Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 295 Discussion
At this moment, all the girls were in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but they did not disturb the gathering of Lin Daiyu and Li Qiang.

Miaoyu came to the door and eavesdropped on what Li Qiang and Lin Daiyu were saying.

After a while, she came back with a blushing face.

"Why is it that Miaoyu looks like she's drunk, her face is red and she's swaying when she walks?" Xing Xiuyan couldn't help but curiously asked when she saw Miaoyu like this.

The other girls also saw Miaoyu's appearance and couldn't help but chuckle.

"But what did you hear?" Jia Tanchun asked aloud.

"Master, he has been granted the title of Crown Prince!" Miaoyu said as the blush on her face recovered.

"Prince!"

"God, there is no emperor now, so wouldn't the prince..."

The girls chatted among themselves. This incident had a great impact on them.

But the three sisters got along with Li Qiang for a while. At a young age, Li Qiang was the number one general in the army and a cabinet bachelor. No matter what, she was extremely coveted by women of this era.

She had already thought about it. If the government didn't want her, she would become a nun.

The girls were startled at first, and then couldn't help laughing.

"It's a bit hurried to return to Beijing this time. I'm riding back alone first. It will take another half a month for your gifts to arrive in Beijing!" Li Qiang said to the girls with a smile.

The girls were willing to accompany Lin Daiyu, which helped him. This alone made him want to thank the girls.

With the current situation, when Li Qiang becomes the emperor, they will also become the imperial concubines.

Looking at the former Rongguo Mansion, it was because of the marriage of his daughter Yuanchun into the palace that Rongguo Mansion suddenly became the target of many forces in the capital, and the entire Rongguo Mansion also prospered because of Yuanchun.

"Xiuyan, it's up to you to decide whether you and your sisters will enter the palace!" Miaoyu explained when she saw Xing Xiuyan's gaze.

"Sister Yunfei, sister Zhujun, you also want to enter the palace together!" Miaoyu said, changing the subject.

Yun Fei and Zhu Jun didn't have much shame. They had long regarded themselves as Li Qiang's people.

But after Li Qiang recognized her ancestor and returned to the clan, they learned that Li Qiang was a bloodline of the Daqian royal family who had been living abroad.

"You are too anxious. The prince is still here. Let's wait until we see the prince!" Xing Xiuyan grabbed her and persuaded her softly.

At this time, Li Qiang and Lin Daiyu entered the room. Li Qiang saw that all the girls were there, and he nodded happily.

This shows how high the status of the imperial concubine is. She is already the most noble woman besides the queen mother.

"Prince, you are precious, so be careful. I will send you to rest!" Jade followed.

After traveling such a long way, he really needed to take a shower.

In particular, Lin Daiyu was very close to them, but the only problem was that they were worried about what Li Qiang would think.

Xing Xiuyan is so smart, she immediately understood what entering the palace meant.

But this time, the girls didn't pay too much attention to the gift. They all looked at Li Qiang with curious eyes.

Just think about it, after riding all the way from Yangzhou Mansion to the capital, entering the palace, leaving the palace and returning to the mansion, you feel very tired just listening to it.

"Brother Qiang, haven't you rested yet? Go and rest for a while first!" Lin Daiyu only knew about Li Qiang's situation at this time and said with concern.

They had happy smiles on their faces, feeling that they were so lucky to have been promoted from the marquis's concubine to the prince's wife, and now to the prince's chosen attendant.

Xichun has become an orphan since Ningguo Mansion disappeared.

In all the years they have grown up, these days in the mansion are the happiest days for them.

"It seems to be true!" Tan Chun also realized at this time that she was right.

"Okay, I'm going to wash up!" Li Qiang nodded.

Every time she goes out, Li Qiang will bring back gifts, which has become a habit in the house.

The three sisters also knew their own situation. Yingchun was born as a concubine, and she was sold to Li Qiang by the Rongguo Mansion. She had long given up the idea of ​​getting married and wanted to stay in the mansion forever.

"No, Miaoyu, your face was red just now. Is the prince planning to let you enter the palace as a concubine?" Tan Chun thought of Miaoyu's appearance just now and asked with a chuckle.

As for Tanchun, her biological mother was an aunt, so that was all. This aunt was also involved in the witchcraft disaster, not to mention her reputation. She also had no idea of ​​leaving the house.

Yinglian nodded, and when she saw the looks of the girls, she lowered her head even further.

Xing Xiuyan looked at Miaoyu with questioning eyes. She wanted to know how she was arranged, but she was too embarrassed to ask directly.

