The source of this leak, there is no need to ask, it must be Prince Gong's Mansion, because the Forbidden City will be under the key in another hour, and the eunuchs and guards in the palace will not be able to come out at this point in time. And in Sijiu City, in addition to the Forbidden City, there is only Prince Gong's Mansion left who knows this news.

The fat eunuch who beat the maid has always been a master of making teahouses and gardens, and this guy has no sense of secrecy in his heart at all.

In Xiao Letian's previous life, many Eastern and Western scholars have also studied this phenomenon, that is, why is it difficult for Chinese to keep secrets, especially the masters in the four or nine cities under the feet of the Son of Heaven, why do they love to talk about state affairs so much?

In fact, the root cause is a question of face, I know but you don't know, when I divulge secrets to you, and your eyes are hungry, human vanity can be greatly inflated.

Another reason is very deep, Chinese have always worshiped high-ranking officials and politicians, and I can get a lot of gossip on politics, which shows that there are people above Lao Tzu... It doesn't matter if the person who picks vegetables in the prince's mansion or is in charge of the bailer mansion, anyway, to hear these top-secret news, it proves that I am closer to the government than you.

Not to mention that this illusory face is useless, the Chinese are very good at dividing people into three, six, nine and so on in life to treat them separately, sometimes it is too low-key and not good, so that everyone thinks you are a useless waste, then there will be more people who step on you.

In fact, the emergence of any kind of national character has a profound background, and even if it is a vice, there are deep social factors behind it.

For example, when the number of people in the society decreases sharply during a period of time, and people open their mouths and close their mouths to scold, you can rest assured that the sense of security given to the people by the society during this period is definitely very low.

Sometimes people open their mouths and shut up to swear, which seems to be a bad habit on the surface, but at a deeper level, it is not a kind of self-protection. I insult without purpose, I spit, I look at people with slanted eyes, what does I feel like? I'm just a hedgehog, just to show everyone that I'm not easy to mess with, and everyone wants to bully me.

As an aside, why do middle and high school children have a somewhat rebellious period? In fact, they subconsciously want to be rebellious to seek a sense of spiritual security.

I've grown up, I'm an adult male, I'm very powerful, you provoke me, be careful I'll fight back very fiercely. This cools the subconscious psychological appeal of many rebellious children.

In fact, after this period of time, when people mature, everyone will laugh at that rebellious period, because that kind of threatening display power is useless to human beings.

The topic returns to this big leak in the Jingshi, the news released by the fat eunuch has flown all over the streets and alleys in less than an hour, and all the people are talking about it, and all they are thinking about is this matter.

"Oh, Huang Ye... Are you drinking here? Have you heard about that?"

"I've heard that Xiao Letian's nest has blown up the French fleet, and it is said that the people killed by the bombing are floating all over the sea......"

"More than that, more than that...... Your news is lagging behind, the foreign soldiers have already broken through the city, and now there is no need to bomb it with artillery, it is all the devil soldiers who shoot and fight, and the bayonets are picked, it's miserable..."

"Oh, you two had a good conversation... If you want me to say, this Xiao Lotian also deserves it, before he said that he had resigned from the position of prime minister, and now let the French leak the bottom, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, let's see, if the court doesn't clean him up, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future, damn this rebellion, bah......"

The crowd gathered more and more, and the Eight Banners idlers belonged to the typical ones who remembered eating and not remembering, they had long forgotten about Xiao Letian's terrifying torture hall, the new army, and the flying leaflets in the sky, and now they took out the uncle's style one by one to give ideas to the imperial court.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the French have openly bombed the Ryukyus, I estimate that Xiao Letian's death letter should be true, if this dead tiger doesn't dare to fight? I think our dynasty is going to be finished......"

"That's right, what Huang Ye said is right... If you want me to say that we Eight Banner Masters have to unite and put pressure on the Banner Masters and the court, we can't be grandsons like this anymore, we have to be grandfathers......"

The ancestors and uncles who drank red and red-eared began their journey of pit fathers, because of their irrational actions, which caused the imperial court to face a great political crisis.

The fat eunuch was afraid that he would never have imagined that his own leaking act of bragging and farting to save face would drive the court to the edge of the cliff. He didn't even know that it was because of the turmoil he stirred up that countless undercurrents would surge violently, and the anger inside and outside the Jingshi would change strangely.

In an alley near the French Embassy, in the box in the backyard of an ordinary small restaurant, a beautiful woman is sitting alone at the table, drinking slowly with a wine glass.

