Just as Li Yuan was about to cross the threshold and return to the palace, he heard the reminder from his attendant and was stunned.
"Retired Emperor, do you still want to investigate Lin Yu?”
The guard reminded again.
Li Yuan turned around again and looked in the direction where Lin Dahai had disappeared. The corners of his mouth curled up as he was reluctant to give this order.
When the Great Tang was established, the palace lacked maids and eunuchs.
A large number of orphans were adopted as reserve palace maids and reserve eunuchs.
Back then, everything was a new team, so there was no time to make detailed personal information.
The only information he had was a name list!
One was a list of the guards who were in charge of carrying out the imperial edict at the homes of the officials who were sentenced to death.
It recorded the names of the officials who were sentenced to death, the surnames of their wives and concubines, the ages and names of their daughters, the names of their sons who were over three years old, and whether they were to be executed.
How many sons were there under the age of three? Which of them had been adopted by the general of the guards with the same surname?
Who was it that was adopted by the Imperial Attendant Supervisor as a reserve eunuch!
These names were like a simple family information. The home of each official who was sentenced to death was a small notebook.
Later on, these little notebooks were sealed by the Internal Affairs Department!
It was not difficult to find out their identities.
However, Li Yuan didn't dare to send people to the dossier office unless it was absolutely necessary.
If others knew that he was still worried and wanted to investigate, they would think that Li Yuan had issued the imperial edict to win the hearts of the people and that his motive was not pure.
Even though no emperor had ever made a decision with pure intentions.
However, the emperor's face was important. Some could be known by others, while others could not.
During the first investigation, fortunately, the wives and concubines were quite cooperative. They had all finished speaking and assisted in the investigation.
The answer was the same. Back then, his imperial edict had been absolutely carried out, and no fish had escaped the net.
There was only one person who could not be investigated!
It could also be said that if he did not touch the information in the dossier office, he would not be able to find out.
Because after his father died, his wife and concubines died as well. He had no siblings and no one to cooperate with him.
That person was Lin Yu!
That was why Li Yuan had asked about Lin Yu six times in different ways, but the answer was always ambiguous!
"Retired Emperor, Retired Emperor."
"Retired Emperor!"
The guard saw Li Yuan standing there in a daze and shouted loudly.
"I know. Let me think about it."
Should he investigate?
He kept asking himself this question.
For the sake of the Tang Empire, he had to investigate.
However, he knew Lin Dahai too well.
He was a good man who treated everyone well. Back in the Great Sui Dynasty, many people treated him well.
He was a person who would take revenge!
For a eunuch to do this, it was already worthy of admiration.
This was also the reason why Li Yuan trusted him, liked him, and admired him.
After finding out Lin Yu's true identity, as long as he did not disobey his imperial edict and did not cross his bottom line, everything was a small matter.
Everything was still the same!
His only friend was still here!
But what if?
What if Lin Dahai crossed his bottom line to repay his kindness?
What should he do?
That was his only friend!
Thinking about it, it was also laughable!
It was acceptable for an emperor to have his only friend, a eunuch.
"Investigate!"
Li Yuan finally gave the order.
In the end, friends were not as important as the country!
"Lin Yu, what if he is the son of the former minister of the Sui Dynasty?”The guard asked again.
"Take good care of him!"
The guard nodded and asked again,""He's the son of a former Sui minister. Eunuch Lin even used some tricks to let him escape from being cleansed.”
"Take good care of him!"
The guard was shocked. This was already defying the imperial edict.
He had defied the imperial edict, yet he still wanted to take care of him?
The guard looked at Li Yuan's dazed expression and was very touched. Lin Dahai had done so much as a eunuch. It was not bad for him to receive such preferential treatment from the Emperor.
"What if he is a descendant of the Sui Yang royal family?”
Li Yuan secretly bit his lips and said hoarsely,"As long as you're clean, it's fine. Take good care of me."?”
"Then, is he a descendant of the Sui Yang royal family?”
"You…"
Li Yuan hated the guard for being so insensible.
Why did he say this? Why did he have to remind him of this? Wasn't it better to let him go over in a daze?
If it was someone else, if it was the son of a minister of the previous dynasty who was not clean, it would be a great crime of lying to the emperor.
He would not hesitate to say, kill!
However, if it was Lin Dahai, he would still say that he would take good care of him!
However, if he was a descendant of the Sui Yang Imperial Family and had not been cleansed, then it would not do.
This was Lin Dahai's bottom line. There was no other way.
"Kill them!"
The guard nodded and cupped his hands.”
"I will sneak into the dossier office tomorrow night to investigate.”
"If he is the descendant of a former minister of the Sui Dynasty, it doesn't matter if he is chaste or not.”
"If he is a descendant of the Sui royal family, then check if he is chaste.”
"If he didn't have a clean body, he would have assassinated Lin Yu and Lin Dahai.”
When Li Yuan heard that, his eyes instantly widened. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Pa!
He slapped her.
"Do you want my life?"
"If that's the case, just assassinate Lin Yu and treat it as an accidental death.”
"We must not let Lin Dahai know that it was my order.”
"I can't lose my only friend in these remaining days.”
"Lin Dahai, don't touch him under any circumstances.”
"Moreover, you can't move!”
The guard covered his face and immediately nodded."Yes, yes, I misspoke."
Li Yuan ignored the guards and returned to the palace.
His personal guard looked at the two guards guarding the door and chuckled.
"Laugh, laugh my ass!"
"If Retired Emperor is so good to me, I can die without regrets.”
"Right, what do you think the Retired Emperor's last sentence meant?”
"It's just an old eunuch. I can't touch him?？？”
The two guards shook their heads. They didn't know why either.
Indeed, there was nothing good about an old eunuch who was so weak that he couldn't even touch a chicken.
On the way back to his room, Li Yuan remembered the Goose King Tournament!
Lin Dahai's big goose suddenly fell down. It fell down when a leaf floated on its body.
"The sea!"
"Your martial arts have improved again."
"It's said that once an expert makes a move, you'll know if there's anything.”
"You're an expert. No one will know if there's one!”
"I, your elder brother, will not touch you."
"You did it to repay a debt of gratitude."
"I treated you like this to repay your kindness.”
"If your godson dies in an accident one day, you have to be open-minded.”
"No matter what, you have to be one day behind me.”
Thinking of this, Li Yuan wiped his tears and returned to his room.
On the way, Lin Dahai suddenly stopped halfway.
He frowned and discovered a detail.
Every time she went to play with Li Yuan, she would receive and send him off. Why did he not send her off tonight?
There was only one answer. Li Yuan had to keep a certain distance from him for the time being.
He was going to investigate Lin Yu.
Sigh!
"Brother, are you not going to let this little fish go?”
Lin Dahai sighed deeply. His sharp eyes looked in the direction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs 'dossier office.
