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

"Knowing cuju is not enough." A boy panted and provoked: "The Ninth Prince can summon the river god, can you!"

Xie Duo's eyes narrowed, and he listened carefully: "What will you summon?"

"It's nothing!" Han Jiao was worried that Xie Duo would be forced to make a big noise, so that the whole village would know the nature of his stinky brother, so he hurriedly stood up and explained to the children: "This Highness is really yours. Great benefactor, Ninth Prince, please thank Your Highness for personally teaching you about Cuju skills."

Only then did the boys accept the cruel truth, and they said in unison in unison: "Thank you, Ninth Prince Qiantui, for your guidance."

"What's your attitude?" Xie Duo looked down at a group of children scrambling for the ball, and asked ferociously, "Aren't you happy to see your benefactor?"

Boys: "..."

Not far away came a childish response from a girl: "Happy."

Xie Duoxun looked around and found five or six girls standing behind a tree not far away, staring at him penetratingly.

The youngest of the girls was only five or six years old, and the older one was eleven or twelve years old. They had just been hiding behind a tree, timidly watching the Ninth Prince juggle the ball.

At this moment, when Xie Duo suddenly looked directly at her, the girls instantly froze to pieces.

Xie Duo twitched his lips, walked forward a few steps, and asked the group of girls loudly, "How about you? Are you happy to see me?"

The wheat-colored faces of the girls were instantly flushed.

The younger girl didn't know how to be shy, so she raised her head and replied excitedly: "Happy!"

"happy."

"We have been looking forward to seeing His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince..."

Someone took the lead, and the girls overcame their shame and expressed their joy one by one.

Xie Duo was much more satisfied with the attitude of these children. He raised his hand, threw the ball into the air, and said loudly, "Hey, this ball is for you."

As soon as the words fell, the falling ball was kicked out by Xie Duo, and flew towards one of the girls like lightning!

"boom--"

Before the girl raised her hand to catch the ball, she was hit on the head and fell straight backwards!

"Sister Aqiu? Sister Aqiu!"

"Three sisters!"

……

The Ninth Prince, who gave the gift with his feet, turned his head handsomely, and beckoned the little prodigy to follow him to see the other gifts brought by his brothers.

Han Jiao was really afraid that his younger brother's kick would knock the child unconscious. Just as he was about to go to help, he saw the girl who was hit was already sitting up, rubbing her head with red eyes, but fortunately she was not injured.

When he came to the entrance of the village, Xie Duo lifted the covers of seven or eight supply vehicles one after another.

Carloads of linen cotton, chickens, ducks and poultry, as well as pigs and sheep, lined up from the entrance of the village to the foot of the mountain in the distance, leaving Han Jiao dumbfounded.

King Yan and the other two princes came over and said that there were hundreds of oxen and donkeys sent to help the people plow the land and pull the mill. Because it was inconvenient to transport them by cart, they were still on their way.

Han Jiao was shocked, and looked at King Yan: "How much money will this cost?"

The third prince said with a smile: "These are the supplies we collected from the nobles and wealthy businessmen for half a month."

King Yan nodded and said: "Our brothers pledged 500 taels each, and we did what we could. The account is in the hands of Eunuch Liu, and I will let him bring it over later. I have to trouble Mr. to calculate the account and see how to divide these materials. to thirty thousand households."

Han Jiao was moved for the villagers, but the villagers dared not accept this great gift.

The elder with the highest seniority in the clan was pushed out and begged Han Jiao to let the princes take back the huge gift.

There are land to grow and houses to live in, and the victims have already expressed their gratitude. They are afraid that they will not be able to pay back so many supplies for a lifetime.

It took Han Jiao a long time to persuade the villagers to understand that this kindness does not ask for anything in return.

The unspeakable touch triggered the villagers' carnival, and the princes were invited to visit the village houses that the villagers were still building.

There were laughter and laughter all the way, and at noon, the princes went to rest in the tea shed, the third prince and King Yan sat at the table in the north, and the eighth and ninth princes were studying the flower drums tied around the villagers' waists.

"We just started building a house, and there is no decent place to rest your Highness." Han Jiao brought herbal tea himself.

King Yan took the tea, looked down at the rough wooden teacup, and sighed softly: "Mr.

Han Jiao sensed that there was something in his words, so he sat down beside him, smiled calmly and said, "How can it be considered alien?"

