Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

Chapter 40 I am the King of a Country (1)

Yu Xun was speechless for a long time. He wanted to refute something, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Yes, they have offended Li Chongguang to death. If Li Chongguang can go back, will they still have a chance to survive?

Now there is only one way before them, and that is to establish a new king.

Now that things have been done to the extreme, they should be even more extreme. As long as a new emperor is established, Li Chongguang's throne can be completely cut off.

It also cuts off the possibility for Li Chongguang to settle accounts with them.

This thought emerged in the minds of Yu Xun and all the generals present.

If they had not shot the arrow before, they would still have had a choice, but after Chen He gave the order, they had no choice but to go all the way.

"Lord Chen, I believe you have already made up your mind?" Thinking of this, Yu Xun looked at Chen He. He was asking about the candidate for the new king.

This person is crucial, at least he must be able to control the situation.

And we must not be timid or lead hundreds of thousands of soldiers to die if there is a disagreement. Dayan can no longer withstand another Li Chongguang.

Chen He watched Li Chongguang's carriage move away from his sight until it disappeared from his field of vision. He thought of Xie Lang who seemed to have everything under control in the Huaguang Palace that day.

He couldn't help but murmur, "The princess was born according to the destiny of heaven and will be the emperor."

Chen He closed his eyes, and when he said this, he vaguely realized that this situation was also under Xie Lang's control.

Although it was Xie Lang who ordered the arrow to be shot at Li Chongguang, he was actually the one who gave the order. If the matter was investigated, he would be the culprit and his entire clan could be exterminated.

His only choice was to push Xie Lang to the throne, so that he could not only save his life but also gain the merit of following the emperor.

Apart from him, the same goes for generals like Yu Xun. Their only choice is Xie Lang.

Princess, so all this was your plan?

"Princess? Destiny?" Yu Xun and others have heard Chen He mention this word more than once.

"But she is a woman after all. This is against etiquette."

"Etiquette? Haha. That guy complies with etiquette, but he almost destroyed half of my Great Yan. The princess does not comply with etiquette, but it was she who stepped forward when the country was in danger, controlled the chaotic situation in Daliang, and saved countless soldiers and civilians on the border. Just based on this, that's enough."

When Chen He mentioned Li Chongguang, he seemed to be very disgusted. He didn't even want to call him "Your Majesty", but only expressed it as "That person".

"In the face of the survival of the country, what does etiquette and law mean?"

Chen He's words gave Yu Xun a wake-up call. Yes, the country is about to perish, what is the point of caring about so many etiquette and laws?

Whoever can save Dayan, whoever can defend the border, whoever can win the hearts of the people, will be the emperor destined by heaven.

"Do you understand?"

"I figured it out."

Next, Chen He wrote a military report on what happened in Shuoyang City and quickly sent it to Daliang City.

…………

The next day.

Daliang City.

After receiving the military report, Xie Lang quickly convened a court meeting in the Weiyang Palace.

And all officials in Beijing are required to participate.

The Queen Mother was also there. When she heard that the military report was about the Emperor, she placed a chair next to the Dragon Throne and held court.

Xie Lang had no objection to this, and it was even she who had the news revealed to the empress dowager.

Xie Lang sat in the position of regent, holding a military report in his hand, his face still very calm, but the ministers present felt that today's court meeting was not simple. Xie Lang's pressure was even heavier today, as if something big was about to happen.

"Princess Nanyang, how is my son now? What is the content of the military report? When will the emperor be redeemed?" The empress dowager could not help but ask when she saw Xie Lang.

What she is most concerned about now is naturally her son's situation. It has been nearly half a month since her son was captured. She doesn't know how he got through this half month?

The court officials below also looked at Xie Lang. What exactly was written in the military report?

Xie Lang ignored the Queen Mother's words and just said, "Minister Wei, please read it to everyone."

As he said this, he handed the military report in his hand to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch handed it over to Wei Renda, who was standing at the head of all officials.

Wei Renda took the military newspaper, looked at it for a few seconds, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

"Yesterday afternoon, Yelu Bei personally led a large army to Shuoyang City. A man emerged from the carriage, claiming to be the Emperor of Great Yan. He was wearing an ochre-yellow dragon robe and shouted at the gate of Shuoyang City to open it quickly."

What? That's ridiculous!

This was the first reaction of the court officials when they heard this.

If this is true, then is the emperor crazy?

"That's my son? What happened to my son later?" The Queen Mother could no longer sit still and couldn't help asking what happened next.

Everyone looked towards Wei Renda. Facing everyone's gaze, Wei Renda continued, "Minister Chen thought this was a conspiracy by the Khitans to force our army to open the city gates. Your Majesty, as the Emperor of Great Yan, would never do something that would harm the country. That person is definitely an imposter. So he ordered the archers to shoot arrows and drive the enemy back."

When Wei Renda said this, the ministers were still in shock. The Queen Mother could not help herself and slammed the table angrily. She stood up from her seat in anger and said, "How dare you! How dare you! How dare you! Who told him to shoot the arrow? Is he planning to rebel? If it was really my son, would he be able to bear the consequences? He is guilty of regicide."

"And what are the guards of Shuoyang City doing? Why don't you stop him? If anything goes wrong with my son, they will all be buried with him..."

"This is what I meant." Xie Lang's calm words plunged the hall into complete silence.

The Queen Mother was also silent for a few seconds.

"What did you say? What do you mean?" After a few seconds of silence, the Queen Mother became furious. Her anger was completely ignited by Xie Lang's words.

"How dare you? How dare you make such a decision? That's His Majesty, the emperor of Great Yan. I get it, you're trying to use this incident to get rid of my son and become the emperor, right?! Hahahaha, Princess Nanyang, you're worthy of being me. You started planning for the throne the day His Majesty got into trouble, right?"

The Queen Mother had completely lost her mind at this time. She realized that all of this was planned by Xie Lang, from the moment she said she wanted to save Li Chongguang.

"You said you would bring my son back intact, but that was a lie, right? You are lying. Your real purpose is to take control of the government, and then take the opportunity to murder my son so that you can become the emperor legitimately."

"Look, this is the true face of Princess Nanyang. She did everything she could to get the throne. You have all been deceived by her, deceived by her..."

The Queen Mother was almost on the verge of insanity, and all the ministers looked at Xie Lang with strange and cautious expressions.

Is it really as the Queen Mother said?

"Your Highness, I hope you can give me an explanation." Wang Min looked coldly at Xie Lang, who still had a calm expression.
