After listening to this story, Leibniz didn't speak for a long time. He followed Dan Tai Yunfeng like a walking corpse and followed him to a luxuriously decorated teahouse. The performance of the tea art master did not receive any response from Leibniz, and his thoughts were still completely immersed in the opera called "Big Red Hat".

"I think this seems to be a drama that criticizes the oppression of the nobles, right?" Leibniz asked.

Dan Tai Yunfeng was shocked: "Yes, Leibniz, you have a lot of insight, that's it. The original version of this opera actually exposes the exploitation and enslavement of our Chinese by the Qing Dynasty, but after the improvement of the Empress Dowager, it became different. It became the oppression of the people by all feudal forces. Not only Duoduo but also corrupt officials, but also the pedantic village clan leader in the village, are all clowns in this drama."

"But I don't understand, Lord Dan Tai, aren't you also a noble? Isn't your country's empress dowager also a noble? Why do you do this... Isn't this what you said? Is it a stone to smash your own hands?" Leibniz said.

Dan Tai Yunfeng quickly pointed out his mistake: "It's feet, not dihao, pay attention to your pronunciation, otherwise it will cause misunderstandings."

"Okay, I'll pay attention, but please answer my questions," Leibniz said.

"In fact, the reason is very complicated. First of all, we must make sure that the aristocrats in our country are different from the aristocrats in Europe. The aristocrats in the two countries do have privileges compared to ordinary people, but the most important privileges of the aristocrats in our country are political power. The aristocrats own the Senate and are one of the two major legislative bodies of the empire. However, in law, the aristocrats and common people are equal. The legal privileges of the aristocrats are limited to the name of maintaining dignity. They conduct non-public trials with the consent of the other party and the judge.

The nobles of the empire are different from you. We do not pay attention to blood, but only look at merits. For example, my marquis title is half derived from my wife being the princess of the imperial royal family, and half because of my contributions to the army and diplomacy. Our titles are reduced to the title, such as my son. If he did not establish merits for the empire, he could only be an earl. And the other child is at most viscount. If I have four children, the fourth one can only exist as a lord. This is a noble status and has no salary." Dan Tai Yunfeng explained.

Leibniz still shook his head: "I still can't understand. In your China, the nobles are still part of the rulers. So why is it to promote anti-noble?"

"Because our country has another important authority, the National Assembly. This is a representative elected by all the people. They do not want the empire to become a country completely ruled by nobles."

"This makes sense, but there is another question, why did the Empress Dowager participate in the revision? Isn't she afraid that this trend of thought will affect the throne of her descendants?"

Dan Tai Yunfeng smiled and said, "There is a saying in China that the barbarians have no national fortune for a hundred years, and the Han Dynasty will be killed after three hundred years of prosperity. In other words, the rule of foreign races will not exceed a hundred years, and the rule of the Han people will not exceed three hundred years. Since the Qin Dynasty entered the feudal era, this has almost formed a law. Even in the feudal era when people's wisdom has not yet been opened, the rule of a royal family could not last for three hundred years, let alone now.

In the eyes of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, one generation does what one generation does. Now this era still belongs to the royal family, but the future may not be. Perhaps in thirty or fifty years, we will not need the royal family. Therefore, the imperial power is on a downward trend, and the only thing we can talk about is the throne, but that is just a hat. There is no imperial power that has been passed down for generations, nor is there a throne that has a series of immortals."

Having talked about this, Dan Tai Yunfeng's secretary came in and handed him a document.

"What is this?" Leibniz asked.

Tan Tai Yunfeng said: "In order to watch the drama "Big Red Hat", I asked my secretary to find the local chief executive. The adult thought I was interested in this case, so he reported the relevant situation."

"Isn't this an ordinary security case?" Leibniz said. In his eyes, what other major problems can be caused by fighting.

Tan Tai Yunfeng smiled and said: "The nature is different. The perpetrator Fushou refused to accept mediation and criminal punishment, and instead went through judicial procedures and sued the court."

"What can he sue?"

"What he meant was that the drama "Big Red Hat" humiliated the ancestors and damaged the reputation rights of the Aisin Gioro family. He asked the court to make a judgment that it would prohibit the re-enactment of "Big Red Hat"." Dan Tai Yunfeng handed the information to Leibniz.

