An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1187 It's Not Ominous

Everyone in the hall didn't know what was going on outside, so when they heard the news, they were

all in an uproar.

"Fires? How can there be fires? "

"Yes, is the fire serious? As it is the Emperor's enthronement ceremony today, shouldn't there be many

soldiers patrolling the city? Why did this happen? "

Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang looked at each other. Since there were flames and smoke rising in many

places of the city, it was most likely that the secret guards and the spies in the city were already taking

action.

Luo Qingyan turned around and looked down at the courtiers who were surprised or panic there. He

said calmly, "In that case, let's go out and have a look."

All the courtiers followed Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang out of the golden hall. Standing outside, they

saw fires burning around in the city.

Only within the sight of the crowd, they could see more than 10 smoke billowing places.

The noise became louder, "This..."

"Today, his majesty ascended to the throne. It's an ominous sign that there are fires everywhere..."

"What is that? In my opinion, it is obvious that someone deliberately set fire to disturb the public. "

"Who is in charge of today's patrol and defense in the city? There are fires in so many places that no

one has noticed or come up to report? "

"I wonder where the fire started and whether there are casualties?"

The courtiers were all discussing, but Luo Qingyan remained silent. After a while, he said, "Let's go

back to the palace."

Hearing this, the officials looked at each other in surprise. They were also surprised at Luo Qingyan's

indifferent reaction. He didn't even arrange people to put out the fire, nor was he surprised or angry at

all...

All the officials went back to the hall with Luo Qingyan in confusion.

"Have you seen what are happening in the city?" Luo Qingyan asked. His voice echoed in the golden

hall.

Of course they had seen it.

Luo Qingyan smiled, "I heard what you were talking about just now. I can tell you clearly that someone

did set fire on purpose. But the person who set the fire is not someone with evil intentions, but me. "

"Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty set the fire?"

"How could it be?"

The officials looked more confused and were left only shock.

"The more than 10 smoke billowing places you saw just now are only in one part of the city. Actually in

all parts of the city, I have ordered people to set fire to hundreds of fires...

I know what you want to ask. Why did I set fire?" Luo Qingyan tapped the armrest of the throne and

said, "I know everyone cares about where are these fires? Did anyone get hurt? I can answer your

questions here one by one.

The houses that have been deserted for a long time are all on fire. According to the law of the State of

Xia, the houses that have been abandoned for more than five years can be retrieved and rearranged.

However, I burned all these houses. If the owner of any of the houses can show me the related title

deeds, I can also withdraw a sum of money from the national treasury to make a certain compensation.

Later, some facilities for the citizens will be built in these places, such as the shelter for the homeless to

temporarily live in; such as the opera stages for the ordinary people to perform or to enjoy

themselves...

We will also build some private schools, a martial arts performing field, or a garden for entertainment."

Luo Qingyan said in a low voice. All the officials in the hall looked up and listened quietly.

"As for the details of the construction, I will send people to do a poll on it and then make the decision."

After a long time of silence, someone stood up and praised, "Your Majesties, you are wise!"

Then, more and more officials stood up and knelt down in front of Luo Qingyan, "Your Majesties, you

are wise!"

Luo Qingyan's eyes swept across the golden hall, "From ancient times till now, everyone has regarded

fire as an ominous thing. In order to avoid the ominous word of fire, they even called fire as running

water. But in my opinion, if fire can bring vitality and vigor to the people, it will not be ominous. "

What Luo Qingyan said sounded deafening.

After the banquet, Yun Shang] and Luo Qingyan went back to the back hall of the Taiji Palace.

"I thought your majesty wouldn't announce it at the banquet. After all, although the court has just been

cleansed, there must still be some spies in the court, such as the people of the Cao clan...

I don't know what's going on outside. They must have heard your Majesty's words and known your

Majesty's countermeasures. I'm afraid they will try their best to send messages out of the palace. If our

plan doesn't work, and they have prepared a later move, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen.

" Yun Shang was worried.

Luo Qingyan smiled, "We have arranged three things in total. One is to issue a notice, the other is to

check which deserted houses are in the city, and the other is to burn them after checking.

Among these three things, the notice should be posted first. The fire must be the last one to start.

By the time we saw it just now, there were already more than 10 places on fire, and this is only the

place we can see. This at least means that the notice has been posted. At this time, even if someone

has sent a message to the outside of the palace, we don't have to be afraid. Besides, even if someone

wants to send messages to the outside world, we have to see if it can be delivered. "

Thinking of the garrison in the palace today, Yun Shang smiled and said, "You're right. I was too

nervous. Besides, I think those who came up with the idea of setting fire have imagined countless ways

to deal with it, but they never thought that we would directly burn all the empty yards in the city. "

Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan with a smile, "Your Majesty, the fire is not ominous. I'm afraid that

it will soon spread throughout the city and cause a lot of discussion. Your majesty, you are rectifying the

name of fire." C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Luo Qingyan raised his hand and rubbed Yun Shang's nose, "Are you kidding me?"

"How dare I?"

Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan went back to the Weiyang Palace together to wait for the news. As soon

as they arrived at the gate of the Weiyang Palace, they saw on the window a big red character of

double happiness.

Yun Shang was stunned. She took two steps back and looked up at the plaque on the gate, "I didn't go

to a wrong place. What's this for?"

"Your majesties, Congratulations!"

all the servants in the Weiyang Palace were standing at the gate to welcome Luo Qingyan and Yun

Shang.

"Congratulations?"

Yun Shang blinked and turned to look at Luo Qingyan, who also had a smile on his face.

"It's my great joy. Today is the day of my enthronement ceremony and your grand ceremony. Do you

still remember what I said before?" Luo Qingyan replied.

Yun Shang looked at him blankly.

The smile in Luo Qingyan's eyes widened, "The Empress coronation is a form of imperial marriage..."

Before Luo Qingyan could finish his words, Yun Shang's face turned red.
