Chapter 344 Waiting

"Long Linwei is His Majesty's personal guard, and it is his duty to protect His Majesty's family."

This is Yang Jian's statement, and it is also his ultimate attitude, everything is subject to His Majesty, and has nothing to do with the government.

"Okay, then I won't be polite to Yang Gong."

Su Yao transferred five hundred people from Long Linwei, which made Liu Hua slightly surprised.

Although Long Linwei has a large number of people, it is all over the country, and a large number of people have been withdrawn to go to Chaoge, and the news in the capital must be kept unimpeded.

According to her original estimate, she could give herself a maximum of two hundred people, and it seemed that everyone underestimated Long Linwei's weight in the capital.

"Eldest princess, what to do is up to orders."

Su Yao's eyes were sharp and his temperament was capable, and the thin and changeable thief many years ago had already become the commander of Long Linwei.

"I once heard my father say that when Zhao Jie rebelled, you participated in the excavation of the secret passage."

Not many people know about this matter, and the eldest princess has always been very favored by Liu Zhi, so it is not surprising that she knows some confidential things.

"Yes, the minister did participate in some of it."

There is nothing to hide about this matter, and Su Yao readily admits it.

"My father once taught me a route from Deyang Hall to Yong'an Palace, but under the current situation, I don't want to alarm the concubines in the North Palace.

So I hope to find a route in and out of Nangong, I wonder if Commander Su can help me? ”

Liu Hua asked, in fact, he knew that what Su Yao participated in back then was a secret passage that could enter the Zhongde Palace.

But she wasn't sure if Su Yao would say it, after all, the excuse that Yang Jian sent was to protect the ladies in the palace, and now almost all the concubines lived in the North Palace.

Nangong is the political center of the Han Dynasty, and the Zhongde Hall is the place where His Majesty specializes in dealing with court affairs, and its importance is self-evident, almost symbolizing the peak of power of the entire Han Dynasty.

If Su Yao agrees to help her, it is also equivalent to directly participating in political events.

However, Su Yao did not hesitate and directly said the answer.

"Back then, I swore to Your Majesty that I would never tell this secret until I had to."

He raised his head and looked at Liu Hua calmly, "I think that now is the last resort." ”

"Very good, then we will find a way to enter the Zhongde Hall now, and then further control the Chongde Hall and other places."

Nangong concentrated most of the important government institutions of the Han Dynasty, such as the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial History Academy, the Secretary Province, the Zhongshu Province, and the offices of the Eight Books of Shangshu.

Concubine Geng De did not have any authority to command these people, and the only thing she could do at the moment was to order the palace gate to be closed.

So if you want to break her blockade without being willing to use brute force, the secret passage is the best way.

However, what Liu Hua didn't expect was that the exit of the secret passage was actually in the medical school, and it belonged to the Taiwei Mansion when the secret passage was excavated.

And the old Taiwei Huang Qiong was later forced by Liu Zhi to return to his hometown, and the situation in the Taiwei Mansion at that time was very complicated, so almost no one thought that His Majesty would set the secret passage exit here.

Entering from the secret passage, the air inside is circulating, and there is no smell of mold at all, which shows that there has been a special person to manage it all these years.

The secret passage did not lead directly to the Zhongde Hall, but entered an inconspicuous side hall, and after two or three transfers, finally came to the study of the Zhongde Palace.

Liu Hua suddenly had a number in his heart, it seems that this secret passage actually extends in all directions, and you can go anywhere in the palace, the key depends on how to transfer.

Su Yao was able to enter such a confidential place as the study room of the Zhongde Palace, which showed that he had gained His Majesty's complete trust.

Suddenly seeing the eldest princess appear, the guards of the Zhongde Hall finally found the backbone.

Liu Hua is a special existence in the Han court, even if the queen enters and leaves the Zhongde Palace, she must be notified in advance.

But as the eldest princess, she has the right to enter and leave the study of the Zhongde Hall at any time.

Almost everyone has a common understanding that if the eldest princess Liu Hua is a prince, then she is the crown prince.

It's a pity that she's a daughter......

Liu Hua quickly gathered his manpower and began to control the palaces such as Chongde Hall and Lantai Palace, and sure enough, Concubine Geng De only guarded the palace gate and did not take over these places.

In less than half a day, the entire Nangong was already under her control, but Liu Hua did not immediately command the storming of the palace gate.

