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

"He...is studying, a girl who sings an opera." Xie Xiu, who had been observing silently, mustered up the courage to participate in the discussion, because he finally figured out what the eighth brother, who was twisting and blinking, wanted to do.

The princes and Han Jiao were taken aback for a moment, and they all turned to look at Xie Xiu.

Xie Xiu's eyes stopped on Xie Jing.

"That's right." Xie Duo was the first to react, and immediately encouraged Seventh Brother to participate in the topic: "Lao Ba is learning how to sing in opera."

Xie Jing was flattered, it was the first time Brother Seven took the initiative to talk to him, he was a little shy, and quickly responded modestly: "Isn't it ugly if you don't study well?"

Xie Xiu thought for a moment with a blank face, and answered rigorously: "Yes."

"Thank you." Xie Jing painfully accepted Lao Qi's affirmation, and continued to approach Lao Qi: "Seventh brother, I also want to play football with you."

The request was made suddenly, and the well-behaved Xie An looked nervously at Mr. Han, wondering if he could ask Lao Qi so directly.

Han Jiao was also observing Xie Xiu's reaction.

Xie Xiu didn't show a look of panic and resistance, but just looked ahead, as if thinking.

Everyone waited with bated breath for his answer.

Xie Xiu finally spoke: "Today's banquet, I can't play football."

Xie Jing's eyes lit up immediately: "Then is it okay next time? I want to play football with Seventh Brother!"

Xie Xiu was silent, and turned his head to look at Lao Ba with a scrutinizing gaze.

I don't know if it's an illusion, although Xie Xiu is still expressionless, but Han Jiao feels that he looks at the Eighth Prince with disgust.

Xie Xiu stared at Lao Ba, and said solemnly: "You promise that you will not twist around like Huadan, and you can play football together. A Duo doesn't like you twisting around."

"Hahahahahaha!" The young Xie An was the first to stomp his feet and laugh: "Mynah is too ugly! Even Seventh Brother stepped forward and banned it!"

"Okay, okay! I won't learn! I won't learn!" Xie Jing was very happy, and immediately changed the way of entertainment, and made a suggestion: "I don't play football today, I can play dice, bet on big and small, and have fun with big brother's house." It's the same game, lose once, and take off a piece of clothes!"

This is also the game that Lao Ba saw his brothers playing with girls at the First Prince's Mansion, it was very exciting.

In order to arouse the interest of the brothers, Lao Ba put his hands on his shoulders, imitating the seductive woman in the eldest prince's mansion, squeezed his voice and winked at Xie Duo: "Would you like to see the color of the apron of the servant's house?"

"Come here." Xie Duo gave an order: "Tie up Lao Ba's hands, and don't let him take off his clothes."

Xie An couldn't bear it any longer: "Brother Myna respects himself! I'm still young, Brother Six said I can't see this!"

Seeing this, Lao Ba became even more excited, and was about to open the front to reveal his "fragrant shoulders" and continue to disgust his younger brothers. When Mr. Li Ge came back, the "missing boy" was so scared that he quickly closed the front.

Because there were not many guests, Mr. Li Ge arranged a banquet in the main hall. With him personally sitting in charge, the eighth and ninth princes didn't dare to make any more noise and ate in a proper manner.

After all, there is a big age difference, and as both courtiers, no matter how flexible Mr. Li Ge is, he can't get along with the princes like Han Jiao. At the dinner table, he talked with Han Jiao about the political affairs of "reforming the land and returning to the people".

Mr. Li Ge said that the cabinet's bill had been handed over to the emperor, and Mr. Xu Ge proposed the policy of running schools in Sichuan and Guizhou, which was approved by the emperor.

This policy was Han Jiao's suggestion to the King of Yan. When Li Ge suddenly mentioned it, Han Jiao could only pretend to be ignorant, lest Li Ge would guess that he had a private relationship with the King of Yan.

After eating, Xie Jing saw that Li Ge was still discussing political affairs with Han Jiao in a low voice, so he patted a few brothers and suggested secretly going to the garden to play football.

So, the princes retreated furtively, leaving Mr. Li Ge alone with Mr. Xiaobai.

Li Ge always sees through and doesn't tell the truth, and when the princes have left, he sighs: "Old man, I have become a burden to the princes everywhere. Back then, when I was still King Kang's attendant, I used to accompany the prince to go hunting in Cuju. Now, The emperor is busy with government affairs and has no intention of entertaining."

Han Jiao thought to himself: Kang Wang is the current emperor, and Li Ge used to be Kang Wang's attendant. No wonder the attendant went from the attendant to the prince Zhan Shi, the bachelor in charge of the academy, and then to the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the second assistant of the cabinet. The rocket-like promotion speed, It turned out that he was the emperor's teacher.

"The princes respect you very much." Han Jiao said honestly, "They don't behave so well in front of other teachers."

"Especially in front of Mr. Han." Li Ge said with a smile: "Even at your age, I can't get along with the princes. I don't know what trick Mr. Han has. The king contacts other princes."

Han Jiao lowered his head and replied, "His Royal Highness King Ling brought his brothers to Duanwang's mansion as guests. King Duan is their older brother, so they got to know each other a few times. Thanks to King Ling's connection, I dare not take credit for my humble position."

Mr. Li Ge restrained his smile, and said seriously: "I have spent seven years, but I have not been able to make King Duan face outsiders calmly. Can King Ling change his attitude like this just by visiting the door with his brothers a few times?" ?”

Han Jiao nodded and remained silent.

He really didn't dare to confess too much about the treatment process, and always felt that if he revealed a little more, the old fox would see through his plan to draw money from the bottom.