King Yan shook his head, looked up at Han Jiao, and said solemnly, "Have I let you down?"

Han Jiao was taken aback for a moment: "Why did Your Highness say that?"

Seeing Han Jiao's blank expression, the third prince kicked King Yan under the table to tell him not to talk too much.

King Yan did not hesitate, and took the initiative to confess to Han Jiao: "It seems that the master is still not clear, the two officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who are in charge of appeasing the people are both my king's people."

Han Jiao's eyes flashed.

He had already guessed that the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate belonged to Mr. Xu Ge, but he did not connect them with King Yan.

"It's the king who missed it." King Yan looked stern.

Han Jiao wanted to respond, but didn't know how to speak.

The problem was not with King Yan at all, what this incident exposed was the problem of Old Xu Ge.

Only looking for superficial political achievements, ignoring the lives of the people, Xu Ge died loyal to King Yan just to keep the power of the chief assistant, not for the righteousness of following the ancestral system and being loyal to the Mingjun.

Can you tell King Yan this?

In other words, is King Yan really completely unaware of Elder Xu Ge's behavior?

Probably not.

The reason why King Yan accepted the support of Elder Xu Ge was mainly because Elder Xu Ge was the only one in the court who had the ability to contend with the Duan Wang Party, and secondly because Elder Xu Ge was really doing his best to pave the way for him.

Elder Xu Ge couldn't do without King Yan, and King Yan couldn't do without Elder Xu either. Once the partnership broke up, neither of them would be opponents of Duan Wang's party.

In comparison, Han Jiao currently does not have enough status to cultivate his own forces. He is just a counselor who agrees with King Yan, and King Yan has no way to cut off his own brother for him.

"Your Highness, you don't have to blame yourself." Thinking of this, Han Jiao could only make peace: "The problems exposed by the Fumin case are not just those two officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Now that the emperor has dealt with the officials involved in the case himself, and has issued a public report to the whole country, the whole country knows it. In the future, from the middle to the localities, the atmosphere will definitely take on a new look."

"I hope so." King Yan gave Han Jiao a worried look.

Han Jiao frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "I plan to stay away from His Highness for more than a month, lest I really feel alienated from His Highness, I just hope that His Highness can confess any doubts."

King Yan said: "Of course I am not suspicious of my husband, but... I am worried that my husband will be disappointed in me."

Han Jiao asked, "Why does Your Highness have such concerns?"

King Yan sighed: "I heard that after the incident happened that day, sir went to the Wenhua Palace and asked Mr. Xu Ge to hold Fumin Yushi accountable. Mr. Xu Ge was eager to put down the chaos, so he rejected your request, which made you very disappointed. .”

Han Jiao was startled.

When the accident happened that day, Han Jiao went to Elder Xu Ge to stop the officers and soldiers from burning down the mountain. The reason for the quarrel was that Elder Xu Ge spoke in favor of the censor, not because Han Jiao was eager to pursue the responsibility.

It must be that Xu Ge was the one who complained first in front of King Yan, and described Han Jiao as a stunned young man who didn't care about priorities.

Han Jiao remained calm, and argued loudly: "When the incident happened, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince happened to be present. What is the subject of my arguing with Elder Ge, the Ninth Prince can testify for me."

King Yan asked Han Jiao why.

Han Jiao calmly told King Yan the truth.

When King Yan learned the truth, he immediately complained, but he hesitated to speak.

Han Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.Yan Wang obviously believed what he said, but it was inconvenient to complain about Xu Ge's favoritism in front of him.

"It's good to talk about it." The third prince said frankly: "Mr. Xu Ge is too vigilant. I believe that Mr. Han only cares about the refugees and has no selfish intentions."

Han Jiao looked at the third prince vigilantly: "What does His Highness mean by selfishness?"

The third prince realized that he had accidentally slipped the tongue, and looked up at the sixth younger brother who was pacing with his hands behind his back.

King Yan stopped when he heard the words, and confessed to Han Jiao: "Mr. Xu Ge said that you asked Mr. Li Ge for help in private, and went to the Ministry of Households to call for a batch of food urgently."

Han Jiao opened his eyes wide and stood up abruptly.

King Yan hurriedly comforted him and said: "Sir, don't worry, the food adjustment is also for the refugees. You had a dispute with Mr. Xu Ge at that time, and it is understandable that you turned to Mr. Li Ge for help. This king will never doubt Mr. because of this."

