Chapter 122 The Golden Emperor's Headache
Reading Settings
Liaodong at this time.
Zhuge Liang was already numb.
Xun Yu was already numb.
Looking at the hundred-mile-long stone Great Wall that Liu Fu had brought back, Hai Rui thought he was seeing things.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were filled with questions: Where am I? Who am I? What kind of world is this?
What Liu Fu has been doing lately is far beyond what is commonly understood!
However, it's easier to accept these historically capable officials, since they were all people who had died on another planet and were summoned back by Liu Fu, which is already quite absurd.
So the acceptance rate is relatively good.
On the contrary, the common people, although King Zhongwu distributed land to himself, punished corrupt officials and tyrants, and did many good things for the country and the people, are now constantly redressing the grievances of the wronged. It can be said that he is doing his best to build the entire Liaodong into a beautiful place.
But how big and long would a hundred-mile-long stone Great Wall have to be?
Can the prince move it?
That's just nonsense.
The people don't believe it at all. Now, the whole of Liaodong is talking about this matter, and the buzz is even spreading to the Han capital.
"Hey, have you heard? Our prince has moved the entire Hundred-Mile Stone Great Wall to the Liaodong border. I heard it's the natural barrier of Qinglong Pass of the Later Jin dynasty."
"I just don't believe it. What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Do you even know what a hundred-mile-long stone Great Wall is?"
“Back when my family had nowhere to live, we moved to Liaodong. But just as we were settling down, the Later Jin army came south to plunder. My grandfather was captured and taken to Qinglong Pass. At that time, the entire 100-mile-long Great Wall was almost finished. My grandfather told me since I was a child that Qinglong Pass was a natural fortress!”
"That's a stone Great Wall built on a mountain ridge a hundred meters high, like a long snake lying on the ground. No matter how many cavalry or infantry you have, hundreds of thousands of men, as long as you dare to go there, they can block you back."
"Moving?"
"You think that's your family's toilet for eating, that you can just move it like that?"
"Bullshit! Your family would eat from the toilet, wouldn't they? That Prince Zhongwu is a god-like figure, rumored to be the son of the Jade Emperor. What's wrong with him mobilizing a few deities from the five directions? Are you stupid?"
…………
The people were arguing fiercely.
The news spread like wildfire and quickly reached the Han capital.
The atmosphere in the imperial court was unusually different today.
The court officials had something on their minds that they all wanted to ask Liu Laowu.
Liu Laowu also had something on his mind that he wanted to ask the ministers.
Moreover, the emperor and his minister were thinking about the same thing.
"My dear ministers, I've heard that the Eighth Prince has used some kind of divine power to move the entire Qinglong Pass Great Wall from the Later Jin back to the Later Han. I don't know where this news came from, or whether it's true or false."
The courtiers stared at Liu Laowu, who was sitting on the dragon throne. It seemed that even the emperor himself didn't know the truth of the matter.
The court officials also heard about this and found it very strange. They all thought that when they arrived at the court today, they would find an opportunity to ask His Majesty about it.
Unexpectedly, even His Majesty was unaware of this matter.
"That damned Eighth Brother, he didn't even inform us of such a big thing. Qinglong Pass has always been a fortress of the Later Jin that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We've always wanted to find a way to fight the Later Jin. Those bastards have been bullied by them all these years. We wanted to turn the tables on them and show them that the Later Han Dynasty is not to be trifled with. We wanted to teach them a lesson. But we've been blocked by this damn Qinglong Pass Great Wall. We don't have the confidence to do it."
"If this kid actually manages to get things done, this will be a huge surprise!"
The Great Liao Dynasty, its capital.
When the Liao emperor heard that Liu Fu had moved the Hundred-Li Stone Great Wall, he almost fell off his dragon throne.
"Will this work?"
"Just what kind of skills does Liu Fu possess that he can even move a hundred-mile-long stone Great Wall?"
The Liao emperor was utterly shocked, his eyes wide open, but he was the first to recover from his shock.
Upon hearing this, the Liao emperor was not angry but rather pleased:
"Someone, bring out two jars of the imperial wine that has been sealed away in the palace for a hundred years. I want to drink to my heart's content tonight and celebrate this event!"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? When Liu Fu was still in our Great Liao, he stole all your fine wines. Not to mention century-old vintages, even fifty-year-old imperial wines are gone, Your Majesty."
"That damned bastard!"
The Liao emperor suddenly remembered this matter and became furious:
"Bring me my finest wine; I wish to celebrate with a hearty drink today."
The Liao emperor was calculating the days for Liu Fu. Even if Liu Fu could live to be a hundred years old, after these few times of using his methods, his lifespan should be almost exhausted, right?
"Hmph, that brat Liu Fu has done me a great favor. Once he's dead, I'll have nothing to fear, and seizing control of the Later Han will be a piece of cake."
"On the contrary, by taking over the hundred-mile-long stone Great Wall at Qinglong Pass, the Later Jin's strongest line of defense has been destroyed. In the future, when I unify the world, I will surely destroy the Later Jin. With Qinglong Pass destroyed, the destruction of the Later Jin will be just around the corner! Hahahaha!"
Liu Laowu was completely bewildered and was still trying to find out if the news was true or false.
The Liao emperor was nearby and already knew the truth, but he was still very happy.
If everyone is laughing, then someone has to cry, right?
At this moment, in the Golden Palace of the Later Jin Dynasty, Emperor Wanyan Xi looked worried and was in a very bad mood.
He and his ministers had been pondering for days, but they simply couldn't come up with a way to deal with Liu Fu's behemoth.
Thirty-eight thousand Later Jin soldiers were running naked through the streets. The news has spread. Is this the behavior of the elite troops of the Great Jin? Running naked in the streets?
What's most baffling is that even the famous Qinglong Pass section of the Great Wall, a landmark defensive fortification of the Later Jin dynasty, was easily transported back to the Later Han dynasty by Liu Fu in no time.
This matter left Wanyan Xi speechless with despair.
With Liu Fu possessing such terrifying abilities to move a hundred-mile-long stone Great Wall, how could anyone possibly resist?
For some unknown reason, Liu Fu has temporarily withdrawn to the Later Han Dynasty. But given his temperament, who knows when he might come back again?
What should we do if Liu Fu really comes to the Later Jin again?
Wanyan Xi was now extremely anxious and overwhelmed. He had summoned his ministers for several days to discuss how to deal with the giant beast under Liu Fu's command, and the final result was summed up in a few words:
"We, your humble servants, have come up with no idea. Your Majesty is a man of exceptional talent and must have already made a plan. We humbly await Your Majesty's divine decision."
Wanyan Xi wanted to curse as soon as she heard this. What the hell was Long Yisheng's decision?
If Liu Fu comes again, he could easily crush the Jin emperor. He can't just surrender with his hands raised the next time he sees Liu Fu, can he?
