Definition
上方宝剑
Literally means:
emperor's sword
Actually means:

Literally it refers to the emperor's sword. A legend has it that if a minister had the emperor's sword, he was entitled to the right to execute the crimina first and report to the emperor afterwards.
Now it means the order given by the leaders or the special right granted by the leading body.
指皇帝用的宝剑。相传大臣有了皇帝所给的上方宝剑，就有了先斩后奏的权力。
现比喻来自上级的指示，或上级给的特殊权力。
