Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 4, Problems of the next generation

Grand Duchess Xenia deserves to be a prolific mother. After giving birth to Ferdinand's third son at the end of 1905, his fourth son was born in early 1908!

It's a pity that before Ferdinand had time to hold a celebration for the little guy's arrival, a bad news came.

"Your Majesty, King Carlos I was killed on the spot in Lisbon's Avenue Commercial Plaza today; 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 the big deal. "Regicide" is a big event at any time. What's more important is that the two deceased were important members of his Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty, and they were with Ferdinand The relationship is very close!

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

"Has the murderer been caught?" Ferdinand asked angrily \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Now Ferdinand has to do something. If his family members die and there is no response, how can he hang around in Europe?

Oh, his anger wasn't feigned, he was really angry. Although Ferdinand usually didn't take the family too seriously, he was one of the beneficiaries of the family after all!

What happened in the Kingdom of Portugal is likely to endanger the rule of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty in Portugal. Once the Portuguese crown is lost, it will be a big blow to Ferdinand, and it will weaken the entire family. Worldwide influence, this is something that no member of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty can tolerate!

The maid said hesitantly: "I caught it, and it's still under review!"

Ferdinand nodded. He knew that the domestic situation in Portugal had always been bad. The republicans were thinking of rebelling every day, but he still didn't expect that someone would dare to kill the king directly! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

After all, Carlos I was not alone. The Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty is now in its heyday, stronger than in history.

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

Whether or not to interfere with Portugal is not something that Ferdinand can decide. After all, Bulgaria is far away, so there is no need to worry about it. Let Edward in London decide!

Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "Immediately report to the Bulgarian Embassy in Portugal and pay close attention to the changes in the situation in Lisbon.

In addition, contact the British and Belgium to put pressure on the Portuguese government, ordering the Portuguese government to find the murderer as soon as possible and give the whole world an explanation! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

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

On this issue, the members of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty are all in the same position. The murderer must be severely punished, and at the same time, Prince Manuel must be guaranteed to succeed to the throne. This is the common bottom line of everyone!

Ferdinand didn't know much about what happened in history. After all, Portugal had already declined in this era, and he didn't pay much attention in his previous life. Now he can only take one step at a time!

It's a pity that the strength of the royal family in Portugal is limited now, otherwise this would be an opportunity to clean up the family! No matter which side it is, as long as it has something to do with this, it can be wiped out immediately!

Now it depends on whether the future Manuel II has the courage, as long as he dares to do it, Ferdinand will support it to the end! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

The Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty will be his biggest backing,

Even if it's bloodshed, as long as it's handled properly, it's not a problem!

Well, Ferdinand just paid attention to this issue and passed it. He is not the original owner and has no intention of avenging his cousin.

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

Anyway, he tried his best to keep the remaining nephew. Unless the politicians in Portugal were really crazy, they would not dare to attack Manuel again!

Not only that, they must also ensure his personal safety. Otherwise, Ferdinand would also mind organizing an intervention army, just carve up their colony and forget it!

As for his fourth son, he can only say sorry. Two of his closest relatives died just now. Now is really not a good time to celebrate. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Even though Europeans are not very taboo about these things, Ferdinand still couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart, thinking that this was disrespect for the dead!

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

Oh, Ferdinand's eldest son, Ferdinand Jr., has now started a hell-like study life. Every day is either studying or training. Ferdinand has absolutely no hand in this aspect.

Every time he wanted to give little Ferdinand a holiday, he would be bombarded by the two mistresses of the family. The reason was that every qualified king must go through strict training and hone his will. Otherwise, it will become waste in the future!

By the way, they also listed a series of examples. In their hearts, basically every idiot king in Europe was determined by the education they received since they were young. Even Ferdinand was arrested and responsible for teaching the little ones about emperors! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

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

Anyway, regardless of whether they understand it or not, Ferdinand has to give the little ones a routine education on imperialism every week.

After all, Ferdinand is in everyone's hearts, and now he is also one of the representatives of a successful emperor. He has the qualifications and the obligation: to train the next generation of qualified heirs!

As a result, Ferdinand now has to be careful every time he attends class. This can't be messed up. He is afraid that if he is not careful, he will lead his sons astray!

In order to prevent him from softening his heart, or being lazy, his mother and wife will take turns to supervise.

At the beginning, Ferdinand planned to educate the little ones into a new generation of model youths, but he failed in the end, mainly because he didn't know how to teach them to be reliable! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Forced to do so, Ferdinand could only choose to tell a story. In his impression, children are still very interested in stories, and their learning efficiency is probably higher! The historical stories in ancient and modern China and abroad are all cases for the little ones to learn.

The intrigues of political struggles, the brutality of power struggles, the importance of economic development, etc., are all indispensable, and the key points are the French Revolution and the British Constitutional Monarchy.

Under the strong request of his mother, Princess Clementine, Ferdinand analyzed the cause and effect in detail, and brought his own private goods, from the perspective of the greatest conspiracy theory, to cultivate the little ones' scheming skills!

No way, who told her Orleans dynasty to be overthrown? Therefore, she asked Ferdinand to be vigilant and not let her grandson follow in her father's footsteps!

Many times, Ferdinand worried about whether exposing children to these things from an early age would raise them in a wrong way. Facts have proved that he really thought too much. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Now is the transitional period between the era of colonialism and the era of imperialism. The law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest must be learned by almost all the children of the old aristocrats, let alone the children of the royal family?

It doesn't matter if you cultivate conspirator or unscrupulous politician, if you really develop a foolish white sweet, then you are really finished, and it is estimated that he will be the next one to go to the guillotine!

In this regard, Manuel II, who is about to succeed to the throne, is a negative example. Historically, he was fooled into playing free politics, delegating power to political parties to form a cabinet, and then infighting one after another, making Portugal a mess.

Of course, he still has to bear the blame in the end. Because every time something goes wrong, the cabinet can step down, but the king has no way to escape!

In the end, the cabinet was constantly changing, and the Portuguese people's ability to bear it reached the limit. Seeing that the momentum was not right, the Republicans pushed the king out of the top tank, ending the imperial era. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

There is no doubt that the situation in the Portuguese Republic will only become more chaotic in the future. It is you who sing and I will come on stage! It lasted until the 1980s before the situation in Portugal stabilized!

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

An existence who thinks his brain is misleading and lacks ability, Ferdinand doesn't think he can control so many messy political parties!

Unless, now that he is stimulated, he can explode once, thinking that his father and brother will take revenge and take the opportunity to kill his future political opponents. Anyway, these political party bosses are also inseparable from this assassination!

Oh, Ferdinand has done this kind of thing before, but his methods are more clever, and he successfully passed the blame to the cabinet, so he is still the perfect king in the hearts of the people!

Of course, in fact, even if all these things are exposed now, Ferdinand doesn't care anymore, anyway, his rule can't be shaken.

Even if Stam's cabinet returns to China now, it is useless to push everything to him. Those who succeed will not be blamed!

Oh, the point is that Ferdinand controlled the public opinion. Everyone should be responsible for what they say, guarantee its authenticity, and produce evidence, otherwise they will be imprisoned!

Now Nicholas II of Russia, Wilhelm II of Germany, and Joseph I of Austria-Hungary are all imitating some of Ferdinand’s policies to consolidate their rule. The resistance of the forces is not very effective!

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