Liu Che sat quietly under Empress Dowager Dou and Empress Bo, waiting for the girls to be drafted to come in one after another.
His fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the desk.
To be honest, he was quite looking forward to it.
This time, it can be said that there are so many beauties gathering in this talent show.
According to the gossip that Wang Dao got from the Shaofu, there are several peerless beauties.
only……
For some reason, Liu Che felt a little awkward at the moment.
Speaking of which, this is all the fault of Liu Che's imperial father and imperial grandfather. The old Liu family has lost all moral integrity when it comes to sex. The Liu family has never had a so-called plot. On the contrary, those who like mature ladies far more than they like young girls.
Astringent apple.
It is said that the King of Chu had such a thin waist that many people died of starvation in the palace!
Therefore, every year when the crown prince is drafted, all kinds of nonsense and nonsense among the people emerge one after another.
Various cases of annulment, regret, and even divorce occur one after another!
Liu Che felt that if the protagonist of the divorced marriage scandal came to the Western Han Dynasty in later generations, he would probably have sex dozens of times!
However, Liu Che felt awkward, but it wasn't because of that.
As one of the most powerful men in the world, it is only natural that he possesses more beautiful girls.
The reason Liu Che feels awkward is because he hates this kind of trend.
Of course I am happy to see you as a married woman and a royal sister, but if you have a different style, you will even praise her.
However, under such a trend, he will probably eventually be surrounded by countless women who have their own hidden agendas and are obsessed with competing for favor.
Liu Che remembered that there was a story recorded in the Han Dynasty. When Liu Xi, the crown prince of Emperor Xuan, was young, his beloved concubine Sima Liangdi fell ill and was about to die. Before she died, she held Liu Xi's hand and said: My death is not destiny. I am Zhu Di's concubine.
My beloved even more wishes to curse and kill me!
Although Sima Liangdi may have disliked the concubines who were usually jealous of her, so she dug a hole to trap them before she died.
But it comes out of nowhere, how can it be without cause?
The Liu family's lax draft system and censorship system full of loopholes and unspoken rules have destined that those who finally get to stand in front of the prince will be women who are extremely scheming and well versed in their methods.
Speaking of the old Liu family's selection and censorship system for beautiful girls, it is simply a sieve!
Even a woman like Wang Quan, who had a husband and had children, could openly enter the palace as a daughter of a good family.
Others who are just engaged or married are more likely to sneak in.
Moreover, in unofficial history, there are endless records of similar favors received from beautiful girls within the royal family.
For example, the story of Wang Zhaojun proves very well that in the court under the Liu family, just being beautiful and talented does not necessarily lead to meeting the emperor.
If you don't send money and go through the back door, you will almost give up the competition and the opportunity to rise to the top.
This is like the hard-working writers of later generations. If you don’t write, the writers will take advantage of you.
Thinking about these things, Liu Che rubbed his temples.
As the future master of this country, Liu Che knows very well that it is also his responsibility and obligation to take good care of his women.
It would be a manly thing to pull out the ruthlessness, but Liu Che knew very well that he couldn't do it, or he wasn't aware enough.
In this way, choosing a pillow partner becomes an issue that must be considered and weighed.
"Let's eliminate all those who came from Zhao country for now..." Liu Che thought in his heart.
The women of the Zhao Kingdom were well-known at this time and were famous for their various charms. For example, Princess Guantao pimped Liu Che's father. Ten of the beauties presented to her were from Zhao.
This is really not Liu Che's regional discrimination, but this is generally the custom in Zhao at this time.
In his previous life, he was the king of Hejian, and Hejian itself was a county separated from the State of Zhao.
As a monarch, Liu Che knew very well who most of the elite landlords, gentry, and gentry in Zhao were.
Those guys are each smarter and more powerful than the last one.
Moreover, the customs in Zhao land are extravagant and comparisons are prevalent.
In such a general environment, even the private sector has been greatly affected.
