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

The encounter with Mr. Li Ge came too suddenly.

Han Jiao's original plan was to first help King Yan get rid of the eldest prince who was suspected of being a traitor, and then cut off the high-ranking Duan Wang party in the court one by one.

However, the case of killing Liang and committing meritorious service, as Han Jiao's last resort, not only cleared King Yan's grievances, but also affected the interest groups of the entire Ministry of War along Zhao Liang's line.

Therefore, King Yan had Zhou Zhaokun's handle, and Han Jiao's deeds may have alarmed Zhou Zhaokun's father-in-law, Mr. Li Ge.

As the scheming second assistant of the cabinet in the original book, the elder Li Ge in front of him is far from Han Jiao's imagination.

I thought it would be that kind of smiling tiger with a gentle temperament, but I didn't expect that this old man actually had a spirit of immortality, and his speech and behavior were very bold, completely different from the courtiers he imagined.

After thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising. If even Han Jiao could see the old guy's treacherous and cunning character, how could the emperor trust him so much?

Han Jiao didn't dare to decline the invitation, so he could only follow Mr. Li Ge to a secluded flower hall in the manor.

I was very nervous. When I saluted just now, I deliberately didn't report my family name, because I didn't want Mr. Li to know that he was the Han Jiao who investigated the accounts and solved the case in three days and punished the Ministry of War.

Hiding it like this is obviously deception. A person of Li Ge's level really wants to trouble him, so there is no need to do it himself.

Thinking of this, Han Jiao decided to be more magnanimous. When he saw King Duan watering the flowers under the verandah of the flower hall, he immediately saluted and said loudly: "Han Jiao, a minister of the Hanlin Academy, see His Royal Highness Duan Wang."

At the moment when he announced his name, Han Jiao stared closely at Mr. Li Ge from the corner of his eye.

The old man didn't change his mood at all, without even looking at him, he calmly stepped forward, took the kettle from Duan Wang's hand, and told His Highness to go back to the room and sit down.

His attitude towards King Duan was not flattering, but rather like an ordinary elder's serious concern for a child with a bit of dissatisfaction.

King Duan didn't respond to greetings, just like the first time they met, he completely ignored Han Jiao, turned and walked into the flower hall expressionlessly.

It was Li Ge who turned around and greeted Han Jiao: "Your Highness doesn't like red tape, and we will meet in private in the future. Master Han can skip the etiquette and come in and sit down."

Han Jiao could only nod his head and follow through the door.

Mr. Li Ge sat down in the armchair beside King Duan, and he was not at all formal. He really looked like an elder of King Duan. When he looked up and saw Han Jiao still standing, he smiled slightly and said softly, "Master Han was born in a haughty and arrogant manner." The old man has heard about the name, so there is no need to stick to it here, please sit down."

"You made me laugh." As expected, the old man had already figured out his details, and said it so frankly. Han Jiao was surprised, and sat down calmly.

Mr. Li Ge neither pretended not to know him, nor did he show any hostility, as if Zhou Zhaokun's troubles had nothing to do with him, and Han Jiao really couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

"Sure enough, it's just like the rumors." Li Ge looked at Han Jiao with fixed eyes: "He is a young man who is quick-witted but out of gregarious." He raised his hand and pointed at Han Jiao reproachfully, criticizing: "This temper is a big one in the temple. avoid."

Han Jiao nodded his head and admitted his mistake: "In a lowly position, he is dull, straightforward and clumsy since he was a child, easy to offend people, and has few friends."

Mr. Li Ge shook his head: "If you are such an extremely intelligent child, if you really knew your mistake, you would have corrected it long ago. It can be seen that you are not only unwilling to change, but are proud of it. Will become a guest on the river."

Han Jiao raised his eyes and looked at each other. Not sure if this remark was to persuade him to retire, he tentatively said, "Maybe I am indeed not suitable for an official position. Even if it is as the old man expected, Han has no regrets, just do his best to obey the destiny."

"It's a pity if the imperial court lacks practical talents like you. I have read the Hong Fan Policy Theory you wrote more than ten times. There are many hidden political opinions that coincide with what I think, and many of them are beyond my imagination. Your argument." Li Ge looked at Han Jiao with a pair of sharp eagle eyes, and said seriously: "For example, in the policy discussion on the devaluation of the big Chu treasure banknotes in this dynasty, your opinion seems to be on the top of Mount Tai, and you can see the whole situation. This old man was amazed."

Han Jiao was also surprised. In that policy theory, the most easily overlooked by people of this era is the issue of inflation.

Han Jiao rewrote the relevant arguments, which had been ignored before. Li Ge was the first to see the importance of this argument.

