"I'm thinking..." Han Jiao looked at the big boss with piercing eyes, "Your Highness is familiar with the art of war, is there a way to capture those [-] refugees alive?"

Xie Duo was stunned when he heard this, and before he could answer, Elder Xu Ge corrected him: "Those 3 people are no longer refugees, they have to be called traitors, and they will be questioned even if they are captured alive. I'm afraid they won't be able to become naturalized in the new county."

Han Jiao turned to look at Elder Xu Ge with a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and said, "My lord, the refugees cannot be blamed for all the crimes. The chief culprit who caused the civil uprising is the right-handed censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

Elder Xu Ge's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?"

Han Jiao immediately told Elder Xu Ge what happened yesterday, and said furiously: "This lord Yushi has driven good refugees to a dead end just to deal with his errands. If all the officials in the court regard human life as nothing like him , isn't my father who loves the people like a son..."

"Lord Han." Old Xu Ge hurriedly interrupted his words to prevent him from accidentally uttering misfortune, and calmly persuaded him: "In this way, I also blame the old man for being careless. That censor insisted on following the old rules It’s true that I don’t know how to be flexible in handling affairs, and the refugees in the past have never rebelled because of this, but since there is a disturbance this time, the imperial court will definitely learn a lesson, and must refer to Lord Han’s appeasement strategy in the future.”

When Han Jiao heard this, his heart suddenly turned cold.

The meaning of Mr. Xu Ge's words is obvious, that is to say, the censor's handling of affairs according to the law can only be regarded as incomprehensible at best, and cannot be regarded as instigating civil uprisings.

The number of casualties was within a reasonable range, but Xu Ge secretly blamed the [-] rebellious refugees in an old saying, because "there were no previous refugees who rebelled because of this."

It's all the victim's fault!

Han Jiao was furious.

Panting and trembling a bit.

The dog official didn't make him so desperate before, because after all, the censor was just a small guy in the officialdom, and Xu Ge is always the current chief assistant, with such an attitude, can the court be expected to care about the people?

But thinking about it carefully, he should have guessed that Mr. Xu Ge is this kind of person.

Xu Gelao was loyal to King Yan in the original book, but in the final analysis, he was trying to stabilize his position as the number one prime minister.

When reading the book, Yan Wang is the protagonist, and Xu Ge is also reliable in his work, so Han Jiao has no ill feeling towards him.

But after King Yan ascended the throne, the old man's method of purging the prince's remnant party was too harsh, which made Han Jiao feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, Xie Duo had already committed suicide at that time, and before he died, he also helped King Yan remove other obstacles, which can be regarded as paying off, and it is impossible for Xu Ge to create a special case of treason.

Thinking about it now, Mr. Xu Ge only valued power and status. In his eyes, being ignorant of flexibility and disregarding human life is not a serious crime, but disobedience to his orders and lack of loyalty are unforgivable sins.

Han Jiao even suspected that the reason why King Yan wanted to avoid suspicion was not only because of the eldest prince's slander, but also because of old Xu Ge's defensiveness. After all, what the old man really valued was not the ability of his subjects, but the quality of his subordinates. Loyalty, even if there is a trace of suspicion in Han Jiao, Elder Xu Ge will not allow him to stay by King Yan's side.

This old man is not as old as Li Ge.

Han Jiao suddenly had such an idea.

Although the elder Li Ge in the original book has always had the ambition to manipulate the puppet to control the government, in essence, he wants to obtain the highest authority so that he can display his ability to govern the country.

At this moment, Han Jiao actually understood Li Ge's obsession with the power of the court.

Watching the officers and soldiers oppressing the people yesterday, Han Jiao had the urge to wish he could become the emperor and command the world. Thinking about it, the young Li Ge also experienced such a powerless situation, and finally indulged his desire for power step by step.

Seeing that Han Jiao stopped talking, Xu Ge smiled and said goodbye.