Later, when Taishi Gong wrote a history, he unceremoniously commented on Zhao State and the nearby Zhongshan, Changshan and other countries, saying that their men gathered together to play, sang tragic songs generously, and when they were up, they would kill each other, and when they were off, they would dig graves and commit treachery. How beautiful it was. Things are used to promote excellence, while women are used to play drums and harp, wander around to charm the rich, enter the harem, and spread among the princes.
In the late Han Dynasty, Zhao women, especially the beauties of Zhao country, were the representatives who could not stay lonely and liked to jump around.
The famous Zhao Feiyan sisters were even able to force that idiot Yuan Emperor to kill his son with his own hands, which shows how powerful their methods are.
What's more serious is that Zhao Feiyan sisters also wore many green hats for Emperor Yuan.
Liu Che doesn’t want to see green on his head in the future!
While he was thinking about it, a eunuch came to Liu Che with a silk book in his hand, knelt down and said, "Your Highness, this is the list of beautiful ladies this time. Please take a look at it!"
Liu Che looked at Empress Dowager Dou and Empress Bo, and after getting their permission, he stood up, first paid homage to the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and then took the list.
When Liu Che received the roster, he first felt that it was quite solid.
He sat down and opened the roster.
This silk book is quite thick, with more than a dozen layers. If spread out, it would be several meters long.
Liu Che turned over the first page and saw text written on it, which was probably a description of Xiu Nu's surname, place of origin, background and appearance.
The portraits mentioned in unofficial histories have never appeared on silk books.
Come to think of it, either there are simply no court painters at the moment, or the Han Dynasty never had the profession of painter.
After thinking about it for a moment, Liu Che felt that it was right.
In this era where bamboo slips are the mainstay, do you want to draw a portrait on a bamboo slip or silk book?
I'm afraid it's no less difficult than making a cannon!
"I'm afraid there are hundreds of names of beautiful girls written on this silk book..." Liu Che held the silk book and secretly exclaimed. Hundreds of young girls, royal ladies, loli wives, etc. were lined up for him to choose. Such treatment, I'm afraid. Only the emperor and the prince can enjoy it.
"I'm afraid those whose names are written in front are all beautiful ladies who have used money or have connections!" Liu Che thought to himself.
Of course, among these hundreds of women, it is impossible for everyone to be selected.
In fact, in every draft, there are usually only three or five lucky people who can get the prince's approval.
More importantly, there are hundreds of people on this list, and neither Liu Che nor Empress Bo has enough time to see them all in person.
What to do?
Naturally, he was drawn from the roster.
Maybe a certain girl's name was chosen, and then the prince decided to meet her.
For example, Wang Quan got a good name!
Liu Che's father's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he was put on the watch list.
Of course, more often than not, one reads comments on silk books.
Whether you are beautiful, talented, what your temperament is, and what your family background is, these are all options that add points.
Liu Che looked at the eunuch and thought: "I'm afraid there are a lot of tricks on this silk book!"
This is almost certain!
Thinking about Wang Zhaojun, and then thinking about Wei Zifu, you know that these guys must have used tricks in these things.
Sure enough, Liu Che opened the silk book and saw a familiar name on the first page - Zhuo Wenjun!
This name is even directly ranked first!
"Zhuo Wangsun, a wealthy man, is so wealthy!" Liu Che cursed in his heart.
But he was very interested in Zhuo Wenjun.
Although she is only twelve or thirteen years old this year and is a typical loli, the Liu family has always had a tradition!
Moreover, Liu Che was full of expectations for this famous talented woman and representative of intellectual women in history.
So, he calmly said to the eunuch: "The sons of Linqiong Zhuo's family and the sons of Cheng Zheng's family are different!"
The eunuch's face suddenly became overjoyed, and he bowed his head and said: "No! I will bring these two to meet Your Highness, the Queen Mother, and the Queen!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
