Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning
Chapter 33 I am the King of a Country (1)
However, now is not a time of civil unrest, and killing him will do no good to me.
He turned a blind eye to his warning.
Wang Min saw that Xie Lang ignored him.
It seems that all my warnings are in vain. This is just like punching cotton.
So I felt a sense of rage in my heart, with no place to vent.
The people present also felt the subtle atmosphere and couldn't help but feel embarrassed for Wang Min.
The Queen Mother sitting on the upper throne glared at Xie Lang fiercely. Wang Min was speaking for her son, but Xie Lang didn't take it seriously.
Is it really possible that he is greedy for power?
But after all, she was still a princess, not to be feared. Now for the sake of her son, she had to compromise and said, "Your Majesty is away on a campaign, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day, so I appoint Princess Nanyang Li Jingming as regent to manage all government affairs."
Princess Nanyang was Li Jingming's title.
"Sir, obey the order."
Xie Lang bowed perfunctorily, his expression still as calm and composed as ever. He did not show any joy at having the power of regent, as if this was just a very rare and ordinary thing.
The Queen Mother saw that Xie Lang still had an expressionless face and couldn't tell what she was thinking. It seemed as if nothing could please her.
This feeling made the Queen Mother very upset, as it meant that she could not control Xie Lang.
Then he said something cruel: "Princess Nanyang, you'd better remember your promise and bring His Majesty back intact. Otherwise, I can make you the regent and you will be doomed forever."
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall became tense.
"The Queen Mother does not need to warn again and again. No matter how many times you warn, it will be meaningless." Xie Lang disagreed. With just one simple sentence, he completely eliminated the Queen Mother's power.
"I said that Your Majesty would come back in one piece, and I won't break my promise."
The Queen Mother's threat seemed stupid to Xie Lang.
If she wanted to bring Li Chongguang back, she would do it without verbal threats.
And if you don't want to, no matter how much you threaten, it will be of no use.
How come the Queen Mother doesn’t understand such a simple truth?
"That's better." The Queen Mother glanced at Xie Lang coldly.
Next, Xie Lang naturally had someone move a chair in front of the ministers, and sat down facing the ministers and with his back to the empress dowager.
The ministers stared in amazement at Xie Lang's action of sitting on the chair as if it was a matter of course, and were all stunned for a moment.
You just moved out the chair and sat on it after becoming the regent?
The empress dowager snorted coldly and tilted her head, not wanting to look at Xie Lang. Out of sight, out of mind.
If I look at it again, I will be so angry that I will die.
"Now that I am the regent, I will issue my first order. From today on, if the Khitans demand money, minerals, food or any other supplies from Great Yan, we will not agree to it. Those who disobey my order will be executed."
As the murderous words came out, the atmosphere in the whole place suddenly became solemn.
Wang Min frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Xie Lang's order: "What if the Khitan threatens your Majesty's life?"
"No, anyone who dares to give the Khitan even a penny will be charged with treason, and I will never tolerate it." Xie Lang's tone was very stern, and it was a bit murderous, which made the ministers feel a chill in their hearts: "The Khitan threatened your Majesty's life in order to find out the bottom line of our Great Yan. If you compromise once, you will compromise a second and third time."
"I just want to say one thing: never compromise."
Xie Lang glanced at the ministers with a sharp gaze, and said to them word by word: "If you don't believe it, you can try it."
There is no emotion in the calm words, only indifference to life.
It is a disregard for your Majesty's life.
This made some of the ministers in the hall frown.
For them, the safety of His Majesty is a matter of great importance to the country and the people, and no loss is allowed.
And now, Xie Lang doesn't take His Majesty's safety seriously, how can they accept this?
Sure enough, the next moment, an official named Cai Wa stood up to question.
"Princess Nanyang, what do you think of His Majesty's life? If you completely refuse, and the Khitans get angry and kill His Majesty, or cut off His Majesty's hands and feet, what crime will you be charged with then?"
