The candlelight swayed in the hall of mirrors, and the shadow of Napoleon III was dragged long. The words of the police chief touched the most feared weakness in his soul.

There were no servants in the hall of mirrors, only the desks in the huge palace, and the rest of the place was sunken in the darkness. Napoleon III quietly walked to the wine cabinet like a ghost, and took out a bottle of wine-slurry and green spirits from the corner.

Pull out the bottle cap, pour the green wine into the crystal cup, a silver carved silver spoon was placed horizontally at the mouth of the cup, and a delicate sugar cube was placed on it.

Napoleon III seemed to be performing some kind of ritual. He didn't drink any wine but looked at it carefully, muttering to himself something.

Then he picked up a bottle of ice water soaked in ice cubes and gently put it down on the sugar cube drop by drop. It was very slow, and the sugar cube was soaked in the ice water. The spoon was actually a delicate colander. The water that was soaked in the sugar cube sweet slurry dripped into the green wine slurry, and soon a layer of white suspended liquid emerged.

At that moment, Napoleon III's facial expression suddenly became relaxed, and a strange fragrance of celery began to permeate.

The water did not take too much, and the sugar cube did not melt. After a while, Napoleon III lit a match and came to the sugar cube. The pure sugar cube began to burn slowly. The light blue flame quickly melted the sugar cube. The melted syrup dripped into the wine, and the aroma became stronger and stronger.

At the end of the burning, Napoleon III skillfully turned the sugar cube from the spoon into the wine, and then quickly buckled it on the wine glass with another cup, and then the flame quickly extinguished.

"Absinthe... Devil's drink please relax my consciousness and let me find the answer to the question..."

In the hands of Napoleon III is the very famous European medieval spirit absinthe. This kind of spirit wine with a minimum alcohol content of more than 70 degrees is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

Because there is a lot of mugwort soaked in it, and the substance released by mugwort is second only to drugs, this spirit liquor was banned by many countries in the early 20s. Even in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, this hallucinating spirit liquor was accused by traditional religious people and was called the devil's drink.

Napoleon III was not addicted to drugs, but he also needed some way to relieve mental stress. I am afraid that ordinary French red wine can no longer relieve his sadness. Trying absinthe with an alcohol content of 75 degrees is also a good choice.

At this moment, the green absinthe had already appeared in some white turbidity, and the strong stimulating aroma at the entrance made Napoleon III's eyes blurred.

Thanks to the sweetness of ice and sugar cubes to relieve the pain in the throat, it would be difficult to swallow. In this way, the Emperor could feel a sensation of needle prick in his throat, and the absinthe was so cracked.

But the effect of the medicine is really extraordinary. He had just one-third of his eyes lost after a large glass of wine.

"There are those leftists? Hahaha...they are those Republicans again! They still don't give up..."

"Damn Xiao Letian! What kind of demonic changes are you? Why can you always hit my weaknesses... Do you know France more thoroughly than me?"

"No, no, that's impossible. How could he, an Easterner, understand the West so much? Isn't that country a group of idiots governing..."

"But... But maybe Xiao Letian is the whip of God, he is a genius who has never been seen in a thousand years. He can explore all the truth of the human world, wuwu..."

Crazy, Napoleon was really crazy. He was actually talking to something that did not exist in the void, his eyes were distracted, as if Xiao Letian was floating in the sky.

The face of Xiao Letian flying in the sky was like a fog and could not see clearly. But the Emperor knew that Xiao Letian must be the one who turned around on his head.

"Dear Prince, have you forgotten the Revolution? Those thugs who occupied the left side of the parliament, they killed the king and the queen!"

"You will not forget, because from that day on, the left or left-wing forces began to show their strengths in this world... These extremists have always liked to use disruption of order to achieve social progress!"

"It's better to be a rightist, so gentle, so conservative..."

The Head of the East and the Emperor of the European Emperor, two men standing at the peak of the human world, actually developed a soul-connected connection with a glass of devil vermouth.

Perhaps Xiao Letian could really feel this feeling of leaving the body at this moment, and the two peak men actually began to discuss the French Revolution.

Modern people are familiar with the names of leftists and rightists in the political circle. Sometimes people even call the leftists the Eagle Card and the Rightists the Doves. Even the leftists are all war madmen, while the rightists are all cowards.

In fact, these statements are not correct. The left and right, or the left and right, actually all originated from the French Revolution.

In the parliament at that time, the members who supported the strong reform and broke all the aristocratic imperial system gathered together and sat on the left side of the hall, while the members who occupied the right side supported the aristocratic system and the imperial power.

At that time, it was said that the imperial power and nobles were abolished and republic were renamed. This group was called the left. Anyway, those who supported the tradition and preserved the imperial system and refused to reform were called the right.

As time goes by, the definitions of left and right have also changed a lot. In the republic system that has abolished the imperial system in later generations, there are actually divisions between left and right in countries.

Generally speaking, the left tends to change and revolution, and they like to break past rules and create new orders and industrial wealth from destruction.

The rightists are relatively conservative. They are unwilling to make major changes to the existing order. They are unwilling to accept the aphrodisiacs of change and only like to cure big countries like cooking small foods.

It doesn’t matter whether it is right or wrong, these are just two philosophies of radicalism and moderateness.

However, in the era when Napoleon III was in power, the leftist power was extremely dangerous for him, because the leftists at that time were Republicans, and they wanted to overthrow the throne of Napoleon III and restore the rebellion.

Why did France lose the French-Prussian War? When Prussia surrounded Paris, why did the socialist organization, the Paris Commune, appear? How did the Internationale be born?

The root of all this is closely related to the contradiction between the left and right within France.

In the war, why was the French emperor's army less mobilized than Prussia? That's because the hearts of the French people in that era were not ironclad at all.

Xiao Letian has already seen through everything, and he has long analyzed the superficial and deep reasons why France will lose.

The national strength was obviously several times stronger than Prussia, but it was defeated on the battlefield, and even in the previous stage of combat readiness, it was not as efficient as Prussia.

Why is this? That's because leftist ideas began to spread widely among the people at that time.
