Golden Greenery

"Mr. Thomas Feng, you are such an interesting person." Zhuo Yang smiled: "Can I know your attitude towards this matter?"

"Mr. Zhuoyang..." Thomas Feng adjusted his sitting position on the single-seater sofa. "Look, you and I are actually about the same age. I'm a few years older. Otherwise, you and I don't have to be so polite. I'll call you Zhuo Yang and you call me Thomas. How about that?"

"It's better to obey than to be respectful! Okay, Thomas."

"Zhuoyang, I know very well that we are in the 21st century now, and some outdated opinions and arguments have gradually become inappropriate. The love between you and cousin Christine... To be honest, I have no opinion on it."

"Oh, I'd love to hear the details."

"Zhuoyang, it's like this. From my point of view, I won't bless you and Kristine's love just because you are a big star, because the only criterion is my cousin's happiness. If Kristine likes it, If she can be happy, no matter who it is, Zhuoyang or anyone else, I will sincerely wish her the best. From the current point of view... Zhuoyang, I am happy to see Christine and you together, because, my lovely cousin, she I’m happy and that’s what matters most.”

"Hahaha... Thomas, your answer is very skillful. However, I like to listen."

"Zhuoyang, I actually don't agree with my grandfather's actions, but I am his grandson, and coming here represents his attitude. So, I will tell you that I hope you can take the initiative to leave Christine. But in the future Speaking in a private capacity, Zhuo Yang...congratulations."

"Thomas, you are such a wonderful person. Although the news you bring makes people very unhappy, I don't hate you at all. I even like you a little."

Thomas Feng laughed easily: "Zhuoyang, maybe you and I can become friends."

"I don't object to this." Zhuo Yang agreed.

"However, the views I expressed in my private capacity just now will not be acknowledged outside my mouth and into your ears."

"Hahaha..." The two laughed together.

Thomas Feng's goal was achieved. Not only was he able to abide by the family's rules and the family master's orders, he was also able to be flexible. He not only clearly expressed the attitude of the main line of the Habsburg family represented by Otto von, but also tactfully established a friendship with Zhuo Yang, leaving a way for himself and the Habsburg family to move forward and retreat freely.

"Thomas, may I know that I did not agree to your Habsburg request today?

What methods will you use to deal with me? "

"Hahaha..., Zhuoyang, you are worrying too much. Habsburg has the pride of Habsburg, so why talk about any means? But the Habsburg family has great influence in the upper class and aristocratic circles. The Grand Duke The attitude of the family will determine many people's views on this matter. And Zhuoyang, to tell you the truth, according to the tradition of the Habsburg family, weddings of direct family members must be presided over by the family head to be valid, and the Holy See will only send someone if the family head comes forward. Advocate at the wedding. Without these, the wedding will not be recognized by this circle."

Zhuo Yang frowned. This new problem appeared, which was very serious for him.

The Kou Kou family lives in a circle, and they have to follow the rules of the circle. If Kou Kou breaks away from the aristocratic circle or even the entire family because of herself, it is not impossible, but that would not be beautiful.

After a long silence, Zhuo Yang asked Thomas Feng: "Thomas, if you were me, what would you do now?"

"Zhuoyang, true love will definitely stand the test of time. You are only 25 years old. It is normal for men from the Habsburg family to get married in their thirties and forties. If I were you, I would wait patiently and don't fight rashly. The whole class, be patient. You know, my grandfather... the Grand Duke, he is 94 years old."

After walking out of the Cultural Oriental Hotel, Zhuo Yang was in a very unhappy mood. Although Thomas Feng's words meant that his grandfather might not live long, it was impossible to say for sure. The old guy couldn't bear it even if he lived for another ten years. !

Because he was depressed, he didn't have the intention to drag Thomas to get to the bottom of it just now, and it wasn't appropriate to talk too much if he wasn't familiar with him, but now Zhuoyang really wants to know more about Habsburg and Otto von.

Kou Kou did not tell Zhuo Yang too much about her family's grievances. It was boring to tell too many secrets. Zhuo Yang only knew that the relationship between Joseph's lineage and the head of the family represented by Otto von was not close. He did not know that the tragedy of Mrs. Meredith, Coco's ancestor, was actually related to Archduke Ferdinand, nor did he know that he and Coco's relationship There is also a fool named Ergul among the emotions.

Zhuo Yang didn't call to ask Kou Kou. He didn't want to cause her trouble. After thinking for a long time, he contacted Joan Laporta and went to find him to find out.

Laporta is not a direct lineage of Habsburg, or even a collateral lineage. He does not even have a Habsburg surname. He is at best a peripheral member who has no connection with Habsburg. However, Laporta has great influence on Habsburg. But he knows the family secrets very well.

From cousin Joan Laporta, Zhuo Yang learned for the first time that the Joseph family and the Otto von family were so irresistible, and that their ancestors had a blood feud.

However, the Otto von family did not admit that their ancestor, Archduke Ferdinand, had anything to do with the fact that their great-grandmother, Meredith, and her family were exterminated, and that their grandson, Archduke Hubert, had been displaced for half his life. This was because there was indeed no solid evidence, and everything came from the past. An obscure imperial court archive of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

On Christmas Eve a hundred years ago, the Meredith family was attacked by an unknown knight, and the emperor's grandson Hubert was also missing. His Majesty Emperor Franz Joseph I was furious and investigated the matter personally.

Half a month later, the emperor's personal guards surrounded the rifle battalion of the Imperial Guards and arrested all 45 soldiers of one of the guards. Only Lord Cheglen, the captain of the guard, got wind of it in advance and escaped.

After being tortured, the members of the Guard admitted that they had attacked the mill, but that they were acting under orders. The order for the battle came from the Captain of the Guard, Lord Cheglen, who had a secret order stamped with the royal seal.

45 Guards soldiers were all secretly executed by the emperor's order, but Lord Cheglen, the only one who knew the inside story, disappeared. And he was Ferdinand's confidant, and the emperor had reason to believe that Ceglun had been silenced by his nephew Ferdinand.

These are all the clues. Everything is the speculation of Franz Joseph I and Princess Sissi. Archduke Ferdinand and his descendants have never admitted that they are related to this matter. A hundred years have passed by in a hurry, and now the Joseph family does not want to avenge their ancestors. They just want to make things clear, find an explanation for the suffering of their ancestors, and comfort the sorrow of their ancestors and Princess Sissi.

This incident became an insurmountable obstacle between the Archduke of Austria and the Archduke of Habsburg.

Zhuo Yang also learned a lot of information from cousin Qiao An that he didn't know before. He knew that the next head of the Habsburg family would be Thomas's father Carl von, and he also knew that Thomas was a young hero in the European aristocratic circle.

The question is: after you have tortured Otto von to death, do you need to torture Karl von again?

Zhuo Yang became even more depressed.

"Zhuoyang, don't worry. In fact, the Habsburg family has nothing to do with you. They are also afraid that you will expose these things to the media. The older the family, the more hypocritical they are. They want to save face and suffer. The Habsburg family is most afraid of you exposing it. table."

"However, this will be very bad for cousin Kou Kou. She will live in the pain of breaking up with the family all her life. So Zhuoyang, no matter what you do, you must think twice and think more about Kou Kou."
