An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 1186

"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."

"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... "