On the table is a simple four dishes and one soup, nine turns of large intestine, fried double crispy, scallion oil carp, scallion braised sea cucumber, and a jade shrimp soup. The wine is also a good wine, the ten-year-old bamboo leaves are green, the entrance is fragrant, and the face of the belly beauty is a little flushed after three cups.

The tavern is rebuilt from a courtyard house, and this kind of restaurant with a little private cuisine has always paid attention to protecting the privacy of guests, and many high-ranking officials are willing to come to this kind of restaurant to talk about something. Of course, the price of the dishes here is also very expensive, just these four dishes and one soup, without a hundred taels of silver.

Just as the woman was quietly drinking, suddenly the door was knocked three times, and before she could respond, a big furry hand pushed it open, and it was actually a foreigner who walked in.

"Well, you're a misty imp, you're a beautiful woman, I thought you were a terrifying female samurai?"

"The slave family is called Sister Wu now, please don't forget about Lord Yang?"

"No, no, no...... Don't try to seduce me, I'm not one of those lustful Qing people...... Of course, I also like beautiful women, but I will never let women be mixed up in my work......"

The foreign adult sat on the chair with a golden knife, and he didn't need to let the skillful pinch chopsticks to eat, it seems that this is still a Chinese expert.

"Okay, I'll get straight to the point, I know your true identity, the ninja of the Shimazu family, and a member of the Forbidden City, directly under the orders of that old ancestor. It should be said that you know the dark lines of the Qing Dynasty very well...... Well, this sea cucumber is burned very well, and we don't have it in Europe......."

"Deal, I'm going to make a deal with you...... Please pour me a drink...... We French people need you to do some work on the dark line, and I will give you some personal reports accordingly, which is a sure bet...... This large intestine is not well done, it is too clean, and it smells ......"

Sister Wu looked at the foreign adults gluttonously in such a daze, and her words were mixed with judgments about the food, and the women were all stunned, and she said that it was rare for a foreign adult with such a heavy taste to be seen.

Gradually, Sister Wu finally understood the purpose of the Frenchman, it turned out that he hoped that Sister Wu would secretly promote the trend within the Eight Banners, so that the Manchu high-level would feel the pressure from the lower levels, and to put it bluntly, he would force the imperial court to deal with Xiao Letian.

"Beauty, you should know that Ci'an has been suppressing the situation, and Cixi has always been willing to go to war against Xiao Letian, it's a pity that now Ci'an has the upper hand, I need you to change this situation...... One more glass of wine......"

"Let those Eight Banners children who love to chat and don't like to work...... By the way, it is the gentlemen you are talking about who are mobilized, let them make trouble every day, put pressure on the imperial court, and force them to wage war against Xiao Letian's forces, and this is all we want in France......"

"As long as you can handle this well, we can promise you some conditions...... You can mention it now. ”

The foggy imp's expression froze, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke, "Is it really possible to mention any conditions?"

The French intelligence officer looked at her idiotically, "Of course it has to be reciprocal, you have to know how heavy this task is, we can repay it, don't be too greedy, you inferior people just don't know how to advance and retreat......"

The little ghost didn't care about the insult of Lord Yang, but she smiled sweetly, "What about me if you over?"

The French official's hungry wolf-like eyes stared at the snow-white on the woman's chest, but his mouth was very cold, "Woman, you are very beautiful, but it is not enough for me to betray the motherland, you better put away your delusions......"

Before he could finish speaking, the little ghost suddenly stretched out his feet, and actually clamped Lord Yang's legs under the table, and slowly rubbed them.

"Don't worry, you better listen to my conditions first...... What I asked for was simple: I wanted the French government to help us train a new army in the Tokugawa shogunate...... Rest assured, we have the money, all the equipment, the instructors who train choose you French...... Come to think of it, this is a surefire business for you..."

The French intelligence officer was stunned for a moment, he thought for a long time before he smiled and asked, "It turns out that your allegiance is still to that island country... I thought you were loyal to the Manchus, but you didn't expect it...... Can you sue me for this? This Qing Dynasty has not treated you well enough?"

The face of the little ghost suddenly became lonely, and she said with a wry smile, "You don't understand, my home country is full of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and typhoons...... You can't imagine how miserable life is in an island country with all kinds of natural disasters......"

"If the low-level peasants could eat a meal of white rice, it would be enough for everyone to sing and dance and celebrate like a festival, and the only way out for a girl like me, when the family is thirteen or fourteen years old, is to sell it...... It's either drudgery or prostitution..."

The foggy imp stared at the French intelligence officer, "This Qing Dynasty is not my home, it will never be, a country with such rich resources, but it doesn't know how to be a strong man, it will only humbly beg for mercy...... Such a country will never be my home..."