The three sisters Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun were a little silent. They had never thought about having anything to do with Li Qiang before, and Li Qiang also decided to prepare dowries for them.

Yinglian's face turned red, she lifted up her skirt and was about to leave.

She pulled Yinglian over and explained to Yinglian about entering the palace.

This was the real prince. Although he had always gotten along with Li Qiang before, this was the first time he met Li Qiang as the prince.

"Yeah, I want to go back and discuss it with my parents!" Yinglian suddenly shouted.

The girls thought that Miaoyu would be embarrassed and lose their temper, but they did not expect that Miaoyu would be quiet and speechless.

In this way, Li Qiang has no relationship with the Jia family, not to mention that Li Qiang was expelled from the family by the Jia family before.

If they had not met Li Qiang, the three sisters might have accepted the arrangement and married a well-matched man.

Of course, even if the Ningguo Mansion is still there, relying on the reputation of Jia Zhen in the Ningguo Mansion, that promiscuous family, even an actor who travels from house to house will know that only the stone lions in their house are clean. It can be seen that her family's reputation in the capital is not good. You can't marry into a good family because of your reputation.

Jade left with Li Qiang. She didn't trust others to serve Li Qiang, for fear that others would not do well.

"Sister Lin, can I enter the palace?" Xing Xiuyan mustered up her courage, but she knew that this was a major event related to her life. Although she had parents, their temperament was not worth relying on.

"Did Xiuyan know that it would be impossible to leave the palace after entering the palace?" Lin Daiyu said with a smile.

"I know!" Xing Xiuyan nodded heavily.

"Actually, I hope all of you can enter the East Palace with me. We sisters are very harmonious together!" Lin Daiyu looked around at the women present and said with a smile.

She thought very clearly that Li Qiang would definitely be the emperor in the future.

She could manage the emperor's concubines, but she could not stop them. The queen had to be tolerant, and jealousy was a taboo in the palace. If Li Qiang wanted to have concubines, instead of letting women whose backgrounds she didn't know come into the palace, it would be better to let these sisters who she was familiar with enter the palace. At least she knew these sisters thoroughly and there would be no dirty things between them.

"Can our sisters enter the East Palace?" Tan Chun stood up and asked.

Yingchun and Xichun were ashamed, but they did not lower their heads, but looked at Lin Daiyu together.

"It's natural, as long as you are willing!" Lin Daiyu certainly welcomed it, she agreed with a smile.

She was thinking that the prince had many concubines now, and even foreign ministers would not be able to ask Li Qiang to have any more concubines in the future.

Li Qiang returned to the main hall. He did not let Jin Dong and other eunuchs serve him. Instead, Feicui and Qin'er served him and took a bath.

He is not used to the eunuch's personal service, and he may not be able to change this habit anytime soon.

He is different from a normal prince. A normal prince is in the learning stage. He is under the supervision of the emperor and taught by the prince Fu beside him. He must pay attention to every word and action.

Although he has the Supreme Emperor above him, the most he can do is to interfere with government affairs, and he may not have much energy to interfere with his personal affairs.

As for the Crown Prince Fu, with his literary talent and martial arts skills, who in Da Gan can be his Crown Prince Fu?
Even if the Supreme Emperor wants to choose a Crown Prince, he must satisfy Li Qiang.

Not to mention, who has ever seen a prince holding the Emperor's Seal of Daqian? No one dares to care about him just because of the Emperor's Seal of Daqian.

After taking a bath, Li Qiang transformed the "Ruyi Immortal Robe" into casual clothes. He did not go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion again, but went to the Lin Mansion through the small door.

Lin Ruhai happened to be at home at this moment, and he came to the study room without any hindrance.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Lin Ruhai was about to step forward and salute.

"Father-in-law, there's no need to be like this. You know I don't care about this. It's more casual in private. You'd better call me Brother Qiang!" Li Qiang supported Lin Ruhai and said.

Lin Ruhai hesitated for a while and couldn't help laughing.

He deliberately returned to the palace to wait for Li Qiang. Today, the imperial edict was read out by the palace cabinet, and the news that Li Qiang became the crown prince spread throughout the yamen at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Ruhai once again received congratulations from many officials, and he was suddenly promoted to the future head of state.

He was also annoyed by this, and he also wanted to meet Li Qiang as soon as possible, so he left Dali Temple and returned to his home.

"Brother Qiang, I didn't expect you to become the prince!" Lin Ruhai sighed.

