The noise was so loud that Er Mao couldn't stand aside and watch the excitement. He stood up and stopped Prince Gong with a smile, "Your Majesty...it's better to seek common ground while reserving differences! This little thing won't cause any problems..."
"No? He, Xiao Letian, sent a female prostitute as a special envoy. The purpose is to humiliate me, the Qing Dynasty!"
"What kind of special envoy! He, Xiao Letian, is so ambitious that he has never thought of having a serious conversation with me, the Qing Dynasty!"
"It's okay to talk if you want, let Xiao Letian come in person!"
Guiziliu's voice roared and echoed in Yin'an Palace. The eunuchs and guards of the palace were all frightened and their faces turned pale. Some of the guards even clenched their waist knives and were ready. With the prince's order, he rushed in and hacked the Ergui woman to death. !
Er Mao's face darkened, "Your Majesty...are you being serious? Although General Cai is a woman, he is also a frequent visitor to the German Royal Palace, and the Queen of England also received him cordially!"
"General Cai even lived in the French Emperor's Palace of Versailles for a period of time... None of the many kings in Europe dared to underestimate General Cai. What if I, the Qing Dynasty, just drove General Cai away?"
"If word spreads out... will it be easy to say or not? How will the Western countries view the magnitude of our Qing Dynasty? Could it be that our Qing Dynasty cannot even tolerate a female general?"
"I'm afraid that rumors will spread from the mouths of villains... If rumors spread that the prince is afraid to meet the Chinese female envoy, will it be the loss of the court's face?"
During the six or seven years that Er Mao has been hanging around in the Forbidden City, he has figured out the tempers of these people. He advises these people not to fight directly, but to go around in circles!
Does Guiziliu really want to walk away? Of course not, he just wants to put some psychological pressure on the other party before the actual negotiation, and just wants to control it.
But Cai Bixia didn't follow this trick. A bowl of tea broke the tricks of these princes!
Now that you Guiziliu are making trouble and want to leave, I, Cai Bixia, won’t stop you. Let’s go on to drink tea and watch a show!
Er Mao knows that these people are all overcooked ducks, so he has a hard mouth. If you want to persuade them, you have to move out the court and move out the dignity!
I have to do it to the end, and make it look like Yimin, Yixuan, and Yikui have to endure the humiliation... I actually don't want to negotiate with you woman, but for the sake of the overall interests of the court, I have no choice but to negotiate with you!
Anyway, that’s what I meant when I wanted to build a memorial arch!
Sure enough, when Er Mao moved out of court, Yi Xin was so angry that she didn't want to leave, and stared at Cai Bixia without sitting down.
Normally in this situation, Cai Bixia would have to give a small step, and one or two kind words would be enough to appease Prince Gong. But today, Cai Bixia was obviously angry at the patriarchal preference of these people. Not only Instead of trying to persuade him, he said something lightly.
"Haha... Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that today you are hosting a banquet for Mr. Ermao, but I came here secretly!"
"Today is not a negotiation in the first place. Why are you meeting with the Chinese envoy behind the imperial court's back?"
"If you walk away, then I will leave too... As soon as I walk out of this door, I will make sure everyone in the capital knows that we had a secret conversation tomorrow!"
"You can explain it to the Queen Mother yourself then!"
"You!" Guizi Liuzhen has never seen such a bold and rogue woman. She rushed up without even getting choked up!
Prince Gong Yixin was the minister of the King of China. The main function of the Yamen was actually the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing Dynasty. Logically speaking, Yixin received the envoys from various countries and that was his duty.
But don't forget that there is already a rift between Prince Gong and Emperor Tongzhi. The two sides are competing with each other. Any information falling into the hands of the other party will be a trap in the future!
What's even worse is that Guiziliu secretly chose the meeting address in Prince Qing's Mansion to keep it secret. This is interesting!
What do you mean by not meeting the envoys at the Yamen and meeting in private? And Prince Qing has obviously been banned by the emperor's decree, so how can he still receive guests and have banquets?
These are all excuses for political opponents. If there is no explanation at all, it will be trouble!
Guiziliu looked at Cai Bixia's flawless face with anger in his eyes. He wanted to rush up and slap this annoying woman!
But he didn't dare. The Chinese people at this moment were no longer something he could fight against. The power of the King of France was still defeated. He was just a prince. How could his power be compared with that of the King of France?
Er Mao saw that the atmosphere was really not right. He stretched out his hand to wrap Prince Gong's arm and said with a smile, "Noisy is better. How can there be any negotiation in the world without quarreling? Europeans quarrel even more fiercely during diplomatic negotiations!"
"As the saying goes, those who find fault are the real buyers, and those who flatter you are such scoundrels... Sit down, Your Majesty!"
After coaxing and persuading, Guiziliu was forced back into his seat. After such a conflict, the princes no longer dared to look down on the woman in front of them, and they spoke with a certain degree of politeness.
"Since Mr. Cai likes to drink tea, let's change it to tea... Yikuang, I remember the Dahongpao that the Queen Mother gave you some time ago. Don't hide it, take it out and try it!" Prince Chun Yixuan also came to smooth things over.
"Yes, yes... Come on, please change my Dahongpao and give it to Mr. Cai... Everyone, calm down your anger!"
"Let the kitchen prepare the food and wine and take them to the west side hall. Let's talk about business for a while and then go back to the wine!"
Cai Bixia cursed in her heart, "The head of state is right. We must seek balance in the struggle. Face is earned through fighting, not rewarded by others!"
"Eating wine is a trivial matter, let's talk about serious business!" Cai Bixia leaned on the chair and looked at the princes with clear eyes.
"What do you princes want to know? Just tell me..."
Yi Kuan coughed twice, "Haha... Since Mr. Cai is so honest, let's not talk in circles! Mr. Cai, did you sell anything to the Long Live Lord and the Queen Mother when you were in Beiyuan? "
"The information is very well-informed! Yes, this is not a secret, it is to promote something... It is a secret weapon that defeated the French Emperor in France, the Zeppelin airship!"
They didn't expect Cai Bixia to be so honest and didn't go around in circles at all. They all sat up straight and said, "Can you let us see the sketch?"
"Okay! Those who are interested are distinguished guests, and the airship is not a top-secret weapon..."
A female soldier walked in, opened her briefcase and took out a few blurry photos and a simple sketch!
It was impossible for Cai Bixia to bring the detailed design drawings of the entire airship manufacturing, which would be several boxes. She only brought a general structural drawing.
The airbags, weapon pods, upper armor, firing holes, propellers, etc. are all clearly drawn!
Several princes stood up, placed photos and sketches on the coffee table, and gathered around without caring about their dignity, with their heads in a circle and greedily looking at the new weapons produced by the Chinese!
"It's really flying in the sky! Is this photo fake?"
"The densely packed houses down here are Paris, the capital of France?"
"What kind of fortress is this? Why is it so strange? Is the airship dropping bombs on it?"
