Chapter 432: Extra-twelve

Once, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu brought a few good friends to the place where he raised beauties, and after a few people had a good time, a friend proposed an idea to him: It is not easy to use these beauties to bribe others.

At that time, the Ministry of Rites did not take it seriously, but later in a party, the beauty he brought was favored by the official he wanted to befriend, so he gave the beauty to the other party, and the other party befriended him.

This made the Ministry of Rites Shangshu see an opportunity, and since then, he has specially arranged for people to search for all kinds of beauties everywhere in secret, requiring these beauties to be good-looking and low-status, so that they will not be discovered by others.

There is a first-class official of the Ministry of Etiquette, and there are a bunch of courtiers below to curry favor with him. Coupled with the role of beauty, many courtiers cooperated with him, which is the real reason why it has not been discovered for a long time.

And those girls who were abducted, those who were lucky became the concubines or outer rooms of high-ranking officials and nobles, and those who were unlucky became the objects of toy, and many of them were even toyed to death.

In the eyes of these dignitaries, the lives of these girls are not lives at all, they are a plaything, a plaything that is fortunate enough to be played with by them.

After reading the letter, Tang Yingying was so angry that she slammed the ground a few times, and said viciously, "These scumbags!"

Mo Chen was also very angry, he put his arm around Tang Yingying's shoulders and coaxed, "If you don't get angry, don't get angry, it's not good to be angry with yourself." You see, Your Majesty wrote in the letter that these people have been put to death."

"It's not enough!" Tang Yingying's anger did not subside: "The Ministry of Rites Shangshu killed so many innocent girls for personal gain. And the girls who survived, what are they going to do?"

"Maybe they can't go back to their original home, or they go back to their original home, and their family accepts them, and they have to endure endless gossip."

She really hates these people in the Ministry of Rites, they treat innocent girls as playthings for their own selfish interests, and wantonly play with or kill them.

Mo Chen patted her shoulder lightly and said softly, "Don't be angry. It's already happening, and it's useless for you to get angry. Moreover, such things cannot be eradicated."

Tang Yingying didn't know, she sighed lightly: "No matter what era it is, weakness is a sin."

Mo Chen can't refute this, not all powerful people are kind and don't make it difficult for others, and some powerful people never take the lives of ordinary people as their lives.

"Okay, a few kids will be worried when they see you like this."

Tang Yingying took a few deep breaths and forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart: "I'll write a letter back and let Shantang look at the arrangement. If these women are willing to stay in the Church of Kindness, let them stay in the Church of Kindness, and there will always be a place to live."

She wrote a letter and ordered the Secret Guard to send it back.

Mo Chen coaxed Tang Yingying for a while before she was in a slightly better mood.

Seeing this, several children ran over to coax Tang Yingying.

"Mother, don't be angry, I'll make a grimace to show you, my newly learned grimace."

"Mother, I will be obedient and obedient, I won't sleep often, don't be angry anymore."

"Princess Regent, this is the wildflower I just picked, give it to you, don't be angry."

"Princess Regent, I'll let my father clean up those who make you angry."

Tang Yingying's mood suddenly improved, and she hugged a few children one by one: "Good boy, I'm fine. Remember, no matter how noble your status is, you must not oppress the innocent." br>

"Even if you don't help each other, you can't fall into the trap, or join forces with others to bully innocent people, you know?"

A few children obediently agreed.

Tang Yingying let a few children play by themselves.

A few of the children went to play after making sure she was really fine.

Tang Yingying sighed: "Especially after having children, I can't get used to these things, maybe it's a relationship with children."

Mo Chen smiled slightly: "If you can't get used to it, you can clean up the other party." If you can't clean it up, what about your husband."

Tang Yingying laughed: "I love to hear what you say."

The two chatted.

Western capital, imperial palace, early dynasty.

Mo Yuankai smashed a book to the ground and said angrily, "What is the use of me asking you courtiers to come? It's not enough to have three wives and four concubines, but you also have to get involved with innocent girls, and even treat these girls as playthings, do you take me seriously?"

The courtiers knelt on the ground and saluted, "Please calm your anger."

"How do you let me calm my anger?" Mo Yuan slapped the royal case openly: "A mere Ministry of Rites, dare to use my people for his benefit, do you dare to say that you don't know at all?"

Some courtiers are really completely unaware, some courtiers are aware, some courtiers have heard of it, and some courtiers hope that Xin Ya father and son will intercede.

Xin Ya and Xin Wenan stood there with their heads down and looked at the uppers, don't look for them, they don't know anything, they won't say anything.

