Great Ye Empress

Chapter 320 Thunder
Many officials and common people and businessmen got the news and came in a hurry in the rain.

Some are counting on being able to help, some are watching the fun, watching the censors and the emperor confront each other, who can be better.

Even Ji Jingci's carriage was parked not far from the execution ground.

He pushed open the carriage window and looked towards the execution ground.

He saw that Xie Yunchu, who was slender and slender, dressed in a red official uniform, stood at the forefront of the censors.

She looks so thin and frail, she shouldn't be able to bear the heavy rain-drenched official uniform, but with her waist upright, she leads the officials of the Censor's Desk to stand upright in this heavy rain.

Ji Jingci felt distressed, but he did not stop Xie Yunchu.

He just ordered people to surround the execution platform with the censor platform, and spread the word...

He knew that regardless of whether Xie Yunchu could save Censor Niu this time, she would become a role model for Censor Tai... and even the Qing Dynasty.

Today, she will lead the officials of the Censor Tai, and lead the hundred officials of the Great Ye, and be the head of the hundred officials.

Therefore, Ji Jingci could not come forward no matter what.

He is well-known, and as long as he comes forward, others will add credit to him.

He fixedly stared at the slender figure in the rain, full of comfort in his heart.

Even before she knew she was Yun Chu, Ji Jingci expected Xie Yunchu to be the one who could fulfill his ambition.

And Yun Chu, indeed, did better than he expected!

The officials of the Censorship Station have been drenched by the rain.

The heavy official uniform was attached to the body, and people shivered with cold, but it was not cold to their blood.

Niu Yushi's son, supported Niu Yushi on the beheading pier, took off his soaked robe, propped up to protect his father from the rain, and waited with hope for the imperial decree of the emperor's forgiveness.

"Is it past noon?" Yu Qian's super-cold voice was trembling, "If the Seventh Highness is too late, let's make it past noon, there is still hope for Yushi Niu?"

Xie Yunchu's pale thin lips pursed tightly without saying a word.

Soon, Yechen appeared outside the execution ground, and he squeezed in front of the crowd and nodded to Xie Yunchu.

Xie Yunchu clenched his fists, and the seventh prince arrived with the students from the Imperial College.

Not long after, the eunuch Gao Tiande next to the emperor came quickly, and Master Su, the minister of Dali Temple, stood up: "It's Eunuch Gao!"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

In front of Gao Tiande, the guards of the forbidden army were fast horses, shouting loudly.

People or officials who were holding umbrellas and wearing scorpions who were blocked around the execution ground stepped aside one after another, and countless muddy water splashed from their horses' hooves...

Gao Tiande hurried into the execution ground and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty has an order to execute the execution immediately when noon arrives. Anyone who dares to block will be dealt with as treason! Kill without pardon!"

Gao Tiande's voice was like thunder, causing the onlookers and the officials of the Censor's Office on the torture platform to explode.

Xie Yunchu clenched his fists and opened his eyes wide...

Emperor, are you crazy? !

The officials of the Censor's Office almost came out to protect the Censor Niu, and kneeled in front of the student palace of the Imperial College and begged the emperor's forgiveness!

The emperor still disregarded the public opinion and insisted on killing the imperial censor!
"How can you do this, Your Majesty?!" Yu Qianchao trembled and shouted, "Yushi Niu is wronged!"

The third prince got up and said loudly: "Xie Yunchu, you have heard the imperial edict of the father! You haven't come down with the people from the Censor Terrace! Could it be that you have to bring the officials of the Censor Terrace to be disrespectful to a criminal. Send me to death?!"

Xie Yunchu clenched his fists tightly and refused to give an inch: "Eunuch Gao, please report back to Your Majesty, the lower official Xie Yunchu dare not ask Your Majesty to forgive Niu Yushi, but only ask Your Majesty to delay the execution and give Yushitai a person to clear his grievances for Niu Yushi. Opportunity!"

She held up the arms of Xie Yunwang and Li Yun beside her, and said in a sonorous voice, "As a courtier, I dare not be disrespectful to Your Majesty. We can only beg His Majesty with our lives!

"Advance and retreat in life and death!" Xie Yunwang responded, holding Xie Yunchu's arm tightly.

"Life and death advance and retreat together!"

In the heavy rain, the officials of the Censor Terrace held their arms one after another and used flesh and blood as a human wall to separate the death from the Censor Niu.

Eunuch Gao looked at Xie Yunchu in shock...

He has always thought that Xie Yunchu was a smart person, smart enough to be able to adjust the measure of getting along with the emperor, and also to adjust the emperor's preferences, to easily say in front of the emperor what others would not dare to say, and do things others would not dare to do!

But at this moment blatantly defying the imperial edict is really unwise.

"Lord Xiao Xie, Your Majesty loves you very much! Disobeying the Holy Order... Don't you want your future?"

In the heavy rain, Eunuch Gao shouted to the officials on the execution platform: "All the lords of the Censor Terrace, listen to the old slave's advice and go back! Your Majesty is the imperial decree and the emperor's order! All the lords are His Majesty's ministers, To obey the emperor's orders is to be loyal to His Majesty!"

"It is precisely because we are loyal to Your Majesty that today... we must not retreat!" Xie Yunchu said in a eloquent and strong voice, "Your Majesty did not kill the Imperial Censor today, but the officials of the DPRK and the central government for blunt remonstrance. ... the courage to seek justice for the people without fear of power, but the sincerity of officials who are honest and upright for the country and the people! It is the blood and ambition of scholars all over the world! It is the expectations of the people for the Great Ye court! How can you retire as a censor?!"

Xie Yunchu's remarks are shocking...

Let the eyes of Master Qing Su of Dali Temple heat up.

The Censor Niu, who was guarded by the officials, was already in tears, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on his face. He was grateful to Xie Yunchu, Yu Qianchao and other colleagues who came to protect him with their lives!

But he really couldn't implicate them and lose his life.

Yushi Niu leaned on his son with most of his body, the pain and cold made him tremble, but his heart was hot.

He raised his hand to wipe the rain and tears from his face, held his son's hand with difficulty and stood up, laughing frantically: "I, Niu Yinhui, have used the character of style and bone, and I have restrained myself with trembling for decades! Dare to slack off. Entering the official career, being an official, being a censor, knowing that there is no talent, I will strive to be honest and upright, not to be moved by fame and fortune, not to be eroded by glory and wealth, ask yourself... worthy of the world!"

"Today, Niu Yinhui will have no regrets in this life if he has colleagues who sacrifice their lives to protect each other!" Niu Yushi stood upright with difficulty and bowed to the officials standing in front of him. Today, I am going to die calmly, and I hope that the righteousness and the bones will remain long, not for the fame behind me, but only for the courage of the officials, to lead the right way for my colleagues, to build the bones for the courtiers, and to keep the breeze for the temple.”

Electricity tearing black clouds, thunder booming...

"father!"

Amid the exclamations of the eldest son of Yushi Niu, Yushi Niu fell to the ground with blood splashing in the majestic rain...

Xie Yunchu turned his head sharply and saw that Yushi Niu, who had hit the blade with his neck, had fallen heavily to the ground.
