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

Chapter 30 I am the King of a Country (1)

No return to the palace.

A red moon hung high in the sky. Under its illumination, everything in Wuhui Palace was shrouded in eerie horror.

Gloomy plants climbed up the palace walls, endless ghosts were roaring, and the dark palace looked particularly gloomy under the red moon. Even the civet cat that had been here for a long time still felt very uncomfortable.

Xie Lang sat on the throne in the main hall of Wuhui Palace, with a blazing black and red fire behind him, looking down at the woman in the crown and robes whose face was slightly pale.

When she came in, Xie Lang reviewed her entire life.

Li Jingming, a person favored by destiny, is also a time traveler. It can also be said that she has awakened the memories of her past life.

Before traveling through time, she was a history professor. Later, she traveled through time and became a princess of the Dayan Dynasty. Born to a palace maid and as a woman, she was destined to stay away from the political center.

However, she was not a person who would resign herself to her fate. She was unwilling to live a mediocre life, so she read widely and studied diligently. She was also interested in state affairs and put forward some insights, which earned her some reputation in the court.

Originally, even the princess had no right to interfere in state affairs, but she had the mandate of heaven, so everything was reasonable.

After the death of the previous emperor, his eldest son Li Chongguang ascended the throne. In order to emulate Emperor Taizu and sweep across the Khitan royal court, Li Chongguang ignored the dissuasion of his ministers, proclaimed himself a mighty general, led 450,000 troops and half of the civil and military officials to fight against the Khitan.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, all the accompanying civil and military officials were killed or wounded, and the emperor fell into the hands of the Khitan.

The king was captured, most of the senior officials also died, the queen mother did not understand state affairs, and the entire court was in chaos.

At this time, Li Jingming stood up to stabilize the political situation and reassure people's hearts. After the political situation stabilized, the ministers also realized that the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and the previous emperor had few children. Apart from Li Chongguang, there was only a two-year-old boy.

As the country was in turmoil, Dayan could not possibly want a child to be the emperor. After some debate and the blessing of destiny, Li Jingming finally became the emperor.

But this was conditional. Li Jingming reached a condition with the Queen Mother and all the ministers in the court that the throne would eventually be passed back to Li Chongguang's lineage. Li Jingming agreed, after all, she didn't want children.

It was this decision that led to her final tragedy.

After Li Jingming became emperor, everything went on in an orderly manner. Li Chongguang also became the emperor emeritus. In the meantime, the Khitan asked Li Chongguang to make a series of stupid operations at the gate of Shuoyang City, such as asking the generals guarding the city to open the gate, but all failed.

The Khitan also realized that Li Chongguang could not threaten the Yan Dynasty, so they released him back to cause trouble.

Although Li Jingming was not happy, he treated him well due to etiquette and the Queen Mother. Li Chongguang also brought back a woman named Jiang Xinbai, whom he especially doted on.

According to Li Jingming's observations over a period of time, Jiang Xinbai is also a time traveler. He occasionally uses modern vocabulary, has no manners, and is also love-brained.

However, Li Jingming did not make it public. She did not bother with a fool. She just made the son of Li Chongguang and Jiang Xinbai the crown prince according to the conditions reached with the ministers before.

More than a decade later, when Dayan was at peace, Li Chongguang joined forces with some ministers to launch a coup. Li Chongguang became emperor again, then announced that Li Jingming was a usurper and sentenced her to death with a cup of poisoned wine.

After her death, her imperial title was stripped away, her spirit tablet was not enshrined in the imperial temple, and she was buried in the wild in a thin coffin.

Before her death, Li Jingming asked those officials why they betrayed her. She treated them well, and they gave two reasons.

First, since they had no offspring, the family would be passed on to Li Chongguang's son after Li Jingming's death. Therefore, it was natural for them to rely on Li Chongguang. If they stood on Li Jingming's side, they would be liquidated after Li Jingming's death. Considering their prospects and future, they had to abandon Li Jingming.

Although it's a bit unfair, it's very realistic.

Second, Li Jingming is a woman. In the past, there was no choice but to allow a woman to become the monarch. Now it is time to set things right.

After Li Jingming's death, for some reason her consciousness had not yet dissipated and she stayed in the imperial city for a year. During this year, Li Chongguang's actions did not make her angry.

He first killed all the officials who had not surrendered to him, then became brothers with the Khitan Khan Yelu Bei who had captured him, and then recognized the orthodox position of Khitan, treating it as an equal with Dayan, and gave it annual tribute and resources.

Afterwards, he sent a daughter of the royal family to marry the prince. When his ministers advised him against it, he killed all of them. Only those humble, cowardly people who occupied their positions but did nothing were left in the court.

Then he and Jiang Xinbai reveled every night and ignored the affairs of state, the very thing that was just short of setting off beacons to trick the princes.

Looking at these monarchs and ministers, Li Jingming seemed to see the future of Dayan's demise, and at this moment, her soul mistakenly entered this Wuhui Palace.

"What is your wish?"

Xie Lang spoke first. All the souls that entered the Wuhui Palace were destined to be with her, Xie Lang. However, she asked this question not because she really wanted to fulfill the other party's wish.

She just wanted to know what Li Jingming would say on a whim?

She felt that Li Jingming's ending was somewhat tragic, but she didn't look like she had any deep obsession.

As soon as Li Jingming came in, some more information about Wuhui Palace popped up in his mind, and he also learned about Xie Lang's identity as the Demon Lord.

She was surprised at first, then delighted, and finally fell into deep thought.

The civet cat who was watching from the side noticed that Li Jingming changed her expressions several times in a short period of time and wondered if she was sick!

"I want to be reborn in the world of immortals with my memories. What price do I have to pay?" Li Jingming said shockingly, leaving the civet cat stunned on the spot.

Her wish... has nothing to do with her life!

Xie Lang's expression was as calm as ever. He did not answer Li Jingming's question, but only asked: "Don't you hate Li Chongguang and Jiang Xinbai?"

"They don't deserve it."

Li Jingming replied calmly that in modern times, she had longed for a life of riding a sword and riding the wind to eliminate demons between heaven and earth.

However, since there is no God in the world, she gave up the idea and concentrated on studying history. Meeting Xie Lang today brought back her middle school thinking.

Isn't it a waste of talent to use the wish of a demon king to seek revenge?

Besides, Li Chongguang and Jiang Xinbai are not worthy of her revenge, they will destroy themselves.

Future history books will certainly give her justice. As for the future of Dayan, she did what she should do and tried her best. No matter what the future holds, she will have no regrets.

One thing she regretted most was that she did not get rid of Li Chongguang, but there was no regret in making a move. Losing was losing, and there was not much point in starting over again.

What's more, now there is an opportunity to cultivate immortality in front of her, she must seize it. She prefers cultivating immortality to revenge.

"I can let you reincarnate into the world of immortal cultivation with your memories, but your identity is not that of a human. Are you willing?"

Xie Lang's words sounded calmly, seemingly without any emotional fluctuations.

"Yes, very much."

Li Jingming showed a happy expression, and was very excited: "As long as I can practice, it doesn't matter if I don't become a human being?"

She is not stupid. Being able to practice cultivation means infinite possibilities. Who cares what his identity is?

As long as she has memories, no matter what her identity is, she will only be herself.

Xie Lang glanced at her calmly, and then she turned into starlight and disappeared on the spot.

After she left, the civet cat asked curiously, "Sir, what role did you assign to Li Jingming?"

"A newly born Kunpeng egg."