"I didn't ask Mr. Li Ge for help in private." Han Jiao said decisively: "The second wave of food was indeed dispatched urgently by Mr. Li Ge. I only learned about it on the day when I met His Majesty in the early pilgrimage. When the rebellion broke out, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers will set fire to the mountain at any time, so I asked the Ninth Prince to go to your house to convey the news, if I think of the food distribution at that time, I will definitely ask you for help, how could I turn to Elder Li Ge for help?"

King Yan thought about it carefully, and sighed: "That's true, indeed, Mr. Xu Ge is too worried."

Han Jiao nodded and remained silent.

How can this be called worrying too much?It was a malicious planting at all, it seemed that Xu Ge was always determined to kick him away.

Han Jiao remembered another matter, and said solemnly: "A while ago, I found out some accounts. It is a big matter. After returning to Beijing, I want to find a time to hand it over to Your Highness."

King Yan asked in a low voice, "What account?"

"Your Highness will know it at a glance."

"Who is it related to?"

Han Jiao thought for a while, then replied in a low voice, "Elder Prince."

Xu Ge was always gossiping beside King Yan, and he couldn't let the eldest prince "breathe the pillow". Han Jiao had to make King Yan vigilant in advance.

King Yan was startled, suppressed his emotions, took a sip of tea, and made an appointment with Han Jiao in a low voice for a private meeting in Beijing.

In the afternoon, the villagers were going to log in the forest.

Hearing that there might be wild beasts on the mountain, the third prince became interested, went to the car to get a bow and arrow, and took the eighth and ninth princes up the mountain to join in the fun.

The eighth prince excitedly invited Han Jiao to go up the mountain to play together. Han Jiao didn't want to climb the mountain, but said he wanted to stay to settle accounts and share supplies, but the eighth prince couldn't invite him no matter what.

"Are you afraid of encountering a tiger?" Xie Duoyang raised the bow and arrow in his hand: "With this king and this bow, Mr. Cotton can see the tiger with his own eyes without being eaten. This opportunity must never come again."

"..." Han Jiao quietly glared at his brother, and refused to go if he could not.

Who said that without Xie Duo, he couldn't live to see the tiger?As if he had never been to a zoo before!

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiaobai!" The eighth prince persevered in his invitation: "The three of us can protect you together!"

"I'm not afraid of encountering wild beasts." Han Jiao refused to admit his cowardice, so he had to confess: "There are few people on this mountain, and the mountain road is difficult..."

Seeing that Han Jiao was in trouble, the King of Yan immediately stepped forward and waved the old eight and the old nine to get out: "Go play on your own, and Mr. Han has to stay and run errands for the king."

"What's the matter?" Xie Duo immediately glared at Sixth Brother vigilantly, "You guys are staying in this broken tea shed with your hands empty, what's the matter?"

It was rare to see the cynical Ninth Brother look nervous, and King Yan was taken aback: "Why are you yelling?"

Xie Duo stared, then turned around and lifted the little child prodigy who was sitting by the table, and said ferociously, "Sir is my attendant. I have questions and I will ask him on the way. Please come up the mountain with me."

Han Jiao: "...Can't you finish asking here?"

"No." Xie Duo immediately took the little prodigy away from Sixth Brother.

Han Jiao roared in despair: "Okay, okay! I will go up the mountain with you! Please wait a moment, Your Highness, I will bring the donkey here."

A moment later, the reluctant Mr. Bai led his own reluctant little donkey and followed the princes to the foot of the mountain.

Han Jiao politely asked the princes if they wanted to ride his donkey, but both the third prince and the eighth prince refused.

Only the Ninth Prince, who had never ridden a donkey before, was a little curious, followed Han Jiao one by one, and climbed on the mount.

The donkey had never carried two people before, and the Ninth Prince jumped onto the mount in a very cool way. The moment he landed behind Han Jiao, the donkey was crushed and screamed!

Han Jiao touched his little donkey distressedly, flicked the rein, and set off up the mountain with hatred.

The donkey shivered on its four thin legs, barely walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped...

Han Jiao shook the rein embarrassingly, but the donkey remained motionless.

The stinky brother behind him asked suspiciously: "Have we reached the top of the mountain yet? Sir's donkey is so fast."

The author has something to say: Yan Wang: Damn it, it’s hard to have a time for two!

Xie Duo: You're thinking about farting.
