Dan Tai Yunfeng and Leibniz watched the mediation themselves, but there was no result. Although both the theater and the troupe wanted to live a while, as long as Fushou no longer bothered him, Fushou would not let go.

There was no result on the first day. According to the rules of the mediation court, we will contact the two parties tomorrow morning and then conduct a second mediation.

Leibniz was very satisfied with the mediation process. After the end, he came to ask the people of the judicial office for the basic process of mediation. These were not without secrets, and the staff of the judicial office told him frankly.

During dinner, Leibniz was still thinking about this matter. He asked Tan Tai Yunfeng: "I am very surprised. Your Supreme Emperor treated the royal family of the previous dynasty well after taking power. This humanitarian spirit is amazing. Putting aside this matter, I think Mr. Fushou's request makes sense. After all, he is now a citizen of your country. According to my understanding of your country, the reputation rights of him and his grandfather should be guaranteed, right?"

"Yes, that's it." Dan Tai Yunfeng said.

Leibniz asked with a smile: "Mr. Dan Tai, what you mean is that Fushou will win in this mediation or the judicial activities that follow, right?"

"No, on the contrary, I think Fushou will fail." Dan Tai Yunfeng explained: "I just recognize your understanding. Fushou and his ancestors' reputation will be protected. If the clown in the drama "Big Red Hat" is his adopted father Doni, then he will definitely win, because although Doni participated in wars and even commanded one aspect, he was just a fancy way. In history, Doni even refused to go to the front line to participate in the war because of his illness.

The evil facts that such a person can do are limited.

But Duoduo is not, he is the mastermind of the 'Ten Days of Yangzhou' incident."

"What is 'Yangzhou Ten Days'?"

"Massacre! Duoduo ordered his army to massacre a city, and the victims reached hundreds of thousands. Among the imperial laws, this is listed as a crime against humanity and one of the most serious crimes." Dan Tai Yunfeng said, and then explained: "Although many plots in that play are interpreted, Fushou said that there is no historical fact that Dushou did those things, and we can also say that Fushou has no evidence that Dushou has not done those things.

From another perspective, it will not be surprising that a person who has committed a crime against humanity will do anything evil. For example, a thief, you say that he may have killed someone, most people will not believe it, but a murderer, you say that he has stolen something, most people will believe it."

"This is a very correct theory, but... I think the legal standards are the criteria for measuring this matter. I have understood the laws of your country. You cannot make presumptions of guilt, right?" Leibniz said.

Tan Tai Yunfeng nodded: "It is true, but for cases like this, the empire actually has a standard, that is, it cannot undermine political characterization based on national unity. Duoduo is an executioner and a war criminal. This is a matter of being classified, and no case can be reversed. Duoduo is a war criminal, and a criminal deprived of political power. In the deprived political power, there is the power to enjoy reputation.

No one who is nailed to the pillar of history's shame like Dodo will uphold his honor."

"Law is originally profound and complex. It seems that I need to learn a lot." Leibniz was a little helpless.

During the mediation on the second day, Leibniz still insisted on participating, but Dantai Yunfeng did not go. In the evening, Leibniz came back in a hurry and didn't even have time to eat, so he went to find a secretary of Dantai Yunfeng. The reason was very simple. This secretary was a student who graduated from law. When talking about the law of the empire, he was more professional than Dantai Yunfeng.

As a result, Leibniz did not walk out of the office until dinner. Dan Tai Yunfeng had to go and knock on the door: "His Excellency Leibniz, you're off work."

"Oh, is that so, I'm so devoted that I forgot the time." Leibniz then realized and packed up the table with paper, which was what he recorded.

Tan Tai Yunfeng asked: "What happened?"

Leibniz and his secretary agreed to discuss it tomorrow, and hurriedly went to the cafeteria with Dan Tai Yunfeng, introducing the mediation situation of the judicial office today.

The judicial office made a major breakthrough in the mediation of the Fushou case. Fushou still did not give up his demands, but the problem has been resolved. The troupe and the theater are completely freed and no longer entangled by Fushou.

The principle of handling judicial officials in the judicial office is very simple. At least so far, the drama "Big Red Hat" is a legal drama in the empire. Then the performance of the theater and the troupe is a legal act. Fushou should not target the troupe and theatre for any reason. As for Fushou's determination that this drama will damage the family's reputation rights, even if there is, the responsibility is not on the troupe and theatre, but on the author or copyright holder of the drama "Big Red Hat".

So who are the author and copyright owners? This is a bit complicated. Although this play only has a history of half a century, it is difficult for the specific author to trace back. According to the troupe that performed, this play was circulated in Taipei in the pre-Imperial era. It was first known to art groups. It was the creation of frontline soldiers or military artisans when a newspaper interviewed on the frontline.

But there is a second theory in the troupe, saying that this play was created by a former Ming literati who was exiled to Taipei in the pre-imperial era. It was originally just a minor tune and was sung by others, and later it was brought to the stage.

No matter what the statement is, the author can no longer find it. So there is nothing to sue Fushou. But the staff of the judicial office cannot let Fushou go to this point, so he pointed out a clear way for him, that is, to find the General Administration of Literature and Art of the Empire, which is responsible for the licensing and inspection of all literary and artistic works of the Empire. If this department opposes the continued performance of the work "Big Red Hat", it will become a banned work.

This was originally done in accordance with the rules, and all the procedures were legal, but Leibniz found that the staff of the judicial office informed Fushou that they could file a complaint. If the complaint was ignored or failed, they could file a lawsuit against the Imperial Court for the General Administration of Literature and Art.

This shocked Leibniz to the heavens and the people sued the officials. He had never heard of it.

