Under the gaze of Zhao Xu and Zhou He, the imperial physician took his pulse with great caution and carefulness. It took him a while to breathe easily and wipe the cold sweat from his head.

He turned around and raised his hand to Zhao Xu and said, "The emperor, the emperor is just sick with overwork and angry, and then faints. He just takes a few medicines and rests well, and then he will be fine."

Zhao Xu looked at him and said, "Tell the truth!"

Zhou He's heart was thrilled, and with great caution, he stared at the imperial physician.

The imperial physician did not have as much thought as Zhou He, and said respectfully: "It is indeed not a problem, don't worry about the official."

Zhao Xu then breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly, and said, "Go."

If Empress Dowager Gao suddenly died of illness at this time, he would be unable to explain it even if he had a hundred mouths.

The imperial physician responded and went to write the prescription.

Zhao Xu looked at Empress Dowager Gao, who seemed to frown while fainting, and said calmly to Zhou He: "You are here to watch your grandmother. You have the final say on everything you use medicine, what medicine to use, what people decoct medicine, and who get close to you. If something happens to my grandmother, you will not be the only one who is buried with me."

Zhou He was shocked and hurriedly said, "Yes, the villain understands."

Zhao Xu sat down beside Empress Dowager Gao's bed, took a towel, and wiped the cold sweat from her head.

Putting aside the conflict of opposition and conflict, this person is not a villain, and Zhao Xu's series of actions do not mean to force her to death.

Zhou He felt relieved as he watched Zhao Xu's actions. He got the imperial physician's prescription and ordered people to pick up medicine and decoct the medicine.

After this period of time, things outside were fermenting, and many people clamored to go to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, asking Zhao Xu why he ordered the imperial guards in the palace to seal the Three Divisions' yamen and seize them.

In front of Xuande Gate, not only the imperial guards in the front office of the Palace, but also more than 20 officials of different sizes, who were constantly clamoring and pushing and shoving.

The Chief Censor Ma Yan and the Minister of Justice Huang Shan failed to follow Zhao Xu into the Cinning Hall. At this moment, he was waiting outside the Political Affairs Hall with an uneasy expression.

Qin Bing, a clan of the Secretariat, saw the imperial guards in the palace being transferred around, and Lu Dafang, Su Song and others entered the Cining Hall silently. He looked at the direction of Cining Hall, and looked anxious.

The officials have used the imperial guards in the palace to seize the three yamen. What will they do next?

What will the Empress Dowager react?

How will it develop in the future?

In the palace.

Beauty Meng and Concubine Zhu were not at peace. The guards outside the palace came and went, and the atmosphere was condensed, so they could feel strange no matter how they were.

Meiren Meng is quite special. She can hold it, sit upright, is not panic, and has no other movements.

Concubine Zhu was different. She walked around the hall with an uneasy look on her face. She almost wanted to catch people outside and ask.

Tong Guan stood beside her, thinking of Zhao Xu's explanation, and for how many times he spoke to comfort him, "Empress, there will be no trouble. The official family is the official family. Even if there is something, even the Empress Dowager cannot do anything to him easily."

Concubine Zhu frowned and looked at him, still feeling panic and uneasy.

No one knows better than her about Empress Dowager Gao's harshness. She has been scolded and punished a lot over the years, not to mention that Zhao Xu is just a child in her eyes.

...

Inside the Cining Hall.

Chu You stared at the inside and outside the palace. In less than half an hour, he couldn't hold on. He entered Empress Dowager Gao's bedroom. Seeing Zhao Xu feeding Empress Dowager Gao's medicine, he stepped forward quietly and whispered: "There are many people outside the palace who are asking for a visit, and the people from the front office of the Palace are also inside. Someone from the Political Affairs Hall has come. The Prime Minister Shu asked to see the Empress Dowager."

While feeding Empress Dowager Gao, Zhao Xu responded: "Don't care about the others for now, please come in."

Chu You didn't know what Zhao Xu had next plan, so he raised his hand and turned around and went out.

Zhao Xu picked up the towel and wiped the corner of Empress Dowager Gao's mouth. From the bottom of his eyes, he looked at Zhou He and said, "Where is my jade seal?"

Zhou He's face changed slightly, and he immediately lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhao Xu continued to feed the medicine to Empress Dowager Gao and said, "If you don't tell me, how difficult it is to find me?"

Zhou He still didn't speak, but his body was trembling slightly.

The most important power of the Empress Dowager's rule from behind the curtain is that the imperial edict not only requires Zhao Xu's emperor's jade seal, but also requires the empress dowager's seal to take effect.

If Zhao Xu takes away his jade seal, Empress Dowager Gao’s power will be greatly weakened!

When Zhao Xu saw that Zhou He didn't say anything, he was not in a hurry. He knew where the jade seal was. Since Zhou He didn't give it to him, he would take it himself!

As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, footsteps sounded at the side door of the side hall, and Lu Dafang and Su Song came one after another.

The two of them looked at Empress Dowager Gao lying on the bed at first sight.

