Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 254 Recognition
After dinner at Lin Mansion, Jia Qiang and Lin Daiyu returned to their home.

It was still early, so Lin Daiyu went to find her sisters again, while Jia Qiang came to the main hall.

"Seal this courtyard, I want to practice!" Jia Qiang issued the order.

Many powerful guards and powerful archers sealed off all parts of the courtyard. This kind of thing was already normal in Jiahou's mansion. Everyone knew that Jia Qiang wanted to practice and not allow outsiders to disturb him.

He took out the rosewood box and opened it.

Inside the box were a jade pendant, a bright yellow coat, and a letter.

Jia Qiang picked up the letter and opened it. The letter was written by Prince Yi Zhong himself, telling Jia Qiang's life experience, including Jia Qiang's birth date.

Prince Yi Zhong said in the letter that even if Jia Qiang reads this letter, he still hopes that Jia Qiang can be an ordinary person, not a prince.

The jade pendant was a personal belonging of Prince Yohitada. When he was in power, the jade pendant was able to mobilize the forces to which he belonged.

But Prince Yohitada has been dead for many years, so this jade pendant has only its symbolic meaning.

Jia Qiang looked at these three things, which could completely prove her life experience.

He looked at the three things quietly and thought for a long time before putting them all back into the red sandalwood box.

Jia Qiang put Jia Gong into the inventory and activated the teleportation function on the 'Close Boots'. The figure disappeared from the place and reappeared in the underground treasure house.

He released Jia Gong, and Jia Gong took out the stolen treasures and placed them according to categories.

There were a lot of things in Prince Zhongshun's mansion. After putting them away for a while, he realized that the underground treasure house was not enough.

You can only leave furniture and the like in the 'Qiankun Bag' and take out only those treasures.

Jia Qiang became interested when she took out the books from Prince Zhongshun's study.

He began to look at these books one by one. Many of the books in Prince Zhongshun's Mansion were unique.

He even discovered five general body refining techniques. Unfortunately, four of them were useless after he tried them. There was only one general body refining technique named 'Dagan Wushuang Hegemony'. The technique is effective and can be practiced.

This discovery was not easy. Since he took the divine fruit, he broke through the current shackles, but his strength has never been greatly improved. It is precisely because there is no general body-refining technique to practice.

After making this discovery, he felt that the harvest was worth it.

The treasures in Prince Zhongshun's Mansion are of extremely high quality, and many of the items are top-notch in Daqian.

The total amount of cash and banknotes found alone exceeds twelve million taels, not to mention those extremely precious treasures.

If the value of all these treasures is taken into account, the Jiahou Mansion does not include the hidden wealth, and the wealth on the surface is not as good as the wealth that comes from Prince Zhongshun's Mansion.

And these wealth are not all of Prince Zhongshun's Mansion. Prince Zhongshun's Mansion has been emptied out, but they still have various properties, the Imperial Mansion, and some channels for making money.

As long as these are present, wealth will continue to accumulate.

Jia Qiang was taking stock of this harvest. On the other side of the palace of Prince Zhongshun, Prince Zhongshun was in an extremely bad mood.

Prince Zhongshun was also taking stock, but he was taking stock of losses.

When he was exhausted and wanted to rest, he found that the big bed where he usually slept was gone.

Even when he wanted to sleep with his concubine, he encountered the same problem, there was no big bed.

The dignified Prince Zhongshun cannot sleep on the ground.

Prince Zhongshun was so angry that he left the Prince's Mansion that night and went to live in a separate courtyard.

When he went to court the next day, many officials looked at Jia Qiang with strange eyes.

They all knew that the house of the official who impeached Jia Qiang was stolen, plus the house of Prince Zhongshun was stolen, the houses of the four princes were stolen, and the houses of anyone who was an enemy of Jia Qiang were stolen.

This made the officials understand that this was the consequence of being an enemy of Jia Qiang.

But the problem is that there is no evidence. No one can really pin this kind of thing on Jia Qiang. Suspicion is suspicion, and it cannot be confirmed as long as there is no evidence.

Jia Qiang also felt the officials' alienation from him. He didn't care about this alienation. He didn't have many officials to make friends with.

However, what he did had some effects.

At least this time in court, no one impeached him again, including when he was in the cabinet, and there was no hint of impeachment against him.

"Master Jia, the Yushi Zhao who impeached you has a cold!" Master Tian said while taking a break.

"Master Tian, ​​why are you taking care of Zhao Yushi's cold?" Bachelor Deng teased with a smile.

Yes, a dignified first-rank official, a cabinet bachelor, is responsible for taking care of the fourth-rank censor's cold.