A sense of sympathy and sympathy arises spontaneously, and the ensuing conversation loses the aura of vigilance.

Han Jiao explained in detail the relationship between necessary conditions such as reserve funds and sustained economic stability, and currency preservation.

Mr. Li Ge listened tirelessly, and if he didn't understand something, he stopped the explanation, and was not ashamed to ask his subordinates. After a while, he finally understood Han Jiao's general idea.

Immediately afterwards, Li Gelao put forward his practical understanding of the current situation in Dachu, in order to correct the unrealistic part of Han Jiao's opinion.

The two, one fictional and the other real, complement each other's views, and quickly put together a practical policy argument.

Han Jiao couldn't help being a little excited and a little scared.

Excited is the first time in this era to meet a ruler with such a strategic height, and fear is that this destined enemy is much more terrifying than he imagined.

Mr. Li Ge is not like the treacherous official in the original book who only framed loyal and loyal cliques for personal gain. If he did not really want to do practical things for the country and the people, he would not be able to understand the knowledge points mentioned by Han Jiao. He obviously tried hard to think about what he had done. these questions.

Maybe everything is just old Li Ge's disguise, then this person is really unfathomable.

Han Jiao hasn't figured out why the old man treats each other so sincerely and wins him over?

Could this be the reason why Duan Wang's party separated him from Yan Wang?

Li Ge wanted to use him for his own use because he liked his talent?

Han Jiao really didn't dare to think too highly of himself in front of this old fox, but according to the current situation, Li Ge's attitude did have this tendency.

At this moment, Duan Wang, who had been tampering with the flowers and plants in the bamboo basket in silence, suddenly turned his head to Elder Li Ge and said, "Sir, you tied these two kinds of flowers together."

Mr. Li Ge came back to his senses, turned his head to look at the flowers in the prince's hand, thought for a moment, then patted his head with a smile: "I just forgot it for a while, I am really confused, don't worry, Your Highness, I will go later I'll find you two bunches."

"No need." Duan Wang held the flowers in front of Li Ge's eyes and said, "There are flower bones wrapped around them, they are not mixed together."

Old Li Ge nodded: "That's good."

Looking back, seeing Han Jiao's bewildered face, Li Ge explained: "The seventh prince is afraid of strangers and rarely talks to strangers. He loves to study the pharmacology of plants and trees. When he focuses on plants and plants, he often ignores me. I hope Mr. Han will not be offended."

Han Jiao: "..."

The problem of people with Asperger's syndrome is not just ignoring people. Li Ge is smart enough, but why did he hang himself on Duan Wang's crooked neck tree?

The emperor's direct sons are only three princes, the sixth, the seventh and the ninth. King Yan is the eldest son of Zheng'er Bajing, and he is also the most suitable person among the three to be emperor.

Duan Wang has this kind of congenital disease, obviously he can only be the puppet of Mr. Li Ge.

As for King Xianyuling, Han Jiao suspected that this guy might be the smartest of his brothers, but he had no interest in government affairs. If it wasn't for some reason that the brothers turned against each other, Han Jiao estimated that the boss of Xianyu would not do the hard work of the emperor even if he died.

From the current point of view, if King Duan can be freed from Li Gelao's control, even if he takes the bottom line, no matter how clever Li Gelao is, he will never be able to sit on the throne by himself.

Previously, Han Jiao had given up trying to reverse the fate of King Duan because he could not communicate with him. But just now after talking with Mr. Li Ge, Han Jiao found that the difficulty of defeating Mr. Li Ge was probably more difficult than communicating with King Duan.

So I have to try to get in touch with the unlucky boy Duan Wang.

Seeing Han Jiao looking at King Duan from time to time, Li Ge stood up and waved to Han Jiao to let him take his place next to King Duan.

Just as Han Jiao was about to resign, Elder Li Ge spoke first.

He lowered his eyes and said kingly to Duan: "Your Highness, this is Mr. Han Jiaohan, the pillar of our Great Chu." After speaking, he explained to Han Jiao: "Your Highness is only willing to call you Mr. Old Man, and I have wronged Mr. Han."

"Don't dare." Han Jiao responded with a nod of his head, "Your Highness, please call me by my name directly."

Duan Wang didn't lift his head.

Elder Li Ge nodded to Han Jiao, and motioned for him to sit down again.

Since the old man wanted him to have a good relationship with King Duan, Han Jiao didn't refuse. He saluted and sat down beside King Duan. He cleared his throat solemnly, but he didn't know how to start a conversation.

Although he knows a lot of precious flowers and plants, he doesn't know what role these flowers and plants have in traditional Chinese medicine.

Li Ge glanced at the coffee table, turned his head and told the attendants: "The tea is cold, replace the guests with the tea from the village."

