........

After a while, several waves of people came over.

Seeing that Karl Ludwig was not awake, and surrounded his bed, some people even secretly wiped away tears.

After all, in this era, even if medical technology is not developed, there are still many accidents.

People say that there is no situation, and this situation is not only encountered by ordinary people, but also by the royal family. Their survival rate is not necessarily higher than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, it is very likely that these people who came to see him came with the mentality of seeing him for the last time.

Some people, who didn't have this mentality at first, saw that he hadn't woken up and looked at it for the last time.

Fortunately, Carl was still awake, and bravely opened his eyes, ready to confront this **** world.

"Carl, how are you feeling now?"

First, the eldest brother Franz Joseph, who walked in quickly, paused again at the bedside, with a concerned expression, but a little less eager.

The eldest brother is actually a skinny little boy. After all, he was born in 1830. He is only 11 years old now, but he looks like a skinny old man.

I don't know if it has been officially announced that he will be the crown prince, or it has been said in private that he needs to look like the crown prince, and his words are also old-fashioned and stable.

"Brother, thank you. I'm much better, don't worry too much. At first, my head hurt, I felt like I was going to die, but now I'm fine."

Carl answered the elder brother carefully. After all, he is both the eldest brother and the king.

"Thirdest, don't be a fool. You seem to have died a few times. It seems that you have experience, and you know what it is like to be dead."

A loud voice came in, also a little boy, also thin, even taller, not much shorter than the elder brother who was two years older.

The overall feeling is a bit wild and uninhibited. It may be natural, or it may be that people relax a lot without wearing that heavy crown.

This unobtrusive little lady should be the emperor of Mexico in history, Maximilian I.

He is an idealist and a poor little man. He was fooled by the old fox Napoleon III and lost his life in Mexico.

"Second brother, thank you, I have never died. Don't everyone say the same about the indescribable pain."

Carl replied seriously to his second brother.

He didn't blame the second brother for his carelessness, as if he didn't care about him. It is estimated that it is this temperament, thinking about his behavior in history, I understand more or less.

"Third brother, you'll be fine."

A timid voice followed behind the second brother, who should be the little girl who was going to have an accident. She is also the fourth eldest of the four remaining siblings, Grand Duchess Maria Anna.

"Yes, it's really okay. When my parents came over, I felt a little dazed. Now that you guys are here, I seem to be all awake. Thank you eldest brother, second brother and younger sister."

Carl sensible thank you one by one.

For the newly released little Carl, although others don't know about it, he still has some knowledge in his heart. These people are actually meeting for the first time, so please take care of them.

Generally speaking, the eldest brother and the second brother have the same appearance, they are both thin, which fit the description of bamboo poles, but their personalities are very different.

The little girl looked just like the famous American child star Shirley Temple. She was fat and very cute.

The brothers and sisters hadn't chatted a few words when they heard "His Majesty Ferdinand I is here".

The four of them quickly stood up, turned to the door, greeted the husband and wife with their eyes, and said in unison, "My emperor is healthy."

"God bless you."

The devout Catholics, the Ferdinands bowed and said:

"My family, in private, don't be too restrictive. The three of you sit down."

Emperor Ferdinand first spoke to the other three, and then to Karl alone:

"Little Carl, lie down."

The old emperor is not old, his actual age is in his 40s, and he looks like a European uncle in his 50s.

The emperor looked good as a whole. You must know that he lived 30 years younger after he abdicated, and died at the age of 83.

His Majesty Ferdinand I has the appearance of a modern man, with a bare face, like an out-of-date creampie.

Although the handsomeness is gone, the charm is gone, but it is not sloppy, nor greasy, at least not with the typical Habsburg beard.

Like Carl's two older brothers, Ferdinand himself is relatively thin, neither kind nor dignified, just a thin and clean uncle.

Although the emperor doesn't seem to have such clear and flexible eyes, at most he is honest and dull. He doesn't seem to have a problem with his intelligence as stated in the history books. Maybe now is his normal time.

"Carl, what's going on? Why did you fall down, do you still have a headache?"

The royal aunt asked. The royal aunt, Maria Anna, was the princess of Sardinia and the second cousin of Emperor Ferdinand I.

Aunt Huang also looked like an ordinary person, she was also thin and not short.

Compared with Mrs. Sophie, she is not as strong as her. Maybe it is more tiring to take care of the emperor. It is said that the emperor has more frequent epileptic seizures.

"Thank you, Aunt Royal. The main reason is that I failed to complete the schoolwork assigned by the archbishop. I felt very guilty, and I was too tired. I accidentally fell asleep when I was repenting, and I fell down without knowing what was going on.

"I had a headache before, but it's much better now. Thank you, Auntie Royale."

Carl repeated the old words. It is also to emphasize that there are many courses, I am still young, and my intelligence has not developed enough, and my small shoulders cannot bear such a heavy religious education.