"I didn't expect it. Originally, I thought it would be good to be a free prince!" Li Qiang shook her head and replied.

"What can you say to that person in the palace?" Lin Ruhai asked.

"I didn't explain anything, I just left the Emperor Daqian's seal in the East Palace!" Li Qiang replied without any concealment.

"The Supreme Emperor is old. This means that I will leave the government affairs to you. We will see if the Supreme Emperor will stamp every envelope later!" Lin Ruhai said in a deep voice.

"Father-in-law, I plan to make you the Crown Prince and Tutor when I have the opportunity. What do you think?" Li Qiang asked.

The Crown Prince and Tutor are from the first rank, but are not as powerful as Lin Ruhai, the Minister of Dali Temple. Dali Temple is the real power department of Dagan.

The title of Crown Prince and Tutor is just a high-level position with no clear authority.

But being Li Qiang's crown prince and tutor is a little different. Since there is no emperor above him, Li Qiang will not become emperor for long. From now on, the prince and tutor will be the Taifu, which is a first-class official position.

The most important thing is that if the Taifu is valued by the emperor, his power will be so great that he can almost influence the cabinet.

"Since you need my help, I have no objection!" Lin Ruhai said without any hesitation.

How did he come to be the Minister of Dali Temple? He returned to the capital from the position of Inspector of Salt, the seventh rank, and became the Minister of Dali Temple in the third rank in a short time. The big reason was because he was Li Qiang's father-in-law.

He also knew that once Li Qiang became the prince and later the emperor, he would need someone trustworthy.

"Thank you to my father-in-law for your support. With my father-in-law as my helper, I will be more relaxed in the future!" Li Qiang said with a smile.

"Are you taking Yu'er into the palace this time?" Lin Ruhai asked, thinking of Lin Daiyu.

"Yes, please don't worry when I bring Sister Lin into the palace this time, I will take good care of her!" Li Qiang thought that Lin Ruhai was worried about Lin Daiyu's body, so she promised with a smile.

"Yu'er has been with us since she was a child. Although she is very smart, there are constant battles and conflicts in the palace. Don't let her suffer injustice in the palace!" Lin Ruhai said worriedly.

"Don't worry about this. I plan to bring my maids into the palace. Those maids are only responsible for external matters. Eunuchs are not allowed to enter the princess's palace. In addition, I will arrange guards to protect the East Palace!" Li Qiang said The plan was revealed.

"Will this break the rules of the palace?" Lin Ruhai was also shocked when he heard Li Qiang's arrangement. He no longer had to worry about his daughter Lin Daiyu, but worried about Li Qiang.

"Rules, I have the final say in the East Palace, I want to see who dares to raise the rules with me!" Li Qiang said lightly.

He is not one of those weak princes. He has mastered the military power himself, and his strength is even more terrifying.

In terms of power, although he is the prince, he has the power of the emperor.

Besides, he wasn't doing anything to confuse the East Palace, he was just trying to make his princess's life more comfortable.

"You severely damaged the Tatar tribe in the border town this time. How is the situation there?" Lin Ruhai asked about political affairs again. He was preparing to help Li Qiang in the future.

Only by mastering more actual situations can we make better suggestions.

"The Tatar tribe will be unable to commit another crime for at least ten years!" Li Qiang assured confidently.

"Being able to be stable for ten years has given Da Qian a chance to breathe!" Lin Ruhai believed in Li Qiang and said with a smile.

If there is ten years of stability, Li Qiang can manage Daqian well. Even if the Tatar tribe commits another crime in ten years, Daqian will still have the financial and military resources to fight against it.

"The Tatars don't have to worry anymore. After I become emperor, I will send a large army to quell the Tatars!" Li Qiang said his plan.

"A warlike warrior will lead to death. Although you have confidence, you still have to be cautious when using weapons!" Lin Ruhai said with a slight frown.

"Father-in-law, when one of my troops returns to Beijing, you will know why I am so confident." Li Qiang did not have any ideas because of Lin Ruhai's objections. He needed such official assistance around him.

He never thought that he was omnipotent, he just had more knowledge of later generations than people of this era.

It's really impossible to say whether those insights are right or wrong. After he becomes the emperor, his words and deeds are likely to affect the lives of hundreds of millions of people, and someone needs to constantly remind him.

The army Li Qiang mentioned was the artillery army.

The Ordnance Department of the Artillery Corps is studying the replication of the Franco machine gun, and on this basis, it will improve the defects of the Franco machine gun and advance the Franco machine artillery to an updated stage.