Han Jiao politely declined: "Your Excellency, don't bother, the warm tea just happens to be in your mouth, and Mr. Han's family is poor, and he is used to drinking plain water since he was a child, so he can't taste the quality of the tea, and the good tea is ruined."

Just as Li Ge was about to speak, Duan Wang, who was playing with flowers and plants, suddenly repeated Han Jiao's words in a low voice——

"I'm used to drinking plain water."

"I'm used to drinking white water, I'm used to drinking white water, I'm used to drinking white water..." Xie Xiu lowered his head and began to repeat Han Jiao's words louder and louder.

Han Jiao was taken aback, not knowing why his words had hit the unlucky boy, so he hurriedly stood up in fright, staring at Xie Xiu's every move in astonishment.

When such patients are anxious and tense, they are prone to this kind of behavior of repeating words or actions. If they cannot be appeased in time, they are likely to lose control.

"Your Highness!" Li Ge hurriedly stepped forward, bent over and held Xie Xiu's hands, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be nervous! Your Highness, what's wrong? Tell me what's wrong."

"I'm used to drinking white water... I'm used to drinking white water..." Xie Xiu calmed down slowly, and looked up at Han Jiao, his eyes were a little red.

But then, his expression returned to blankness, he lowered his head again, and continued to play with flowers and plants, as if nothing had happened just now.

Han Jiao's tense nerves relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

When this type of patient loses control, he may hurt others or himself. It doesn't matter if he hurts others, but self-injury is a big deal. The sinner who caused the prince to self-mutilate must be blamed.

Han Jiao became more and more unconfident. He was afraid that there would be no shortcuts. It was much safer to fight with Li Ge honestly than to approach Duan Wang.

"It's all right." Elder Li Ge nodded to Han Jiao again, told him to sit down, and continued talking with King Duan.

Although he knew that such an exchange might never get Xie Xiu any response, but Li Ge sincerely wanted to give it a try.

Try to make Han Jiao discover the loveliness of King Duan, and make him believe that King Duan is worthy of assistance.

"You are very much like the old man when you were young."

When Han Jiao sat down again, he heard Mr. Li Ge say these words suddenly.

"Try to truly feel His Highness's joy and anger." Li Gelao said: "Nothing His Highness does is malicious to you, but he is very clear about your kindness and hostility."

After finishing speaking, Li Ge said that he was going out to meet other guests, leaving only Han Jiao to communicate with Duan Wang alone.

In the flower hall, Xie Xiu and Han Jiao sat next to each other, while the attendants stood far away.

Han Jiao swallowed, and his fists rested on his knees, trembling with tension.

The sentence "I'm used to drinking white water" just now made Xie Xiu almost lose control for no reason, and Han Jiao didn't know what to say.

"You smell like freshly baked biscuits." Xie Xiu suddenly said this.

Han Jiao was stunned for a while, then looked around from the corner of the eye, then slowly turned his head to look at Xie Xiu who was playing with flowers and plants, and asked softly, "Your Highness is talking to the minister?"

"There are also overcooked leeks." Xie Xiu said another word.

Han Jiao's brain raced around in order to keep up with the patient's brain circuit.

Finally, he figured it out.

The bag of leek pancakes prepared in the morning, Han Jiao kept carrying them into the Hanlin Academy in his bosom, and took them out until noon to finish his work, so the smell of leek pancakes might still remain on his body.

This unlucky child has a sharper nose than a puppy.

"Your Highness is right, I did eat pancakes and leeks today."

Xie Xiu still didn't turn his head to look at him, but said blankly: "There are very few men your age who need to replenish yang."

"..." Han Jiao barely choked.

There was a long silence.

Although it was hard to talk to King Duan and he shouldn't refute King Duan's point of view, Han Jiao still couldn't help explaining out of the dignity of a man: "I don't eat leeks for... that, but I just happen to eat them in the morning. Pancakes stuffed with leeks."

Xie Xiu suddenly turned his head, stared at Han Jiao blankly, and questioned: "Chives are not delicious."

Han Jiao: "... Different people actually have slightly different tastes."

Xie Xiu didn't refute, but just stared at Han Jiao with emotionless eyes, scanning Han Jiao's face repeatedly like a precise calculation machine.

After a while, Xie Xiu lowered his eyes, continued to play with flowers and plants, and said lightly: "You really need to eat more leeks."

Han Jiao: "..."

Tell me what you mean by that!

I felt sorry for you when I saw it, but I didn't expect you to be such a prince!

There is no difference in the level of beating you owe to your own brother!

The author has something to say: If you have a bad sense of smell, don’t smell it. Your ninth brother thinks it smells like cotton candy.
