Archduchess Xenia was a prolific mother, and after giving birth to a third son for Ferdinand at the end of 1905, his fourth son was born at the beginning of 1908!

Unfortunately, Ferdinand didn't have time to celebrate the arrival of the little one, and a bad news came.

"Your Majesty, King Carlos I was killed on the spot today in Lisbon's Plaza de la Mercancia; Crown Prince Louis. Philip was seriously injured and later died; The second son, Prince Manuel, was also shot in the arm! The attendant hurriedly ran in and said

Ferdinand knew that the matter was big, "killing the king" was a big deal at any time, and more importantly, the two deceased were important members of his Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty, and they were very close to Ferdinand!

The former king of Portugal was also the brother of Ferdinand's father, which means that within a day his cousin hung one, and his cousin also hung one!

"Has the murderer been caught?" Ferdinand asked angrily

Now Ferdinand has to do something, if his family dies and there is no reaction, how can he still mix in Europe?

Oh, his anger is not fake, it is really angry, although Ferdinand usually doesn't think of the family as too big, but he is also one of the beneficiaries of this family after all!

What happened in the Kingdom of Portugal was likely to jeopardize the rule of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty in Portugal, and once the Portuguese crown was lost, it would also be a big blow to Ferdinand, and it would weaken the influence of the entire family in the world, which no member of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty could tolerate!

The maid slurped and said, "Caught, it's still under review!" ”

Ferdinand nodded, he knew that the domestic situation in Portugal had been bad, and the Republicans thought about rebellion every day, but he still didn't expect that someone would dare to kill the king directly!

After all, Carlos I was not alone, and the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty was now in its heyday, a few points stronger than it was in history.

Even if you rebel and expel the king, everyone can accept it, but directly killing the king is challenging everyone's bottom line. It will also be boycotted by royal families all over Europe, even for the sake of family honor Ferdinand has to come forward!

Whether to interfere with Portugal or not, this question is not up to Ferdinand, after all, Bulgaria is far away, and the border chief is not in a hurry, so let Edward in London decide!

Ferdinand thought for a moment and said: "Send a report to the Bulgarian embassy in Portugal immediately and pay close attention to the changes in the situation in Lisbon."

In addition, I contacted the British and the Belgian side to put pressure on the Portuguese government, ordering the Portuguese government to find the murderer as soon as possible and give an explanation to the world!

And tell the politicians in Portugal that we don't mind using extreme measures when necessary, and believe that the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty still has the strength! ”

On this issue, the members of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty have the same position, and the murderers must be severely punished, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure the smooth succession of Prince Manuel, which is the common bottom line of everyone!

Ferdinand didn't know much about what happened in history, after all, Portugal had fallen in this era, and he didn't pay much attention to it in his previous life, and now he can only take one step at a time!

It's a pity that the royal family in Portugal is limited now, otherwise this would be an opportunity to clean up the door! No matter which side of the force it is, as long as it is involved with this, it can be swept away directly!

Now it depends on whether the future Manuel II has the courage to do it, as long as he dares to do it, Ferdinand will support him to the end!

The Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty will be his biggest backing, even if it is a bloody battle, as long as it is handled properly, it will not be a problem!

Well, Ferdinand only paid attention to this problem and passed it, and he was not the original owner, and he had no intention of helping his cousin avenge him.

Of course, if his nephew wants to take revenge, he is also willing to support it, and it is not a problem to contribute money and efforts!

Anyway, he tried his best to save this remaining nephew, unless the politicians in Portugal were really crazy, they wouldn't dare to attack Manuel again!

Not only that, but they also had to keep him safe. Otherwise, Ferdinand would have bothered to organize an intervention army to divide up their colony!

As for his fourth son, he can only say sorry, the closest relatives of the blood have just hung up two, and now is really not a good time to celebrate.

Even if Europeans don't have much taboo about this, Ferdinand still can't get over that hurdle in his heart, thinking that this is disrespectful to the dead!

As compensation, Ferdinand gave him a very domineering name "Caesar", but now this little Caesar - I really can't see - there is anything domineering!

Oh, Ferdinand's eldest son, Ferdinand Jr., has now begun a hellish life of studying, either studying or training every day, and Ferdinand has no involvement in this aspect at all.