"Are you worried that this old man will prevent you from getting in touch with Xie Xiu?" Elder Li Ge looked at Han Jiao: "Do you think this old man wants to hold Prince Duan firmly in his palm and prevent him from communicating with outsiders?"

"I dare not to be humble!"

"Don't dare to say it." Li Ge said with a wry smile: "Everyone thinks so. They all think that the old man curry favor with King Duan in order to take advantage of his status to hold power."

Han Jiao looked up at Elder Li Ge and said frankly: "I never think of such a low position. Seven years ago, King Duan lost his nurse and was almost insane. Not to mention that the ministers in the court are indifferent to him, even his brothers, even The empress is also helpless and has no hope for him. No matter how far-sighted you are, no one would have thought that King Duan would regain the emperor's love. I believe that you were out of pity for King Duan at the beginning."

Old Li Ge pursed his lips and shook his head: "This old man doesn't have your compassionate nature."

Han Jiao was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Mr. Li Ge suspiciously.

If it wasn't because of sympathy for King Duan, why did the old fox patiently teach King Duan in the first place?

Mr. Li Ge looked at the sunset outside the window, his thoughts went back to seven years ago, his eyes flashed with surprise again, and he murmured: "Prince Duan never brought books with him when he came to the study, he was always in a daze. , ignoring other people, and the waiter's repeated lectures didn't work, so I let him go. Day by day, the old man often listened to the waiter's complaints about him. But he found that the child could always pass the monthly test on the spot, and the policy theory was not good. Someone else wrote it, the old man tried again and again, he answered with a pen... Can you imagine? This kid actually memorized all the contents of the book in his mind! And he did not do this deliberately, as long as you give him a new book, He can memorize it after reading it once."

Li Ge's bright eagle eyes suppressed his approval: "This is a genius from heaven. As a teacher, how can I let the pearl be dusted? The old man used to be His Majesty's attendant. At that time, he was the head of the Imperial Academy. In his position It is the old man's duty to manage his affairs, fulfill his responsibilities, and teach King Duan carefully, but it is a pity that he did not do a good job."

He looked back at Han Jiao: "Now, everything is up to Mr. Han. You have a way to make King Duan behave like an ordinary person, and you can make the emperor feel at ease with him. How can the old man obstruct it?"

Han Jiao was stunned.

Indeed, making Xie Xiu more normal will not affect Xie Xiu's trust in Li Ge, but it will make the emperor feel at ease and make Xie Xiu his heir.

After all, what Li Gelao needs is not a complete puppet, he only needs Xinjun to believe in his loyalty and ability, so that he can display his ambitions.

On the contrary, it was Xie Xiu's current isolated appearance that made the emperor dare not appoint him as a heir at all, and only used him to check and balance King Yan.

"Xiaozhi understands the painstaking efforts of elder Ge, and will definitely do his best." Han Jiao finally expressed his attitude with peace of mind.

Elder Li Ge nodded approvingly, and then asked softly: "Can you allow King Duan to chat with people other than brothers? Other ministers, even His Majesty and Empress?"

"The minister should be fine." Han Jiao felt that the emperor was fine, but he couldn't guarantee that the empress would be in trouble.

Seven years ago, Xie Xiu suddenly went crazy and stripped the queen's clothes. He must have been stimulated for some reason, and then he was beaten up by King Yan. The queen must become an important memory that caused his traumatic disorder, just like King Yan, Xie Xiu couldn't face it.

Now, asking King Yan to cooperate with the treatment has failed, let alone the queen. Han Jiao has no chance to ask the queen to see him, so he is naturally not sure of repairing the relationship between mother and child.

"That's fine, it's enough to be able to chat with the ministers fluently." Li Ge looked at Han Jiao thoughtfully: "Master Han really is a genius born out of nowhere."

Han Jiao nodded and said, "Ge Lao is too famous."

"This statement is definitely not flattery. Mr. Han's strategy of running a school in Sichuan and Guizhou also made this old man enlightened."

Han Jiao was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly wanted to deny it, but Li Ge raised his hand to stop him, and continued: "Master Han, there is no need to hide it. The long-term strategy of allocating funds to run schools to assimilate the natives is by no means the old man Xu Ge's political thinking. After much deliberation, only you would offer this strategy to King Yan."

Han Jiao wanted to keep calm, but his heart was beating like thunder. The old fox could guess all of this!

"Master Han, don't be nervous. Everyone has their own ambitions. I won't force you." Li Ge said solemnly, "I just want to remind Master Han out of the heart of cherishing talents."

Han Jiao bowed and said, "Please enlighten me, Mr. Ge."

Old Li Ge said coldly: "If you are lucky enough to assist the government in the future, I will never bury such a practical talent like Mr. Han. But if Yuan Weng is in charge of the national weapon, Mr. Han had better think about retiring in advance to save his life. Yuan Weng When employing people, they only look at loyalty and don't ask about talent, and Mr. Han's nature is not restrained, so it may be difficult to work with him."

What the old fox said was true.

Elder Xu Ge is indeed a big problem, but King Yan also hates him very much. After he takes office, he will definitely try to regain his power and kick Elder Xu Ge.

Han Jiao felt that he should be able to survive, and even wanted to persuade Mr. Li to cooperate with him to kill Mr. Xu and assist King Yan together, but the situation was not yet ready.

Not long after the two chatted, the sky darkened, and Xie An's shout came from outside the door.

"Mr. Li Ge, Mr. Han, we are going back to the palace!"

Han Jiao was talking happily, and turned his head to the door and shouted: "Got it!"

"..." Mr. Li Ge couldn't bear to look directly at him and reminded: "Master Han, please accompany me to send your highnesses out of the palace."

"Oh, yes." Only then did Han Jiao remember the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, and hurriedly got up to follow Mr. Li Ge out.
