Standing outside the capital, Liu Xu felt as if he had lost his spirit. The bitter cold wind began to snow in the north.

He came back with joy, and many grassland tribes such as Qiyan tribe, Kelie tribe, obeyed the imperial edict of the Great Jin Kingdom to send troops. Such a huge happy event, such as he thought about success day and night, and dreamed of success.

On the day of success, he ran day and night, regardless of his fatigue, and rushed back to Beijing from the distant grasslands in the northern desert and the banks of the Onon River, hoping to tell his monarch and his benefactor the great news.

As a result, I just arrived outside the city, but I heard the bad news...

In an instant, he was stunned outside the city, at a loss, joy and excitement slowly dissipated, and an indescribable emotion surged into his heart.

Is it sadness? Maybe there are but not all, there are also permeated, lost, empty, and unexplained things linger in my heart.

Liu Xu stood outside the city gate, standing among the crowd, and the follower whispered: "Sir, let's go in."

"Get in..." He choked up, "Yes, it's time to go in." I am the minister of the Great Jin. He told himself in his heart, but his steps were getting heavier and he couldn't take a step.

In fact, he knew in his heart that when the emperor died, he would have lost the sense of belonging to the Jin Kingdom and the Shangjing.

Until a group of people came out, the leader was Princess Wanyan Yingge, a person who embarrassed him.

"The old minister pays homage to His Highness the Princess."

"I am here with all the lords to pick up the Grand Secretary Liu Xu and Liu back to Beijing," Wanyan Ying sang.

"Taoshi?"

"The father left his will on his deathbed, and he was appointed as the Grand Tutor, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council, and assisted the new emperor Wanyan Li." Yelu Yali said.

"Emperor!" Liu Xu burst into tears in an instant. His life in his fifties has never been as sad as he is now. The former emperor not only saved his life, but also gave him wealth and honor, but also gave him such kindness at the last moment of his life!

"Mr. Liu, please go back to the imperial city to meet the emperor first. After all, you are the Grand Tutor now, and you are the Minister of the Central Secretariat." Wanyan Yingge's tone was plain, and she lacked all kinds of feelings she had before.

"Princess, let's go back now." Liu Xu said.

Wanyan Yingge didn't say anything, turned around and took them into the city. The snowflakes were still floating in the sky, and there were almost no pedestrians around.

Liu Xu followed behind and vaguely felt that the princess was a little strange today. The woman who embarrassed him the most was particularly quiet today.

To endure the grief in their hearts, they soon entered the imperial city and came outside the hall. The officials and nobles around them saluted him one after another when they saw him.

Wanyan Yingge suddenly stopped and turned around and said coldly: "My younger brother, the new Emperor of Great Jin, has promised me to the new patriarch of the Haixi Jurchen."

"Congratulations to the princess for tying the knot." Liu Xu bowed.

"This is what you expect..." Wanyan Yingge's eyes accumulated tears, "Let me marry a waste and a wine bag! No wonder the emperor said that you Han people have no men. I think it's not bad at all. Whenever you encounter difficult problems and dare not face problems, use benevolence, righteousness and morality as an excuse to cover up your cowardice!

Liu Xu, I once respected you so much, admired you, and loved you, but I knew today, I only saw you clearly today..."

She said as she couldn't help but she turned around and disappeared into the snow curtain.

Liu Xu stood there, mixed with all kinds of flavors, without a single sentence of explanation, until Wanyan Liang came out and respectfully invited him to walk in. There were many things, many problems, and many emotions. Liu Xu was suppressed in his heart. He was in his early fifties and understood what he should do.

"Trial Master, the Emperor... the Emperor's mood is a little..." On the way, Wanyan Liang said tactfully and helplessly: "Some are different from the past."

"Different?" Liu Xu frowned.

Wanyan Li sighed, "Yes, my father was still thinking about three people before his death, one was the emperor's uncle. After Lord Liu left, the Tatar tribe rebelled, and the emperor's uncle took charge to go to war. The father was concerned about the emperor's uncle and also about the war in the north."

Liu Xu nodded, and he also understood the ancestors very well. The Tatar tribe was on the west side of the Daxianbei Mountains. After passing the Daxianbei Mountains, it was the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and it was connected in large areas. If the rebellion was too great, it would be a threat.

“What about the second one?”

"The second is you, Liu Renren. Before his death, my father kept asking you when he would come back and wanted to meet you for the last time. It's a pity..." Speaking of this, Wanyan Liang lowered his head and didn't say anything further. It's a pity that he didn't meet.

Liu Xu closed his eyes in pain, his heart was curdled, and he couldn't speak. Wanyan Liang hurriedly supported him, "I am ashamed of the late emperor! I am ashamed of the late emperor..."

"Mr. Liu's Day mourn..."

...........

"In the end, who was the last person the emperor was concerned about?" he asked curiously.

Wanyan Liang stopped and sighed, "Oh, this is exactly what the emperor...is dissatisfied."

"The last person the late emperor cared about before leaving was not his beloved daughter, nor His Highness the Crown Prince, but... King Jin of Jingguo."

"King of Jin!"

"Yes, it's the King of Jin who only met his father. At that time, he was the King of Pingnan. His father just talked to him and never forgot about it. Before leaving, he mentioned it and was very worried about the situation in the south. He felt that with the King of Jin, Jingguo would sooner or later become a big trouble for me, Dajin." Wanyan Liang sighed.

Liu Xu nodded slowly: "The Emperor's eyes are like torch."

"But in this way, the second brother will inevitably feel emotional. The father repeatedly mentioned King Jin, but he did not give any advice to the second brother, who is the crown prince. He also said that King Jin was incomparable to him. The second brother..." At this point, Wanyan Liang did not say anything further, but Liu Xu understood it all.

Without saying it, he knew in his heart that after all, the previous emperor was right. The current emperor did not even have this conceit, so how could he be comparable to the King of Jin?

He couldn't help but feel that his courage suddenly became heavier.

With mental preparation, he entered the side hall, and the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Liang, was already waiting.

"Prime Minister, you are coming back just in time. I am discussing something with you!" Wanyan Li walked down from above and held his hand. The newly succeeded young man inevitably had a strong spirit and a domineering spirit.

"The old minister dares not, please speak, the emperor." Liu Xu bowed.

Wanyan Li's eyes sharpened: "The war in the north has been cleared, and the emperor's army won. With the help of the prime minister, Qiyan's tribe and Kelie's tribe sent troops from the west, and the Tatar tribe will soon be defeated."

"It's just that God bless me, the Emperor." Liu Xu said quickly: "In this way, the north will be peaceful and the south will ignore it, and I, the big gold, will have time to rest for several years. This is also the strategy that the late emperor thought. After a few years, my big gold will fully recover and no one in the world can compete with us."

Liu Xu hurriedly said that his words were flattering on the surface, but in fact they were using the first emperor to suppress the new emperor without any trace. He could vaguely feel the arrogance and aura in Wanyan Li, who had just waited to the throne, which was not a good thing for the Great Jin Kingdom, who needed to recuperate.

Wanyan Li waved his hand, "No! When the war in the north is over, I will let the emperor's army come back and go south to Shanhaiguan!"