"Do you know how Zhao Yushi caught a cold?" Academician Tian shook his head and asked with a smile.

"Is there any other way to explain the cold?" Bachelor Deng couldn't help but become curious.

"Yu Shi Zhao caught a cold because he didn't have a quilt to cover him. The thief who stole Yu Shi Zhao's house was really powerful. He didn't even leave a piece of cloth for Yu Shi Zhao, leaving Zhao Yu Shi's family frozen all night!" University Scholar Tian He looked at Jia Qiang and explained with a smile.

"Tan Zhongtang, this matter has nothing to do with me, don't look at me like that!" Jia Qiang immediately denied it.

"Don't let the evidence be found, and neither Master Deng nor I can protect you!" Academician Tian shook his head and said.

He believed that Jia Qiang did this, regardless of whether there was evidence or not.

"You, you, if you do this kind of thing, it will be difficult for you to get promoted in the future!" Bachelor Deng said with some hatred.

Nowadays, officials from both the DPRK and China believe that this matter may seem helpless to Jia Qiang, but it will affect Jia Qiang's future.

In other words, if Jia Qiang wants to go further, the difficulty will be many times higher than before.

But Jia Qiang didn't care at this moment. After he knew his life experience, he knew that he could no longer improve through normal methods.

"Thank you to the two nuns for your warnings. I will correct them if necessary, and encourage them if not!" Jia Qiang knew that the two cabinet bachelors had good intentions, so she thanked them seriously.

After handling the affairs, Jia Qiang left the cabinet. He did not leave the palace immediately this time, but walked towards the Daming Palace.

His power in the palace is not small. The 'Pingkou Sword', 'Yu-Given Hand Beads', and 'Yu-Given Gold Medals' allow him to walk freely in the palace. As long as he does not go to forbidden areas such as the harem, he can go to other places. .

After passing the news, he walked into the Daming Palace.

In the Daming Palace, the Supreme Emperor was reading a book. When he saw Jia Qiang arriving, he smiled and motioned for him to sit down.

Jia Qiang bowed seriously and then sat down.

"After seeing you get married, I will wait for you to have children. You have to be more upbeat and let me see you as soon as possible!" The Supreme Emperor put down the book in his hand and said with a smile.

Jia Qiang looked at the Supreme Emperor with an inexplicable meaning in her eyes.

He slowly took out the red sandalwood box and placed it on the table in front of the Supreme Emperor.

That's him. If other people enter the Daming Palace, they cannot be allowed to bring unknown objects with them. This is his prerogative.

The Supreme Emperor stopped smiling and reached out to open the box. When he saw the jade pendant and the bright yellow coat, he knew what was going on without even reading the letter.

He picked up the letter anyway, and when he saw the familiar fonts on the paper, his hands couldn't help but tremble. "You know your life experience after all. In fact, when I saw you for the first time, I knew that you were the child of Prince Yohitada!" The Supreme Emperor sighed, put down the letter and said.

"The Holy One also knows?" Jia Qiang asked in a deep voice.

"He must have seen this scroll!" The Supreme Emperor took out the scroll from the cabinet on the side and explained.

Jia Qiang looked at the opened scroll. The person in the scroll looked very similar to herself. Coupled with the inscription next to it, anyone who had seen the scroll would doubt his relationship with Prince Yoshitaka in the painting.

"A young eunuch took advantage of my leaving the palace and took out this scroll to go to Jing Wen. I think you have also noticed that the trouble in the court in the past two days is all caused by this!" The Supreme Emperor shook his head and said.

Jia Qiang thought of the day when she got married, and the Emperor would go there in person. It should be that day.

"The troubles you encounter now can be solved by recognizing your ancestors and returning to the clan. However, in the future you will no longer be able to hold great power and can only be a wealthy prince!" the Supreme Emperor continued.

If Jia Qiang didn't know his life experience, he would continue to hide it, but when Jia Qiang knew his life experience, he had to comfort Jia Qiang.

He knew very well who Jia Qiang was.

If Jia Qiang and Emperor Jingwen were to face each other head-on, he was worried that Jia Qiang would kill Emperor Jingwen.

Daqian was finally settled down, and the Supreme Emperor did not want Daqian to be in chaos again.

"Prince Fugui? I need to think about it!" Jia Qiang hesitated. He brought the box into the Daming Palace because he wanted to establish a clear relationship with the Supreme Emperor. He did not think of acknowledging his ancestor and returning to the clan.

"This matter is of great importance and is related to your future. You really have to consider it carefully!" The Supreme Emperor nodded, and then said: "But no matter what you choose, I am your biological grandfather!"