"It's really interesting. Didn't you say that the plot of Dodo is a historical fact?" Leibniz smiled.

Dan Tai Yunfeng thought about it and carefully explained the history of Dodo to Leibniz. The background of the drama "Big Red Hat" is a historical fact. Dodo did rob the beauty of Jiangnan to send the Manchurian sect king. There is no doubt that this is the plot of Dodo** and abuse, which is the processing and interpretation of art. It is true that people like Dodo can do such a thing, but in essence, there is still details without historical basis.

"How is this case solved now?" Leibniz asked Dan Tai Yunfeng's secretary.

The secretary said: "It is such an honor. The sheriff has resolved the dispute between Fushou and actor Li Sange. Fushou has to bear the medical expenses of everyone and give the actor a total of 1,400 yuan in compensation. Because the two parties reached a settlement, the criminal punishment was cancelled and changed to a 50-day labor reform penalty. At the same time, Fushou compensated the theater for all material losses and suspension losses. Now the theater is being renovated and can continue to open tomorrow.

However, Fusuo refused to apologize to the troupe and theatre, and asked them to apologize and compensate for their reputational losses, and would never perform this drama again. He also asked the government to officially announce the ban on performances in the name of destroying national unity and damaging the reputation of others, and asked creators to report and apologize, etc.

Because of these unreasonable requirements, this matter has not been resolved. The judicial office, together with the Public Security Office, the Administrative Office, the Xijin Business Association and other official and semi-official units will start their first mediation at 4:00 this afternoon.”

Leibniz asked: "Then can we go and see?"

The secretary dared not answer and looked at Dan Tai Yunfeng.

As the empire's ambassador to Europe, Dan Tai Yunfeng generally does not participate in the management of such matters, but he is an imperial nobleman. As a noble, he has a legal privilege, that is, he can supervise the judiciary. Except for a very small number of military courts, all judicial activities of the empire are entitled to participate, but he is not allowed to speak.

"Yes, but Mr. Leibniz, we can only see, not..."

"I only bring my ears." Although Leibniz is fifty years old, he is still as excited as a child when facing an interesting matter.

"Okay, you go and arrange it." Dan Tai Yunfeng said to the secretary.

Ceuta has no courtroom because it is a very small city and the local government system is not sound. Even the Administrative Office was established this year. In the past, the Military Control Commission was under management, and the sheriff was directly taken turns to be the officers of the Marine Gendarmerie Company of the local garrison. Now it is a platoon leader.

There is only one judicial office in the local area, with seven people, but none of them have real judge qualifications. They are not responsible for any judgments and only provide legal services. Most of the matters are mediated. If they really cannot be resolved, they have to go to the court in Xijin to resolve the matter. Fushou is the first tough guy I encountered.

Ceuta's cases are usually very small civil disputes, just a little mediation is enough, either it is a dispute between merchants. Although it is very disturbing, Chinese merchants have always been kind and make money, and the chances of causing trouble in court are not high.

The judicial office is located in a corner of the Administrative Office, and the office conditions are really limited. In this mediation, the two parties involved in the case, as well as mediators, neutral parties, and Dan Tai Yunfeng and other supervisors who were temporarily added, were more than 20. The office was really unavailable, so it occupied the small canteen of the Administrative Office.

When Dan Tai Yunfeng arrived, everyone stood up to welcome him, and the sheriff paid tribute with military salutes. Dan Tai Yunfeng signaled that he would not have to be too polite and continue to work. He and Leibniz chose to sit at the end. This was the first time that the two of them had seen Fushou.

I thought this guy who was fighting in the theater and was still entangled with endless worries was a fierce guy with tattoos, but I didn't expect that he was just a fat man in his early twenties with delicate skin and a little gentle, and even spoke a little softly. This kind of person is familiar with Dan Tai Yunfeng. Shen Jing has many noble families, rich clothes and food, and children grow up among women. This is the virtue.

