Forty-six, Baiyun out of Xiu (3)
The French in Hue City are having a very hard time these days, originally these French businessmen were already almost above the Vietnamese officials, which was completely based on military action, perhaps the current Qing people will not understand that "a weak country has no sovereignty", but the attitude of the French changed rapidly, just like the weather in Hue City in the rainy season, which caught people off guard.

When Li Willy conquered Thang Long Province, the legal person had already dared to proudly haunt the vicinity of the Sifang Pavilion, not only opening champagne to celebrate the victory, but also whipped the Vietnamese officials of the Sifang Pavilion, and even scolded the Chinese envoy Oge for being nosy and coming to Vietnam to muddy the waters, "Neither the Chinese, nor the British nor the Russians, can have any more rights than the French to dominate Vietnam in Indochina and Vietnam!" The Chinese have not dared to send troops until now, no one has given up the state of Vietnam, even God can never stop the French rule over Vietnam, of course, this statement blasphemes God, but I definitely think so. "I don't even have to doubt that, as long as we occupy the whole of North Nghi, here," he said, the president of the French Chamber of Commerce in Hue said so loudly at the reception celebrating the occupation of Thang Long by Willy Lee, "I don't even need to doubt that, as long as we occupy the whole of North Nghi, here," he pointed to the ground with his index finger disdainfully, "tomorrow this stupid Vietnamese emperor will announce his abdication, and then kneel at our feet, and beg us to forgive him for his rebellious crimes, and hope that we can arrange an apartment in Paris so that he can live out his old age with his little wives." It's just that I'm thinking, those concubines of the Vietnamese emperor are so beautiful, but he can't fill the emptiness of the beautiful concubines, so what's the point of taking these beauties? Hey, hey, hey......."
A group of men laughed inexplicably, the fact that Emperor Duc could not have sex has become a well-known secret, so there are three righteous sons, "Next, in order to make the Vietnamese emperor go to Paris more quickly, then we need to work harder," the president of the chamber of commerce ordered, "We need to drive that Chinese out of Hue City!" ”
"As long as we drive out that annoying Chinese, then, without the need for Colonel Li Weili, the victorious general of Beiqi, to Hue, we can no longer care about the Chinese and justifiably attack the palace, no problem!"
Although Ege is pedantic, but also knows that the current situation is difficult, as long as he lives steadily in this Hue City, the French are afraid of the Chinese situation, do not dare to be in, at least now do not dare to do things in Hue City to force the palace, so he also patiently sat in the Sifang Pavilion, every day just read and write articles, occasionally see a Vietnamese scholar to point out a thing or two, a little French slanderous words, he will not listen to the ears at all, this is the advantage of not knowing foreign languages, anyway, I can't understand how others scold you.
A few days ago, the figure swayed, saying that it was the Black Flag Army and Li Willy who fought at the paper bridge, but I don't know the result yet, the French were extraordinarily arrogant in those days, and a few Frenchmen were about to rush into the Sifang Pavilion with the strength of wine to try to be unfavorable to Ege, but fortunately they were desperately stopped by the Vietnamese guards.