Leibniz's interest was directly picked up, but Fushou chose to think twice before acting. First of all, he had a mission and had to go to Atlantic City to find his brother who had been separated for many years. After completing the inheritance, he was willing to go to other things. Secondly, Fushou is a bit nerd. He received education since childhood, but he went to a private school, which is rare. The three pillars and five constant thinking made it difficult for him to accept the behavior of the people suing the officials, so he did not decide whether to do this in the end.

Leibniz found Fushou specifically and wanted to know what he was thinking, but Fushou just said that he would talk about it when he came back from Atlantic City.

"What, are you going to wait for Fushou to come back in Ceuta? There is no need." Dan Tai Yunfeng was a little surprised by Leibniz's choice, because according to the plan, the Prussian mission will only rest for ten days and will set off south to Cape Town, go to the empire through South Africa, Penang and other places.

Leibniz said: "I think it is necessary. I really want to know the changes in Fushou's mind, which is very meaningful for us to study philosophy."

"But this is contrary to the diplomatic plan between our two countries." Tan Tai Yunfeng said.

Leibniz said that the diplomatic team could set out according to the plan, and the rest of the personnel would stay and go to Xijin, and attend the opening ceremony of the Suez Canal in April next year, cross the Suez Canal and go to the empire.

His reasons are also very good. In addition to the missionary diplomats, the rest are divided into two types. One is scholars who are already famous in Europe. Their stays and leaves are free and do not need to be organized at all. The second is children sent by Prussia to study abroad for public expenses, and these children are between the ages of ten and fifteen.

Leibniz believes that there is no need to let this group of Prussian children go directly to the Empire Shenjing, because most of the children do not even master the basic Chinese, nor do they learn the knowledge learned by students of the Empire's peers, especially science knowledge such as mathematics and physics. These are basic things that can be learned in Ceuta and Xijin.

As a diplomat with complete freedom, Dan Tai Yunfeng could not stop Leibniz from changing his itinerary, and this was more reasonable. It was more appropriate for the Prussians to go to Xijin first. It was a place where Eastern and Western cultures collided. Buffering there can avoid going directly to the mainland of the empire and feeling uncomfortable.

However, Tan Tai Yunfeng made it clear that he could not accompany this itinerary, because before attending the opening ceremony of the Suez Canal in April next year, Tan Tai Yunfeng had an important diplomatic itinerary, that is, visiting the Netherlands and Sweden, among which Sweden was the top priority of this visit.

Sweden has always had a harmonious relationship with the empire. First of all, there is no dispute over interest between the two countries overseas. Sweden is not a colonial power. In the past decade, with the support of the empire, a small colony has been established in Africa, but it is also an optional state. Sweden has been addicted to the competition for major powers in Europe and does not have enough energy to explore overseas.

Sweden is very concerned about trade with the empire. Swedish East India Company has been developing steadily between the empire and Sweden, and has become a large company of considerable size. However, unlike other East India companies who like to engage in monopoly and eventually lose their status, Swedish East India Company has no absolute monopoly position and only has a monopoly of luxury goods such as silk and spices. It is essentially a trading company with fourteen large merchant ships under its name, six of which are large ships with mixed steam and sails.

After the end of the Grand Alliance War, Britain fell into a long civil strife. Its position in the Baltic Sea was replaced by the empire. The empire and the Netherlands controlled the trade dominance in the Baltic Sea, and the relationship between the Netherlands and Sweden has always been relatively friendly. The scale of trade between the three countries has continued to expand.

In addition to trade, the two sides also have huge strategic cooperation space, one of which is that Sweden is an important partner to curb the rise of Tsarist Russia.

After Tsar Peter ascended the throne, Sweden also felt great pressure. At this time, Tsarist Russia had a population of about 12 million, while Sweden had only a few more than 3 million. Although under the wise leadership of Karl XI, Sweden maintained an elite standing army of 70,000 people and more than 40 battleships by establishing an absolute monarchy and a good tax system. It was the number one sea and land overlord in the Baltic Sea, but the times have changed.

The Great Alliance War has proved that once a war breaks out, it is very likely that a full-scale war will enter, and the disadvantages of Sweden's weak national strength will be fully exposed.

Swedish King Carl XI has found the trick to alleviate the lack of national strength, that is technology.

China has advanced military technology, on the one hand, with military equipment technology. In the Grand Alliance War, the Prussian Legion and the Dutch army equipped with Chinese flintlock rifles shined, and Swedish military observers also found that the empire had begun to replace rifled guns in batches, which was another military technology revolution.

On the other hand, the empire had advanced military ideas, which would also bring about a qualitative change in the military's strength.

Therefore, as early as the late stage of the Great Alliance War, Sweden began to conduct large-scale military cooperation with the Empire and learn from the Imperial Army in an all-round way.

In order to raise funds for reform, Sweden has greatly reduced its naval military expenditure. The scale of its naval battleships has been reduced from the peak of forty-four to twenty-four. In addition, some of the battleships have been sealed, and some have been sold directly to domestic merchants to conduct international trade. However, this does not mean that the strength of the Swedish navy is declining, because Sweden has introduced eight steam-assisted battleships produced by the empire in two batches, thus maintaining Sweden's hegemony in the Baltic Sea.

In fact, Sweden's biggest maritime opponent in the Baltic Sea is Denmark. The opponent's battleships are about twenty-six, so they are not at a loss in number. Denmark is too close to the UK and has poor relations with the empire and has not obtained corresponding military equipment.

In the original plan, King Carl Eleven should have his fourteen-year-old son go to the empire to study this year, but due to the death of Polish king Sobesky, the situation in the Baltic Sea changed due to the inheritance of the Polish throne, so the plan was temporarily suspended.