Instead, let the palace guards guard their respective courtyards and wait for the situation outside to develop.

Concubine Geng De has already gotten the news of all this, but she has no reaction, everything she can do for her son has been done, as for whether it can succeed, leave it to Providence.

At least, she herself is not optimistic about her son's actions.

What's more, the success or failure of this matter does not lie in the palace dispute, everyone is waiting for the next change in the situation.

Winter nights are cold and long, but no matter how long the nights are, they will eventually pass, and when the sky is dawn, the cloudy sky will show a hint of red.

Dou Yun opened his eyes, but on his old face, his eyes were extremely clear, and he began to make preparations in an orderly manner.

Meticulously washed, ate breakfast, moved his limbs for a while, and finally carefully rubbed his ten fingers with lubricating oil.

As a physician, it is important to have flexible fingers.

As a result, his hands were slender and clean, at least twenty years younger than his battered face, the result of long and careful maintenance.

Zhang Zhi, as the main assistant, helped him change his surgical gown and carefully disinfected him, and the two did not say a word, but they had such a tacit understanding.

Liu Zhi had already been wheeled into the prepared operating room, and a charcoal fire was burned outside the wall, carefully controlling the temperature to a comfortable level that was neither hot nor cold.

There were biogas lamps lit in all four corners, and a large lamp hung in the middle, and the whole room had been poisoned last night, and there was a faint smell of potions.

Except for the four physicians who were assistants, no one else was allowed to enter, and even the Empress was turned away.

Although the operation was made by Deng Meng, the tension in her heart was still the same, and the doctor had informed him in advance.

If the operation fails, then His Majesty will not be able to get off the operating table alive, which means that she will not even see her for the last time.

At this moment, she, who had never believed in Buddhism or Taoism, closed her eyes and began to pray silently for her husband.

She really didn't know what else she could do.

Moreover, if she was left to wait and do nothing, she was worried that she would lose control.

The two princes also quietly accompanied her, although they were only eleven years old, the royal children were precocious, and naturally knew what it meant for their father's accident.

Adjusted his breathing to make himself in the best condition, and Dou Yun, who was fully armed and only showed his eyes, stretched out his hand.

Zhang Zhi immediately handed over an extremely sharp scalpel, and as soon as he held the handle, the familiar feeling immediately returned.

His hands were as steady as Mount Tai, without the slightest trembling.

Liu Zhi was lying prone on the operating table, his hair had been shaved, revealing his blue scalp.

Zhang Zhi had already drawn a mark on the hard lump part, and Dou Yun estimated the location slightly, how to cut it so that the wound could be minimized and the bruise could be cleared smoothly.

Then he made a virtual gesture in the air, determined the position of the knife, and slashed it without hurrying.

The sharp blade cut the scalp in an instant, but his strength was very skillfully controlled, only cutting the scalp layer, and did not hurt the muscles and bones inside at all.

In the back of his head, a purple-black blood clot was visible, but the real test was coming.

This piece of blood obviously pressed on the brain stem, so Liu Zhi was in a deep coma and had difficulty breathing, even with modern cutting-edge technology, it was very difficult to remove the blood clot without damaging the brain stem.

Several assistants almost held their breath, for fear of disturbing Dou Yun.

Due to Liu Zhi's advocacy, the teaching and research of the Han medical community has long been popular in autopsy, but they are generally death row prisoners.

So they're no strangers to the structure of the human brain.

Dou Yun didn't even move the corners of his eyes, as if he had entered an empty realm, and he only had this blood clot in his eyes.

Quickly flash several removal options in your mind, and use the fastest speed to eliminate the selection to see which one is the most suitable method.

It seems like a long process, but in fact it is only a few minutes, and the open brain cannot be exposed to the air for a long time.

Soon, Dou Yun chose one of the plans, but this plan was not foolproof, he tried his best not to harm the brain stem, but had to choose to damage the adjacent cerebellum to a certain extent.

In other words, if the operation is successful, even if Liu Zhi saves his life, the cerebellum will be damaged to a certain extent.

But no one knows how heavy this damage is and to what extent it will be affected.

For Dou Yun, his biggest goal of this operation is to save Liu Zhi's life, and when he can't have the best of both worlds, he can only choose the least harmful plan.

I have to say that Liu Zhi's choice to let Dou Yun treat when he was critically ill was the most correct thing, and if he was replaced by any other doctor, even if his medical skills were better, he did not have his decisiveness and courage.