Han Jiao came back to his senses, followed Mr. Xu Ge relentlessly, and argued for the group of refugees: "At first, the imperial court asked the refugees to gather in the north of the city and wait for resettlement, and not to disturb the public order in the capital. Those refugees obediently obeyed They starved in the corner of the imperial city without complaining or urging, and only waited for the imperial court to fulfill their promise with expectant eyes. After waiting for two full days and nights, without any comfort, the imperial court suddenly sent troops. Drive them out of the city! Elder Ge should understand that these disaster victims have been driven and beaten by guards from various states and counties all the way. Now that they have arrived in the imperial city, this is their last hope. Even if they stay in the most inconspicuous corner, they I still believe that Father Jun has them in his heart. None of the victims want to make trouble, if the censor who resettled the refugees had a little patience, why would they end up in a dead end?"

Old Xu Ge's face changed slightly, he was obviously angry, how could the Zhima official of the Hanlin Academy complain for the common people in front of him, the chief assistant?

It's just that the Ninth Prince is still standing there stupidly. As the chief assistant, Xu Ge is inconvenient to argue with an obscure editor of the Imperial Academy, so he can only snipe in a friendly manner, and in front of the Ninth Prince, expose Han Jiao's shortcomings: "Master Han Every word weeps blood, and the heart of love for the people moved the old man. Yesterday, the old man intended to let Mr. Han serve as an imperial envoy to resettle the refugees. Unfortunately, Mr. Han is indifferent to fame and wealth and refused to accept the actual position. Otherwise, today's catastrophe could have been avoided. .”

"..."

Han Jiao seemed to have been slapped hard, staring blankly at Elder Xu Ge, speechless.

"This rebellion must be dealt with urgently," Elder Xu Ge nodded kindly to the Ninth Prince and saluted: "The old minister will leave first."

After finishing speaking, he hurried into Wenhua Hall, leaving Han Jiao standing still.

The Ninth Prince stood behind Han Jiao, not knowing what to say for a while, the little child prodigy seemed to be very emotionally broken.

"The cabinet will handle the refugee issue properly." Xie Duo comforted people with a rare seriousness: "When the time comes, I can let my father be punished lightly."

A moment of silence.

"I can't say enough about him." Han Jiao said in a hoarse voice.

"What?" Xie Duo didn't understand, but saw the little prodigy turning around slowly, looking at him with red eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "I can't say no to Xu Ge."

The little prodigy's mood was very abnormal, Xie Duo nodded in agreement: "Mr. Xu Ge is very eloquent."

Han Jiao's voice was even more aggrieved: "According to what he said, it's because I didn't take the responsibility?"

Xie Duo subconsciously took a step back, don't turn his head away from looking at the little prodigy, and reminded in a low voice with majesty: "Your eyes are red."

Han Jiao smashed the jar, and grimaced at the big boss!

Seeing it from the corner of his eyes, Xie Duo gasped, grabbed the tassel of the jade pendant on his waist with one hand, and warned nervously: "Han Xiaobai, you won't cry, will you?"

A boy of this age is not good at dealing with the sadness of others, and the tears in Han Jiao's eyes made the Ninth Prince at a loss.

If it wasn't Elder Xu Ge who offended Han Jiao, Xie Duo had dragged out the culprit by now and let Han Jiao deal with it himself.

If he loses a quarrel with Xu Ge, even his father can only admit defeat. Xie Duo hopes that the little prodigy will know it and stop staring at him with teary eyes immediately, which will make him feel incompetent.

"Why didn't your Highness speak!" Han Jiao, who couldn't wait for the comfort of the salted fish boss, lost control of his emotions.

Xie Duo no longer dared to look at the little prodigy, and looked at the white cloud in the distance: "What do you want me to say."

"Is it the minister's fault that the refugees lost control!" Han Jiao was extremely aggrieved.

"It's that censor's fault." The Ninth Prince rushed to answer.