"Grandpa!" Jia Qiang could sense the sincerity of the Emperor's feelings for him, and he shouted.

"Good boy, I didn't expect that I would still have the opportunity to meet you when I am old!" the Emperor said excitedly.

When he got excited, he coughed involuntarily.

Jia Qiang consciously stepped forward to help the Supreme Emperor, and used a little healing energy to make the Supreme Emperor feel better.

Jia Qiang left Daming Palace in a bad mood.

He knew very well that he had no choice.

If he does not recognize his ancestors and return to his clan and become a wealthy prince, he will have to face constant attacks from Emperor Jingwen.

Unless he is willing to use force to remove Emperor Jingwen from the throne, he can only accept the path of becoming a wealthy prince.

"I am willing to take a step back, but what about you, Your Majesty?" Jia Qiang looked towards the East Palace and thought in her heart.

When he left the palace, he came face to face with Prince Zhongshun.

Prince Zhongshun's eyes were bloodshot, indicating that he had not slept well.

Even Prince Zhongshun couldn't even come to the court in the morning. There were too many things that needed to be taken care of, and he had no intention of going to court.

You must know that there is nothing in the other courtyard, at most it is just a place to live.

By the prince's standards, all the things originally prepared in the palace were gone.

This makes it inconvenient for Prince Zhongshun to travel. He can't travel without all the honor guards. It would not be in vain to make people laugh.

Especially after reports of the theft at the palace, Prince Zhongshun paid more attention to matters of honor.

"I've met Prince Zhongshun. You haven't slept well. You have to take care of yourself!" Jia Qiang smiled slightly and stepped forward to greet him.

"Jiahou, you are very good!" Prince Zhongshun was not that well-mannered, and pointed at Jia Qiang and said.

He didn't curse anyone, he was extremely restrained.

Of course, he would not admit that the reason why he did not curse was that Jia Qiang's force was too strong and he did not dare to overly stimulate Jia Qiang when they were very close.

If Jia Qiang were really provoked and asked to attack him, Jia Qiang would still receive the punishment he deserved, but he would most likely be killed on the spot.

"Thank you Prince Zhongshun for showing off, I am indeed very good!" Jia Qiang replied lightly.

He made way for Prince Zhongshun's team and left the palace.

Prince Zhongshun stared at Jia Qiang's back, his eyes full of murderous intent.

He had never lost face so much. This time when he entered the palace, he noticed that passers-by looked at him wrongly.

Being ridiculed by Jia Qiang again in front of the palace, the anger in his heart almost burst out.

"What's the arrangement? Do you have to make him suffer?" Prince Zhongshun asked the person next to him.

"We are mobilizing manpower, we can start tomorrow!" The man bowed and replied.

"Wait until he goes to court to take action, and let him receive the news when he goes to court!" Prince Zhongshun thought of his own experience and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" the man responded.

Prince Zhongshun sneered nervously, as if this would make him feel better.

Jia Qiang didn't know this, he was returning to Jiahou's mansion.

As soon as she returned home, she was dragged to the Grand View Garden by Lin Daiyu.

"My mother chose Tubi Villa to live in the Grand View Garden, and we are holding a banquet at Tubi Villa today to celebrate!" Lin Daiyu explained the reason on the way.

Tubi Villa is built on the top of the mountain on the central axis of the Grand View Garden. It is a good place to enjoy the moon and the scenery.

"Since my mother-in-law has chosen Tubi Villa, you have to provide all the maids and slaves, so you don't have to ask the Lin Mansion to come over!" Jia Qiang reminded.

"There's no need for you to remind me of this kind of thing, I've already done it!" Lin Daiyu said with a smile.

"Is father-in-law here?" Jia Qiang asked again.

"Father hasn't come back yet. There is news from Dali Temple that he will rest in Dali Temple tonight!" Lin Daiyu replied helplessly.

Jia Qiang frowned slightly, he knew the pressure Lin Ruhai was under now.

There were deputies below who had different intentions, and Emperor Jingwen above suppressed them.

He just hoped that these people wouldn't go too far. He was always trying to suppress his temper.

He is not a good-tempered person, and his attitude towards his enemies has always been that only dead enemies are good enemies.

When he felt Lin Daiyu looking towards him, he put on a smile.

"Hurry up and don't let my mother-in-law and the others wait in a hurry!" Jia Qiang said with a smile.

"It's okay, the theme of today's banquet is moon viewing, and today is a full moon day!" Lin Daiyu was not in a hurry, she explained.

Jia Qiang did the math and found that today is indeed the middle of the month, when the moon is full. Although it is not the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is a good idea to use this opportunity to host a banquet.
