Soon, Xu Qing's fame spread all over Paris, because his speech in the Invalides in Paris completely moved many, many French soldiers. www.biquge.info In this country where nationalism is prevalent and there have been so many changes of dynasty in the past, many people are nostalgic for Napoleon.

Napoleon defeated the anti-French alliance, and the Napoleonic period was the most glorious period of France, so everyone also remembered Napoleon. And Xu Qing compared Napoleon to an "ordinary" "veteran", not only did not devalue Napoleon's status, but on the contrary, made Napoleon's status higher, especially in the hearts of French low-level figures, and even in the hearts of many French military personnel, the status is much higher.

"Bastard, asshole!" King Louis Philippe of France broke several pieces of porcelain in a row, apparently very annoyed by the situation.

You must know that if Napoleon's status in the eyes of the French is raised, it will not be a good thing for him, the king of the Orleans. So he was extremely angry with Xu Qing.

"This Xu Qing is really too deceitful, really because I don't dare to kill him?" Louis Philippe said angrily.

The minister next to him hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, calm down!" This Xu Qing is a diplomat after all, not to mention that we do not have a direct war with China, so what if he goes to hang this Napoleon? Anyway, China is far away from us in Europe, and they can't influence us! He's just a man at best, so what are we afraid of? In this world, you really have to rely on strength, not on what you can do with your mouth. So, I don't think it's better to deter him, and there's no need to be afraid of this guy who just talks about it. ”

"For the sake of a guy who just talks about it, and breaks the ironclad rule of diplomatic immunity, that's not necessary. So Your Majesty, don't lose a big deal because of a small thing! We still have to abide by this diplomatic immunity, otherwise we will not be safe in France when we go to the whole world. ”

Louis Philippe immediately snorted: "Okay, isn't he crazy?" Prepare immediately, I will tell him that on the European continent, he is not just a trick. ”

Louis Philippe immediately asked people to prepare, how to do it, this Xu Qing didn't know yet. However, Xu Qing knew that this Louis Philippe would never dare to do anything to him, because he, the minister of the Manchu court in Europe, that is, his greatest talisman, diplomatic immunity was not casually said, and the French would not commit this taboo that is common to the East and the West all over the world for themselves!

But in the hotel where Xu Qing stayed, Xu Qing sat on the soft sofa, and next to him sat this Miss Mathilde, gently stroking this Mathilde's jade hand, obviously a little not honest. However, Mathilde acquiesced in Xu Qing's dishonesty, but he was considering Xu Qing's value in his heart.

"Princess Mathilde, perhaps I should call you Princess?" Xu Qing asked.

Mathilde Bonaparte hurriedly said, "Minister Xu Qing, are you kidding? ”

Xu Qing shook his head and said, "I'm not kidding, if Napoleon the Great is still on the throne, aren't you also a princess?" Of course, Miss Mathilde, would you be interested in hearing me tell a story? ”

"Oh? What's the story? Mathilde asked.

Xu Qing said: "Back then, long before the Qin Dynasty, the first unified dynasty in China, unified China, its predecessor was the Qin Kingdom. At that time in the Qin Kingdom, there was a habit called Proton, and as far as I know, there was a similar situation in the West, that is, the act of sending a prince to a foreign country as a hostage. ”

"At that time, there was a proton in the Kingdom of Qin, named Zi Chu, and he met a merchant named Lü Buwei! From then on, Lü Buwei had an idea. ”

……

"After a series of operations, this Lü Buwei successfully turned this Zichu into the king of the Qin Kingdom, and then he became the prime minister of the Qin Kingdom. Later, he laid the foundation for the development of this Qin kingdom, and made great contributions to the later unification of the Qin kingdom in China and became an empire. ”

Xu Qing explained this story to Mathilde, that is, the story of "Strange Goods" in the original history. Of course, Xu Qing didn't talk about everything, but deliberately omitted the matter of Lü Buwei giving his woman to Zichu, and omitted the later controversy about who Qin Shihuang's biological father was.

But in Mathilde's eyes, he obviously heard Xu Qing's "off-string sound", and soon understood that Xu Qing was really hinting at himself, this Bonaparte family was also a "strange thing to live in", and Xu Qing now opened a bank, which can be regarded as a kind of businessman. He could have managed to make this Bonaparte an emperor.

Mathilde asked with some caution: "Are you sure that there is really a chance for this 'operation'?" You mean, we in France are about to ......"

"Of course, I'm sure it will happen!" Xu Qing once again firmly said that he was sure that this revolution would take place, and that the Bonaparte family would take advantage of the opportunity to gain a chance for restoration.

Mathilde's heart moved, and he certainly hoped that this idea would be true. But whether this can succeed or not depends on the next situation.

"What do you want? Minister Xu Qing, I would like to know if this is your personal act, or is it on behalf of the Chinese government? Mathilde asked.

Xu Qing replied: "On behalf of me personally, not on behalf of the Qing government of China." ”

Mathilde took the initiative to ask: "Minister Xu Qing, I want to know what your purpose is, I don't believe that you will support us without any purpose." ”

Xu Qing also replied very directly: "I have several purposes, I want to get a few things." First, I am a Chinese official, and when China is dealing with Europe's diplomatic affairs, I hope that France, which is under the command of the Bonaparte family, will only buy my account when the time comes, and when the time comes, I will not buy too much money from other Chinese diplomats. Let me be honest, I hope to use my friendly relations with the Bonaparte family as a political capital for my development in the country. I will not expect any position of power in France, after all, I am Chinese, my focus is still in China, I hope to use the personal friendship with the future royal family of France as my political capital in China. “

Mathilde asked curiously, "This is why you got involved with Queen Isabella of Spain?" ”

Xu Qing nodded and replied, "Yes, I don't deny it!" ”

"You are a politician, a real politician!" Mathilde replied with a smile.

