Chapter 267 (1/2)
With that woman and his son, I don't have to be so careful.
Liu Changlao immediately mobilized his men, found Wu Qingde's former men and questioned them carefully.
Ask Wu Qingde which women he had a relationship with and whether he had a son.
After asking, Liu Changlao was disappointed.
Most of the women that little liars have been with are brothel singers. Occasionally, they have had an affair with several good family women with a disguised identity, but they are all naked couples.
As for the son, the little liar's men have never heard of it.
They mentioned Rong Niang. The little liar often boasted to his men that there was a young lady in his hometown who was waiting for him to get married.
Elder Liu thought: what's the use? The little liar went back to find Rong Niang and bought a big manor. It seems that he wants to live in seclusion after marrying her, but Rong Niang is dead.
But Liu Changlao still didn't give up. He thought the little liar was very cunning. Maybe he hid a home unknown to his subordinates.
Therefore, he still went to check carefully where the little liar stayed. As long as the little liar stayed for more than three days, he had to comb it all over a hundred miles.
He wanted to know all the women Wu Qingde had gone to. He would not let go of any woman who had contact with him.
In April of the first year of Yongping, under the command of old Marshal Wei Chi, the Wu army organized a large-scale counterattack.
The Vietnamese army went deep into the enemy territory. After a long attack, it gradually became a tired army.
The joint forces of the princes of the state of Yue began to have a different heart. They felt that the state of Wu had changed into a wise emperor. Now the whole people were united, and it was impossible for them to attack the state of Wu again. It was just a futile consumption of their strength.
When confronted with a fierce attack, the princes of the state of Yue panicked. All families wanted to protect themselves and expected others to fight to get rid of themselves.
This is the natural defect of the alliance of princes. When fighting with the wind, everyone bravely competes for the first, fearing that they will suffer losses and rob less things. Once they encounter hard bones, they all shrink back, which is also afraid of their own losses.
The offensive and defensive trend will be reversed here.
The Wu army's offensive was so fierce that the Vietnamese army fled back.
The whole kingdom of Wu cheered and felt that recovery was in sight, and the popularity of the new emperor soared.
In this case, elder Liu is even more sad. The ministers in the court and the elders in the temple are urging to establish a empress concubine for the new emperor.
Elder Liu can't stand it. The pressure is too great.
As soon as he was cruel, he decided to hold a huge imperial concubine selection conference. The ministers' young ladies, elders and deacons' daughters were stuffed into the candidates.
The imperial concubine was placed in the imperial garden of the imperial palace. Liu Changlao invited four old concubines to make a primary election first and eliminated a large number of young ladies. There are still a hundred girls left. He has lost a lot anyway.
Elder Liu escorted Wu Qingde to the imperial garden reluctantly, pressed him on the middle dragon chair, smiled bitterly and said, ”emperor, I beg you, I can choose one anyway today. Even if I choose one, I can make a job. I really can't stand it.”
Li Huaide was depressed and stared at elder Liu. He refused dozens of times, but he still couldn't help it. He was forced to come here. He was in a bad mood.
Elder Liu pointed to hundreds of beauties below and said, ”you see, so many beauties, all from famous families, are beautiful and beautiful. You close your eyes and don't lose any of them. If you don't choose, I'll make my own opinion. Don't blame me for not choosing as you like.”
Li Huaide was in a bad mood and looked down with a smelly face.
Most of the beauties under the stage have long admired the wise new emperor. They have seen the emperor's young and handsome, and their hearts are like deer. They are eager for the emperor to choose themselves.
Li Huaide thought, how can my younger martial sister be as lovely as these mediocre fat and vulgar powders? It's disgusting to look at it.