Lu Dafang stared at him, his pace faster than before, until he approached, quietly looking at Empress Dowager Gao's face without saying a word.

Su Song was almost the same. Seeing that Empress Gao’s face was as pale as paper, she drank medicine less and had more to go out, and she couldn’t help but worry.

Zhao Xu was feeding and rubbing, and said in a casual tone: "Su Che has no courtesy of a minister, nor have the two ministers. It seems that it is not Su Che's problem, but you don't have the emperor as me in your court."

Su Song's face moved and he turned sideways to Zhao Xu and said, "Please forgive me for your crime."

Lu Dafang was still looking at Empress Dowager Gao, and after waiting for a while, he turned around slowly, raised his hand to Zhao Xu, and said in a hoarse voice than before: "I have seen the official family. I wonder how the Empress Dowager is?"

Zhao Xu said: "Zhou He."

Zhou He was shocked all over, suddenly woke up, and hurriedly said, "The Empress is fine, she is just overwork and has anger."

Zhou He said, but his eyes looked at Zhao Xu.

Now the Empress Dowager is in a coma and has no backbone. Who can compete with Zhao Xu inside and outside the palace? Not to mention taking back the jade seal, no one can stop him even if he does something else!

Seeing that the medicine in the bowl had almost finished feeding, Zhao Xu turned to Lu Dafang, Su Song, and said, "Did you hear it? I didn't take the opportunity to harm my grandmother, are you a little disappointed?"

Su Song felt Zhao Xu's attitude somewhat, and his face was still hard, and he said, "You must not be so joking like this. I am old and cannot accept it."

Zhao Xu looked at him, glanced at Lu Dafang again, and said lightly: "As old, don't think too much, let alone get too much trouble."

Su Song seemed to be unable to hear the meaning of Zhao Xu's words, and he lowered his head and said nothing. He still didn't dare to be careless, and was thinking about some thoughts in his heart.

After all, the Empress Dowager is over 60 years old, and not many people live long in this era. Sixty is already a long life.

If the Empress Dowager cannot wake up or live for long, what changes will happen to the court? How should we go?

Lu Dafang was silent and his brows frowned at some point.

Chu You came in from outside again, looked at Lu Dafang and the others, and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear: "The official family, the front office of the palace has some abnormal movements, Zhang Heng wants to break through."

Zhao Xu twisted the towel, wiped the sweat from his head, and said, "I have seen him just now. He doesn't have the courage. Is there anyone behind him who can't wait?"

Zhao Xu said, looking up at Su Song.

Su Song's expression tightened, and then he understood what Zhao Xu meant and said, "Don't worry, the official family, I am here, so they can't do anything randomly."

The Privy Council and the "Three Yas", namely the Palace Front Office, the Guards and the Guards and Infantry Office, divided the military power into two and restricted each other. The Privy Council was in charge of the command and command of the Three Departments, each taking responsibility.

To this day, all military operations require approval from the Privy Council, especially the mobilization of troops is more sensitive.

Even Empress Dowager Gao could only mobilize a small number of confidants in Tokyo with the acquiescence of the Privy Council.

Zhao Xu listened to Su Song's words, nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Transfer my order: Start immediately, Chen Pi will be promoted to the commander of the Palace Front Department. The three departments are waiting for investigation. The three departments will all respond to their authority and will be represented by Liang Tao, the Minister of Revenue."

Su Song leaned on a crutch, lowered his head, and didn't say anything.

The emperor's decree is not enough to be said casually. It requires the Secretariat to draft the decree and sign it; the minister will review it and sign it; then go to the palace to rewrite it, stamp it with the jade seal, and hand it over to the Secretariat to carry out the execution of the Secretariat.

If any link is stuck, this imperial edict cannot be issued!

Therefore, it is actually self-evident that Su Song did not speak. Zhao Xu's intention to issue this order not only requires him, the Privy Councilor, to nod, but also requires Lu Dafang, the magistrate, to arrange from top to bottom, and to unblock the order.

Lu Dafang stood in front of Empress Dowager Gao's bed, as if he had been waiting for Empress Dowager Gao to wake up, turning a deaf ear to Zhao Xu's words.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Xu snorted coldly and said directly: "The matter is urgent. I will issue an order to be temporarily appointed. Su Qing's family, do you have no objection?"

What can Su Song have any objections? It would be useless for him to object to this situation at the moment. Without looking at Lu Dafang, he said, "I have no objection."

So Zhao Xu looked at Chu You and said, "My jade seal is in the main hall. Call Chenpi back and let him do it. Also, Ma Yan and Huang Shan call me, and I ask them if they haven't found anything yet."

Su Song looked at Zhao Xu calmly, and he felt that the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice were about to fall into Zhao Xu's hands.

The imperial guards in the palace, the Imperial City Department, the Palace Front Department, the Minister of Revenue, the Censorate, and the Ministry of Justice who temporarily served as envoys of the Three Divisions.

Now, the emperor is not the only imperial guards in the palace!

Thinking of this, he looked at Empress Dowager Gao, who was still sleeping, and his expression calmed down, leaning on a crutch, thinking silently.