Xu Qing continued: "As for the second one, I still want to get one thing from the Bonaparte family. ”

'What's that?' Mathilde asked.

Xu Qing grabbed Mathilde's hand and said, "That's Princess Mathilde—you!" Princess Mathilde, you are also a beauty, and I, as a man, also like beautiful women. And, since I wanted to use the personal friendship of the Bonaparte family as a political capital, I thought how could we ensure that the Bonaparte family would always support me? And the most effective way is to get married. If I take the daughter of the Bonaparte family as my woman, so that I am also a son-in-law, will the Bonaparte family not support me? ”

Mathilde was completely flustered, this time Xu Qing was a real showdown, not the kind of hint before! This is a real showdown, not the vague hints of the previous one. This showdown meant that there were only two options for the Bonaparte family, one was to promise Xu Qing and marry Mathilde to him, which was regarded as cooperation between the two parties through marriage.

At that time, Xu Qing will pay to help them find an opportunity to restore, but when Xu Qing marries this Mathilde, it means that even if the Bonaparte family becomes the French emperor and restores the regime in the future, it will support Xu Qing's development in China, and use the relationship between the Bonaparte family and Xu Qing as the political capital for Xu Qing's development in China.

So now that Xu Qing has a direct showdown, what is left for the Bonaparte family is two choices, one is to agree, and the other is to veto.

"Minister Xu Qing, you are really embarrassing me like this! I don't dare to decide this kind of thing casually. After all, although I still have some admiration for Minister Xu Qing, I am also an important member of the Bonaparte family after all, and my marriage is not so casual and can be solved. So, I'm going back to my family to counsel with me, what do you think? But, Minister Xu Qing, you really like women very much, don't you? Mathilde said.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Why not? Power can be gained on the one hand, and beauties can be obtained on the other. Power and beauty are obtained together, isn't this a good thing that many men like? I also very much hope so, and Mademoiselle Mathilde, you are young and beautiful, and I am also very impressed, why should I refuse? ”

Of course, Xu Qing will not refuse to obtain beauty and power together, and at the same time as obtaining beauty, he can also gain power, and use the beauty ladder as a means to climb up. Xu Qing was alone in Europe, and he was just taking advantage of the mutual ignorance between the Manchus and Europe. Europe did not understand the Manchus, and the Manchus also had a lot of misunderstandings about Europe.

This is the basis for Xu Qing to get benefits from it, but how much this benefit can get is still very problematic. The only thing Xu Qing can do is to use the "blind spot" of the two sides to establish his network of contacts in Europe and China as soon as possible. In particular, the network of contacts in the upper echelons of Europe is very much needed by Xu Qing.

Anyone who engages in diplomacy knows that connections are very important. Although the interaction between diplomats may still depend on the national strength and national interests, in many cases, a diplomat's personal connections and personal personality charm are enough to be an important catalyst.

How to build contacts in Europe as soon as possible, this is the simplest and most primitive, but at the same time the most effective way, which is nothing more than the most primitive need of human beings - reproduction. And reproduction, the birth of a pair between men and women. Xu Qing's simplest and most effective method, that is, through women!

In Europe, the easiest way to establish a relationship as soon as possible is to be a woman. Why did Xu Qing not hesitate to use conspiracy to sleep with Queen Isabella Lori, or Countess Eugenie also slept with them, their beauty is secondary, but the most important reason is that Xu Qing hopes to use their relationship network in European nobility to gain benefits. As for Mathilde and the Bonaparte family, Xu Qing supported the restoration of the Bonaparte family, and then this Mathilde would become a French princess, and the Bonaparte family would be able to feed themselves. The armies used each other and supported each other.

As for this method, Xu Qing didn't have much disgust, on the contrary, he enjoyed it very much. In this way, since he can get beautiful women and power, why should he refuse? Power and beauty are obtained together, such a method is the most appropriate, for Xu Qing, at most, it is just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks at home.

But he can gain power and obtain beautiful women, and such a thing as a man will not lose money.

"Hey, Minister Xu Qing, we Bonaparte family have met you, a Chinese politician, and we really don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse! Is there anything else you would like to tell us about the Bonapartes? I'll take it back for you all at once, what do you think? Mathilde said helplessly.

Xu Qing said very directly: "Very good, in fact, things are very simple, as long as we can reach a cooperation, I can first help your cousin take out of France and go to foreign countries to develop." As far as I know, your cousin, though a little naïve, is the only one of your Bonaparte family who can handle it. You're just eating the old books of the Bonapartes, so it's a good idea to let your imprisoned cousin go. ”

"I think you Bonaparte family still have a lot of connections, and it shouldn't be a problem to get that cousin out. Next, wouldn't it be nice if I could help you get him out of France? Xu Qing asked.

Mathilde was surprised: "How could you possibly take him out of the country?" ”

Xu Qing said mysteriously: "Just because I am China's minister to Europe, do you understand?" ”

Mathilde was not a fool, and quickly understood what Xu Qing meant, that is, because he was the permanent envoy sent to Europe by China and the Manchu court, and this identity was also his biggest hole card and the biggest talisman. But if this identity is used well, it is also very useful.

Soon, Mathilde returned from the family and said to Xu Qing: "Minister Xu Qing, we, the Bonaparte family, agree to all your conditions, including the thing you want. That is......"

Mathilde's face blushed a little, although he had been a bystander before, he could still say it as a matter of course. But now, when it comes, it's really a little shy.

Xu Qing smiled slightly, directly took Mathilde, the French Yanmar, into his arms, and then took advantage of it with both hands. Mathilde didn't resist, because she knew her identity, and that was the "deposit"!
