The Liao emperor had never encountered anything like this since birth; this was the first time he had ever been knocked unconscious by something so disgusting.
At this moment, everyone looked at the miserable state of the Liao emperor and wanted to laugh, but they were too embarrassed to laugh in front of Liu Fu.
Liu Fu did not blame anyone. Although the Liao emperor received such treatment as soon as he arrived in Liaodong, which would not sound good if word got out, it was not a big deal to Liu Fu.
When friends come, we welcome them with fine wine; when wolves come, we welcome them with hunting rifles.
All that talk about the grandeur of a great nation, the magnanimity of a broad-minded person, and the ability of a prime minister to tolerate a large boat—it was all utter nonsense to Liu Fu.
The premise is that you don't mess with me, or you'll be in big trouble.
The Liao emperor did not wake up until the evening of the second day.
When he woke up, he found himself lying in a bathtub filled with rose petals and osmanthus petals.
By this time, the fragrance of various flowers in the bathtub was strong enough to completely wash away the dirt and stench on the Liao emperor's body, and no smell could be detected.
But as if he had a cleanliness obsession, even so, the Liao emperor kept washing himself with a brush, scrubbing himself again and again, and constantly applying things that could be used to cleanse his body.
The Liao emperor stayed in the bathtub until late at night, scrubbing off layer after layer of skin until the pain became unbearable.
Even so, he still felt dirty.
This is the psychological shadow that Xun Yu left on the Liao Emperor for life. The Liao Emperor was originally carefree and did not have any obsession with cleanliness, but from now on he will become a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.
After washing and scrubbing over and over again, suddenly someone came in and knocked on the door:
"Your Majesty, our King invites you to a banquet."
When the Liao emperor arrived, he found everyone present already smiling and waiting for him.
Even if he wanted to lash out, he had to remember that this was Liu Fu's territory, not his own Liao Kingdom where he could act recklessly.
The Liao emperor could only pretend that nothing had happened and came over to chat with his ministers as if nothing had ever occurred.
All the officials in Liaodong were scrutinizing the Liao emperor, observing the subtle expressions on his face.
Their behavior was also within the Liao Emperor's observation range. The Liao Emperor discovered that these guys were all up to no good, and now they were looking at him with more varied expressions than he was, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Before Liu Fu could speak, Hai Rui, who had been harboring ill intentions, suddenly stood up, poured himself a cup of wine, and approached the Liao Emperor, saying something to him.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Liao, when the people of Tucheng lined the streets to welcome you, it was my fault for being negligent and failing to discover that they were hiding so many bad things among them, causing you great trouble. I apologize to you for this."
Hai Rui spoke lightly, but in reality, these words were meant to put the Liao emperor down. Everyone knew this, and now was the time to kick a man when he was down.
The Liao emperor was extremely annoyed that he had brought up such a sensitive topic. Fortunately, this was not one of his own subjects; otherwise, he would have been subjected to the punishment of being sliced to death.
But on the surface, the Liao emperor still had to act politely, as he was an emperor who cared a lot about his image.
He could only pretend that nothing had happened, and replied to Hai Rui with a smile.
"There's no point in saying more now that things have come to this."
With just these eight words of reply, it was clear that the Liao emperor was still unhappy.
But Hai Rui's temperament meant he didn't care whether he was happy or unhappy.
Instead, he kept reopening old wounds for the Liao emperor, intending to anger him to death.
"Your Majesty, alas, I never expected this. These people actually used the intestines of cattle and sheep to fill your body with foul-smelling excrement and then threw it at you. They must have planned this in advance. They threw hundreds of these intestines at you all at once. Some unruly people had also prepared a large amount of excrement and foot-washing water in advance."
Hai Rui continued speaking in a strange tone.
"Your Majesty, I was stunned when I saw that basin of foot-washing water splashed directly onto your face. Are you really alright? Should we have our King send the imperial physician to examine you?"
As Hai Rui spoke these insidious words, he watched the Liao Emperor's expression. He saw the Emperor's eyes grow increasingly bloodshot, his smile gradually stiffen and disappear, replaced by boundless rage.
However, he was currently on Liu Fu's territory, so it wasn't convenient for him to lash out directly.
Originally, the Liao emperor wanted to pretend that this incident had never happened and not let others reopen his wounds, but it was brought up anyway. Xun Yu also came over and began to apologize in a cunning manner. After Xun Yu finished apologizing, Zhuge Liang also arrived. Soon, the other ministers came up one after another to toast the Liao emperor and apologize.
Everyone stood close to the Liao Emperor, repeating his previous experience on the streets of Tucheng over and over again, making him realize time and again that he had made a fool of himself.
At this moment, the Liao emperor was already furious, but just then, Liu Fu personally walked up to him.
"Your Majesty the Liao Emperor, speaking of which, there is an old friend of yours in Liaodong. Would you like to meet him?"
The Liao emperor was taken aback and asked.
"An old friend? Who is it?"
This is your old in-law, Emperor Wanyan Xi of the Later Jin Dynasty.
The Liao emperor was taken aback, suddenly remembering the incident where the Later Jin emperor Wanyan Xi had been captured by Liu Fu.
"I will not see him then."
The Liao emperor knew that Liu Fu's invitation to see the Jin emperor was definitely not for anything good, so he immediately and shrewdly refused.
But Liu Fu shut him down with a single sentence.
"Although His Majesty is unwilling to see your old relative by marriage, he did say something on his deathbed that he hoped you could see him and fulfill his last wish."
The Liao emperor thought to himself, "This is bad. I have no choice but to agree now." As for the Jin emperor's last wish, he certainly didn't believe that the Jin emperor would really have any last wish that he needed to fulfill.
The Liao emperor knew perfectly well that this dying wish was something Liu Fu had made up on the spot, but now that he was under someone else's roof, he had no choice but to agree to Liu Fu's request and go with him to see the Jin emperor.
Moreover, judging from Liu Fu's words just now, the Jin Emperor made his last wishes on his deathbed. Could it be that the current Jin Emperor is already dead?
He did indeed die; Jin Di couldn't even withstand the beating Liu Laowu gave him.
Just three days after Liu Laowu left, Emperor Jin died.
After the banquet, Liu Fu and his men took the Liao emperor to a morgue in a prison.
As soon as the Liao Emperor entered the morgue of the imperial prison, he felt a chilling atmosphere. Strange voices echoed in his ears. Although the place was underground, a chilling wind blew in, making it extremely eerie.
Not long after, he met the Golden Emperor.
The Liao emperor's heart skipped a beat.
