What am I thinking when I'm cheating on the male supporting role [Transmigration Book]

Xie Duo's gaze shifted from his own handkerchief to Xie An's. He wanted to grab Xie An's handkerchief quickly after the little prodigy finished using it.

It's the same color anyway.

Unexpectedly, the little prodigy stuffed the two handkerchiefs into his sleeve pockets after wiping his nose and tears, without any intention of returning them.

Han Jiao even soiled the handkerchief, how could he return it to the princes?It doesn't matter if they pick it up or not, it's better to take it back and wash it before returning it.

From time to time, the laughter of the Yan Wang brothers came from the private room next door.

This was really the most pleasing laughter in the world, and Han Jiao was so excited beyond words.

Xie Duo left the Yan Palace that day and told Han Jiao about Yan's tragedy.

Compared to feeling sorry for King Yan's situation, Han Jiao was more worried about the words that King Yan said to the big boss with complaints.

This doesn't sound right, if the big boss is not blackened, it's okay to change King Yan to blackened?

Han Jiao was so anxious that he decided to use his trump card in advance: let King Yan and Lao Qi get back together again.

The original plan was to let King Yan get in touch with Xie Xiu who had returned to normal, so that he could detect the difference between the diseased state and the normal state, and then Han Jiao would come forward and explain to King Yan the reason for the old seven's abnormal behavior in person, which would be more convincing.

Unexpectedly, King Yan's ears became so soft.

Han Jiao hadn't appeared on stage yet to explain the ins and outs, but King Yan's tail flicked to the sky when the seventh brother called the sixth brother, and he didn't care about why the seventh brother had changed so much before and after.

But the explanation still needs to be explained. After the brothers next door chatted for a long time, Han Jiao brought the princes together to seek an audience, and solemnly explained the detailed process and symptoms of Xie Xiu's illness, including the treatment process, to King Yan.

However, King Yan didn't fully understand what kind of disease Traumatic Emergency Response Disorder is, and he couldn't even accept the reason for Xie Xiu's abnormal behavior before.

He stared at Lao Qi in astonishment and said, "Are you afraid of me? Is it because you are afraid that you yell?"

Xie Xiu looked bewildered.

Han Jiao quickly explained: "I'm not afraid of you, but seeing or thinking of you will bring him to the hallucination of the day of the accident."

In fact, painful memories and feelings are locked in the nerves. Once activated, it will trigger a physiological reaction of extreme fear, which is basically uncontrollable, but these principles cannot be explained clearly to King Yan.

King Yan naturally couldn't understand, he asked Lao Qi angrily: "Are you really that afraid of me? Do you still have a conscience? Who was protecting you in the palace when you were a child? You shouldn't be afraid of me if you are afraid of anyone. !"

"...I'm not afraid of you." Xie Xiu explained with difficulty: "I'm afraid that you...hate me. I'm afraid that Zhenniang...will become...the queen mother. I...have nothing...I...I'm afraid..."

"Shut up!" King Yan sensed that something was wrong with Lao Qi, interrupted him hastily, put his arms around his younger brother's shoulders, and hugged him tightly: "You little white-eyed wolf, you're just thinking wildly! It's enough to be afraid for so many years. , it will never be allowed again, you know?"

Xie Xiu turned to look at Sixth Brother, and said with difficulty: "Sixth Brother, I miss you so much."

King Yan's eyes turned red instantly, he hugged his younger brother tightly, and pressed his forehead against his head: "I know, I know."

Xie Xiu was very happy, but being hugged tightly by his brother, he couldn't shake his body. He turned his head excitedly, found the target from the crowd, and immediately stretched out his hand to ask the ninth brother to come over.

Xie Duo obediently walked to the side of the two older brothers with a dazed expression. He thought that the older brothers would hug him and cry together. Unexpectedly, Xie Xiu pulled him in front of the sixth brother with an excited expression, showing off, "Ah Duo has already At this age, he used to love to fight with others, I taught him well."

Xie Duo, the "bad grass" who was painstakingly brought up by Seventh Brother: "..."

King Yan looked at Xie Xiu with tears in his eyes and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

Xie Duo: "..."

Xie Duo, who was abandoned by the seventh brother after showing off, went back to the side and stood quietly, not disturbing the two brothers to talk about the past.

The sky was getting dark, and the two brothers hadn't talked enough, King Yan directly invited Lao Qi to live in his palace for a few days, Xie Xiu agreed without hesitation.

Han Jiao hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, reminding them not to alarm outsiders for the time being, lest Li Gelao know about it.

He was very worried that Mr. Li Ge would use some big tricks when he saw that things had come to this point.

It would be best for the two brothers to bury the hatchet in secret, and let the Duanwang Party and the Yanwang Party fight on their own in front of outsiders. This also meets the emperor's request. When the two parties are almost exhausted, the emperor will thank you To become the crown prince, as long as there is no hatred among the three brothers, there will be no result of brother-in-law killing.

Xie Xiu was puzzled by Han Jiao's worry: "Why didn't you let Mr. know?"

King Yan was even more puzzled by his younger brother's question, and asked him instead: "Didn't Mr. Li Ge tell you not to approach me?"

Xie Xiu shook his head firmly.

