Scattered snowflakes outside the window mixed with the same scattered rain, struggling to fall, leaving the garden and lawn muddy. Otto Feng sat on the sofa with a blanket on his tow and looked at the gray and cold sky outside, the warmth of the fireplace in the study still seemed to be not to his liking, he frowned and looked at the fireplace, and then at the messy sleet outside the window.

Picking up the coffee on the small coffee table, although Otto Feng was already very careful, the tremor of his arm caused the coffee to spill out and splash on the blanket. Otto Feng almost threw the coffee cup back on the coffee table, his eyes closed and he leaned back on the couch, his brow furrowed.

Otto von celebrated his 98th birthday at the Oak Palace last November, having lived a long time in this world, but he still vividly remembers the year he turned four. In the winter of that year, Otto von's great-uncle, Emperor Franz Joseph I, died, and the young Otto and his father Karl I held the coffin at the funeral, which is the earliest scene in his memory.

Otto von remembers that when his father took over as emperor of the empire, he said to him: "From this day on, the throne of the Habsburgs will come to our house." I will pass it on to you in the future, and you will pass it on from generation to generation, so that the throne will remain in our family forever. ”

At that time, Otto was still young, and he could not understand these words of his father, but later he did.

Although the Habsburgs originated in France, their ancestors were of Germanic origin. For more than 1,000 years, especially in the 800 years since the Habsburgs ruled the Holy Roman Empire and became the first family in Europe and even in the world, because of the repeated marriages with other European royal families and nobles, the major royal families and those senior nobles are actually related to the Habsburgs, but far and near.

Historically, the Habsburgs attached great importance to the purity of their blood, and in order to maintain the nobility of their blood, they chose their mates only in a narrow circle of nobles. Over time, the knot came and went, and in fact, it was all cousins getting married, and generation after generation.

The Chinese have long made it clear that close relatives cannot intermarry, and the most basic law is to produce five suits, that is, the two parties to the marriage must not have a common ancestor within five generations. In the past, there was more common sense that the same surname is not married, and even many people have spread the saying that 'Wu' and 'Yu' do not intermarry, because the distant ancestors of these surnames are the same person or brothers.

But Europeans are far less particular than Chinese in this regard, which may have something to do with their cultural roots. Throughout the history of Greek mythology, there is nothing else but chaos, only you dare not think or believe, and you dare not dare to mess without them.

Because of their narrow-mindedness and ignorance in choosing a mate, the Habsburg family suffered greatly, and not only were their children scarce, and early deaths were common, but there were also many defective products that survived, such as sheep epilepsy, real brain damage, and ugly ....... There is a famous word in Europe, the Habsburg chin, which refers to the long, convex jaw that was the signature of Habsburg men in the past, which was extremely ugly.

Many of the most famous kings in Habsburg history were ugly and mentally retarded, and had more seizures a day than they ate. The reason why these emperors were able to govern smoothly and successfully was because of the regency and the senate in the Habsburg royal family.

At that time, there was no genetics, and by the time the Habsburgs realized the problem, to be honest, it was already a little late, and the Austrian Habsburgs and the Spanish Habsburgs broke off the throne because of the lack of male heirs.

But there are always two sides to the story, and two very magical ones.

A small island in New Zealand in the South Pacific, a village in the closed mountains of Guangxi, China, are separated by 108,000 miles, but they have the same thing in common—they are both separated by the famous village of Changshou.

It's a shame to be seventy or eighty years old, ninety-one hundred is the standard, and it's not uncommon to work in the fields in your early teens. When this reporter came to Guangxi, he happened to meet a 110-year-old grandmother who had just returned from the field with a hoe.

After investigation, it was found that two distant places of longevity had the same reason - their earliest ancestors were two brothers and sisters!

Do you say it's unusual? After being explained by geneticists, it is actually not difficult to understand. There are indeed a lot of crooked melons and cracked dates for offspring who marry and reproduce like this, but they will also pass down some very good DNA through the purification and screening of the genes themselves. In other words, those crappy offspring are eliminated because they can't marry their daughters-in-law, and those excellent genes are getting better and better.

Although the Habsburg family does not worry about having no daughter-in-law (husband) when they give birth to any monsters, although their excellent genes after polarization are rare, they are still highlighted by the screening over the years.

When the almost foolish Ferdinand I became the heir to the imperial throne, the senators began to take the issue of family incense seriously. Ferdinand I's father, Franz II, and his mother, Princess Teresa of Naples, were double cousins, meaning that their grandparents and maternal grandparents were the same.

Ferdinand I suffered from severe epilepsy and hydrocephalus, and not only did he have an average of more than 15 convulsions a day, but he also had a speech impediment, and his speech was extremely difficult, and his saliva flowed very neatly.

The Senate decided that it could not go on like this! Although they didn't know what genetics was, they were not blind, so the senators found the best bloodline in the family - Franz Joseph.

It has been traced back to the beginning of Habsburg Lorraine, and there has never been a crooked melon and cracked date in the history of the Koko family, nor has there been a 'Habsburg chin', not to mention the appearance of the handsome man and beautiful woman, not to mention the Habsburg interior, the royal families of all Europe are amazed. Moreover, the average lifespan of Joseph's branch is higher than the average of other family lineages, and he is smart and healthy.

As a result, the Senate chose Franz Joseph I as the heir to the throne of the empire, and soon abdicated the Fool Emperor Ferdinand I. Thus, this was the last male lord of the Habsburgs, and the last glory of the family.

In modern times, San Diego, which has made great achievements in the field of genetics?? Morality?? The University of Santiago de Compostela also confirmed the wisdom of the Habsburg Senate. Through research, tens of thousands of members of the Habsburg family around the world have been investigated, and more than 3,000 genetic specimens have been analyzed. Morality?? The University of Compostela identified the genetic defects of the Habsburg family, and also confirmed that the Coco family was genetically unstained.

Of course, whether the patriarch would hang himself on a tree back then, the Feng family in Otto Feng's vein was the spare tire selected.
