Chapter 938 Really Calm
Chapter 938 Really Calm
In the gloomy and dark prison, the farther the torches went, the farther the torches were, the torches on both sides were dark, and there was a musty and dirty smell everywhere, and occasionally there was an extremely hollow sound of wind.
Seeing Qin Shangzhi still sitting under the lamp reading a book, the deposed prince looked at the flickering candlelight, and his eyes fell on the bright moonlight projected from the very small high window, worrying about his future.
Not long after, the abolished prince suddenly heard voices calling "Your Majesty" from outside. He stood up in shock and looked at Qin Shangzhi: "Did Bai Qingyan come?!"
Qin Shangzhi nodded, and said to the abolished prince: "Your Highness, don't be too nervous, just be neither humble nor overbearing."
The fists on the side of the deposed prince tightened. In order to survive... he could wag his tail and beg for mercy from the King of Liang. He was neither humble nor overbearing! As long as Bai Qingyan can keep him alive, he is willing to kneel down and kowtow to Bai Qingyan.
Qin Shangzhi stood beside the abolished prince. He knew that with Bai Qingyan's character, since the abolished prince had surrendered, she would not put the abolished prince to death at this time.
Holding the torches high, the imperial guards in armor trotted all the way to the prison gate of the abandoned prince and Qin Shangzhi and stopped. The light of the torches scurrying up and down made the abandoned prince subconsciously take a step back.
The waste prince first saw Xie Yuchang and Fu Ruoxi, and immediately felt his face burning.
Back then, in order to survive, he lost his dignity and kowtowed to King Liang in front of all the officials who were desperately protecting him. At that time... Xie Yuchang and Fu Ruoxi were also there.
The abandoned prince seemed to have returned to that day again, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to sneak in, lowering his eyes to avoid his sight, afraid of seeing the contemptuous expressions on the faces of Xie Yuchang and Fu Ruoxi, these humble people who once surrendered under his feet If someone in a high position despises him and sympathizes with him, he can't bear it.
Qin Shangzhi clenched his fists tightly, and saw Bai Qingyan in a black cloak walking slowly to the front of the prison, looking into the cell with a calm and indifferent expression.
The deposed prince's ears were hot, and he bowed to Bai Qingyan and saluted, his lips muttered, but he didn't say anything.
Probably... because the waste prince knows in his heart that Bai Qingyan is different from Liang Wang, and he is not a sinister villain like Liang Wang. She will not kill him if she has no thoughts.
The deposed prince closed his eyes in humiliation. Once...his subject Bai Qingyan was standing outside the prison door. It was not the first time he bowed to Bai Qingyan, but this time...he was a prisoner, and his status Taking a sharp turn, and changing positions with Bai Qingyan, his mood is still not really calm.
Xie Yu stood on the right side of Bai Qingyan, with his left hand holding the sword around his waist. From the corner of his eye, he saw his subordinate who seemed to have something to report, and looked anxiously at him. He glanced at Bai Qingyan and signaled Fu Ruoxi to protect Bai Qingyan. , raised his foot and walked towards the subordinate.
"What's wrong?" Xie Yuchang walked quickly to his subordinate and asked in a low voice.
"General, the five princes have moved..."
Xie Yuchang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, let go of the hand holding the saber and pulled the subordinate to the shadow where the fire could not shine, looked around and said: "Say..."
"According to the general's instructions, I sent a few people to pretend that His Majesty is a woman enthroned, and occasionally revealed something to the outside world. Sure enough, the White Water King came to make friends. I told my brothers to deal with it carefully. Just now... the White Water King gave the enthronement ceremony. Several centurions of the imperial guards guarding the hall sent a very considerable amount of gifts, asking them to place the people of King Baishui in the hall, and wanting to do something on the day of His Majesty's enthronement...It will be detrimental to His Majesty!"
Xie Yuchang's eyes darkened, and he was very cold and solemn: "Assassinate Your Majesty?"
The general of the Forbidden Army nodded: "It is said that the people who are arranged to enter are all masters, and they will do it only when His Majesty enters the hall! King Baishui also promised a high position to all brothers! King Baishui also said...he is a descendant of Jin Gaozu. It is justifiable to inherit the Datong, if the few loyal people who can ascend the throne are all generals."
Xie Yuchang held the hilt of the long sword again, rubbed his fingers, and said in a low voice: "Have you found out about Baishuiwang himself tomorrow, and what preparations will you make?"
"King Baishui didn't elaborate, but what my brothers mean is that King Baishui will be sick tomorrow and won't go to the grand ceremony. He will prepare the dress and crown for his enthronement in advance, and wait for His Majesty to die...he will appear in the dress and crown to enthron. The general of the forbidden army asked in a low voice, "Do you want to control Baishui Wang in advance?"
Xie Yuchang thought for a moment and shook his head: "We have to ask His Majesty what he means! You go first...wait for orders! Don't show your feet to King Baishui."
"Yes!" The Forbidden Army general cupped his fists and left quickly.
Inside the prison door, Qin Shangzhi was wearing a clean blue-gray straight gown, which was not pretentious. He lifted his hem and knelt down to Bai Qingyan and kowtowed: "I have seen the Great Zhou Empress."
"Qin Shangzhi...you are responsible for the construction of the Guanghe Canal. Now I am here to ask you...are you willing to continue to preside over the construction of the canal from the beginning to the end?" Bai Qing said with clear eyes and a calm voice.
Qin Shangzhi shook his fingers, raised his eyes and looked towards Bai Qingyan. The swaying bright torch reflected Bai Qingyan's delicate and beautiful facial features. His eyes were so deep and deep that no one could tell what Bai Qingyan was saying. any emotion.
The construction of the canal was proposed by Qin Shangzhi and presided over by Qin Shangzhi. He naturally wanted to complete it perfectly, but when he thought of abolishing the prince, Qin Shangzhi hesitated.
"You can think about it, if you don't want to take charge of the construction of the canal, I will spend some effort to invite the descendants of Mr. Sima Sheng, a master of water conservancy, back from Xiliang. You don't have to submit for the livelihood of the people..." Bai Qingyan finished. He looked at the deposed prince again, "Prince..."
Hearing Bai Qing's words to call him the prince, the abolished prince quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you should call Gu...call me King Qi! Since I have descended to the Great Zhou, I am no longer His Royal Highness, I just ask Your Majesty to look at you." Since I have no ambitions and am not a threat to Da Zhou, let me be the King of Qi just like Daliang's third prince... let's end my life like this!"
Xie Yuchang and Fu Ruoxi had long seen the deposed prince of the Jin Dynasty begging for mercy from the King of Liang. Now that the prince can speak these words calmly without being frightened, it is already beyond their expectation up.
Since the deposed prince does not need her to waste her words, she nodded and said: "If you think so, I will send someone to send your family of three to a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters in Daliang to take care of you for the rest of your life, but... you must not treat the Jin Dynasty Xiao Huangsun reveals his identity, otherwise he is afraid that it will bring the child a fatal disaster."
The waste prince suddenly raised his head when he heard this, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Bai Qingyan, saying...his child is still alive!
The deposed prince's eyes were sore from the dazzling flickering torch, and he thought it was just a dream.
I'm sorry, little ancestors, I coaxed the children to fall asleep... Today's update is late.
