In the Home Secretary's office, located on the edge of Bowo Square, there are two people discussing some business inside.

"Mr. Prime Minister called me over this morning to talk about some political rallies, and he asked us to take care of it." The minister looked out the window at the square and lowered his voice very low, "If necessary, you need to use strong measures. ”

"Political rallies?" Mr. Kong Ze, the High Commissioner of the Ministry of the Interior, was full of doubts in his heart at this time, "Your Excellency, what is a political rally?" If you were to say that the place where politics was discussed was called a political rally, there were millions, perhaps more, of places like France in France. ”

"If it's a normal occasion, of course we don't have to worry about it." The Home Secretary sitting in front of him, though short and unpretentious, still allowed him to show a certain majesty in his position: "He wants us to deal with 'illegal political assemblies.'" ”

Kong Ze was a little confused by the two politicians.

"How do you define the difference?"

Kong Ze's question did not surprise the minister, in fact, when he first heard the prime minister's face-to-face lecture, he was also a little confused. But, at the end of the day, it's easy to figure out.

"As you must know, there have been many people who have been disgruntled with the dynasty lately, and in the name of holding banquets, often organize some gatherings and walk around with radical ideas." The Minister said with a blank face the instructions he had just received from the Prime Minister. "King Bixia's order is to ban this illegal political assembly and, if necessary, arrest the militants in it."

"What are the criteria for judging illegal political gatherings?" Kong Ze was still very calm. Asked the question, "I think I need to figure out the scale you've set for me." ”

"There is no clear standard for this, you can confirm it according to your own opinion. In general, an assembly that is attended by activists and who makes radical statements or spreads rumors can be considered illegal. The minister replied directly.

Kong Ze frowned and thought for a moment, but Zuihou still decided to say what was in his heart.

"Your Excellency, with all due respect, your words directly classify the living rooms of almost all French people as places of illegal assembly. And in almost every café, we don't have the manpower or capacity to do the task you assigned. ”

"This is the task. Your duty is not to question this. The Chancellor grimaced, as if he were a sign of impatience.

Is there anything more frightening to a staff member than a reprimand from a boss? In front of the minister with an unkind face, Kong Ze didn't dare to say anything more, and quickly straightened his waist and responded. "I see. Excellency! ”

Since this is the task of the boss, no matter how troublesome it is, you must find a way to complete it.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the minister no longer spoke, Kong Ze offered his farewell, and the minister nodded.

However, when he was about to turn around and leave, Minister Zuihou sighed slightly, he was still afraid that Kong Ze would understand him wrongly. Causing him unnecessary trouble too positively.

"Ah, Mr. Kong Ze. You need to think about it. Am I still unaware of the current situation? You don't have to be too nervous, no one is asking you to ban all illegal political gatherings and arrest all activists. You just have to do as much as you can, find some particularly bad or high-profile gatherings to do it, and try to complete the task of King Bixia. ”

Kong Ze finally understood the minister's hint at this time.

"You're not going to ......?"

"Of course not, can we get rid of the French?" The minister replied angrily.

Kong Ze felt that he had finally touched the true thinking of this group of politicians, but out of a kind of self-preservation, his face was still full of hesitation.

"Then weishenme, you still have to ...... What the hell should I do......"

The minister pointed up with his index finger.

"He needs us to give him some security right now, so we're going to do our best to fulfill his wish."

"I see......" Kong Ze nodded.

"If only you understood." The minister smiled, "I'm just afraid that if you don't understand and don't grasp the scale, you will cause me a big mess when the time comes, and then it will be troublesome." ”

After explaining the matter, the minister seemed to remember something else.

"By the way, Mr. Prime Minister and I have given you the task of continuing to track down those traitors, how have you done this time? Are there any special findings? ”

Finally asked about this topic, Kong Ze immediately felt refreshed, he took out a few pages from the folder in his hand, and then respectfully handed them to the minister opposite.

"This is our most recent achievement, Your Excellency."

The minister took the pages, skimmed through them for a moment, and then tossed the report aside.

"You can report to me briefly, I don't have time to read so many words one by one."