I also wanted to see if the Uncle Huang and his wife could save me and bring me back from the archbishop.

The uncle Huang and his wife didn't talk much about this topic. Thinking that at that time, my father heard this request and answered a little, and my mother didn't say much.

Karl knew that, firstly, the husband and wife were unwilling to interfere with their younger siblings' education of their children, and secondly, father Franz Karl did not have much power.

It seems that I still have to find the old lady, the villain in the world-famous "Princess Sissi", Mrs. Sophie.

Thinking about it carefully, this is also true. The old man and the uncle were weak in intelligence and also weak in body. Although Ferdinand I lived for 83 years and Franz Karl lived for 77 years, it was considered a long life at that time.

But now, no one knows that they can live for so long, and everyone has the plan that if they say no, they won't.

So Mrs. Sophie had to make up her mind about many things about the four children. This is not like Costin, the queen mother Yehenara Xingzhen, who can take the children of her younger sister and brother-in-law over to raise them by herself.

Regarding everyone's belief that the emperor's brothers may be gone if they say no, this is not nonsense. The main reason is that they are ill and congenitally weak, so the possibility of suddenly disappearing is much higher.

Don't think that the royal family is very powerful, not to mention that a certain emperor died, such a single event, let's say extinction, this kind of overall event, at that time, was also a lot in the royal family.

Just to name a few examples that everyone knows.

Let's talk about the two most famous Napoleon family.

The son of Napoleon I, the king of Rome, Napoleon II, died of tuberculosis at the age of 21 and became extinct;

Napoleon I's nephew, the famous mouth cannon, Napoleon III, his only son, Napoleon IV, was killed by a black gun at the age of 23 (in the British African Expeditionary Force), extinct.

Speaking of the royal family of the Austrian Empire, the focus of this book is also a model of lower-body governance. The Habsburg family has died out from several branches, and only the protagonist of the book remains.

As for the recent situation of the Habsburg family, I can introduce it in detail.

Carl Lu's royal uncle has no children and is extinct.

Father Karl's family was divided into four. Among the four brothers, the eldest brother, Emperor Franz Joseph, gave birth to a son and a daughter. Crown Prince Rudolf committed suicide and became extinct; the second brother Maximilian married and had no children. , extinct; fourth brother Victor did not get married and had no children, extinct.

There is also the Prussian royal family, the second focus of this book, the Hohenzollern family, which also lost several branches. In the late 19th century only two remained, one in Prussia and one in Romania.

There is also the royal family of Haidongqing. This book will also mention that the Aixinjueluo family, in the end, the Tongzhi emperor's family is extinct, and a cousin is needed to succeed him, and the Guangxu emperor's family is extinct, and a cousin is needed to succeed the throne. , The Xuantong Emperor's family has no descendants and is also extinct.

Regarding the issue of the royal extinction, let’s talk about it first, and then go into detail in the necessary chapters.

Despite being a member of the Council of Regents, Archduke Franz Karl, this old man still obeyed his mother a lot, which also strengthened Madame Sophie's strong character.

The reason why she is said to have strengthened her strength is because it is said that she is already strong, which also laid a solid foundation for her to be the villain in Princess Sissi's big movie.

In a word, Mrs. Sophie has to be asked about such trivial matters. Regarding the criteria for identifying major and trivial matters at home, UU reading www. Of course, uukanshu.com was also ordered by Mrs. Sophie.

Just after the uncle and his wife left, the famous Archduke Karl came over as well.

Archduke Karl is a soldier who can be called a military strategist. He was the first person to defeat Napoleon head-on after his rise. It is said that Napoleon himself admitted that among his opponents, Archduke Karl was also good.

Archduke Karl was also bare-faced, with two slender tufts of hair on his temples, unlike the adult Franz Joseph I, who had a thick, long and profuse beard.

"Little Carl, how are you? I think you're still like a calf, so it looks like you're fine."

Archduke Karl is almost 70 years old, but he seems to be in good health. This old guy is the pillar of the Habsburg family and the pinnacle of the Austrian Empire.

It is said that he died suddenly. He was usually as strong as an ox. Once, he drank too much and broke his spine. He died soon after.

"Thank you, Uncle Carl. It's almost done. If you don't go to the archbishop, I can pour you wine again."

When little Carl saw this big man, he planned to take advantage of it.

With Duke Karl's age and stubbornness, I'm afraid it won't work if I want to tell him not to drink. Since drinking is uncontrollable, it would be good to think about how to make Dinghaishenzhen stay for two more years.

"Franz can't pour me wine anymore, and Max is too wild. He didn't pour as much. Well, it's just you, little thing, take little Maria and come to our place to play."

Archduke Karl is a serious man, and he is not thick-skinned, so he can only accept tricks.

"Oh, you can go to Uncle Carl's place to play, have fun."

When Maria Anna heard the news, she jumped for joy.

Carl knew, however, that he had to wait for the approval of the tyrant at home, Mrs. Sophie.
