Zhao Xu was alert when he thought about something wrong.

He underestimated Lu Dafang and the "old party" forces. They did not rely entirely on Empress Dowager Gao to establish themselves in the court and liquidate the "new party".

They themselves have extremely powerful forces, and even Empress Dowager Gao relies on them!

Zhao Xu thought of many things in his mind for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little scared and secretly called for luck.

If he hadn't been quick enough to catch them off guard, if he had a slight slack of slack in the past few days and gave them a chance to breathe, the current situation would have been completely reversed!

Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looked at Chenpi, and said, "You must be cautious and cautious in the Imperial City Department. The important things must be left to those who are absolutely trusted."

Tangerine peel is not a fool, and gradually came back to the taste and said in a solemn way: "The villain understands."

Zhao Xu took the teacup, took a sip of tea, suppressed the uneasiness that had just surged in his heart, and then said, "Spread more people to find out the situation outside the palace, especially Su Che's affairs. Select about 200 people to train for a while. In the future, he will be sealed and arrested. He cannot use the imperial guards, but he must rely on the Imperial City Department."

Chenpi said, "Yes. The villain went to do it overnight."

Zhao Xu raised his hand and said, "Don't be too hasty. Go and notify Chu You and let him be more careful. The Palace Front Office is not so easy to control. As long as you keep it steady for the time being, you can take it slowly in the future."

Tangerine peel responded.

Zhao Xu thought about it carefully for a while, and looked a little tired, saying, "The inside and the inside are tight and loose outside are loose. If you keep a stare at Tong Guan, don't be out of line."

"Yes." Chen Pi bowed and responded.

Zhao Xu pondered and couldn't help but yawn.

When Chenpi saw this, he hurriedly said, "Official family, I've been tired for a day. Do you want to take a nap? The villain looked at the Empress Dowager for you and woke you up if you have something to do."

Zhao Xu looked at Empress Dowager Gao, and saw that she had improved a lot, and said, "I don't have time to sleep. By the way, you can take someone to the inner treasury and smash the door. Take a good look."

Chenpi's eyes changed slightly and she whispered: "Official family, is it really smashed?"

The inner warehouse is quite sensitive. If Empress Dowager Gao wakes up, she will probably not stop easily.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Smash it, I'll explain when my grandmother wakes up."

Chenpi stopped talking, raised her hand and quickly turned around and left.

The palace that night was destined to be sleepless.

Meiren Meng, Concubine Zhu, and even the banned Concubine Wu Xian couldn't sleep at night. There were so many things happening in the palace, and anyone knew that something happened or something big happened!

They guessed some of it and could only wait silently.

At this time, the Ministry of Justice.

Huang Zheng, Ma Yan and Dali Temple Minister Qian Sheng sat around the table.

The three of them had different expressions. The official locked Su Che in the Ministry of Justice and the case file was also in the hands of the three.

Huang Shan, Minister of Justice, and Ma Yan, Chief Censor, were very cautious. How could such a big thing involve the Three Divisions?

However, Qian Sheng, the minister of Dali Temple, read these case files carefully from beginning to end, looked up at the two people opposite indifferently, and questioned dissatisfiedly: "What does this have to do with Su Xiang? At most, it is that the subordinates are not strict and they are out of duty. Why do you have to use the imperial guards in the palace to seal the three officials' yamen, and even put the plan in prison? Such a thing has never happened in my Song Dynasty! Where is the rules and regulations?"

Huang Shan and Ma Yan looked at each other, and Huang Shan said, "Not mentioning the deficit of the Sansi Yamen, just talking about the military pay on Huanqing Road 'disappearance', this is not a trivial matter."

Qian Sheng stared at him and said, "If you want to check the deficit, I don't believe that Jian Xiang will corruption these millions of trump cards. As for the loss of military pay on Huanqing Road, Jian Xiang is also a trump card from it. It's absurd, if you say it, who believes it!"

Huang Zheng was about to say something again, but Ma Yan suddenly kicked him under the table and shook his head slightly.

Huang Zheng frowned and looked at Qian Sheng and said, "What do you think you should do?"

Qian Sheng was in his early forties, looked stern, snorted coldly, and said, "Of course, it is the fact that the report is true. Could it be that we still have to be wronged and plotted against each other? Besides, the Three Offices are in charge of the world, and Huanqing Road is still waiting for military pay. Shouldn't we be unblocked and calm the world's long mouth?"

Huang Zheng opened his mouth and wanted to say it, glanced at Ma Yan who was silent, and had to say, "It's late. We'll meet Mr. Su tomorrow, so let's make plans."

Qian Sheng slapped the table and stood up, and said coldly: "If the Ministry of Justice plays any tricks and invites favor with him, my Dali Temple will never agree!"

After saying that, Qian Sheng left.

