In the palace, eunuchs are set up in the residences of the emperor, queen, concubines, princes, and princesses, as well as teahouses, dining rooms, pharmacies, etc., so if Yan Jinxuan wants to understand their affairs without seeing their faces clearly, he must first start to understand them from the ministry they serve.

Seeing Yan Jinxuan asking himself with a stern face, the doorman replied with a trembling voice: "Lord Hui, the slave has just arrived, and he is not yet fully familiar with the personnel in the palace, so he still can't recognize them, I hope your lord will forgive me!" ”

Yan Jinxuan looked at the doorman again and found that it was also an unfamiliar face, so he asked, "What about the two doormen before?" ”

"Lord Hui, the slave doesn't know, the slave was only recruited the day before yesterday." The doorman replied.

Yan Jinxuan stared at him for a while.

The doorman didn't dare to look at Yan Jinxuan, and said cautiously: "My lord, the little one can't talk to you much during the duty period, please forgive me!" With that, he hurriedly stood back to where he had been standing.

Yan Jinxuan turned around and left.

When he walked less than two meters away, Yan Jinxuan looked back again and saw that the doorman had been staring at his back.

Yan Jinxuan's brows furrowed, and his steps unconsciously sped up.

After getting into the carriage, Yan Jinxuan carefully recalled the voice he had heard when he was at the gate of the palace.

Although the man deliberately made the sound seem to come from his nose, Yan Jinxuan still heard a somewhat familiar feeling.

Although Yan Jinxuan didn't see the person's face clearly, the person's figure and voice combined were enough to make Yan Jinxuan think of a person.

Besides, what the man had just said seemed to be planning something important.

Obviously, that man would not be an ordinary eunuch.

If this eunuch is the person he thinks of, the problem will be strict.

Yan Jinxuan thought secretly for a while, and finally decided to find someone to inquire.

Yan Jinxuan called Feng Zixi to him and ordered softly: "Immediately help me send a message to Duke Du and Duke Zhong (the two fathers-in-law that Yan Jinxuan has planted in the palace), so that they can try to get the list of new eunuchs in the palace from August last year to the present, and at the same time understand their department clearly." ”

Feng Zixi immediately complied.

Yan Jinxuan returned to the yamen.

Since Yan Jinxuan's expedition, the big and small affairs of the Ministry of Industry have been followed up by Zhou Junpu, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry.

Zhou Junpu is the father-in-law of the third prince.

Perhaps affected by the fact that the third prince was grounded for half a year, Zhou Junpu's love today looks a little low.

Seeing Yan Jinxuan coming in, Zhou Junpu hurriedly followed Yan Jinxuan's office.

"My lord, can you say a few kind words in front of the emperor about the third prince?" Zhou Junpu asked.

Yan Jinxuan knew that the implication of his words was that he was worried that the situation in the court and the central government would change greatly during the six months that the three princes were grounded. looked at him and said, "From the emperor's point of view, being grounded for half a year is a very light punishment. As for the current situation, there are many capable ministers in the DPRK and China who are watching closely, so you should not worry too much. ”

Zhou Junpu had to nod. reported a few more things to Yan Jinxuan, and then withdrew.

In the evening, Feng Zixi, who was sent to carry out the mission, rushed back.

"Gonggong Du and Gonggong Zhong went to check, this is the information found." Feng Zixi said as he handed a small paper crane to Yan Jinxuan.

Yan Jinxuan hurriedly dismantled it.

The two fathers-in-law said in this piece of paper: My lord, since August last year, a total of 19 fathers-in-law have been recruited in the palace. The names are...... The assigned departments are: one each from Deng Guifei and Lan Guifei, two from Princess Deyun, four each from the tea room and dining room, three from the pharmacy, and two each from the sixth and eighth princes. ”

Yan Jinxuan looked at the paper and pondered.

Nineteen new fathers-in-law were recruited in half a year, which is a very rare thing.

It stands to reason that the father-in-law in the palace can generally work in the palace until retirement as long as he does not do anything wrong and does not offend the master, so the father-in-law in the palace is rarely replaced without any serious accidents.

Moreover, there have been no new concubines, princes and princesses in the palace recently, so there is no reason to add a father-in-law.

Could it be that something has happened in the palace in the past six months? Yan Jinxuan said secretly.

But if it's something important, he won't be unaware.

So, what is the reason why so many new fathers-in-law have been added to the palace in half a year?

Yan Jinxuan fixed his gaze on the parts where these fathers-in-law were distributed, pondering carefully.

After pondering for a while, Yan Jinxuan's heart had some eyebrows, and he said to Feng Zixi: "You immediately inform Dugong Du and Gonggong Zhong, and let them keep an eye on these nineteen fathers-in-law. Another: Let them know how many princesses in the palace have resigned in the past six months. They resigned from which department. ”

Feng Zixi hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

When Yan Jinxuan returned home, it was already evening.

Su Shanyun was holding Brother Liang in front of the corridor to watch the snow.

The plum tree in the center of the garden is in bloom, and the tree is full of bright red plum blossoms, and when the breeze blows, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes to your nose, and you can't help but feel refreshed.

Brother Liang didn't know how to distinguish colors at this time, but he was very interested in flowers, so he looked at the plum blossoms of that tree fixedly.

"Brother Liang likes plum blossoms very much?" Su Shanyun asked softly.

Brother Liang pointed to the plum blossom tree with his finger.

"Okay, my mother will take you to see the plum blossoms." Su Shanyun said with a smile, holding the hem of her skirt in one hand and holding him in the other, and walked towards the plum tree.

When he arrived at the plum tree, Su Shanyun reached out and picked a plum blossom for Brother Liang.

Brother Liang picked it up and looked at it. Then he put it in his mouth.

"This can't be eaten raw, baby." Su Shanyun hurriedly said, stretching out his hand to stop it.

But Brother Liang pinched the plum blossom tightly, and Su Shanyun couldn't get it.

Su Shanyun knew that he was now in a period with excellent grasping ability. It was not easy to remove something from his hands, so he tried to divert his attention.

After he diverted his attention, Su Shanyun hurriedly took the plum blossom away from his little hand, and said to Mama Song, who came with him, "It's a little cold outside, let's go back." ”

The two of them walked to the verandah, and saw Yan Jinxuan coming back from the lower office.

"Daddy...... Dad," Brother Liang shouted happily towards Yan Jinxuan.

Yan Jinxuan immediately stepped forward to hug him, looked at him and asked, "Are you good at home?" Did you listen to your mother's words? ”

Brother Liang vaguely understood Yan Jinxuan's words, so he reached out and touched Su Shanyun's face.

"Is this what it means to hurt my mother?" Yan Jinxuan asked again.

Brother Liang smiled at Yan Jinxuan.

"He's very well-behaved sometimes. Sometimes it's naughty, but now that you're back, he doesn't dare to be naughty at all. Mama Song took over with a smile.

Yan Jinxuan looked at Brother Liang and said solemnly: "It doesn't matter if you are naughty, but you must not listen to your mother's words." ”

Brother Liang saw that Yan Jinxuan suddenly changed to such a strict expression, and knew that he was criticizing himself, and he was a little panicked, but he didn't dare to cry, and looked at Su Shanyun with blank eyes.

Su Shanyun kissed his little face and said, "Daddy is reasoning with you, not scolding you." ”

Brother Liang relieved his heart at this time, and called 'mother' to Su Shanyun in a milky voice. (To be continued.) )