"I see it like this." Mo Yuan sneered: "From today onwards, you will all give me a month to the temple for self-cultivation."

"Whoever dares to do something that shouldn't be done in this month, then don't blame me for cutting off his head."

Some of the noble courtiers complained bitterly, what is this called? What His Majesty said about going to the temple to cultivate their self-cultivation is to ask them to live in the temple for a month, and they will not be able to touch any meat at all, let alone be served.

With a wave of Mo Yuan's hand, these courtiers were sent to a temple outside the city to begin a month-long period of self-cultivation.

In addition, he also ordered the forbidden army to search the entire flower street and gambling houses, clean up all problematic places, and issued a number of orders to regulate the flower street and avoid similar incidents as much as possible.

His series of measures have been praised by the people.

"Your Majesty's move is really, really good. Flower Street was really chaotic before.,I heard that there were women who passed by or near Flower Street who were kidnapped.,And then they appeared in Fengyue Place.。 Now that Your Majesty has put it in order, it will be fine for a girl from a good family to walk on Flower Street."

"Your Majesty is really a good emperor, and he thinks about our people everywhere. This time, the flower street and gambling house were rectified, and many people were saved. Now those flower streets don't dare to rob people."

These measures have made Mo Yuankai's throne more stable and more prestigious.

After a few days of travel, Tang Yingying and his entourage came to a larger town, which was called Goddess Town.

Legend has it that a thousand years ago, a goddess came down here to save the people affected by the disaster. After that, the town was renamed the town of the goddess.

When the group arrived in the town, they found that there were lights everywhere, which was very lively.

"Mother, is there a happy event happening here?" The little sweetheart leaned on the window and asked her parents in the carriage.

The other children were sitting in another carriage, and it was really the little sweetheart who was too noisy, so Mo Chen and his wife brought the child to them.

Tang Yingying didn't know very well, she tapped the carriage wall a few times.

The carriage came to a slow stop.

Tang Yingying instructed her subordinates to find a place to live, while she, Mo Chen and a few of her subordinates were walking around the street with a few children.

The town is lit up and beaming, and everyone's face is filled with laughter, giving people cheerfulness and relaxation.

Tang Yingying grabbed an aunt with a red lantern and asked with a smile, "Auntie, is there any happy event in your town?"

Aunt smiled and said, "Playing from out of town?"

Tang Yingying said "yes": "He and his husband took a few children out for a walk."

The aunt patted her thigh and said, "No wonder! Ten miles and eight villages all know our goddess's day. Today is the birthday of the goddess, and there will be a grand event in our town, and some people will dress up as goddesses and parade through the streets."

"I tell you, it is a great honor to be a goddess in our place. The girls here are proud to be goddesses."

After some popularization of the aunt, Tang Yingying and her entourage understood how important and important the goddess's festival in the town was to the people of the town and Shili Eight Villages.

Tang Yingying thanked her aunt, and went to a nearby restaurant with Mochen and others, and sat in the private room to watch and eat.

A few children leaned on the window, their little heads sticking out to watch.

"It's really lively, it reminds me of the festival in the Western Capital. You can see that they take this goddess's day very seriously."

"I want to see the goddess, and I want to hear the story of the goddess."

"I just want to eat something good. Alas~~ You say, does the goddess eat?"

Tang Yingying and Mo Chen listened to it so funny, they deserved to be children, and their ideas were really different.

"The dish I just ordered, there is the goddess's favorite food, you can taste it in a while." Tang Yingying quipped.

The children decided to wait a while to try the goddess's favorite dish to see if it was any different from the food that mortals like them loved.

"Mother, when we're done, we'll go around again." The little sweetheart took Tang Yingying's hand and kept shaking: "Mother, okay?"

Tang Yingying smiled and said, "As far as you are playful, have you completed the homework assigned by the master?"

The little sweetheart patted her chest: "I finished it, if you don't believe it, you can ask the eldest prince about them."

The eldest prince and several children nodded, indicating that the little sweetheart was really completed, so that she could play with peace of mind, otherwise she would delay for a long time to finish.

Tang Yingying knew her daughter best, and she tapped her little sweetheart's forehead twice: "Since you have finished the homework assigned by your master, then let's go shopping later."

"Yay!" The little sweetheart cheered, and continued to lie down the window with a smile on her face, "Let's have a good look later."

At this time, the meal came up, and Tang Yingying asked Xiao Er for more specifics.

Xiao Er naturally knew everything: "If the guest officer has time at night, it is best to come out at night to watch. Our goddess's festival is the most lively at night, and there are lanterns at night, and the goddess also comes out at night."
