Chapter 192 Annihilation of the Japanese Pirates

After the entire Japanese kingdom was thus eliminated, Liu Fu did not leave immediately. Instead, he continued to eradicate the threat completely, releasing all the strange beasts and ferocious beast armies to roam the entire Japanese land.

Liu Fu wasn't in a hurry to go back. In his mind, Japan was a special case. He could accept the Later Jin and Liao dynasties submitting to him, but Japan was an exception.

The absence of Japan is very important to Liu Fu!

In the following days, Liu Fu launched another frenzied destruction. In fact, he didn't need to lift a finger; the giant beasts alone were enough to destroy all the buildings and cities. If the giant beasts couldn't do something, Liu Fu would have Qiongqi do it.

Afterwards, Liu Fu ordered Qiongqi to start setting fires.

A large amount of fire was sprayed throughout the vast forests of Japan. As the fire began to burn, thick smoke billowed and swept across the entire forest.

Liu Fucai was finally somewhat satisfied, and then began to turn back to the Later Han Dynasty.

When the news of the defeat of the Japanese and Linren armies reached the capital of the Later Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Laowu was overjoyed. He couldn't sleep and jumped for joy, reading the memorial over and over again.

Looking at these reports of victory, Liu Laowu was so happy he couldn't sleep, even happier than if he had several stunningly beautiful women as wives.

Shortly afterward, Liu Laowu learned that Liu Jia had gone to the Scaled People's Kingdom alone and scattered corpses to thwart their morale.

Liu Laowu has had a string of happy events these past few days.

Before they could even recover from the joy of Liu Jia's provocation of the Linren Kingdom and the defeat of their spirit, they received another report of victory from Liu Fu: the entire Japanese kingdom had been razed to the ground.

"What?! The Eighth Prince actually razed the entire Japanese country to the ground in just a few days?"

Liu Laowu was completely dumbfounded and looked incredulous.

Although he knew Liu Fu's abilities and how capable he was, and had personally witnessed the terror of the giant beast, he never imagined that the mighty Japanese nation would be destroyed by Liu Fu in just a few days, and in such a horrific way that not a single person was spared.

This is something that is very difficult, but Liu Fu did it, and did it extremely easily.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Liu Laowu couldn't help but go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and wept bitterly before his ancestors. He also cried out in front of the memorial tablets of Liu Fu's mother and his wife.

"Wife, did you see that? Our eighth son has made something of himself, and all our sons have made something of themselves!"

Liu Laowu was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

In the days that followed, the people of the Later Han Dynasty were also immersed in cheers and joy upon hearing the news.

"Our Eighth Prince is truly unparalleled in history!"

"We'll never have to face the bullying of the Japanese again, and even the Liao and Later Jin troops won't come south to plunder us anymore!"

"That's right! We've suffered so much from their bullying over the years, especially during these chaotic times. Our ancestors must have been robbed and killed countless times by them throughout their entire lives. Now we finally don't have to live in such fear anymore!"

"That's right. From now on, we won't be their slaves anymore. Instead, we'll turn the tables and make these executioners, whose hands are stained with our blood, become our slaves and lackeys!"

The Later Han dynasty was now full of confidence, including Emperor Liu Laowu, who seemed fearless.

Of course, Liu Laowu also knew that his confidence came from Liu Fu.

Seeing the world initially at peace, Liu Laowu was extremely excited. He suddenly felt that he was getting old, even though he was over 50 years old.

Suddenly, the thought of passing the throne to Liu Fu came to mind.

"This is a big deal. Let's wait until the end of the year and call all our sons over to announce it together. No one should object, after all, the other seven of them combined are not as capable as our eighth son alone!"

Liu Laowu was right; indeed, no one would object.

Even those who initially harbored illusions about status, Liu Jia realized long ago that she was no match for Liu Fu, and everyone clearly understood that she simply did not have the qualifications to compare herself to Liu Fu.

Although he had the idea of ​​passing the throne to Liu Fu, Liu Laowu had to wait until the end of the year to arrange some things to ensure a smooth handover and Liu Fu's successful ascension to the throne.

Of course, Liu Fu had to get married first.

The crown prince of a country must first be married.

Even if you are a crown prince or a prince, you still need to have a crown princess or a princess.

At this time, Liu Laowu summoned Liu Fu, who was still in the capital, and the father and son talked late at night.

"Eighth Brother, besides Xiao Ying'er, do you have any other lovers outside?"

Liu Fu never expected that his usually conservative father would start asking about his private life.

"Ying'er is the only person who stays by my side right now."

Old Liu nodded and said.

"This girl has a good temperament. She was able to chat with you from afar and come all this way, which shows that she cares about you. Although our family has become emperors, our ancestors were farmers after all, so we don't have so many formalities. If you like this girl, then we will prepare a grand wedding for you two. She can be your principal wife, then your crown princess, and finally your empress. What do you think?"

"No way?"

Liu Fu looked at his father with some surprise.

"Father, you're still so young, why are you thinking about becoming a crown princess or empress? Are you planning to quit and hand over the throne to me?"

In other dynasties, if other princes dared to speak to their emperor father like that, they would likely be immediately feared by him.

But Liu Laowu didn't see anything wrong with Liu Fu's straightforwardness.

Liu Laowu said directly.

“We’ve reached the age of knowing our destiny, we’re already over 50, how many more years do we have left? Why don’t you take over the throne and do it right away, let your father retire, and we can plant a few acres of flowers, grass, crops and grains in our own imperial garden, that would be good, we can enjoy a few years of peaceful retirement, what do you think?”

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Liu Laowu's words, Liu Fu, the son, objected.

"Yes, you're still in your prime, doing so well. How can you just quit like that? That won't do."

“I dare not take your position. Although you have said many times that you will pass the throne to me in the future, that will have to wait for several years. I am not ready yet.”

Liu Fu immediately declined.

Then Liu Laowu laughed and scolded in an annoyed tone:

"You little rascal, do you think I don't know your tricks? You just want to play around for a few more years so your old man can work a few more years?"

"I'm telling you, don't even think about it. I want to enjoy my retirement. This position is yours!"
