Chapter 72 Something is wrong

Zhao Xu raised his eyelids and looked at Liang Tao with a cold look, saying, "What if you want to temporarily serve as the Sansi envoy? How long will it take?"

Liang Tao was shocked and couldn't help looking up at Zhao Xu. When he met Zhao Xu's gaze, he felt a little cold, and he had difficulty breathing. After a moment, he suddenly had a passionate head and gritted his teeth and said, "If it were a Wei minister, with the cooperation of the Political Affairs Hall, ten days!"

Zhao Xu snorted coldly and said, "Five days! You raise one million guan for me and send it to me first. I will send the Palace Front Office to escort it in person!"

Liang Tao immediately exclaimed: "The official family is not too late for five days, let alone..."

Zhao Xu reached out and stopped him from speaking, and said in a serious manner: "Just five days. In five days, if you do it, you will be fine! If you can't do it, go and accompany Su Che!"

Liang Tao's mouth was dry and his tongue was dry. He recalled the scene of Su Che being taken away. His body suddenly became cold and trembled violently. He hurriedly said: "I obey the order!"

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Go."

Liang Tao's heart was occupied by fear at this moment, so he dared not say much. He raised his hand and responded quickly, turning around quickly, wiping the cold sweat on his head while walking.

Zhao Xu looked at Liang Tao coming out of the gate of Cining Hall, turned to Zhou He, and said, "I ask you, how many inner treasuries are in the palace?"

Zhou He kept listening to each other, understanding what Zhao Xu meant, but he didn't say anything.

Zhao Xu's eyes were cold and he said, "The key to the inner warehouse is with you?"

Zhou He couldn't stop it and said with a tough bullet: "The official family, the internal warehouse is not a private warehouse. If you want to use it, you need to follow the rules."

The treasury of the Song Dynasty was divided into two types, one was the treasury, which was managed by the Sansi Yamen; the other was the internal treasury, and the correct name was the "Pile Seal Deposit". This treasury was said to be the private treasury of the emperor, but most of it was also used for state affairs, and the royal family did not pay much. However, it was said to be the national treasury, and each expenditure was "lent" to the Sansi Yamen, which was difficult to define.

Since the emperor 'lent' to the court, there is naturally a set of rules.

Zhao Xu was too lazy to pay attention to these things and said directly: "Take the key, you don't have to worry about the rest."

Zhou He glanced at Empress Dowager Gao, who was still sleeping, lowered his head, and resisted for the first time: "The key is not in the hands of the villain."

Zhao Xu didn't care whether Zhou He was telling the truth or not, and snorted coldly, saying, "If you don't have a key, I will smash it open."

Zhou He shrank his head and didn't dare to say a word.

Zhao Xu said this, and he had planned so.

Sitting beside Empress Dowager Gao’s bed, he was still thinking freely.

After taking down Su Che, plundering the Chaozhou Bureau, and controlling the imperial guards in Kaifeng City, someone would probably turn to him soon.

‘I don’t know how Lu Dafang and others will rescue Su Zhe…’

Zhao Xu whispered in his heart, Su Che was one of the three major players. Whether it was Pinyi, prestige, power or reputation of Shilin, it should not be underestimated. What's more, in such an important position as the Sansi Yamen, Lu Dafang and others would not stop easily, and they would definitely find ways to rescue them!

There is no need to worry about Huanqing Road. After all, there is an inner treasury. Even if Liang Tao cannot raise it, he can still use the inner treasury to solve the urgent problem.

Just as Zhao Xu was thinking, there were suddenly a real noisy sound outside, with dense footsteps, cries, screams, and shouts.

Zhou Heting was cold all over, shrank his head, and did not dare to breathe.

Zhao Xu frowned and looked at him, and then ignored him.

At this moment, Tong Guan ordered the imperial guards to arrest people everywhere and run around in and out of various halls, so busy that they could not get along.

In Meng Meiren's yard.