King Yan has always wondered how Mr. Li Ge persuaded Lao Qi to be his puppet willingly. Now that the two had settled their suspicions, King Yan asked bluntly.

Xie Xiu didn't hide anything either, and told King Yan everything about Li Ge's teachings.

For a long time, Mr. Li Ge told Xie Xiu: Mr. Xu Ge's ruling strategy and his party members have caused serious damage to the court and the people, and even deceived the upper and lower to manipulate the King of Yan.

Mr. Li Ge can produce real evidence for these things, and it is not completely planted and criticized.

Li Gelao hopes that King Duan can become the king of a country, and he and his ministers will join hands to create a peaceful and prosperous world.

Xie Xiu has no intention of proclaiming himself emperor, but he feels that only by ascending the throne can he let Li Gelao realize his ambitions, so he has become Li Gelao's puppet in the eyes of outsiders.

Those words attacking King Yan's party were of course harsh to King Yan's ears. He immediately exposed the old fox's true colors in front of Lao Qi, and told Xie Xiuduan about the scandal of bribery and empty pay in the royal party.

"Especially the northwest frontier defense." King Yan was furious when he thought of it: "The frontier defense generals are all his people, and they all obediently obeyed his secret orders. The peaceful and prosperous world Li Ge wants?"

Xie Xiu looked at Sixth Brother and replied firmly, "Sir, you can't fight in the Northwest."

"Do you believe this too?" King Yan asked anxiously, "The Japanese pirates in the southeast are more deadly than the tartars when they hacked and killed. Didn't they get beaten back to their lair by my great Chu soldiers?"

Xie Xiu was not good at arguing, he looked at Sixth Brother stupidly, and stopped talking.

Mentioning this matter, Han Jiao also remembered it. Last year, he had been thinking about it: Why did Mr. Li Ge insist that the Northwest soldiers avoid fighting instead of fighting?

It is incomprehensible to endure the endless intrusion of the Tartars in this way.

Han Jiao turned his head, poured his expectations on the big boss, and asked in a gentle voice: "Your Highness, do you think Mr. Li Ge has some deep meaning in doing this?"

King Yan immediately shouted: "What deep meaning can there be? Isn't it the way of raising bandits to respect themselves!"

"Not necessarily." Xie Duo said lightly: "The situation in the northwest is different from that in the southeast, so the way to deal with it is naturally different."

King Yan frowned and said, "Why is it different?"

Xie Duo raised his eyes and looked at the sixth brother calmly: "The Japanese pirates are across the sea from us. They broke into the southeast and plundered, and it took a lot of trouble. As long as we subdue them, the loss outweighs the gain, and the intrusion will naturally be less. The northwest is different, because the country is bordered by land and there is no natural barrier, not to mention that there is not only the Tatar tribe. If we really want to fight, it will never be finished. If we spend huge military expenditures to suppress the Tatars, the Khitan or Jurchen may be so Rise, if this continues, it will only waste national power, and it is not a good strategy."

Han Jiao's eyes lit up: "It makes sense! All dynasties have been fighting those tribes, and it seems that there is really no way to complete their achievements in one battle."

Xie Duo tilted his head and hooked the corner of his lips at him.

Han Jiao's heart beat suddenly.

The big boss really became handsome again!

King Yan frowned and said, "Are you just allowing others to bully you? Let the Northwest Frontier Defense spend so much military expenditure every year?"

Seeing the adoring gaze of the little prodigy, Xie Duo was in a good mood. He turned his head and explained patiently to the sixth brother, "I suspect that Li Ge always wants to wait for the natural communication between the people in the frontier and foreign tribes to prepare for the opening of border trade."

Everyone was at a loss when they heard it, but Han Jiao was the only one who understood it.

That's right!Those foreign tribes have long robbed the frontier people, mainly for the purpose of grabbing things.

In the dynasties that were open to foreign trade in history, these plundering conflicts were rare.

Although the foreigners are poor and backward, they don't want to lick their blood all day long. The reason why they risk their lives to harass the border of Great Chu is because the national policy set by the ancestors of Great Chu calls for self-defense in order to maintain the peace of the border, but actually it is counterproductive.

"Open border trade?" King Yan frowned and said, "Wouldn't that be leading wolves into the house?"

Xie Duo explained: "With sufficient border preparations, it is impossible for the Tatars to initiate wars. They have neither the strength nor the ambition. If they acquiesce in the formation of safe and stable trade exchanges on the frontier, if things go on like this, there will be no disasters. If Mr. Li Ge proposed to abolish this ancestral system and open up border trade, he would be able to gain the support of the people and courtiers. Once the trade exchange is achieved, with the national power of Great Chu, all the tribes in Mobei will soon be able to rely on our supply. In this case, we can more easily provoke injustice among the tribes, trigger wars among them, and let them consume each other, rather than sending troops to waste national power by ourselves."

Everyone was silently thinking.

However, Han Jiao had already understood it completely, and secretly glanced at Xie Duo with sparkling eyes.

Xie An was the first to whisper: "What do you mean?"

Xie Jing replied in a low voice: "You don't need to worry about it."

King Yan took a deep breath, and said to Xie Xiu: "I want to have a private talk with Mr. Li Ge, please tell him for me."

Xie Xiu nodded happily and agreed.
