Chapter 138 Finally, he sat on the dragon throne of the Later Jin emperor.
Reading Settings
The emperor of a country is the ruler of the country, the greatest, and the entire nation must respect him.
Such a noble emperor was asked such a casual question by an outsider.
If it were in Wanyan Xi's old temper, regardless of whether the person was Liu Fu or not, he would have immediately confiscated their property and exterminated their entire family.
This is a grave offense of disrespecting the emperor!
But Wanyan Xi has absolutely no confidence now.
It really proves the saying, "When you're under someone's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head."
Even if you are the emperor of a country, you may not be able to defeat others, but others can defeat you anytime, anywhere.
Even as the supreme ruler of a nation, Liu Fu could easily take his life now.
Although he was already extremely angry and wished he could tear Liu Fu to pieces and execute him with a thousand cuts, Wanyan Xi knew that the situation had now turned against him, and he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
But as the emperor of a country, he was used to being proud. When Liu Fu asked him this question, he replied directly, "Where can I put my face?"
Wanyan Xi immediately turned her head away, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.
For him, this was the best way to handle it.
Upon seeing their emperor, the backbone of the Later Jin was surprisingly "obedient" when facing Liu Fu, which caused some very subtle thoughts to arise in the minds of the Later Jin officials.
Should we immediately switch sides and side with Liu Fu?
The ministers were pondering the matter, but they were all prepared to wait and see how things developed.
These people are incredibly cunning now, and many of them are cautiously casting probing glances at Liu Fu.
Liu Fu was too lazy to pay attention to these people at this point. In response to Jin Di's cold snort, he directly slapped him across the face.
"Smack!"
A crisp and resounding slap left a bright red five-finger mark on Jin Di's face, clear and perfectly timed.
Liu Fu's slap was both well-deserved and brilliant.
It wasn't serious; it didn't make Jin Di vomit blood.
It wasn't a light slap either; the slap left a noticeable handprint on Jin Di's face, and the crisp sound was heard by almost everyone present. Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to Jin Di.
Wanyan Xi was furious!
The slap stung his face, and then everyone's burning gazes turned to him, making him feel incredibly uncomfortable. In that instant, he lost all face he could.
When someone is hit, their first reaction is definitely anger.
Jin Di was no exception. Almost as soon as he was being hit, he paused slightly and immediately reached out to draw his sword and slash at Liu Fu, but he forgot that he did not have a sword hanging at his waist.
When he reached out to grab Liu Fu, he missed.
Wanyan Xi had no idea when Liu Fu had captured her. She had just missed her target, but Liu Fu had already countered her and dragged her along the ground like a dead dog towards the Golden Palace of the Later Jin Dynasty...
"Let's go, I want to see what kind of monstrosity the Later Jin emperor's palace is."
Dragging Jin Di like a dead dog, Liu Fu walked at an extremely fast pace. Jin Di tried to resist and struggle, but Liu Fu's hand was like an iron clamp, grabbing him and refusing to let go no matter what. Jin Di had no choice but to give up resisting and let Liu Fu drag him and rub against the floor. By the time they reached the steps, Wanyan Xi was already bleeding from his head.
Upon arriving at the Golden Palace, Liu Fu glanced at it twice and immediately looked disgusted.
With a "bang," Liu Fu kicked over the dragon-patterned desk.
A jade seal of the Later Jin emperor rolled down the steps with a thud, but it didn't break.
Liu Fu's gaze was drawn to the jade seal, but he immediately looked away and instead looked at the gleaming dragon throne behind the dragon desk.
This dragon throne is even more magnificent and larger than the dragon throne of the Later Han Dynasty.
It wasn't that Emperor Liu Laowu of the Later Han Dynasty couldn't afford to build it, but rather that he understood how hard-earned the people's wealth was, so he didn't squander it entirely. He still used the dragon throne that the King of Yan, whom he killed when he conquered the Yan Kingdom's palace, had sat on.
After comparing the two dragon thrones of the Later Han and the Later Jin dynasties, Liu Fu stepped forward and plopped down on Wanyan Xi's dragon throne.
The hearts of the assembled officials trembled almost simultaneously.
Wanyan Xi gritted his teeth and remained silent, but from his furious eyes, it was clear that his eyes were practically dripping blood. He was trembling all over, and steam was rising from his head. It was easy to imagine how enraged he had become.
Let's look at Liu Fu again.
He completely disregarded Emperor Wanyan Xi, and after sitting on the dragon throne for a while, he felt uncomfortable and even stood on it and walked around twice.
"Is this broken chair even fit for a human to sit on?"
Liu Fu looked at Wanyan Xi with displeasure and said sarcastically:
"Wanyan Xi, little Xizi, it's really unfair to you to sit on such a broken dragon throne all these years. Look at this broken dragon throne, what's so good about it?"
"Speak," Liu Fu said, using all his strength to kick the heavy dragon throne, which weighed over a thousand pounds, to the ground, and then spat on it.
Wanyan Xixin was heartbroken. Several times, she almost blurted out a string of curses, but fortunately, she had a strong will and forced herself to shut up, otherwise, she would have definitely caused trouble.
Just then, Liu Fu said something that enraged Wanyan Xi:
"Do you want to be chopped up and fed to the dogs by me, or have your limbs cut off and turned into a human pig? Of course, you have the right to choose. I may not punish you in either of these ways, but you must wear mourning clothes and mourn and pay respects to the innocent Han people who were killed by the Later Jin. If you do well, I will decide how to deal with you then."
Looking at Wanyan Xi, Liu Fu's face remained expressionless as he issued his final ultimatum without any hesitation:
"Alright, here are three options, choose one."
"snort!"
"Throughout history, there have only been kings who died in battle and states that were seized, but there have never been cowardly emperors."
Having been repeatedly humiliated by Liu Fu, Wanyan Xi even harbored a determination to die a martyr. He stared directly at Liu Fu, unleashing all his fury, and pointed at Liu Fu's nose, saying:
"Even if I die, I will not submit to you. Do you dare to insult me, the dignified Emperor of the Great Jin?"
"dream!"
"Come on, take my head now, and make it quick."
Liu Fu never expected that everyone would say Wanyan Xi was petty, stingy, and extremely afraid of death.
What's wrong with me today?
He'd already pumped himself up, and now he's all puffed up, wanting to be a fallen emperor and leave behind a glorious legacy.
"Yo ho."
Liu Fu stared at Wanyan Xi for a long time. He couldn't see Wanyan Xi as an emperor who would bravely face death. "You little brat," he thought, "I'll make you pay today..."