A palace maid said tremblingly and fearfully: "Empress, please stop it quickly. Even if Tong Guan arrests the people outside, he dares to arrest the Empress in the yard and beats him to death. It's too much!"

Meiren Meng's face was a little stiff, but she smiled gently, "It's okay, there are some people in the palace who have ulterior motives. Eunuch Tong followed the will of the official family and was responsible and would not do anything randomly."

"Empress, he dares to come to you to catch people..."

Before the palace maid finished speaking, she was glared back by Meiren Meng, and quickly apologized and said, "I know my mistake."

Meiren Meng couldn't help but frown when she didn't say anything.

She had no idea about the situation outside, didn't know what was going on, and was a little worried.

On the other hand, Tong Guan came to vent Concubine Zhu in person and comfort her. Concubine Zhu knew that Zhao Xu was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief and urged Tong Guan to protect Zhao Xu well and not delay her.

Half an hour later, there were dozens of yellow gates standing in the square in front of the Qingbiao Hall, and the palace maids were trembling with fear on their faces.

There were vicious guards in front, behind and on the left and right, and the sword in their hands was filled with cold light. In addition, not far away from them, there were four or five corpses, who were killed by a stick just now!

Tong Guan stood in front of them, looked at the group of people with a cold expression and said, "Now, are there anyone else who wants to meet Eunuch Zhou and Empress Dowager?"

The crowd was silent, their bodies trembled violently, and they curled up together.

Those corpses still have warmth, and screams are still echoing. Who dares to say more?

Seeing that no one was talking, Tong Guan said lightly: "Listen. The new Yeting Order of the Yeting Bureau is Fang Qi."

A short and thin old man hurriedly stepped out and said, "Lord, thank you for your father-in-law Tong."

Tong Guan glanced at him and continued: "The Palace Bureau and the Palace Order, Guan Shu."

This is a very young, less than thirty-year-old in the inner prison, who is quite humble and arrogant and said, "Thank you."

Tong Guan nodded slightly to him and then said, "Xi Guanjue... Gong Hang."

"Thank you."

"The Inner Office..."

"Thank you."

...

Tong Guan reappointed the head of the Sixth Bureau of the Provincial Escort. In less than an hour, he basically stabilized the palace and was cleaning it quickly.

Zhao Xu was in charge of Cining Hall, taking care of Empress Dowager Gao while listening to the movements inside and outside the palace.

Late at night, Chenpi finally came back from outside the palace.

He was a little tired and excited. He glanced at Empress Dowager Gao, who was still sleeping, and whispered: "The official family is basically under control. He was killed by the guards who were disobedient and replaced by some people. I have ordered them strictly that no one should move without the official family's will."

Zhao Xu nodded, the Imperial City Department is a big weapon of killing and must be held tightly in his hand.

"By the way, what's going on outside the palace?" Zhao Xu asked.

Chenpi's expression suddenly became a little weird and said, "The official family is a little strange. It was originally very lively and was about to cause trouble. But after Liu Shi'an left the palace, there was no movement. No one was making trouble. The villain heard that many people were preparing to write a memorial, but then suddenly disappeared."

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "Really?"

Chenpi nodded and said, "The villain went to check it out, but there was no movement. Everything was as usual on the side of the Political Affairs Hall, and there was no special reaction."

Zhao Xu looked up at the direction of the Political Affairs Hall and took a secret breath.

He still underestimated the prime minister. He thought there would be a struggle within the "old party", but he didn't expect that not only did it, it would become even more "unified".

Zhao Xu was alert and glanced at Chenpi and said, "Isn't anyone giving you a gift?"

Chenpi looked slightly shocked and hurriedly said, "The villain dares not. If there is really, the villain will tell the official immediately."

Zhao Xu's face tensed, he waved his hand, and said, "That's not what he meant."

Of course he didn't mean that. He had already sealed all the three yamen. Su Che, one of the three ministers, was imprisoned, but no one took the initiative to come over. This was not right!