Huang Zheng looked ugly until Qian Sheng left, and then he said to Ma Yan: "Why are you stopping me? He is obviously talking lies with his eyes open! The military pay on Huanqing Road disappeared for millions of dollars. For such a big thing, he just said nothing lightly and it was gone?"

Ma Yan sighed and said, "Don't you see it yet? I'm afraid this is not Qian Siqing's idea, but the one behind him."

Huang Shan was naturally not stupid. He knew Qian Sheng’s background very well and said in confusion: “The prime minister was in the Political Affairs Hall, and he had no objection in front of the official.”

Ma Yan looked at him and said, "In the eyes of everyone, the evidence is conclusive. How can you object? If the priest speaks out, the officials will probably take him on the spot."

Huang Zheng had a headache and said, "What do you think you should do? Grandpa Su cannot be held for a long time, and even more so, the three officials' yamen cannot be sealed for a long time. Besides, the government is still staring at it."

Ma Yan looked up at the door, and said in a low voice: "Someone is more anxious than us, let's see what's happening there tomorrow."

Huang Shan listened, stretched his head and whispered: "To be honest, what should you do now?"

Huang Shan’s ‘what to do’ naturally refers to the case, but the changes that are taking place in the palace, their position!

Ma Yan is the chief censor. This is a special position. It is not recommended or appointed by the Political Affairs Hall. It is all based on the "high intention". Moreover, as long as there is enough reason, he can even argue directly with Lu Dafang, without being afraid, nor being controlled.

Ma Yan looked out and said, "That Han Qingtian probably can't sleep, so let's go find him."

Huang Shan knew that Ma Yan was close to Han Zongdao, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, and that Han Qingtian had a special status. Thinking of his embarrassing Minister of Justice, he could only frown and look worried.

At this time, Han Zongdao stood under the eaves of the backyard of Kaifeng Mansion, looking up at the clear night sky with a worried look.

I don’t know how many people envy him as the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture. He is the second-rank official and is known as the “Cutting Prime Minister”. There is no accident. It is almost inevitable to be a minister in the future.

Han Zongdao stared at the night sky, sighed for a long time, and said, "But now there is something unexpected..."

Cai Mansion.

Cai You looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and expressed his excitement, saying, "Sir, the Empress Dowager is seriously ill. Is the official's confidant taking over the front office of the Palace? Is it safe to take over?"

The middle-aged man was a little dazed at this moment. He had never expected that the young official in the palace would be so fierce, fast and neat, without any delay, and would capture the opportunity to the extreme.

Seeing the middle-aged man thinking, Cai You interrupted, "Sir, what do I want to do? Show your face in front of the official family. You can't miss this opportunity!"

The middle-aged man woke up, pondered slightly, and said, "You can't be careless now. Even if the official controls Kaifeng City, he still has two disadvantages, and success or failure is hard to say."

Cai You was stunned and said, "What's the disadvantage?"

The middle-aged man looked at him and said, "First, filial piety. As long as the Empress Dowager is in one day, he must be obedient. Second, the court bureau. The official has never been involved in the court bureau and has no power. Even if he is imprisoned, the prime minister is still there. The prime minister and the empress dowager are enough to hold the officialdom firmly."

Cai You frowned and said, "Compared to the past, the government has already mastered the military power of Kaifeng City. As long as we move forward steadily, it will be no problem to control the court, right?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Then you underestimate the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister too much. What was the result of the 'Royal Party' back then? The most important reason why the official family can get to where they are today is that they are unexpected. The Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister are not prepared. Once they react, the official family's situation is worrying."

Cai You was a little unwilling to accept it and asked back: "Why did the sir ask me to give those things to the official family before?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Because the official family has an unparalleled advantage."

Cai You wondered and said, "What are the advantages."

The middle-aged man didn't say it and said, "Let's wait."

Cai You stared at the middle-aged man in a daze, wondering the word "wait" and suddenly said in surprise: "Is my father back?"

Middle-aged people laugh without saying a word.

Cai You understood it, and then he thought independently about why his father asked him to give Zhao Xu those things, and Zhao Xu's incomparable advantages.

At this moment, the Su Mansion was brightly lit, with people coming and going, and there were constant debates.

Qin Guan, one of the four scholars of Su family, was frowning and writing quickly. It was not a defense report, but a letter to Su Shi, who had not arrived in Yangzhou yet!

The Su family was in chaos and people were in panic.

Some are unhappy, some are happy.

One of Wang Anshi's most important arms, Zhang Dun. Zhang Yuan, the son of Zhang Dun, was excited to pick up the pen and write a letter to Zhang Dun who was in Lingnan to tell him the good news.

There are a few words, which are particularly hard: the magnitude of changes in the palace, and the return of the adults is expected.
