Robespierre seemed to have been stunned by this series of blows, and in protest against the disobedience of the "National Salvation Committee", he actually declared that he was ill and would no longer attend the meetings of the "National Salvation Committee", while his important supporter, Saint-Just, was once again sent to the northern overseer because the troops of the anti-French alliance were gathering in the north and had a tendency to attack France. In this way, in the "National Salvation Committee", only Cudon was left among those loyal to Robespierre. In the eyes of many, it was all Robespierre who was going mad, and he was not far from extinction.

But those who really know Robespierre know that this man is not to give in easily. He must have been plotting a terrible counterattack.

Robespierre was not ill, and everyone noticed that during the day he was smiling and haunting the slums, talking and laughing with the poor people, asking about their lives, and making friends with them. In the evening, he would go back to his little attic, write something, and have a letter sent to someone, or to receive someone who had secretly come to visit him.

Fouché should have kept an eye on Robespierre, his every move, and if so, he would have been able to find out a little bit in advance. and saw through Robespierre's scheme. However, at this most critical moment, something went wrong in Fuxie's home.

Fouché's daughter, who was only six years old, was sick, possibly pneumonia.

In this era, pneumonia was a terrible killer, claiming lives far more than Robespierre's guillotine.

No matter what sarcasm and criticism of the chameleon Foucher are made by later generations, for example, Zweig once described Fouché as "a man without blood, tears and hearts", but even Zweig admits that Fouché is a good husband to his wife and a good father to his children.

Foucher was loyal to his wife all his life, even though she was just a commoner girl who was "poor, humble, unbeautiful, and short". After his meteoric prominence, many people of his status often had countless mistresses. They would even exchange mistresses with each other, like Paul Barras later on. But Fuche, who has been in a high position for a long time, has never done anything in this regard.

Fouché was also careful to isolate his children from all kinds of political storms, so that these things would not touch them. He was gloomy and majestic outside, and you never saw any smile on Fusse's face while he was working. One of his eyes and one action can make countless people tremble, and make countless people stay awake at night because they guess the possible meaning of his eyes.

However, even in the most dangerous and difficult moments, as soon as you return home, the 10,000-year-old glacier-like poker face immediately melts away, and in an instant, the warmest smile in the world blooms.

He would take the children in his arms and rub their little faces with his bearded face so that they would giggle because they were tickled, and he would call them "little girl" and "be careful", and play all kinds of childish games with them, and never tire of it. He was never at home and mentioned outside things to his family. But as soon as he stepped out of the house, he immediately reverted back to the insidious, vicious, fickle and terrible head of the secret police.

His daughter's illness interfered with Fouché, and his reason told him that at this time he could not relax his knowledge and told him that pneumonia could be contagious, and that he should stay away from her, but emotion and knowledge also told him that his daughter would not live long, and that perhaps soon, he would have to prepare a small coffin for her.

"Maybe it won't change too dramatically." Fouché said to himself. He knew that this was actually self-deception, but for the first and only time in his life, he tolerated this irrational behavior of his own.

Foucher handed over more related matters to others, squeezing out his own time so that he could accompany his daughter who was about to die. To avoid infection, he pushed his wife and other children aside and left his daughter alone. His successor was not matched in competence, so Robespierre's actions failed to arouse their vigilance.

During this time, Robespierre met with many of the Jacobins and told them that if he fell, the forces that had previously been oppressed by the Jacobins, the Fernandes, the Brissosotes, and even the Dantonists would come back. At that time, will they still let go of those who are now in the Jacobin Club?

"The blood has flowed, the skulls have rolled off, the hatred has been planted, and each of you has blood on your hands, do you really think that you can change your door at this time? If I fail, their fate in the past will surely be repeated in you! ”

This terrible word frightened the men, and they trembled, fell to their knees, and with tears in their eyes, confessed to Robespierre, and at the same time cursed in the most vicious language the serpent called Fouchie, which tempted them to sin.

A few days later, at another gathering of the Jacobin Club, the former president, Robespierre, suddenly appeared at the meeting. Then a member told everyone that he wanted to expose a poisonous snake to everyone, hoping that everyone would recognize the true face of this poisonous snake.

The name of this poisonous snake is naturally called "Joseph Fouché", this person has fabricated a lot of false accusations, accusing Fouché, including Fouché and a large number of men and women to have an uncovered assembly together, including Fouché gave birth to a large number of illegitimate children, including the story of Fouché and his illegitimate daughter, and I don't want to think about Fouché Even if he has an illegitimate daughter, considering Foucher's age, that daughter can be a little bigger.

Before the stunned Fouché could refute, Robespierre followed. He said that it was a shame for the Jacobin Club that a scumbag like Fouché had actually mixed in, and he suggested that everyone should vote immediately to expel this morally corrupt hypocrite and viper from the Jacobin Club.

The Jacobin Club immediately went to a vote, and the result of the vote was that Robespierre's faction overwhelmingly expelled the current president, Joseph Fouché, from the club.

It was a thunderous blow. The advantage that Foucher had gained in his previous plan was completely lost almost instantly. The guillotine, which was originally far away from him, seems to be not far from him again. Consider that Robespierre also cut off the head of Desmoulins' wife the day before he cut off Desmoulins' head, and Robespierre was also a witness to Desmoulins and his wife's marriage, as well as the godfather of their daughter. Fouché couldn't imagine what would happen to his wife and his children if he was guillotined.

