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

In the evening, King Yan's Mansion.

"Brother and Mr. Liu, please go back. I will send someone to investigate the matter myself." King Yan suppressed his anger and dismissed the two of them coldly.

Liu Tong is King Yan's teacher, and he has already said everything he can to persuade him.

I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup this prince who has always respected himself was fed. He actually threw face at him, a teacher who has been a teacher for five years, for a little scumbag who jumped out halfway.

Originally, Liu Tong was only ordered by Xu Ge to send a message to King Yan, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel jealous from the heart of the prodigy Han Jiao who had never met before.

It is said that Han Jiao is currently living in the other house next to the palace, and he communicates with King Yan every day.

Liu Tong once thought that the way King Yan treated him was already the highest respect for his teacher, but now with Han Jiao as a comparison, he realized that he was not at all in the heart of King Yan.

Unwilling to leave like this, he winked at the eldest son of the emperor sitting opposite him from the corner of his eye, asking him to speak to persuade King Yan.

The eldest prince had always put on a leisurely attitude of staying out of the matter, but seeing that Liu Tong refused to continue speaking, he turned his head reluctantly, and persuaded King Yan who was sitting by the side: "Sixth brother, the evidence is solid, the kidnapping case is alive and well. The kidnappers who came down were interrogated separately, and they all gave the same confession, are you still obsessed with it? This case was originally a double reed played by them and Han Jiao."

It was the teacher Liu Tong who was presenting the case just now, King Yan showed mercy and did not refute it face-to-face, now that he heard his eldest brother adding fuel to the scene, King Yan immediately turned his head and scolded: "I really don't understand, why do you have to make things difficult for Mr. Han? He is just an [-]-year-old concubine with no power and power, risking his life to advise me. If Mr. Han hears about these lurid plots you have arranged, how chilling will he be? If Mr. Han gets angry , go back to the mountains and forests, where are you going to find such a powerful counselor to compensate me!"

"I don't understand, Sixth Brother, why do you believe that an outsider with no power, power, and influence can solve such a big case?" The eldest prince said sharply, "The more innocent Han Jiao's background, the more suspicious he is. That old fox found out such a person just to make you believe in it. Now you know the situation well, your father’s trust in Mr. Li Ge is undeniable. You should keep a low profile and protect yourself by yourself. How can you ignore him? Treasures, even housed in the palace!"

Yan Wang sneered and said: "Then who should I regard as a treasure? When things go wrong, those 'my own people' who persuade me to suppress the case, swallow my anger, suffer injustice, and do nothing are regarded as treasures? But I regard them as treasures? , who does not hesitate to offend the most powerful force in the court, who only relies on a pile of account books and his own strength to solve the case in three days, is he regarded as a jackal?"

As soon as these words came out, it wasn't just that the First Prince was stabbed at the vital point, but Liu Tong who was sitting across from him turned red in an instant.

King Yan obviously came here for Liu Tong, saying that he did nothing when the accident happened, but he came to slander the hero Han Jiao afterwards.

"I don't know what your highness means." Liu Tong was so angry that his eye circles were red, and he argued in a trembling voice: "I came here to pass on the message for Mr. Xu Ge, and to present the results of the Ministry of Criminal Investigation. From the beginning to the end, I never said that Han No sir, if His Royal Highness is angry at the minister because of the proposal and the investigation results of the old man, the minister will submit his resignation today, and in the future..."

"Mr. Liu!" Yan Wang frowned and looked at Liu Tong: "Since you want this king to express his opinion, then you have to let me talk about your own thoughts, right? You are not right about the matter, why do you make yourself unhappy? I just said Those words were about other counselors in my mansion, and have nothing to do with you, sir!"

Such an excuse means that there is no 300 taels of silver here.

After the incident, Liu Tong was ordered by Mr. Xu Ge to persuade King Yan to swallow his anger and settle accounts after the fall. Who else could he be referring to this useless "own man"?

King Yan saw the teacher trembling with his fists clenched, and regretted that he had spoken too seriously.

After all, this is the teacher who has been loyal to him for five years. He took the risk and communicated with the cabinet ministers on behalf of King Yan.