The cold blade continued, as light as a dance on the fingertips, Dou Yun's mind simulated a picture, and his fingers moved in the back of Liu Zhi's head according to the instructions of the picture.

In just five minutes, the blood clot had been successfully removed, and there was no trace of it.

Dou Yun took a deep breath, took a step back, and left the operating table to a few assistants,

The next step is to stop the bleeding, disinfection and sutures, these are the top doctors of Dahan, who have done countless surgeries and have great experience.

But whether the operation was successful or not, no one knows at this moment, and they can only do their best to maintain the normal procedure without a single mistake.

Infusion, blood transfusion, and disinfection again, Liu Zhi's blood pressure has been dropping, and his breathing is getting weaker and weaker.

There was no anesthesia for this operation, and it was concluded that Liu Zhi would not wake up halfway, and he came to the brain under deep anesthesia, which would cause too much damage to the brain.

Now the operation has been completed, but whether Liu Zhi can survive is not sure to everyone, and all that can be done is to wait.

At least he didn't have a cardiac arrest, and dying directly on the operating table was already a victory.

But everything is still too early, in the next two days, will Liu Zhi's condition deteriorate, will he have respiratory failure, and his heart will stop......

Dou Yun, who was exhausted, fell ill immediately after the operation was completed, and at his age, it was really not enough to support such a high-intensity operation.

The remaining doctors and other imperial doctors took turns to wait in front of the bed, monitoring Liu Zhi's situation at all times.

Deng Meng also waited sleeplessly outside the house, and the waiting process was so long and painful......

In the early morning of that day, 1,500 soldiers of Henan Yin, after a night march, appeared on the outskirts of the capital.

Farther away, the soldiers of Hedong County were also on the way, and the soldiers of Hexi County had just received an order and were assembling.

After receiving the news, the corners of Du Mi's mouth finally showed a smile, and Liu Wei, who was already so anxious that the six gods had no master, were also overjoyed.

"Father Zhong, we will enter Miyagi immediately and announce our accession to the throne immediately."

Now, Du Mi already has 3,500 troops in his hands, plus the guards of the Qinghe Palace's palace and some temporarily armed servants, there are more than 4,000 people.

The soldiers of Hedong County have not yet arrived, but they have already formed a deterrent to the capital, and this is enough.

Glancing at Liu Wei, who was overjoyed and carried away, Du Mi sneered in his heart, no wonder His Majesty looked down on him, and it was indeed difficult to take on the big responsibility.

However, for him, a new emperor who is easy to control is needed, otherwise how can he be left in power.

Clearing his throat, Du Mi calmly gave the order, "Let's go!" ”

This time, they had plenty of troops, and there was no longer any hesitation.

However, the long street was empty, there was no Dou Wu, no Chen Fan, and no Yuan Tang......

They seemed to have disappeared suddenly, Liu Weizhi was complacent, and it seemed that these people also understood that he was the one who was destined to belong.

Du Mi frowned, such an unusual phenomenon made him feel a little uneasy, and his mind quickly thought, what went wrong?

All the way from Qinghe Wangfu to Pingcheng Gate, they were all unimpeded, and they didn't even see a single figure.

It was as if the huge Luoyang City had suddenly become an empty city, not only unoccupied, but also terrifyingly silent.

The gates of the city opened silently, and they entered in silence, and the gates of the palace were wide open, and the guards guarding the gates stood like statues.

At this point, it is useless to think more, no matter what happens, you can only see the trick.

All the way to the Chongde Palace, into the empty and empty grand hall, looking at the position at the end of the steps, Liu Wei still had a feeling of unreality.

"Dangdangdang......"

The bell rang on the corner tower and spread all over the city, which was the signal of the upper dynasty.

Countless ministers dressed in court clothes heard the signal and walked out of their homes and headed towards the Chongde Palace.

When they met each other in front of the main hall, they all cast tacit glances at each other, and they entered in the usual order.

Liu Wei didn't sit in a high position directly, he had already reached this point, and he didn't care about waiting a little longer.

Half an hour later, all the ministers were already in place, and Yuan Xuan and Yin Song, who were standing at the front, were all half-hanging their eyes, looking like an old god.

The ministers behind him, such as Hu Guang, Chen Fan, and Wang Lang, were also expressionless, as if they were usually in the court.

Du Mi looked at all this coldly......
