In the late Qing Dynasty without Xiao Letian, Devil Six was really the first person in the Great Qing Dynasty who was proficient in Western affairs, if it weren't for the fact that he and Cixi finally had a power struggle, plus he was forced to retire due to poor health, then the diplomacy of the Great Qing Kingdom really didn't have anything to do with Li Hongzhang.

This is a man with dry goods in his belly, and he is extremely concerned about the situation in Europe, this is not those rat-eyed Eight Banners waste, Yi once studied the history of the rise of Europe country by country, and analyzed the characteristics of each country.

Although the channels of information he obtained were fragmented, and the truth and falsehood were not systematic enough, he was considered a rare Western scholar in the late Qing Dynasty.

"Go back and tell the Queen Mother, let her not be so anxious, Xiao Letian's stinky chess will always have a time when he suffers bitter fruits! Is the French easy to mess with? That is the second most powerful country after Britain, how did Napoleon III come to power? It was by the aristocracy that he came to power with the restoration in his hands!"

Li Lianying's eyes widened as he listened to Prince Gong explain the truth to him, this was the first time he had heard of such a foreign history, not to mention that it was really interesting.

France is a country that has made a great contribution to the modern history of the world, first of all, the Revolution overthrew the monarchy and shocked the whole world, and even the emperor crowned by the pope could be beheaded, which was the most serious challenge to the imperial power and religious power.

At that time, the kings of all Europe put aside their grievances and collectively contributed money and troops to punish France.

Napoleon III succeeded in the restoration because he found a balance between the old aristocratic faction and the advanced capitalist faction, especially the army he controlled.

Napoleon's proclamation as emperor ensured the interests of the aristocracy, at least they felt that Napoleon was the same person as they were, and France was still an empire.

Napoleon's active foreign development and active use of troops abroad can satisfy the interests of the capitalists, and the colonies have more opportunities to make money, and the capitalists also think that Napoleon III is good.

Although the people at the bottom are still living in poverty, the order of the country is still there, and France often wins a few battles overseas to satisfy the people's vain psychological thirst for a great power.

Balance, precisely because Napoleon III found the balance of statecraft, his restoration was successful.

But now Xiao Lotian has touched the sensitive nerves of France, and the balance is about to be broken.

"Xiao Letian, the rise of the Chinese, sooner or later will rob the interests of the French, and now the British and French businessmen in Shanghai have a grudge against the Chinese businessmen......"

And at this moment, Xiao Letian tortured and killed...... Remember what I said, and tell the Queen Mother Xiao Lotian that this is abusing and killing nobles, this kind of behavior has touched the bottom line of the French aristocracy...... Even the nobles who have a grudge against Molière have to stand by his side at this moment!"

"It's cruel enough, pouring people alive in cement, casting kneeling statues and burying them in front of the Temple of the God of War! What does Xiao Letian think? Could it be that he has lost his mind and gone crazy, what use can he do in killing people in this way except to completely anger the Emperor and the whole of France?"

"The French will definitely take revenge, Molière's death Napoleon III must definitely take revenge, because if he doesn't take revenge, he will lose the support of all the nobles, how can he govern......?

"Hehehe...... We don't have a navy in the Qing Dynasty, but France does! Don't worry, when the French army besieges the Ryukyus and Xiao Lotian has no time to take care of himself, we can attack Tanggu and Jiangnan to all Xiao Letian's industries! My new army will naturally take revenge on my Qing Dynasty at that time!"

"Go, let the Queen Mother feel at ease, I can't forget it in this Qing Kingdom......"

Li Lianying had already listened to it completely stupidly, and he almost took a pen to record this big truth, and he stared at every word in his heart, for fear of forgetting one.

finally gave an explanation to the Queen Mother, and a few fewer people died in the Forbidden City.

The facts proved the judgment of the devil six, he really couldn't enter the palace today, and after a while, the housekeeper of the Kung Fu Royal Mansion trotted in all the way, "Lord Qiqi, the French Minister Godmere and the Counselor Borone ask to see you...... Look at their faces with anger, they are all iron-blue!"

"Hahaha...... Okay, Lao Li, go back to the palace on a business trip, I'll talk to these French big noses, the weather is really good today, hahaha It's finally time for the big nose to beg me, cool, it's really cool!"

Li Lianying went all the way out, and when she walked to the second gate, she happened to meet the minister and the counselor, Li Lianying is also a political celebrity, and the minister and the counselor also gave him a hat salute, and the three of them exchanged a few words of greeting before parting.

Looking at the back of the foreign devil, Li Lianying was also in a complicated mood, "...... There are times when you beg for help, what about the arrogance you used to have?"

Li Lianying sent the reassuring pill to Chuxiu Palace, Cixi naturally smiled and was in a good mood, and no one knew what agreement Devil Six and the French had reached.

But they are not the only smart people in the Qing Dynasty, and the couple of men and women who are cheating on Jingshan are also aware of the current situation.

After some clouds and rain, the two walked slowly on the Jingshan path, and the entire Jingshan was protected by countless eunuchs and guards loyal to Ci'an, and they were not afraid of any degree of leakage at all.

Ci'an had just received the secret report of today's devil six operations, and when she heard that Yi had met with the envoys of Tsarist Russia and France in one day, the smart woman sneered, "It's really a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind!

Fuqing held a copy of the Prime Minister's Yamen telegram in his hand, and his status in the Prime Minister's Yamen was second only to Yi, and he belonged to the second-class officials, but due to Yi's exclusion, the current Fuqing could only be responsible for the construction of the telegram of the Qing Dynasty, as well as the inspection work of the special zones throughout the country.

To put it bluntly, Yi wanted to make Fuqing an official who ran back and forth in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and could not stay in Beijing for a long time, marginalized him, and made him unable to establish his own faction in the imperial capital.

Fuqing is not strong enough now, and it is absolutely impossible to win by breaking his wrist with Yi, not to mention that Yi still has soldiers in his hands, so Fuqing can only go to the Qing Dynasty to inspect the new policy and track the construction of the telegraph network.

But after all, Fuqing was a high-ranking official in charge of the telegraph office, and he was also responsible for the telegraph station in the prime minister's yamen, so these top-secret telegrams coming and going in the Great Qing Kingdom were not encrypted for him.

In terms of intelligence, Fuqing's resources are no smaller than Yi's.

"The Queen Mother means...... Prince Gong is going to join forces with France?"

are all smart people, looking at the essence through the surface, and moving the whole body, this kind of overall control is really not something that ordinary people can have.

Fu Qing sighed secretly and said, "Xiao Letian, is this crazy, why did he make so many enemies for himself? Tsarist Russia has not yet made peace, how can he offend France like ......this?"

Hum...... Ci'an snorted coldly: "The mourning family doubts that Xiao Letian is Yi's accomplice!

"I heard that France is in trouble with Prussia, and he can't draw all his strength to deal with Xiao Letian now, so he must find an ally in East Asia to contain Xiao Letian......"

Fools know that they want to choose Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty, but Tsarist Russia has no soldiers at the moment, and it has little effect, so these French big noses can only choose our Qing Dynasty to contain Xiao Letian!"

"It's said that it's the election of the Qing Dynasty, it's just a trick! After all, it's not an alliance with the devil six!"

"Does your eldest brother have a brain problem and make wedding clothes for Yi?

Ci'an's voice rose wave after wave, and his angry face turned white.