Every time he wanted to give little Ferdinand a vacation, he would be bombarded by the two mistresses of the house, on the grounds that every worthy king must undergo rigorous training and hone his will, or else he will become a waste in the future!

By the way, they also cited a series of examples, in their hearts, basically every idiot king in Europe is determined by the education he received since childhood, and even Ferdinand was arrested as a strong man, responsible for teaching the little ones imperial science!

That's right, it's the little ones, even the little Caesar who is still nursing has to listen, no, it should be sleeping next to him, I really don't know what he can understand!

Anyway, whether they understood it or not, Ferdinand had to give the little ones a routine imperial education every week.

After all, Ferdinand is now one of the representatives of successful emperors in everyone's hearts, and he has the qualifications and obligations: to cultivate qualified heirs for the next generation!

Ferdinand now has to be careful every time he goes to class, this can't be messed around, he is afraid that if he is not careful, he will take his sons crookedly!

In order to prevent him from being soft-hearted or lazy, his mother and wife would take turns to supervise.

At first, Ferdinand was ready to educate the little ones into a new generation of model youth, but in the end he still didn't succeed, mainly because he didn't know how to teach them!

As a last resort, Ferdinand had no choice but to tell the story. In his impression, children are still very interested in stories, and they are probably more efficient in learning! The historical stories of ancient and modern China and foreign countries are all cases that the little ones learn.

What political struggles, what the cruelty of the power struggles, what the importance of economic development, etc., are all indispensable, and the focus is on the French Revolution and the British constitutional monarchy.

At the strong request of his mother, Princess Clementina, Ferdinand analyzed the causes and consequences in detail, and brought his own private goods to cultivate the scheming skills of the little ones from the perspective of the biggest conspiracy theory!

No way, who called her Orleans dynasty overthrown? Therefore, she demanded that Ferdinand be vigilant and not allow her grandson to follow in her father's footsteps!

Many times, Ferdinand was worried about whether letting children be exposed to these things from an early age would not raise them crookedly, and it turned out that he really thought too much.

Now is the bridal period between the era of colonialism and the era of imperialism, the survival of the fittest, almost all the children of the old nobles have to learn, let alone the children of the royal family?

It doesn't matter if you have cultivated a conspirator or an unscrupulous politician, if you really cultivate a stupid white sweet, then it will be really over, and it is estimated that it will be the next guillotine!

In this regard, Manuel II, who will succeed to the throne, is the opposite material. Historically, he was fooled into playing liberal politics, delegating power to political parties to form a government, and then a series of infighting turned Portugal into a miasma.

Of course, he still has to carry the final pot. Because every time something happens, the cabinet can step down, but the king has no way to dodge!

In the end, the cabinet kept changing, and the Portuguese people's capacity reached the limit, and the Republicans, seeing that the momentum was not right, pushed the king out of the top cylinder, ending the imperial era.

There is no doubt that the situation in the Portuguese Republic will only become more chaotic in the future, and it will be you who will stop me! It was not until the eighties of the 20th century that the situation in Portugal stabilized!

Ferdinand still had some impressions of what happened to this unlucky nephew, but there was nothing he could do.

A being who thinks that his brain is crooked and incompetent, Ferdinand doesn't think he can handle so many messy parties!

Unless, now that he is stimulated, he can break out once, and take the opportunity to kill his future political enemies on the grounds of avenging his father and brother, anyway, these political party bigwigs are inseparable from this assassination!

Oh, Ferdinand had done this before, but he was a little more clever and successfully dumped the blame on the cabinet, so he is still the perfect king in the eyes of the people!

Of course, even if all this is exposed now, Ferdinand doesn't care, and he can't shake his rule anyway.

Even if the Stam cabinet returns home now, it is useless to push everything to him, and the successful ones are not to blame!

Oh, the point is that Ferdinand controlled public opinion, and anyone must be responsible for what he says, ensure its authenticity, and come up with evidence, otherwise he will be in prison!

Now Nicholas II of Russia, Wilhelm II of Germany and Joseph I of Austria-Hungary are all following some of Ferdinand's policies to consolidate their rule, and public opinion supervision is one of them, but it has been resisted by major domestic forces, and the effect is not very great!

Generally speaking, the dominance of European governments in this plane should be more stable.
