Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 980

Some of them stood up, and some were still kneeling. Luo Qingyan looked at the excited faces and complicated expressions in their eyes. After a while, he said, "I've just ascended the throne, but now the state is suffering from internal strife and external strife. It's my fault. I promise that everyone will be fine this year."

Luo Qingyan paused for a while and continued, "The Empress has recently appealed to me for the people, hoping that I can reduce all the tax by half. I thought about it carefully. As the Empress said, since ancient times, heavy tax has always been like a mountain on the people. If this mountain is not removed, the people will never be relaxed. But if there is no tax and no money in the national treasury, we can't offer food to the soldiers who protect us. After weighing the pros and cons, I have made a promise today that I will cut the people's tax by half this year, without affecting the soldiers in the border at all. Within three years, all the people of the State of Xia will have enough food to eat and clothes to wear."

Yun Shang turned her head in surprise. She didn't remember that she had mentioned it to him. Why...

While she was thinking, all the people knelt down again. "Thank you! Long live Your Majesties!"

Yun Shang fell silent. She understood that Luo Qingyan was trying to help her build a good reputation among the people of the State of Xia.

Although she was the Empress, she was just a princess from a foreign country. If she had a good reputation in the hearts of the people, it would be good for her. Yun Shang's heart softened. Even though Luo Qingyan knew that she couldn't give birth to a baby for him anymore and that her only child had mental illness, he was still so good to her.

Luo Qingyan, who was standing next to her, continued, "The Empress also ordered thousands of doctors to go to every town all over the state and treat the poor people. All the poor people don't need to spend a penny on medical treatment. I will also summon more doctors to join them, and ask the local officials to cooperate them to make sure that all the people will not die because they have no money to see a doctor."

Looking at the people below, Yun Shang was deeply touched. This man always stood in front of her to protect her and also considered a lot for her.

"I think the so-called prosperity of a country is not because the National Treasury has money, but because the people have money in their hands. I'm willing to build a prosperous world for you and share the good life with you."

Luo Qingyan's voice was still calm and a little cold, but it made everyone's excited.

"Hail Your Majesty..." The shouts were deafening, but Yun Shang saw a silver light shining in the crowd below.

Luo Qingyan should also have seen it. He held Yun Shang's hand and said softly, "It's time to go."

Yun Shang nodded and went away with Luo Qingyan.

"Assassins?" Yun Shang asked softly after they entered the building.

Luo Qingyan nodded slightly and sneered, "Even if there is an assassin, he probably knows that it's not a good time to assassinate. The people are boiling with excitement by my words. If he takes action, he will provoke the thousands of people below. At that time, he won't be able to escape." Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan went down the tower and went back to the Palace. It was a peaceful journey.

After returning to Weiyang Palace, Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang changed their court clothes into casual clothes. Luo Qingyan said to Yun Shang, "I sent someone to invite Liu Yinfeng to the Palace. Now he is waiting in the Imperial Garden. You go and talk to him for a while. There is an emergency report from the border. I have to go to the Taiji Palace first. I will come to you after I finish dealing with it."

Yun Shang nodded slightly. Luo Qingyan put on his cloak and walked to the door. He suddenly stopped, as if he was hesitating. Finally, he turned around and said to Yun Shang, "By the way, last time, Liu Yinfeng complained to me that he didn't see... He didn't see Chengye for a long time. He is Chengye's sworn father after all. Take Chengye to see him later."

Yun Shang was surprised. She lowered her head and bit her lips. Then she agreed.

Luo Qingyan stared at Yun Shang for a long time before he left the inner hall.

Yun Shang stood in the room for a long time, and finally sighed slightly. She turned around and said to Qian Zhuo, "Ask the wet nurse to bring Chengye here."

Qian Zhuo answered in a hurry. After a short while, she came in with the wet nurse who was holding Bao'er in her arms. Bao'er was yawning. Then he turned around and saw Yun Shang.

Bao'er stared at Yun Shang for a long time, with doubts in his eyes, as if he could not recognize Yun Shang after more than 10 days' separation. After a while, he suddenly became excited and waved his hand, trying to struggle towards Yun Shang.

Tears welled up in Yun Shang's eyes. Bao'er looked so smart. How could he be mentally disabled?