In other words, he didn't read much of the reports he had carefully prepared before? Kong Ze couldn't help but lament in his heart that his previous efforts had been in vain, but Zuihou could only smile helplessly. Well, that's the prerogative of the boss.

Then, he lowered his head and explained honestly.

"After a number of actions we have had a while ago, the rebels who were once ready to move have now suffered a heavy blow, and their activities have been much more subdued than before, and it is clear that they have now chosen to remain silent for the time being......

"Very well, it's your merit." The minister nodded, "But this is obviously not enough, and now is not a commendation meeting, what I want to hear is not the achievements, but the difficulties and problems you are facing now." Don't be afraid, here, you can speak your mind to me......"

Kong Ze nodded, and then quickly cheered up.

"While we've had some recent successes, we've also recently discovered a new problem. A new wave of rebel shili is now clearly on the move......"

"New Shili?" The Chancellor became more serious.

"Yes, republican radicals."

"What? Did the rats crawl back again? The minister frowned, his hands clenched, and crossed them on the table, "Tell me more about it." ”

"According to the information we have received, there have been a lot of republican radicals who have been operating aggressively recently, and some of them are even radicals who have been exiled from France by the previous government or who have escaped from prison."

"Hateful!" There was some anger in the minister's tone, "Is this how these people treat King Bixia's mercy?" Sure enough, I said a long time ago that only the gallows is the most hode place for them! ”

Kong Ze stood quietly, allowing the minister's anger to vent for a moment before re-speaking.

"Now, these radicals and outlaws have secretly tangled up and formed various associations and organizations, and it is clear that they are not just for chatting, but for something big."

"Hmph, do something big!" The Chancellor repeated sarcastically.

"In our experience, once they are organized and feel that the time is right, these people will come forward and carry out an armed rebellion." Kong Ze's voice was still very low, "Among them, we found that there is a radical organization called the '121 Comrades Association' that is particularly noisy, and there is evidence that this radical organization has been aggressively incitement to the people recently, and is hoarding weapons......

"One-two-one comradeship?" Hearing this rather funny name, the minister couldn't help but laugh, but soon he thought about the meaning of the name, and then he became creepy.

"How...... How? Do these traitors want to repeat 1793? He snapped.

"You need not be angry at the vicious attacks of the traitors, Your Excellency." Kong Ze comforted his boss at the right time, "These people are nothing more than wishful thinking, as a loyal servant of the dynasty, I will never let them succeed." ”

"Hmph." The minister was still angry, and then looked directly at Kong Ze, "It's good that you learned of their existence, much better than your previous colleagues." But that's not enough, Mr. Kong Ze, your next task is to find a way to destroy these republican plots, and send these king's enemies to prison or gallows one by one, understand? ”

"It's my job." Kong Ze bowed deeply, and then replied in a low voice.

"Very well," the minister nodded, "and this is up to you, and only you can have such trust from me." ”

"I will never fail your trust, Your Excellency!" Kong Ze hurriedly expressed his loyalty again.

"As I said that day, as long as you follow me well, your reward will never be less." A kind smile appeared on the minister's face again, "Let it go!" ”

"Yes!"

After Kong Ze left the office with excitement, the minister fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about his situation.

By any respect, the seventeen years of King Bixia's reign to date can indeed be described as many calamities. The Royal, Bonapartist and Republican opponents all professed to overthrow the dynasty as soon as possible, and all of them fulfilled their promises with concrete deeds: the royal party launched armed rebellions in the southern and western Vendées, the Bonapartist mutinies twice, the republican radicals staged barricades in Paris every few years, and there were numerous assassinations or subversionary acts.

Sometimes, even His Excellency himself felt that there were too many enemies of the dynasty.

Once or twice, or eight or nine times, maybe it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. But what about ten times? Fifteen times? Is this dynasty really lucky enough to survive every shock?

Although theoretically speaking, since he became the king's minister, he had to find a way to share the worries of Bixia and his dynasty, but ...... His Excellency the Minister had no intention of being martyred for Bixia and the dynasty.

"As a loyal servant of the dynasty, I will never let them succeed." He remembered the words of his right-hand man just now, and then couldn't help but laugh.

But it doesn't matter, now he's still a tool to earn credit for himself, and it's easy to use, that's enough. (To be continued......)