Han Jiao felt a little better in his heart. He took a step forward and looked at the big boss expectantly: "Those disaster victims have just waited too long in anxiety. They are not traitors. If the army is sent out to suppress them, more than half of them may die."

Xie Duo comforted, "Maybe they will go down the mountain and surrender after they finish eating the food."

Han Jiao retorted: "They are already frightened. They would rather risk their lives to break through than trust the court. The bigger problem is that the court will not wait for them to finish their food. The officers and soldiers may directly set fire to the mountain..."

Xie Duo nodded: "It makes sense."

Han Jiao said decisively: "I want to save them, as much as I can."

Xie Duo wondered, "How to save?"

"This is exactly the question I want to ask Your Highness." Han Jiao looked at the big boss expectantly: "Is there any way, Your Highness, to capture the refugees alive on the mountain?"

Xie Duo replied: "Whether they live or not depends on themselves. If they try their best to resist, it is impossible for the officers and soldiers not to fight back."

Han Jiao suddenly froze, and murmured in despair: "Even His Highness can't do it?"

Xie Duo was taken aback, his fighting spirit was aroused by these words, and he stared down at the little prodigy and retorted: "There is nothing in this world that this king cannot do."

Han Jiao's eyes lit up, and he hugged the big boss's arm: "Really? Then Your Highness will follow me to the outside of the city! Your Highness, please come and take command!"

The attendants at the gate of the Wenhua Palace were all peeping, wanting to learn the tricks of the little talent from the Imperial Academy to curry favor with the Ninth Prince, the more they looked, the more confused they became...

This kind of clinging tactic...will be torn to pieces by the Ninth Prince if it is not used well?

Xie Duo noticed the peeping eyes around him, pulled out the arm held by the little prodigy, grabbed Han Jiao's arm instead, walked quickly all the way to the corner of the palace alley, put down the little prodigy, and replied seriously: " The resettlement of refugees is a matter for the cabinet, I cannot intervene, and the army will not listen to my transfer."

Han Jiao came up with an idea: "Your Highness can ask the emperor to accept your responsibility."

Xie Duo looked disgusted: "If the father participates in appeasing the refugees, the father will also bear the responsibility for the casualties of the refugees and officers and soldiers, so the father cannot be involved at all. Only when the rebellion is quelled as soon as possible, the cabinet will report to the imperial court."

This statement awakened Han Jiao.

It turns out that the so-called hoodwinking is not because the emperor was really kept in the dark, but pretending not to know. In the end, no matter how big the disaster is, the blame will be borne by the officials below. By mistake.

In the past, Han Jiao disliked King Yan's head too hard, and he didn't know how to avoid it. At this juncture, he realized how rare the King Yan is who has the courage to carry the people.

"Is there no other way?" Han Jiao was full of despair.

Seeing that the eyes of the little prodigy started to turn red again, Xie Duo was inexplicably a little impatient. He frowned and thought about it carefully, and then replied, "Go to look for Sixth Brother, Xu Ge always listens to Sixth Brother, and Sixth Brother asks Xu Ge to listen to my command, I can help."

"Yes... yes! You can go to His Royal Highness King Yan!" Han Jiao was so excited that he was about to jump up, grabbed the big boss's hand, turned around and ran towards the palace gate!

Before Xie Duo could react, he subconsciously withdrew his hand and pulled back the little prodigy who was hanging on his hand, lying down in his arms as soft as cotton.

"Hmm..." Although his nose hurt, Han Jiao buried himself in the big boss's chest without raising his head, and even let out a smirk twice.

The mentally disturbed little Mianmian rubbed Xie Duo's chest itchy, and his heartbeat became abnormal.

Han Jiao suddenly raised his head, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that were still flushed, he looked at Da Chu's greatest salted fish, and blowing rainbow fart from the bottom of his heart: "Your Highness, you are really amazing."