If it hadn't been suppressed by the Duan Wang Party for this reason, Liu Tong's current qualifications would not be a problem to be an official of the Six Departments. It was all for the King of Yan, Liu Tong was willing to sink in Xialiao for so many years, he had credit and hard work.

Since having Han Jiao, the King of Yan almost never asked Liu Tong for advice. Liu Tong felt a little resentful towards Han Jiao in his heart, which is human nature.

King Yan's heart softened for a moment, he stood up, and gave Liu Tong a deep bow: "The student just made a slip of the tongue and didn't intend to offend Mr., I hope Mr. Haihan will calm down."

Liu Tong took a deep breath, got up and bowed to King Yan: "Your Highness, you are also the evil minister."

King Yan calmed down because of his guilt, and began to explain Han Jiao's inferences to the two in a good voice, trying to explain that Han Jiao was not what they said, "guessing the truth out of thin air by divination and fortune-telling", and that the case was all based on this talented man carefully deduced.

"If this is the case, it is naturally the best." Liu Tong was also moved by King Yan's sincerity, and said calmly: "In the beginning, His Highness got such a genius, from the old Xu Ge down to the humble minister, everyone was happy for His Highness, but After careful consideration, the time for the child to handle the case was really short. In addition, his father was caught by Zhou Zhaokun a while ago, and there was a confession in the kidnapping case, saying that he was colluding with Han Jiao. Xu Ge was worried that His Highness was being tricked, so he sent a message to remind him. .”

King Yan frowned and said: "Although this king and Mr. Han have only known each other for half a month, but he listened to Mr. Han's high-level opinions on governing the country every day, and secretly thought that Mr. Han was a genius through the ages. As for Zhou Zhaokun's release, it was because of his guilty conscience. Besides, the interrogation statements you brought are all private interrogation ciphers from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. They dare not reveal them to the public. Who knows what they did? The Ministry of War is already constrained by Zhou Zhaokun, how can these confessions be taken seriously?"

Liu Tong said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Ministry of Criminal Justice does not disclose it to the public because this private trial was actually conducted by our people, so Elder Xu Ge wants you to beware."

King Yan became angry again, worried that he would slip up again, he paused for a long time before refuting: "These criminals interrogated by Mr. Ge are all desperadoes who can be easily manipulated by Zhou Zhaokun, and I have interrogated my own brother before. Xie Duo, my ninth brother told me personally that when Han Jiao was dueling with the kidnappers, he was the one who took Han Jiao back from Lord Yan. Please think about it carefully, sir. If this kidnapping case is just a drama, even The group of kidnappers didn't expect that the prince would chase after him, so they wouldn't be able to silence Han Jiao, right? According to these confessions, after they finished the play, they took the money and flew away, wouldn't it be enough? If they really killed If Han Jiao is killed, aren't they going to fight?"

Liu Tong picked up the interrogation record and pointed it to King Yan: "Your Highness, please read this paragraph in detail. It roughly means that the kidnapper who was killed by His Highness Ninth Prince was because the situation was out of control, and he jumped the wall in a hurry to kill the prince. He failed, and wanted to make a play to knock Han Jiao unconscious before running away, but he was shot dead by the Ninth Prince in the process, in fact, he had no intention of killing Han Jiao."

King Yan was laughed out of anger, and looked at Liu Tong helplessly: "Does the kidnapper have the intention to kill Han Jiao? Should I believe these testimonies, or should I believe what my ninth brother saw with his own eyes?"

Liu Tong was speechless again.

"Forget it, Master Liu, my sixth younger brother is devoted to Han Jiao, so let's not be villains here." The eldest prince stood up, looked at King Yan with a disappointed expression, and said lightly: "You only want to believe what you want to see In the end, no matter how much other people tried to persuade you, it would be of no avail. You don’t have to listen to your elder brother’s advice, but you can’t upset Elder Xu Ge’s heart just because of a new counselor. He spent so much effort to find out these doubts for you , just to make you wary. Even if it is respect for Mr. Xu Ge, at least let your new counselor move back to your own house first? Why do you have to move Han Jiao’s whole family to your own house? There is no need to marry a wife You are so thoughtful, do you want to honor the elders for him?"

