token and sent it to Liu Fu.
As long as Liu Fu holds this token, he can act first and report later, and freely deploy troops.
Meanwhile, the envoys sent by Liu Laowu to the Liao Kingdom finally arrived in the Liao capital at a leisurely pace.
The Liao emperor truly gave the Later Han dynasty a great deal of face.
Logically, given his long-standing disdain for the Later Han dynasty and his alliance with the Later Jin and Japan, he should have been even more critical and sarcastic towards the Later Han.
Today, however, the Liao emperor was dressed in his finest attire, and the welcoming procession stretched for miles, making it almost as grand as if Liu Laowu himself had personally come to visit.
"Oh dear, the envoys from the Later Han Dynasty have arrived! Come in quickly, I have prepared a lavish banquet to welcome you!"
The Liao emperor personally led the way, taking the arm of the Later Han envoy by the wrist, and they walked hand in hand into the palace.
This completely baffled the envoys from the Later Han Dynasty.
Liu Fu's elder brothers, Prince Shan Liu Shan and Prince Fu Liu Dai, also came to pay their respects to the Liao Emperor in person this time.
Liu Laowu's original plan was to send two newly appointed princes to show more respect and persuade the Liao Kingdom not to join forces with the Later Jin and the Japanese against him.
Originally, the eldest and second eldest brothers came with a very humble attitude, as they were essentially begging for help.
Moreover, on the way here, the two were still whispering to each other about how to carefully answer the Liao Emperor when they met him.
I never expected the Liao emperor to be so enthusiastic.
"Your Majesty, I wonder where my eighth brother is now? It's been a long time since we brothers have seen each other."
Before King Shan could finish speaking, the Liao Emperor immediately nodded:
"I see. I will send you to see the Eighth Prince immediately. You brothers can have a good meeting first. I will postpone the welcoming banquet until tomorrow. You brothers can have a good chat tonight."
Holy crap?
Is this still the same ruthless, invincible, and domineering emperor of the Liao Dynasty? The ruler of the Great Liao?
King Shan and King Fu were truly stunned.
The banquets arranged by the emperor were usually only for us to attend, but we only mentioned that we wanted to see Liu Fu. The Liao emperor was so respectful to us that he canceled the banquet and personally escorted us to Liu Fu's residence.
Was the Liao emperor bewitched?
Can a banquet be canceled so easily? Do you think you have that much face to save?
That's so unusual!
It's not just the Liao emperor acting strangely; he's almost driven mad by Liu Fu!
When I woke up on the first day, I found myself lying with Princess Zhaoyue and the Fifth Prince.
When she woke up the next day, she found herself lying with the Fourth Prince and the Empress Jin.
On the third day, he sent people to guard the area closely. He himself was unharmed, but his concubines ended up lying with a group of beggars.
On the fourth day, his beloved Akhal-Teke horse suddenly went mad. That night, the old eunuch who had served him for decades suddenly appeared at the Imperial Stables, only to have his back door pierced by the Akhal-Teke horse...
………………
The entire Liao capital is now in a state of utter chaos, far beyond what one could describe.
If it weren't for saving face and maintaining imperial dignity, the Liao emperor would truly want to kneel down and say to Liu Fu:
"Ancestor, please return to the Later Han Dynasty! I can't bear it any longer!"
It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away!
This is so difficult!!!
The Liao emperor is now in a panic. How can this plague be sent away? Who will save me?
