When fighting a snake, you need to hit the weak point. What is the weak point of the Emperor? In fact, just as Xiao Letian said, the legitimacy of his rule lies.

Napoleon III was not a fool. He knew very well how he restored his life. The old aristocratic capitalists in the country wanted to follow him to safeguard their original rights, and the general public accepted this empire in fact, just hoping that the Bonaparte family would create the glory they once had.

Therefore, during the years of his reign, the Emperor of the French continued to expand overseas and fight, and the news of victory inspired the people and made his personal prestige reach its peak.

In the light of countless victories, the floating emperor actually had a hint of worry. After all, he was not a fool, so he certainly knew the current situation of the empire.

The empire was still very rich overall, but its wealth was over-concentrated in the hands of some people and could not be mobilized, which resulted in the fact that the domestic finances in France have always been very tight.

The money spent on the Paris renovation plan has not been paid off until now. The continuous expansion of overseas colonies has scattered limited troops around the world. I don’t have that much money to expand another 200,000 troops.

Napoleon III was very surprised that his great achievements over the years had actually overdrawn the empire's financial resources. Of course, what he overdrawed was the part he could use.

Of course, he really wanted to start from that group of rich people and squeeze out some benefits, but if you think about it carefully, didn’t he rely on the support of those people to hold the throne of the emperor?

Isn’t this just digging a grave for yourself? Just think about it or give up!

For the current plan, France has the only way to rest and recuperate, change its expansion strategy to shrink, increase industrial investment internally, and then increase welfare for the people to digest social conflicts.

This is the only correct path, but this path is no longer possible. It is not that Napoleon III did not want to walk, but that many people forced him not to walk!

In Xiao Letian's eyes, Napoleon III was like a gang leader kidnapped by public opinion. He didn't want to fight many battles, but he couldn't do it without fighting.

The younger brothers below demanded the expansion of territory and asked the eldest brother to remain strong. If the boss could not continue to expand his territory, then these younger brothers would likely change their ranks or even cause civil unrest.

Poor Napoleon III could only rush forward so hard that he could not stop at all.

What's more, there are countless countries across from him who are staring at him, and are using his weaknesses to make trouble, just like Xiao Letian.

Almost overnight, many bizarre rumors suddenly appeared on the streets of Paris, and all the spearheads of these rumors were directed at Napoleon III.

"Have you heard that in Ryukyu in the East, more than 300 French soldiers and intelligence officers were in death row prisons by the Chinese Guam!"

"They are tortured and beaten every day, and there are countless hard work to do! They are almost half dead now..."

"What you said is wrong. There are not three hundred people in the death row but five hundred! It is five hundred! It is said that there is also a noble knight who is also imprisoned in it!"

"The Chinese have such courage? Those yellow-skinned monkeys with pig tails dare to provoke so much?"

"You don't read the newspaper or read the word. You know nothing! The one who caught us was the Chinese, not the Qing Dynasty, but the one who was assassinated a few days ago but did not die!"

"God! It would be possible if that madman was! But why did our Majesty not take revenge? How could we watch our people be treated like this overseas!"

"Bah... are you still taking revenge? One of our court knights was killed by the Chinese! Even the nobles died in a desperate situation, but the emperor didn't even give up!"

"Really, false! There is still such a thing? It's shame..."

People gathered together and kept muttering!

"What's wrong with our emperor? He did not retreat in the face of the powerful Qing Dynasty and directly captured their capital! Why don't he even take action at all now?"

"Don't mention it, isn't it because of the threat from the Prussians in the north that they can't send troops?"

"Then start a war! Get rid of the Prussians hard, and then let the victorious army go to the east! How can we be so humiliated!"

The taverns, coffee houses, and many people's homes were all surrounded by people. They began to talk, and in the end even more bizarre news came out.

"Have you heard of it? His Majesty the Emperor is too old and no longer has the function of a man... The Queen now relies on a few lovers and guards to solve her physical needs!"

"The emperor is no longer able to do it, and he has no ability in any aspect, let alone the ambition to expand territory! Otherwise, why can't he be tough at all when facing Prussia?"

"Really and false? How is this possible?" This is how the people were born interested when they heard this kind of rumor.

"I don't know whether it is true or not, and I can't take off the emperor's pants and take a look at it with my own eyes... Anyway, your Majesty's momentum is not as good as before in recent years!"

"Do you know, why didn't we participate in the war during the Prussia War, but watched Prussia win?"

"It was not because Pesme promised to cede the land west of the Rhine to us, that our French would not send troops!"

"If it weren't for our French promise, how could he be concentrating on Prussia against Austria? Still want to win? Dreaming..."

"But in the end, Besmai broke his promise! The land west of the Rhine River was not given at all. They denied that they would cheat us like fools!"

"Just like this, Your Majesty has no choice! If you are like this, Your Majesty will not start a war!"

"There is no hope, this empire has no hope!"

Pessimistic rumors spread like wind on the streets of Paris. All the spearheads of various versions were concentrated on the emperor's weakness and incompetence, and some even shouted slogans of losing power and humiliating the country.

The situation in Paris that had just calmed down suddenly became restless again, especially those at the bottom who were low-educated and prone to a feverish mind, who were even more angry.

Under the inspiration of countless thoughtful people, they spread their resentment to the emperor of the empire!

"Check! Check it out for me! Who is walking and rumor? Catch it and kill it without mercy!"

Napoleon III was completely angry. It was unbearable that he was thrown into such a dirty water!

However, such rumors have come and gone without a trace, and it is even more difficult to find the source of their spread than to reach the sky. The senior officials of the Police Department all look like earth.

They were determined to tell the truth but they dared not. At this time, they had to find a scapegoat to appear!

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! This matter is clearly a conspiracy of the Prussians! It must be the rumor they made to discredit His Majesty..."

"Enough! What do you want to say? A rumor made by Prussians, then you go and catch me of Psme! Judgment!"
