Chapter 322 Loyalty

"Eunuch Gao..."

Xie Yunchu opened his mouth to call the person closest to the emperor and bowed to Eunuch Gao.

Eunuch Gao tightened the reins and looked at Xie Yunchu.

"Please trouble Eunuch Gao to report Niu Yushi's last words before his death to His Majesty. The ministers and others respectfully report to the Holy Majesty. The ministers and others dare not disobey His Majesty's imperial decree. However... as a minister of Daye, you should give up your life to be loyal to Daye. There are ministers in the court. Zhongliang died unjustly, the country is in danger, the ministers look forward to His Majesty, to preserve Zhongliang's dignity after death, and the ministers are determined to be loyal and dare to die for Daye!"

Xie Yunchu knelt down, his hands were knives.

When the officials of the Censorship Station saw Xie Yunchu kneeling, they all knelt down, even though they didn't know why...

Xie Yunchu held the knife and shouted: "If Your Majesty insists on beheading Zhongliang's head, Xie Yunchu is a minister and cannot disobey the emperor's order. He can only kneel and submit with his sword. Please kill me, and use my blood to test my heart!"

Yu Qianchao and Li Yun looked at each other, and the two were caught off guard.

Unexpectedly, Yu Qianchao and Li Yun were just like Xie Yunchu, knelt down with their hands holding the knife above their heads, and said in unison.

"Please kill me, Your Majesty, and use my blood to test my heart!"

"Please kill me, Your Majesty, and use my blood to test my heart!"

Seeing this, Xie Yunwang also stretched out his hand to draw his saber. This time, the officers and soldiers took precautions and quickly stepped back two steps to protect their saber, leaving Xie Yunwang in vain.

Other Yushitai officials reached out to draw their knives, but they were all in vain, so they had to kneel down with their hands safe, and shouted in unison in the rain: "Please kill me, Your Majesty, let me learn from my blood!"

Eunuch Gao, who was riding on the high horse, looked at the officials of the Censor Tai who could not afford to kneel on the execution platform.

The censor's character, the civil servant's integrity...

Eunuch Gao sat down on the steed horse, and seemed to be shaken by the integrity of the officials of the Censor Terrace, kicking the horse's hooves back and forth.

Across the thunder and heavy rain, the vision was blurred, but the bright red official uniform on the execution platform was so clear.

I don't know if it was because the rain was too cold, or the shock that these censors brought to Eunuch Gao was too great. He only felt a layer of goose bumps on his arms.

"Don't worry, Sir Xiao Xie, the slaves will definitely be brought to..."

After speaking, Eunuch Gao quickly left.

The third prince also gritted his teeth, looking at Xie Yunchu on the execution platform, he couldn't help sneering in his heart...

What did Xie Yunchu say to the same father, saying that he used his life to guard the integrity of civil servants? !

Said he was not afraid of life and death... sacrificed his life for righteousness? !

Looking outside the execution ground, the common people and scholars who came to watch the excitement or see him off, the third prince understood...it was not him, the third prince, but Xie Yunchu, the temporary censor Zhongcheng, who won the hearts of the people today.

Literati students are the most pedantic, Xie Yunchu's remarks must be appreciated by those scholars...

The hand he hid behind his back slowly tightened, thankfully... This Xie Yunchu was not born in the royal family, not his younger brother.

Otherwise... he might have to kill Xie Yunchu early!

It's just that the Xie Clan of Chen County is stronger than he imagined, his hand is longer, and his power has already extended to places he can't see...

Xie Yunchu can't kill yet.

On the eighth day of July in the 16th year of Yuanfeng, the emperor ordered that Yushi Zhongcheng Niu Yinhui be beheaded. The officials protected each other with their lives, and the whole body of Niu Yinhui was protected. The emperor was furious, and all the censors were imprisoned, pending sentencing.

Xie Yunchu, Xie Yunwang and Yu Qianchao were all detained in Dali Temple Prison.

Outside the Dali Temple Prison, the rainstorm has not stopped, and the dimly lit, damp and moldy Dali Temple Prison has become increasingly gloomy.

The drenched censors and the chief clerks were trapped tightly, held by the guards, and entered the prison.

Wherever I walk, it's all water...

Li Shaoqing, who was also soaked, followed Xie Yunchu's side, and said as he walked, "I have been in the palace. Originally, His Majesty heard that the officials of the Censor's Office had ordered the Censor to protect the cow, and the students of the Imperial College were begging in front of the palace gate in the rain. They were about to let go, but the students of Guozijian suddenly clashed with the people from the Imperial City Division. The students were young and enthusiastic, and they called Your Majesty for being stupid, killing loyal ministers in vain, and His Majesty was furious... The students of Guozijian were imprisoned, and even the Seventh Prince was imprisoned! But fortunately... in the end, the whole body of Censor Niu was saved."

Xie Yunchu pursed his lips tightly, tightening the hands tied behind him.

Xie Yunchu had told the Seventh Prince to suppress the emotions of the Guozijian students. The Seventh Prince’s humble minister could only ask for a delay before beheading.

And you must remember that you must never tell the students that it was the emperor's fault to kill the imperial censor. It can only be said that there was a traitor who blinded His Majesty's eyes.

Although the seventh prince is young, he is still a prince, and he still has some majesty, and he will not be unable to suppress the students of the Imperial College.

The students clashed with the Imperial City Division, calling the emperor incompetent, which was probably Xiao Zhiyan's handwriting.

Xiao Zhiyan wanted Censor Niu to die because only when Censor Niu died would the courtiers of the Qing Dynasty hold grudges against the Third Prince.

Then... Among the princes of His Majesty's adulthood, he occupies the first direct line, and is naturally the best candidate for the throne.

Xie Yunchu closed his sore eyes, gritted his teeth and walked into the cell with Li Shaoqing without saying a word.

The time was short, and it was because she failed to arrange all this matter thoroughly, which made Xiao Zhiyan take advantage of the loopholes.

Let... Niu Yushi die with hatred!

"His Royal Highness is also imprisoned here?" Xie Yunchu said in a hoarse voice.

Li Shaoqing nodded and gestured with Xie Yunchu with his eyes that the fifth prince was in the cell in front of him.

When Xie Yunchu passed by the cell, his steps slowed down, and he looked sideways into the cell...

I saw Xiao Wulang, who was naked and bloody, lying on the bed made of wooden boards, and A-Xia was carefully giving him medicine.

His originally bright and handsome face was so bloodless that he didn't even know whether it was life or death from a distance.

Hearing the footsteps, A-Xia looked up and saw Xie Yunchu, who was bound, looking at Xiao Wulang for a moment, and quickly got up and saluted Xie Yunchu.

Xie Yun didn't even look at A-Xia at first, and entered the next cell with the people from the Censor Terrace.

Li Shaoqing admired the courage and character of the censors and the chief clerk of the Censor Terrace, and bowed to them with a long bow: "If you have any needs, feel free to speak... As long as it is within the authority of Mr. Li, Mr. Li will definitely help!"

"Li Shaoqing!" Xie Yunwang hurriedly stood up and saluted, "You know that Liu Lang has always been in bad shape! It is cold and damp in the prison, can you trouble Li Shaoqing... find a clean dress for Liu Lang? Otherwise, I am afraid that Liu Lang will not be able to hold on. !"

"Okay! I'll make arrangements!" Li Shaoqing said and comforted, "Although Your Majesty has locked you all up temporarily, the Censor's Desk can't be empty anymore. Lord Su has already entered the palace to ask for an order, so I think you will be able to go out soon. , don't worry too much!"