The secretary also provided information from all parties concerned. The troupe was a consolation group hired by the Imperial Central Government in various provinces. This consolation group usually takes part in the actions of some military and political officials who went to remote areas to comfort the local people and the army. This consolation group is relatively large in size. Its destination is the Suez region, which comforts local imperial workers and participates in the performance of the opening ceremony of the Suez Canal. However, due to some accidents, the canal, which was originally scheduled to be started this year, was changed to April next year, and the consolation group could not go back, so it went to overseas provinces of the empire such as Xijin, Malta, and Ceuta, and could also make a small profit.

The origin of Fushou is relatively legendary. He is the eleventh son of Yue Le, a foreign vassal prince of the Manchu Empire and the youngest. When Yue Le joined the empire in the southeast, he made great contributions and was named the prince. He moved to Hetuala and became a nobleman of the foreign vassal family. Many of his descendants worked in the Lifanyuan. Fushou was the son of Yue Le when he was old. According to the rules, Fushou had no title to inherit, and he could only obtain the status of a nobleman of a lord. However, Yue Le loved this child very much, so he left him a lot of property.

When Fushou was thirteen years old, Yue Le believed that he had not had much time, and the child was not close to his brother, and his mother had passed away, so he adopted Fushou to his cousin Doni.

This Doni is the son of Dodo. Although he wanted to surrender in the process of restoring Beijing, he was still captured and captured. He was transformed in the Changping War Criminal Management Office. Compared with Emperor Shunzhi and others who sincerely accepted the transformation, changed his mind and became a new person, Doni had more problems. He always participated in the transformation half-true and half-false. He was very active in labor reform, but he was not active in learning new knowledge and culture. This was related to his nature. Doni was not a material for learning since he was a child, and he became sleepy when he read books.

Moreover, Doni was very gossipy and could chat with anyone in the later stages of the management office, whether it was a war criminal or a manager. Because Doni believed that he took the initiative to surrender, but the empire did not accept it, he was resentful of the empire because of this, Doni was the third last group of war criminals to be pardoned.

But Doni Chengcheng was in this gossip. After being pardoned, he wrote letters to thank the Empire in a sloppy manner, but devoted all his energy to his works and published a book that describes his experience in the War Criminal Management Office in detail. It was different from the memoirs of others and the text was steady. Doni was humorous and wrote some interesting stories, so he was very popular. Doni received a large royalty fee and returned to Hetulala and lived a good life.

His family had long been beaten to become a war criminal because of him, either remarried or died. Doni was alone. Seeing that Fushou, the child was honest and cute, he accepted Yue Le's kindness and adopted him as his adopted son.

Fushou is also very filial. This time he fought with people in the theater. In fact, it was not unreasonable, but because he paid attention to filial piety.

When Dan Tai Yunfeng and Leibniz heard the vendors talking about the fight, they thought Fushou had beaten several actors with his entourage. In the mediation court, they realized that Fushou had never fought since he was a child. This time, he couldn't suppress his anger. He rushed to the stage to hug the actor, crying and biting his butt.

The more detailed the situation is, the more people's bad comments on Fushou will disappear. Especially when people from the judicial office asked why Fushou came to Ceuta.

It turned out that after Doni died, he left a lot of property. According to the laws of the empire, these property belonged to Fushou. Fushou was not only Dushou adopted son, but was by his side for eight years and was filial to everyone.

But when he was sorting out the relics of Doni, Fushou realized that Doni had a concubine and a biological son who were still alive. When he was restored, the concubine escaped with his son and remarried to a Mongolian Taiji. Later, Taiji settled in Xijin with King Yu in the west. Because of his remarriage and his identity as a war criminal, although he had been in contact for several times, neither the woman nor the child wanted to recognize Doni.

After reading the letters, Fushou found that after the Mongolian Taiji died in battle, his family was ruined because he was not good at managing his property and his family was in trouble. Fushou traveled thousands of miles to Xijin, hoping to share some of the royalties left by Doni to them. However, after arriving, he realized that the brother named Ezha had no title after the reform of the foreign vassal states, so he chose to move to Atlantic City with his family. Fushou set out to Atlantic City again. When he passed by Ceuta, he committed such a thing.

Fushou has realized that fighting is wrong and destroying other people's property is not right, and is willing to bear it, but he cannot accept the drama "Big Red Hat".