King Yan's face turned red when he was ridiculed by these words, and he argued: "The reason why I brought him to my side is not because Zhou Zhaokun threatened his and his family's lives!"

"Now that the general situation is set, the elders of Li Ge don't dare to make trouble anymore. You should send your 'Eternal Wizard' home first." The eldest prince said earnestly: "This kid will have to stay in the Imperial Academy for at least a year. Now he has no power and power, how many eyes are watching him when you worship him as a Buddha, don’t you put him on fire? The more he is like this, the more he will become the target of public criticism.”

King Yan thought for a while, then frowned and said, "After all, you just want him not to stay by my side, right?"

Liu Tong hurriedly said, "Ge Lao is exactly what he meant."

King Yan shook his head: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Han himself is not willing to live in my other courtyard. After his father was released from prison, every time he came to my residence, he would ask to move back to the original residence. It is my fault. After persuading him to stay for a longer period of time, the master reluctantly stayed. Since Mr. Ge has this intention, next time the king will not try to persuade him to stay, so there is no need to worry for no reason."

King Yan finally backed down a step, and Liu Tong and the two of them accepted as soon as they saw a good deal, and said goodbye.

sunset.

After practicing Cuju for more than an hour, when Han Jiao rode his donkey back to Daofu Lane, beads of sweat still hung on his forehead and neck.

From afar, he saw the eunuchs of the palace waiting in the alley, and when he saw Han Jiao, he smiled and bowed to meet him.

Han Jiao hurriedly got off the donkey and asked what was the matter.

The eunuch said that King Yan had invited him, so Han Jiao went to the palace with him.

Almost every evening, the King of Yan would invite him to drink tea and talk, which is not unusual.

"Sir, you came back late today, are you busy with official business in the Imperial Academy?" King Yan asked curiously.

"Oh, no, after work was over, Wei Chen and his colleagues went to the Cuju field." Han Jiao confessed frankly.

"Mister can play cuju?" Yan Wang was pleasantly surprised: "Why didn't you say it earlier? This king has always been worried: Mr. doesn't like to play chess, and he doesn't like to drink and enjoy himself. He simply doesn't know how to please..."

Han Jiao explained: "This is actually the first time I play Cuju, and I'm not good at it. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany His Highness in the short term."

"So..." King Yan nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Which colleagues did you go with?"

Without thinking too much, Han Jiao told the names of the accompanying officials one by one.

King Yan listened carefully, and when he heard one of the names, his lips suddenly pursed.

Only then did Han Jiao suddenly realize that something was wrong, and immediately calmed down, focusing on answering King Yan's question.

"Should I keep a distance from my colleagues?" Han Jiao took the initiative to ask King Yan's meaning after reporting his name.

King Yan thought for a while, and then said frankly: "The Zhang Chongxi you just mentioned is a fellow of Zhou Zhaokun."

The new batch of Scholars in the Imperial Academy had already been found out by Xu Ge's elders. This Zhang Chongxi had long gone to Zhou Zhaokun's mansion to pay homage to the mountain, and Xu Ge had also truthfully reported the truth to King Yan.

Han Jiao's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "It's the minister who was negligent!"

"Hey——" King Yan hurriedly stood up and said, "Sir, don't misunderstand. This king has promised that he will never let you down, and you will never be suspicious of him. It's just that other than me, you have to make others feel at ease. Elder Ge copied the secret letter for me to investigate the details for you, and you must be careful in the future."

It is 100% sincerity to share Elder Xu Ge's secret letter with him. Han Jiao was moved at first, and then became suspicious.

King Yan seemed to trust him very much, but he had to be so cautious about the "others". Obviously, this "others" had a high status in King Yan's heart.

If things go on like this, no matter how strong the trust is, it will not be able to withstand the continuous slander from the people close to it.

After thinking for a while, Han Jiao made up his mind, looked up at King Yan, and asked seriously: "Excuse me, dare to ask who this 'other person' is? Why do you feel uneasy about this minister? I want a chance to prove myself."