After regaining control of the Jacobin Club, the commissioners, who had seen that Robespierre seemed to have lost power, had an "opinion", visited Robespierre one by one, confessed to him, and begged for his forgiveness.

Some people even simply proposed that Robespierde was worthy of heaven and earth, mighty and cosmopolitan, ancient and modern, and should be promoted to the position of the non-permanent governor of the ancient Roman Republic of Dick, also translated as the poison official. When the state is in a state of emergency, the consul is appointed by the Senate, and the power in the hands of the poison officer is above and above all else, including the executive, military, legislative, judicial, cultural and educational powers. to ensure democracy and freedom in France. Of course, such a proposal was rejected by Robespierre. But at the time, Robespierre was almost a Dicktido.

Fouché was now back in his old life, even though his debriefing had been approved by the National Salvation Committee, when Robespierre was in a precarious position after he was expelled from the Jacobin Club after faking illness. He can no longer be at home with his dying daughter, who died of pneumonia while he was in hiding. When the child was buried in a coffin, his father was not with her.

Foucher had never really hated a person as much as he did now, he had cut off an unknown number of heads before and since, but it was just a routine for him, and he didn't have any hatred for those people. But now, he has the only real enemy in his life.

Robespierre did not stop his pursuit of the "traitors" because of the current victory. He was also well aware of how many people hated him and knew that his foundation was not stable. He didn't trust anyone else, including those who knelt at his feet and confessed to him with tears in their eyes, whether they were from the Jacobin Club or the "National Salvation Committee". He knew that if he showed any flaws, these people would definitely betray him again, as long as he had been a traitor once, he couldn't expect him not to be a traitor a second time!

So, Robespierre needed a really reliable foundation. Now, Robespierre feels that the only people who can become his foundation are those sans-culottes.

As a result, Robespierre took control of the National Assembly, constantly passing more extreme decrees that were more favorable to sans-culottes. He strictly limited prices, and did not hesitate to disrupt the operation of the entire economy, and some of the decrees were not even mentioned by Ebel in the first place.

These decrees, economically, are often dry and detrimental to the interests of all "decent people". Robespierre also knew that his measures would only make those in the National Assembly, and even in the Jacobin Club, hate him even more. But these people are already unreliable, so even if he takes care of those people again, will those people be loyal to him? What he was really worried about was whether the sans-culottes really trusted him because of this, and they really forgot how he cut off the heads of Ebel and the others, who represented the sans-culottes.

"You have betrayed Robespierre once, and Robespierre will never believe you again, otherwise he would not have done this to please the sans-culottes. The reason he hasn't cut off your heads yet is because he's not sure if the sans-culottes are really on his side as he used to. But I will tell you, people are forgetful, especially when they are bought off by material things. As long as the sans-culottes man stands on his side, you, and you will definitely follow their old path in Dandong! Facing Councillor Paul Barras, Fouché said.

"But everyone was too scared to do anything." Barras replied.

"Then, we will find a way to make them more afraid, and this fear will definitely make people act in the end." Fouché whispered, smiling viciously like a jackal, "Mr. Baras, do you have anyone on your hands who is very reliable, like Charlotte Corday?" ”

"You want to assassinate Robespierre?" Barras said in horror.

"No, I don't want to do that, and even if it works, the consequences are unpredictable." Foucher shook his head. Corday's assassination of Marat did not prevent the Reign of Terror. In a sense, her actions added a martyr to the Jacobins and made the rule of the Jacobins more secure.

"And what exactly do you want to do?" Ballas asked.

"Find someone and assassinate Kudon. The assassination must be carried out in a crowded place, the operation must fail, and this failed person must commit suicide. Fouché said.

Barras was silent, and when Foucher said this, he naturally understood what Foucher meant. The assassination was unsuccessful, so it did not trigger a stormy reaction, but the assassination was in broad daylight, and once the assassination failed, the assassin immediately and decisively committed suicide, and such a thing is impossible not to investigate. As soon as the investigation is conducted, everyone from sans-culottes to members of Congress will be in danger, and there will be a lot of gaps to drill into.

At this time, it is enough to go over and say to people, "The Public Safety Committee is already investigating you, and you will be on the list of the next batch of people to be arrested", which is enough to make many people fight with Robespierre for their own lives.

"You can go find Tarian, he might know someone like that." Ballas said.

Talian came from a low background, and in terms of origin, he was an out-and-out sans-culottes. He was originally from the Ebel faction, and he was working as a commissioner in the Bordeaux region at the time of Robespierre's purge of the Ebel faction.

After Ebel and the others were killed, he was recalled. Robespierre accused him of killing innocents and embezzling public funds in Bordeaux, and expelled him from the Jacobin Club. If nothing else changes, his next step will definitely be to go to the guillotine. But by this time, Fouché had been elected president of the Jacobin Club, disrupting Robespierre's rhythm, and Talian survived.

Tallian had dealings with some low-level criminal gangs before the revolution, and he was also Ebel's henchman, so he was sure to find someone loyal to Ebel and hated Robespierre and others. This kind of thing is really good to find him.
