Li Tuo's reputation in the capital had always been low key, there was definitely someone like him in the government, but people only treated him as an ordinary official!
Military Intelligence Service Zhang Jing, to put it bluntly, had a slightly higher status than the written form. According to the European style of address, this kind of people were called secretaries.
To put it more in perspective, even if this person was an official, his profession would only be like Li Tuo!
There were many high ranking officials in the Beijing like dogs, and they were not much different from Zhang Jing and his penmanship. Walking on the streets, they were no different from normal people!
But Li Tuo was an exception. The yamen he was at was just too high, and Zhang Jing of the Military Intelligence Service dealt with the government affairs of the highest level of the empire.
It was precisely because it was so close to the core of the authority that it attracted so much attention!
They had to pay their respects to the distance between him and the Emperor, even if it wasn't for any other reason … Especially the foreign officials who were far from the capital, every year when they return to the capital to report, they would give Li Tuo and the others a lot of respect.
The reason was so that he could get some protection charms from these well-informed people!
If one thought about it, it made sense. The officials of Yun Guichuan and North Atlantic, regardless of whether they were of the second or third rank, how would they know about the new developments within the capital? How did they know that the princes and ministers had become enemies and reconciled again?
Therefore, he had spent money to buy some top secret information. This was called the protection amulet!
Li Tuo was just a loach, swimming to his heart's content in the capital's pond. Even though it was just a small Zhang Jing, his money was more than the combined wealth of the ten Hanlin House's Qing Liu Clans!
An old loach like this was actually able to make the Prince Chun respectfully say a few words: ”Mister, teach me!” This could also be considered as the smoke coming out from the grave of the Li Tuo family's ancestor!
But Li Tuo could take it as such!
The case of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Golden Seal theft had been solved by someone else, and helping Ci Xi regain his prestige was something that he had come up with, and even sending Ci Xi the capital city was something that he instigated Li Lianying to do!
Ci Xi thought that Li Tuo was her new direct descendant, but no one could have imagined that Li Tuo actually already had his arms around Prince Yi Cong's shoulders. Li Tuo's true identity was the number one strategist under Yi Cong!
”Your Highness! There's no need to guess, Prince Li and Prince Ching are gathered at Duke Gong Palace, which means that their alliance is complete! ”
”Don't forget that Prince Qing is still trapped inside. For him to be secretly let out to attend such a banquet, it means that Manager Lian Xing of Ministry of Internal Affairs has also turned to the Prince!”
”Revenge is in front of our eyes, these two sects are truly amazing!”
”One is the reformist, the other is the conservative faction... It's destined that water and fire are incompatible! ”
”This King has already guessed it. Then mister, how will you fight once you start fighting?” How should This King respond? ”
Li Tuo thought for a while with his eyes closed, ”He should not be able to fight for the time being, the Duke is very smart, he knows that the Emperor is backed by two big factions, the Chinese and British!”
”Once you start a war, defeating New Imperial Army is easy, but the aftermath will not be easy!”
”Your Highness, don't forget, when the Empress Dowager Xi soldiers surrounded the Jingshan, I, Xiao Letian, arrived at the capital with a letter of edict and a letter of blood!”
”Once, won't there be a second time? If Zai Chun was really forced into a corner, they would have to bring out the Chinese Federation Army to report to their king. ”We'll have to watch the liveliness!”
Yi Cong thought that this was true. What's going on with the Great Qing? ”In your own life, you have to listen to others …”
Li Tuo waved his hand: ”Prince, don't complain anymore, even a mortal cannot do anything about the situation! Even though that Xiao Letian is a traitor, his eyes are still ruthless when it comes to times! ”
”Didn't he say before, that in the future, Earth will just be a village? Earth will become smaller and smaller, and you can't close your doors and live a simple life! ”I have to get used to it …”
”Adapt to what? to get used to being involved in other people's affairs all the time? ” Yi Cong was fuming.
