An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1186 Burn It!

"Make · the · fire · bigger?" Qian Yin was surprised.

"Yes," replied Yun Shang. Her eyes were full of coldness, "Since the fire is on, the bigger the fire is, the

better."

After saying that, Yun Shang didn't immediately explain further. She only ordered the servants, "Go on.

We can talk on the way. It's not good to delay the imperial banquet."

The chariot moved on again.

Yun Shang then asked, "Since someone deliberately set the fire and the place was chosen between

every two Temples of Heaven, it must have been planned for a long time. The fire must have burned

some empty courtyards, right?"

"Yes, majesty," Qian Yin nodded and said, "I have ordered my spies to investigate it. They are indeed

empty courtyards without anyone around."

"As I expected, things will be much easier," Yun Shang concluded.

The Phoenix chariot stopped in front of the back hall of the Taiji Palace. Yun Shang got off the chariot

and walked quickly into the hall with Chengye.

Sitting behind the imperial table, Luo Qingyan frowned and listened to the secret guards' report.

Seeing Yun Shang come in, Luo Qingyan raised his hand and signaled the secret guards to stop.

"Have you received the news, Shang'er?"

Yun Shang nodded, "I've heard from Qian Yin on the way here."

Luo Qingyan kept silent for a while and asked, "What do you think about it, Shang'er?"

Both of them looked at each other, and both of them captured a similar hostility in each other's eyes.

The corners of their mouths curled into a smile.

"Let the fire burn more fiercely,"

They spoke almost at the same time.

Hearing this, the others in the hall looked at each other in dismay.

Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang smiled more brightly.

"Your Majesty and I have the same idea," Yun Shang said smilingly.

Luo Qingyan nodded, "They are more merciful this time after all. They are burn some deserted houses.

If there are casualties in these fires, it will be difficult to deal with. "

"Maybe it's because they are afraid that things will be exposed. If there are casualties, it would be

difficult to recover. In this situation, even if the people behind the conspiracy are caught, there is still

room for their sophistry," Yun Shang replied.

Luo Qingyan nodded, turned around and ordered the secret guards, "Send someone to investigate all

the deserted houses in the city. Set a fire to them."

"Burn one if you find out one deserted house. Hurry up. But don't burn after you find out everything,"

Yun Shang added. Then she turned to Qian Yin, "There are many spies disguised as beggars in the

streets. They should know these deserted houses best. Ask them to help the secret guards do this."

Luo Qingyan smiled and turned to Liu Wenan, "Issue an announcement and post it in public. Tell them

that I'm overjoyed to be the Emperor and burn all the deserted houses in the city on the day of the

enthronement ceremony. Later, I will build something beneficial to the people in these places, such as

the stages, the private schools, the martial arts performing fields, and places for entertainment..." Yun

Shang continued, "Ask the spies posing as storytellers, beggars and buskers to spread this news as

soon as possible, at least faster and wider than the previous rumors."

When the people in the hall heard what Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang had arranged in unison, their

eyes lit up with joy.

"Your Majesties, you are wise!"

"In this way, we can reverse the situation and turn what is not good for us into a favorable situation that

everyone will praise. Your majesties are really farsighted."

Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang looked at each other and smiled. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Well, don't flatter us. Just do it. Either of these two things must be done as soon as possible so that we

can see the effect. If it's too late, it will be useless. "said Luo Qingyan.

Everyone left and did as Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan ordered.

It was not until then that Yun Shang had time to pay attention to Chengye. Seeing him sitting obediently

in the chair and playing with the seven-piece puzzle that he had brought from the Weiyang Palace, Yun

Shang was also a little surprised. She asked him, "Is this seven-piece puzzle funny?"

Chengye shook his head, "No. But Father and Mother have something important to deal with."

Yun Shang was more and more surprised. She turned to look at Luo Qingyan.

Luo Qingyan smiled, "Recently, I have taken him with me occasionally to listen to the courtiers' reports.

He is the Crown Prince. It's no harm for him to know these things earlier. "

"Can he sit still?" Yun Shang was curious.

Luo Qingyan took a look at Chengye, who was still playing the seven-piece puzzle, "Not bad. At the

beginning, he looked a little irritable, but he has got used to it after a few times."

At such a young age, Chengye was able to sit quietly and listened to the obscure memorials and

advice of the courtiers. Yun Shang felt sorry for him, but she also knew that Luo Qingyan did this for the

same purpose as she brought him to the imperial banquet today. They all hoped that they could make

use of the limited time to help him as much as possible, so that he could know more and take less

detours in the future.

Yun Shang stroked Chengye and said, "It's good to sit still here. Our child is still young. Don't be too

restrained. Everything should be done step by step. We can't achieve it overnight. "

"I know what I'm doing," said Luo Qingyan.

Both of them were talking when Liu Wenan came to report, "Your Majesties, all the officials have taken

their seats. Your majesties, shall we go to the hall now?"

Luo Qingyan turned to Yun Shang, "Your majesty?"

"Why are you looking at me?" Yun Shang rolled her eyes at Luo Qingyan, "Let's go."

"Okay, let's go." Luo Qingyan bent down and took Chengye by the hand. Three of them went to the

front Golden Hall together.

"Long live your majesty, the Emperor! Long live Your Majesty, the Empress! Greetings, your highness

Crown Prince..."

"Arise."

Everyone took their seats. Yun Shang glanced at all the people at the banquet slowly.

Compared with the Palace Banquet a month ago, now there were many new members in the palace.

Although they were new, there were still many familiar faces among them. And now, these people in

the court were a little younger than the previous officials, and they seemed to have added some vigor

and vitality.

Yun Shang turned to Luo Qingyan with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, your majesty."

Although Yun Shang didn't say anything much, Luo Qingyan immediately understood what she meant.

He pursed his lips and smiled, "Your Majesty, you are flattering me. Without your support, we can't

clear the court so quickly. You must be tired, your majesty."

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. She turned to Liu Wenan and said, "Let's start the banquet."

Liu Wenan bowed and shook the duster in his hand while announcing, "The banquet starts -"

The music started.

The hall was full of singing and dancing. Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan smiled, but they knew better that

it was difficult to hide the bloody scene outside the palace.

Sure enough, before the banquet was over, someone stumbled in, reeking of alcohol, "Your Majesties!

There are many fires and smoke rising in many places of the city... "