On this day, Ege read a passage of "Mencius", and felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, why the Frenchman, who was like a bird's song in the past, suddenly had no voice, he called the attendant to go out to have a look, and after a while the attendant came back to say, with an excited smile on his face, "Li Willy is dead!" ”
"Willy Lee is dead?" The white-haired Emperor Si De was so surprised that even the imperial pen in his hand fell to the ground, and the concubine who was waiting for the pen and ink on the side hurriedly picked it up, and Emperor Si De asked Ruan Wenxiang, "How did he die?" Could it be," he thought of a very unlikely dream, "is it the Black Flag Army?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty," Ruan Wenxiang congratulated, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "Liu Yongfu led the Black Flag Army to annihilate the legal entity, Li Willy and Wei Weisi, the two thieves have been ambushed, Beiqi Da'an, now they have set off towards Thang Long Mansion, after these few days, the Holy Lord will definitely be able to hear the good news of Thang Long Mansion!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Emperor Side was very excited, so that he coughed excitedly, although it was in the middle of summer, but Emperor Side was still wearing a long robe, and the concubine hurriedly stroked Emperor De's chest, "Your Majesty, even if you are happy, you have to pay attention to your body." ”
Emperor Side glanced at the fold presented by Chen Wending, "Okay, good," he patted the table vigorously with his dry hand, "Chen Wending and Liu Yongfu have made great contributions, Prime Minister, you arrange the reward," he was originally very high, but suddenly lowered his mind, "Call the cabinet to discuss." ”
Military merits have always been decided by Emperor De himself, why is it suddenly so negative today? Ruan Wenxiang was not surprised, but he originally thought that Emperor Side would be happy for a long time, and sure enough, the originally happy expression on Emperor De's face became gloomy, "The Black Flag Army is so powerful, I am really afraid that the French will be angry and report it back." ”
"Your Majesty," Nguyen Van Xiang tried to persuade Emperor Duc again, "In the past, the French did help me to establish the country of the Nguyen Dynasty, but after so many years of respect, they also ceded our Nanqi to the French, and this favor should have been repaid a long time ago. Handed over to them to negotiate between the two countries, why should we worry, take 10,000 steps back, even if you go to Beijing to be a princess, you will definitely win the person who falls into France by ****! ”
"Bold!" Emperor Side shouted with all his might, "You are going to rebel!" I, the emperor of the Great Southern Kingdom, how can I go to Beijing to be a princess! I know your thoughts, nothing more than thinking that you can continue to be an official when you go to China, and let me tell you that Chinese often say that if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and I advise you to dispel this ignorant idea as soon as possible! ”
Ruan Wenxiang bowed his head and was silent, he was originally disheartened with Emperor Side, so he did his duty as a courtier, and it was enough, the concubine's dark eyes turned, and she smiled at Emperor Side and smiled, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry with the dragon body, come, this is Korean ginseng from North Korea, and it is the best to nourish your body and qi." The emperor will take a sip. ”
Emperor Si De originally glared at Ruan Wenxiang angrily, but when he was interrupted by the concubine like this, he got off the donkey and shook his head, "That's it, the prime minister's mind is still clear, and loyalty to the country can be afforded, but we must not offend the French too much!" I originally meant to let the Black Flag Army make the French suffer a little, but I didn't say that I wanted to annihilate the French army, and even killed a colonel, a lieutenant colonel, if the French attacked in a big way," he looked very frightened with a worried expression on his face, "How can I, the Great Southern Country, withstand such a storm?" It's really hateful! This Liu Yongfu! Instead, he hated the Black Flag Army, "It's a big thing for me." ”
Ruan Wenxiang just didn't say anything, although the concubine was a woman, she also knew the truth of "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, leaving no trouble", if she offended people, could it be that there was still any room for maneuver? If you are so worried, it is better to give up these three thousand miles of rivers and mountains to the legal person, this will never offend people, but although the concubine did not think so, she did not speak.
"Prime Minister, give an order to let Chen Wending return to Beijing quickly!" Emperor Si De closed his eyes and said inscrutablely, "Since there are Chinese officials in the Black Flag Army, then the Paper Bridge Dajie has nothing to do with our Great Southern Kingdom, this is completely the behavior of the Chinese, in that case, Chen Wending is in the Black Flag Army, it is very inappropriate, let him enter Beijing." ”
Ruan Wenxiang asked Emperor Side in disbelief, "Who should preside over the war in Beiqi?" ”
"No one needs to preside over it," Emperor Side shook his head, "I and the Great Southern Kingdom only need to remain neutral, how the two countries fight has nothing to do with the Great Southern Kingdom, I know what Shoufu is going to say," he opened his eyes and looked at Ruan Wenxiang indifferently, "Although Beiqi is the land of the Great South, but the upper kingdom wants to fight, how can a small country deal with itself?" Naturally, it was to avoid the edge. (To be continued.) )