Xie Lang just said: "What else can I take for granted? Of course, it's human life."
Cai Wa was choked by Xie Lang's words. What kind of answer was this?
But that was nothing. Xie Lang's next words made his face even darker.
"Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, and you are responsible for the country and people of Great Yan. You should be determined to sacrifice your life for the country. What does a mere threat to your life mean?"
As soon as this statement came out, the officials were in an uproar.
What the hell is Xie Lang talking about? Just a mere life threat.
That is your majesty's life, how can you use just two words?
It's as if your Majesty's life is worthless.
"You, you, you..." The first person to get angry was naturally the empress dowager who loved her son dearly. She was so angry that she didn't know what to say. She just pointed at Xie Lang with one finger, her face flushed.
"You said you would rescue His Majesty intact, are you going back on your word now?"
"I only said that your majesty's life is threatened, but I didn't say that your majesty will die. After all, your majesty is the king of Dayan. Unless the Khitan is stupid, they will not really kill him." Xie Lang naturally did not take the Queen Mother's anger seriously.
Not only was Li Chongguang's life not in danger, on the contrary, he was living well.
Otherwise, how could he say that Khitan Khan Yelu Bei was his brother during the restoration?
"If we kill your majesty, we will become mortal enemies with Dayan. There will be no room for easing. If Dayan gathers all the troops in the world to attack Khitan without considering the consequences, even though Dayan will be seriously injured and unable to recover, Khitan will be crippled if not destroyed. This will not benefit Khitan at all."
"What the Khitans want is to hold your Majesty hostage to threaten our Great Yan. As long as your Majesty is in their hands, our Great Yan will always have some reservations. If we kill him, where will we get a better hostage?"
After hearing this, the Queen Mother thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.
Your Majesty is indeed not in danger of his life now.
But she was particularly dissatisfied with Xie Lang's attitude. Her indifferent attitude showed that she did not care about the safety of His Majesty at all.
"Queen Mother, if you don't trust me, do you have a better way to rescue His Majesty?"
Xie Lang asked the empress dowager a question at this time, which made her speechless.
How could she do that? If she had a way, she wouldn't have given the power of regent to Xie Lang.
But this matter concerns her son's life. As a mother, how can she remain calm when her son falls into the hands of bandits?
Seeing that the Queen Mother did not speak, Xie Lang turned his gaze to Cai Wa, who first raised the question, and looked at him coldly: "Since you question my decision, then you have a better solution?"
When Cai Wa saw Xie Lang's look, he broke out in a cold sweat.
He...what else can he do?
"me……"
"There's no way, right? Then how dare you question me? Am I the regent or are you the regent?" Xie Lang was furious and cursed at Cai Wa, then said with a smile: "If you have a better way to rescue His Majesty... Come on, come on, you will be the regent..."
As he spoke, Xie Lang stood up from his seat, as if he was going to give the seat to Cai Wa.
Cai Wa was so frightened that he almost cried. His legs went limp and he immediately knelt down: "Princess, please spare me! Princess, please spare me! Princess, please spare me!!!"
The other court officials were also frightened by this scene and broke out in cold sweat. Xie Lang's power was even more terrifying than that of His Majesty.
Xie Lang stared coldly at Cai Wa who was kneeling on the ground, looking at him as if he were an ant.
Then he turned his gaze to the ministers: "Do you have any solution?"
The ministers were extremely frightened.
Wei Renda wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bowed to Xie Lang and said, "I will obey the princess's order."
"We will obey the princess' orders."
All the court officials shouted in unison, "Do they dare to say 'no'?"
If you dare to say "no", you will be the next one to face Xie Lang.
"Since you all agree with my decision," Xie Lang said calmly, "then do you have any different opinions on my proposal to reject all the Khitan's demands?"
Different views?
All the ministers shook their heads. How could they dare to have different opinions?
