Even so, there are still some things that we have to endure.
It was nothing more than saving face. As an emperor, many things were ingrained in Wanyan Xi's bones. He subconsciously snorted again to show the world his last bit of dignity.
But Liu Fu found this affected manner amusing.
If a truly resolute person were to become emperor, and were willing to commit suicide rather than suffer humiliation, that would be the choice of most people.
But Wanyan Xi was clearly not that kind of person. He merely snorted to show his stance and try to salvage his pitiful face. However, he forgot that as the emperor of a country, if a simple snort could solve the problem, it would be far too simplistic.
Seeing that Wanyan Xi had no intention of committing suicide, Liu Fu realized that this guy still valued his life.
Liu Fu found it amusing, so he beckoned over a little gorilla and had it defecate in front of everyone, right on the floor in front of Wanyan Xi.
The feces of gorillas are extremely smelly and disgusting. These guys usually eat raw food, especially meat, and their feces are greenish. The smell is like a mixture of ten-year-old stinky silt and spoiled eggs, plus a little bit of the smell of corpses and fish.
Unfortunately, the gorilla Liu Fu had summoned had been having digestive issues lately. Animals don't have many rules or restrictions in front of humans, so it would defecate whenever it wanted, and a large lump of greenish, runny feces was placed in front of Wanyan Xi.
The little gorilla was afraid it hadn't pooped enough, so to please its owner, it strained a few more times, resulting in a pile of runny poop weighing a good three or four pounds.
As soon as this thing was pulled out, a lingering stench immediately filled the surrounding air. Liu Fu had already retreated more than ten zhang away, and the civil and military officials also retreated one after another.
But just as Wanyan Xi was about to retreat, he was pinned to the spot by one of his gorilla underlings behind him.
Because the King Kongs were already four-star and three-star beasts, these ape minions were also over two zhang tall.
This thing was like a colossal behemoth in front of Wanyan Xi, a mere mortal, and there was absolutely no way for him to resist it.
Moreover, given the current situation, it's impossible for you to say that Wanyan Xi knew nothing at all.
Everyone else scurried away, leaving him alone here. This pile of green excrement in front of him was most likely his.
"Liu Fu, what do you intend to do to me?"
Liu Fu grinned, a sense of triumph welling up within him. In high spirits, Liu Fu playfully extended his hand and gestured "please" to Emperor Wanyan Xi.
Despite forcing the emperor to eat excrement, Liu Fu delivered the speech in a remarkably elegant and refined manner, even moving the court officials below to the point that they found it somewhat reasonable.
Then Liu Fu said:
"Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, cannot live a life of luxury and indulge in delicacies every day. This is not acceptable."
“I have heard that when people encounter famine years, whether it is a snowstorm or a drought, and finally run out of food and have nothing to eat, they can only dig up grass roots, eat tree bark, and eat dead rats. If even these things are gone, they will eat leather and wood powder, which is powder made from wood. If all the trees are gone, they can only eat clay. Many people even have to swallow their own excrement and digest it again to survive. If even this is not enough to get through the famine year, they can only exchange their own children to eat and dig up graves to eat.”
Liu Fu then said:
"Since Your Majesty is the emperor, you should experience the suffering of the people in order to be a wise ruler. If you have not experienced the suffering of the people, you should taste it even more so, so that Your Majesty will know how to be a good ruler, treat the people well, and understand their hardships in the future."
Liu Fu spoke in such a refined and literary style, yet Wanyan Xi was enraged:
"So after all that nonsense, you're telling me to eat shit?"
Liu Fu smiled:
"Your Majesty, please don't put it so vulgarly. This is about understanding the suffering of the people. As the emperor, I invite Your Majesty to have a taste."
"Hmph, what high-sounding words. Your father was also an emperor of the Later Han Dynasty, so why didn't he eat it? Since you govern Liaodong and have Liaodong as your fiefdom, why don't you eat it?"
Liu Fu had been waiting for these words, and suddenly his expression changed, and he said sternly:
"When the Later Jin invaded my Central Plains, how many people were killed, and how many were plundered by you? They suffered these torments back then. You are an enemy of my Han Dynasty, a maggot hated to the bone by the people of the Central Plains. Today, you are the emperor of the enemy country. I should make you taste all kinds of flavors. Kneel down and eat!"
Wanyan Xi couldn't argue, but she also refused to eat it.
But what are the gorilla henchmen behind him doing?
Even a gorilla henchman weighing a thousand pounds can lift a boulder and throw it away, so dealing with Wanyan Xi would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Wanyan Xi refused to kneel, so Liu Fu made his gorilla underlings kneel for him.
Then, Liu Fu drew his bow and shot an arrow from a distance, hitting Wanyan Xi squarely in the calf of his left leg.
"Want some or not?"
"I won't eat it!"
As soon as Wanyan Xi uttered the words "I won't eat," the gorilla henchmen behind him, following Liu Fu's instructions, shook the arrow embedded in Wanyan Xi's calf violently a few times.
"oops!"
Wanyan Xi let out a miserable scream.
Liu Fu's move was truly wicked. The arrowhead was already coated with chili peppers, and it would have been excruciatingly painful to fry it in, but instead of letting his little gorilla brother pull it out, he shook the arrow stuck in his leg. You can imagine the piercing pain.
Why do you have to pull out a splinter if it gets stuck in your flesh?
Because once it's pulled out, it won't hurt anymore, but if you don't pull it out, it will hurt every time you touch it, and you could suffer from the pain for the rest of your life.
Despite Wanyan Xi's stubbornness, after being tormented by the gorilla underlings several times, he obediently submitted and began begging for mercy.
"I'll eat it. Tell it to stop shaking, and I'll eat it! I'll eat it!"
Wanyan Xi was furious. As the emperor, he was already in such a state, being tormented like this, and not a single one of the ministers he had been supporting was willing to stand up for him.
At this moment, he hated these court officials even more than he hated Liu Fu.
Just as he was pondering how to escape this predicament and then deal with these ministers...
But then Liu Fu said:
"Hand over all the treasures in this entire palace, as well as the inner and outer city walls, and all the money and grain in the national treasury. I want to take Emperor Wanyan Xi back to Liaodong as slaves!"
