Scattered snowflakes outside the window mixed with the same scattered rain, struggling to fall, leaving the garden and lawn muddy. Otto von dragged a blanket and sat on the sofa looking at the gray and cold sky outside. The fireplace in the study exuded

The warmth still seemed not to his liking. He frowned and looked at the fireplace, then at the messy sleet outside the window.

Picking up the coffee on the small coffee table, although Otto Fon was very careful, the coffee still spilled out due to the shaking of his arms and splashed on the blanket. Otto Fon almost threw the coffee cup back on the coffee table.

, he closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the sofa, frowning.

Last November, Otto von spent his 98th birthday in the Oak Palace. He has lived in this world for a long time, but he still clearly remembers what happened when he was just four years old.

In the winter of that year, Otto von's great-uncle, Emperor Franz Joseph I, passed away. Young Otto and his father, Karl I, held the coffin at the funeral. This was also the earliest scene that remained in his memory.

Otto von still remembered that after his father took over as emperor of the empire, he said to him: "From today on, the throne of Habsburg belongs to our family. I will pass it on to you in the future, and you will pass it on from generation to generation."

Go down and let the throne stay in our family forever."

Otto was still young at that time and could not understand his father's words, but he understood later.

Although the Habsburg family originated in France, their ancestors were of Germanic descent. For more than a thousand years, especially the eight hundred years since the Habsburgs ruled the Holy Roman Empire and became the first family in Europe and even the world, because of their relationship with Europe

Marriages between other royal families and nobles continue to repeat. Nowadays, all major royal families and senior nobles are actually related to the Habsburgs by blood, but they are just distant or close.

Historically, the Habsburg family attached great importance to the purity of their blood. In order to maintain the nobility in their blood, they would only choose their spouses carefully within a narrow circle of nobles. Over time, the marriages came and went, and in fact, they

It's cousins ​​who are getting married, and it happens from generation to generation.

The Chinese have long made it clear that close relatives cannot intermarry. The most basic rule is to give birth to five clothes, that is, the two parties to the marriage must not have a common ancestor within five generations. In the past, it was common sense not to marry with the same surname, even "Wu"

There are many rumors that Yu' did not intermarry because the distant ancestors of these surnames were the same person or brothers.

But Europeans are far less sophisticated than the Chinese in this regard. This may have something to do with their cultural roots. How can a "Greek Mythology" be called "chaos"? Throughout the history of Greek mythology, there is nothing but chaos.

Yes, only you don’t dare to think or believe it, and you don’t dare to mess up without them.

Because of the narrow-mindedness and ignorance in mate selection, the Habsburg family suffered greatly. Not only were their children rare, but they often died young, and the ones who survived were also defective, epileptic, insane, stupid, and ugly...Europe

There is a famous term - Habsburg chin, which refers specifically to the long and protruding lower jaw that was the hallmark of Habsburg men in the past, which was extremely ugly.

Many famous emperors in the history of Habsburg were ugly and mentally retarded. They had more epilepsy attacks every day than they had to eat. The reason why these emperors were able to govern smoothly and achieve great results was because the Habsburg royal family had regents and senators.

meeting.

There was no genetics at that time, and by the time the Habsburgs realized this problem, to be honest, it was already a bit late. The Habsburgs of Austria and the Habsburgs of Spain had cut off their succession to the throne due to the absence of male heirs.

But there are always two sides to everything, and they are two very magical sides.

A small island in New Zealand in the South Pacific and a village in a closed mountainous area in Guangxi, China. These two places are thousands of miles apart, but they have the same extraordinary feature - they are both famous longevity villages.

Living to seventy or eighty years old is simply a disgrace to our ancestors. Ninety-one hundred is the standard, and it is not unusual to work in the fields in your early one hundred. When the reporter came to Guangxi, he happened to meet a 110-year-old grandmother carrying

The hoe has just come back from the fields.

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

Do you think it is strange? After geneticists explain it, it is not difficult to understand. There are indeed many offspring of incest marriages like this, but some very excellent DNA will also be passed down through the purification and screening of genes themselves.

.In other words, the genes of those poor offspring will be eliminated because they cannot marry a wife, while those excellent genes will become better and better after layers of screening.

Although the Habsburg family has no worries about having a wife (husband) no matter what monster they give birth to, their excellent polarized genes, although rare, are still highlighted through years of screening.

When the almost-idiot Ferdinand I became the heir to the imperial throne, the Senate 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.

, that is to say, their grandparents and maternal grandparents are the same.

Ferdinand I suffered from severe epilepsy and hydrocephalus. Not only did he convulse more than 15 times a day on average, but he also had a speech impediment, which made him extremely difficult to speak and drooled very quickly.

The Senate decided that it could not go on like this! Although they did not understand what genetics was, they were not blind. Therefore, the Senate found the best bloodline in the family - the Franz Joseph bloodline.

Going all the way back to Habsburg Lorraine, there has never been a crooked melon or cracked jujube in the history of the Kou Kou family, nor a 'Habsburg chin'. The appearance of that handsome man and beautiful woman is not to mention Habsburg.

Inside the castle, royal families from all over Europe were amazed. Moreover, the average lifespan of Joseph's branch was higher than the average of other family lines, and he was smart and healthy.

As a result, the Senate selected Franz Joseph I as the heir to the throne of the empire, and soon asked the foolish emperor Ferdinand I to abdicate. Thus, the last Habsburg hero was born.

It was also the family's last glory.

In modern times, the University of Santiago de Compostela, which has made great achievements in the field of genetics, has also confirmed the wisdom of the Habsburg Senate.

Through research, investigating tens of thousands of members of the Habsburg family around the world, and analyzing more than 3,000 genetic samples among them, the University of Santiago de Compostela identified the Habsburg family.

The defects in the genes also confirmed that the Kou Kou family was genetically untainted.
