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."
