"What?" Albert yelled, got up in the car, and with another groan, hit the roof of the car, and fell back into position, "How is that possible?" ”

"The knife was engraved with the name of Leon, a businessman who had previously wanted to carry out a coup d'état in Hue City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"How is this possible," Albert muttered to himself, "then the Chinese will go berserk next!" ”

"But Mr. Ambassador, this is not necessarily the behavior of our French, you know best what the Prime Minister means, and you cannot offend the Chinese in all aspects. How is that possible? The Governor of Saigon's side will only be milder than we are. ”

"I know that this is definitely not done by us French, what role can a civil official play in Hue City, but they have evidence, they can find fault with us," Albert hurriedly instructed the carriage to turn the horse's head, "Go to the Prime Minister's Yamen immediately, I will explain to Lord Guo Songtao immediately!" ”

The group returned to the Prime Minister's Yamen, which was located on the side of the Old Summer Palace, and when they got out of the carriage and were about to enter the door, they were stopped by the protocol officer, his tone was polite and indifferent, "Mr. Ambassador, Master Guo has already entered the garden to face the saint, and he has already conveyed China's attitude, and we refuse to communicate with Mr. Ambassador again in response to the accident in Vietnam." ”

This is almost a naked act of severing diplomatic relations, Albert's eyes are black, and he can only patiently explain to the protocol officer, who he would never deal with in the past: "I believe there will be a misunderstanding in this matter, although the death of your ambassador may have something to do with France." ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm not qualified to stand here and listen to your explanation," the protocol officer said coldly, "and please take care of yourself, Ambassador." He then turned his head and entered the gate, and instructed the doorman, "Be alert to me, there is a big mess this time, if you accidentally put any cats and dogs in it, nothing else, if you lose the country, I want to see how many heads you can cut off!" ”

"Huh!"

Albert was so angry that he smoked, he got off the eunuch, took off his hat and fanned the wind regardless of etiquette, he felt nervous for the first time in the Far East, how would the Chinese react? This is impossible to predict, but one thing is certain, and the Chinese will no longer limit their actions to diplomatic negotiations.

In the Qinzheng Palace, the Minister of Military Aircraft was already waiting in the Ming Palace, and the Empress Dowager Cixi threw the fold on the imperial case, her face sinking like water, "There was such a big incident in Vietnam, and Ege was actually killed by the French," she slapped the table, and everyone lowered their heads more and more, "I, a Chinese angel, no matter how it turns, it will not be the turn of the French to kill, let alone in the land of vassals, this move of a legal person is really a big rebellion!" ”

"The Queen Mother is angry," Prince Gong knew as soon as he heard this incident that it was not good, and that there would inevitably be a conflict between China and France, but he still wanted to continue to make amends, he thought about it for a while, and considered the sentence, "This matter has not yet been decided, so it is not appropriate to deal with the legal person first, or question the legal person first, and ask the reason clearly." ”

"Is this the words of the king of parliament the words of a Chinese minister to say?" Li Hongzao's eyes were red, and he shouted loudly, Ege is his former subordinate, and he also belongs to Qingliu, and his feelings are very good, the queen mother let Ege send an envoy, he is very much in favor, this is the level of Ege's future promotion, and then it is a single retreat from the French ship, and he has prestige, as long as he returns to Beijing in the future, he will definitely be of great use, but now he was assassinated by the French! Prince Gong was still in such a tone, Li Hongzao was angry, and couldn't help but retort, "A member of the third rank, an envoy to the vassal, was actually assassinated by a legal person, which is the first case in more than a hundred years of the dynasty!" Ege represents the envoy of the Tian1 Dynasty, representing the face of the court, he is loyal to the country, and he finally ended up with such words from the king of the council, which inevitably makes the loyal ministers and righteous people chill! ”

"I'm just saying that this matter has not yet been decided, and it still needs to be explained by the legal person," Prince Gong patiently explained, "Master Li, I didn't say that I felt that Ege died in vain. ”

Li Hongzao turned his head and ignored the political king, "Queen Mother, please make an order quickly, declare war on the legal person, Ege must not die in vain, if so, it means that the court may be tragically killed, and the loyal ministers and righteous people in the world will inevitably no longer believe in the court." ”

"Don't talk about going to war," Jing Lian hurriedly said, "France is a big country in Europa, and China is a big country in Asia, if you act rashly and impulsively, if there is a war between the two great powers, it will inevitably be turbulent and unstable, so that it will have a very bad impact." ”

"If you don't do it again, I'm afraid that the legal person will enter the country in the future!" Zuo Zongtang said disdainfully, "Foreigners are the least benevolent and righteous, they don't know how to accept it when they see it, Ege is dead, if France stops in Vietnam, we don't have to be too excited, Ege is also valuable to die, but I'm afraid that the French will see that we don't react, and they will feel more and more that China is weak and can be bullied, and a big man has died. ”

Jing Lian is Zuo Zongtang's old subordinate, when he saw Shangguan like this, he didn't speak, Zuo Zongtang's words are reasonable, everyone knows the character of foreigners, they are afraid of power but not virtue, blindly courteous, not necessarily they will be grateful, but only the combination of grace and power can make foreigners vigilant, Baojun stopped talking, just looked up slightly at the expression of the Empress Dowager Cixi above, this matter is strange, but the French are now jumping into the Yellow River and can't wash it away.

"The tyranny of the legal person and the unauthorized killing of Chinese angels is the work of a businessman, but the king of the other country is responsible for this," the Empress Dowager Cixi said slowly, the ears of the ministers were pricked up, listening to the Empress Dowager's words, "Ege is loyal to the country, descended to Vietnam, suffered a great disaster, my heart is very sad, and the entourage and others immediately returned to China, Ege's body was properly frozen, transported back to China for a big burial, and the cabinet and the Ministry of Etiquette proposed Ege's name and etiquette." ”

This is the proper meaning of the question, Li Hongzao heard these words, and knew that the Queen Mother would inevitably issue an order on the affairs of the French, so he did not intervene, but waited patiently, "The legal person is arrogant, but China cannot declare war with it." ”

Prince Gong exhaled slightly, obviously relieved, "Queen Mother!" Li Hongzao raised his head and said fiercely, "Please think twice." ”

Weng Tonggong didn't speak, just waited for the words from above, "I haven't finished speaking, Ege's death is all due to the legal person's attempt to attack Hue, Ege represents the power of China in Hue City, in order to prevent Ege from causing trouble, so the assassination was carried out, so the proposed order: order Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Liangguang and five provinces to immediately start the regimental training, enter Vietnam to maintain order, and do not allow legal persons to run rampant in Beiqi!" ”

Li Hongzao Weng and Zuo Zongtang were overjoyed, "Queen Mother," Prince Gong was shocked, what is the difference between this and declaring war, "You must not be like this." (To be continued.) )
