Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Smelling the long absence of free air, the criminals in these prisons were all extremely excited. Some of them even kneeled on the ground to thank God for his mercy.

Rigaud did not have time to pay any attention to the criminals. He began to search among the political prisoners, and soon found his target.

"Representative... Representative Luo Shenfuer... I am here, and I am Rigaud! "

Henry Luo Shenfuer, a staunch anti-imperialist councilor, a rare anomaly among the republicans that was close to the working class, was imprisoned by the French Emperor because of the numerous speeches he made against the Empire.

This time, Rigaud's main purpose was to save him!

"Ah …" Li Gao? " The councillor didn't seem to remember.

"It's me. Six years ago, we met once in Belgium. At that time, I followed Blanqui …"

"AHH!" I got it … I've got an impression... Have you started a revolution? "How can you take over this sturdy prison?"

Li Gao had long prepared clean clothes for the councilors, as well as some simple food and water. "Sir, French Emperor has already been defeated in battle.

"This is the accurate information we received this morning. The Empire is finished. We are currently in a state of anarchy …"

"Mr. Blanqui begs for you to head to the council immediately. We know that you are not in good health, but at this critical moment … The council needs an honest gentleman like you! "

Luo Shenfuer never thought that the situation outside would change to such an extent while he was in prison. The Franco-Prussian War had actually turned into a mud pit.

As he listened to Li Gao's introduction, Luo Shenfuer changed his clothes inside the horse carriage, cleaned himself up briefly, and then wolfed down the sandwich.

"What Blanqui did is right. You must restrain yourselves from erupting in serious conflict, and even more so, not erupting in a direct revolution … The council is the key! "

"In the face of a great enemy, we need the authority of the council to unify and consolidate the power of the entire France … Speed up, hurry up and take me to Bourbon's palace … "

The Bourbon's palace was the true core of the storm, and even though the other parts of the city were causing a huge ruckus, such as robbing military camp supplies, controlling police stations and attacking prisons, even the newspapers were not going to be let off …

But these conflicts are a drizzle, because they only affect a city in Paris... The Bourbon's palace was different. This was the meeting center for all the elected members of Parliament in the 577 electoral districts in France.

Every decision made here represented the support of the people of the constituencies!

Only by controlling this place would he be able to control the entire method. Otherwise, it would be useless to rob a single Paris!

When Luo Shenfuer's carriage reached the vicinity of Bourbon's palace, he realised that it was already surrounded by a sea of people.

The Bourbon's palace was built for his daughter by Louis XIV in 1722, so how could the famous Sun King possibly let his daughter down?

The huge platform had been built by the thirty steps, so the people on the street could only look up at it. Twelve huge Roman pillars formed a veranda at the main entrance.

The six exquisite statues looked at the scene in front of them with pity. From the start of the revolution until now, if they had cultivated to the Exquisite Spirit Realm, they would probably sigh at the great change that had occurred.

There was a long iron fence between the Bourbon's palace and the main street. People could see the councilors that went in and out through the exquisite casting of the fence, they could even hear the quarrels from the wind.

Outside the wall were the French Guards standing side by side. All of the guards in Bourbon's palace were equipped with bayonets, and they all formed a cold, shiny bayonet formation.

They were isolating these tens of thousands of restless citizens of Paris. These soldiers did not look confused like the soldiers in the other military camps, because they had just met the familiar general!

Thiers protected General Trochu as he rushed to Bourbon's palace half an hour ago. Now, all the imperial guards had finally found their commander.

General Trochu ordered for the soldiers to maintain order in the council. No one was allowed to barge into the council, and every councilor that came from all over Paris needed the soldiers to protect them and enter the council.

But Trochu also took into account his current sensitive feelings, he requested for the soldiers to restrain themselves from shooting, and not enrage the citizens.

From that moment onwards, the bayonet formation was set up to isolate the citizens of Paris.

Not even fifteen minutes after General Trochu entered the council, Blanqui brought even more members of the National Guard here. However, when he wanted to enter the council, he was flatly refused.

"I don't care who you are, this is the National Assembly, this is the Bourbon's palace …" Only representatives and staff can enter! "

"We don't care how many people you have because you don't have the status of councilor... You didn't go through the legal election process, so we won't admit your... "Step back!"

Blanqui was so angry that his face turned green, the soldier's every word stung his heart.

I don't have any official status, I've never been an official and I've never taken part in an election, but can you blame me? The French Emperor had always wanted to capture him, and had struggled against the Empire for most of his life.

Millions of workers were waiting to vote for me, but I couldn't get into the election process... Could it be that I am to blame as well? This is French Emperor's oppression!

But the soldiers don't care about that. They just follow the law. They're either councilors or they can't let you in!

"The law stipulates that citizens have the right to attend Parliament... Don't I even have the right to listen in? " Blanqui roared in anger.

The guard officer curled his lips: "Sorry, the Bourbon's palace's interior is limited, it can't hold so many of you spectators! Moreover, this is still a special period, and I can't let you in … "

"Everyone, back off... Whoever dares to charge forward will be attacking the France's parliament, and will be challenging the basic authority! "

"He wants to make the entire French people his enemy! From south to north, east to west, from home to overseas colonies... This is a common National Assembly of the entire France! "

"No one is allowed to rush in! "Step back …"

Thousands of soldiers yelled in unison, "Back off..." "It's forbidden to attack the council!"

At that moment, the imposing aura of the regular army instantly suppressed these citizens, and many of them subconsciously took a step back. Some of the guns that were hidden in National Guard even fell down.

With a "pa da" sound, a handgun fell to the ground. The expressions of the guards changed drastically as they raised their rifles to aim at the Self-Defence Force.

"How dare you bring a weapon to the council... What are you doing? You want to violently attack the National Assembly! "God, you are going to make enemies of all the people of France!"
