Chapter 629 Marriage Considerations

In the Vienna Palace hunting ground, Franz's marksmanship is as stable as ever.

Maybe he loves life too much and can't bear to kill, so every time he shoots, the unlucky ones are the surrounding flowers and plants.

"Franz, how many times have I told you that guns don't work that way, so you can't aim!"

A familiar voice sounded, breaking the harmonious atmosphere. There is no doubt that the person who came is the Archduke Karl, and no one else has dared to be so presumptuous.

Franz said plausibly: "Hunting is for games, so why take it so seriously?

Recently, the prey has been reduced a lot, and if the scourge continues like this, it will be extinct soon. "

You can't lose face. After so many years of political edification, Franz has long cultivated the ability to keep his face intact.

No, in the shortest possible time, he found a suitable excuse. The hunting ground of the palace is not large, and there are not many wild animals on it.

Archduke Carl also loves hunting, and many smart wild animals have run away. The ones left behind are relatively stupid, and now the harvest of hunting has become smaller and smaller.

Of course, running is not necessarily a good choice. There is no wildlife protection law these days, and it may be faster to run out and die.

Archduke Carl nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder my harvest is getting smaller and smaller. It turns out that the prey has decreased. It seems that we really need to pay attention."

After a pause, he became enlightened: "No, Franz don't change the subject for me, you've already played it all.

Just because of your poor marksmanship, if you go to the battlefield, don't you know how many comrades you will accidentally injure, don't you feel ashamed? "

Franz retorted: "Don't worry, father. This kind of assumption can't happen at all. If I really need to go to the battlefield, do you think the marksmanship is good or bad, does it matter?"

Seemingly annoyed, Archduke Karl glared at Franz and scolded angrily: "You can have as many crooks as you like. Anyway, don't say that your marksmanship was handed over by me, I can't afford to lose that person."

Franz responded very cooperatively: "No problem, if you didn't say it just now, they don't know now."

Archduke Karl's face changed greatly, as if he had lost face. Looking at the expressions of everyone who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, he snorted coldly: "Humph!"

This bickering pattern has happened many times. Especially as he got older, the Archduke Karl liked to find fault with his sons, and Franz was no longer surprised.

When it comes to marksmanship, Archduke Karl is still proud of himself. Even compared to the sharpshooter in the army, he is not much worse.

Using a special sniper rifle, Archduke Karl can make an effective hit at a distance of 500 meters, and is well-deserved as the number one marksman in the royal family.

This is also the most depressing place for Archduke Karl. His marksmanship has no heir.

The younger generations of the Habsburg family all have a game mentality about learning marksmanship, and most of them are a bit better than Franz.

In Franz's view, this is the normal situation. There are so many sharpshooters, and ordinary people are the mainstream.

The Habsburg family has always been good at politics and diplomacy, and a sharpshooter is an exception. How can it be wholesale?

In fact, the previous generation of the Habsburgs should be regarded as the hardest generation.

Uncle Ferdinand suffered from a congenital disease, and his father, Archduke Carl, had no political talent.

In Franz's generation, the situation improved slightly. Even if there is an idealist like Massimiliano, everyone's IQ is still normal.

The next generation is still young, and the level of ability cannot be fully determined, but Franz thinks it should be progressive, at least without congenital diseases.

Thinking about it is right, with such a small probability, how can it be so easy to encounter it every time. Unless it is a family genetic disease, there is no way, no matter who you marry, the probability of the disease is high.

Parents are not easy to be, Franz has experienced it firsthand. Franz was also worried about the marriage of his sons.

In particular, the marriage of the eldest son, Frederick, was a big trouble. Political marriage is necessary, which is the responsibility and obligation of the crown prince.

Franz will have a headache with whom to marry. Not only political influence, but also the upbringing of the marriage partner must be considered. The queen is not so easy to be, even the preparatory queen needs a certain personal ability.

Otherwise, it is not a help, but a burden that drags the legs. It is often said on the Internet in later generations that marrying the wrong woman destroys three generations. Now the crown prince has married the wrong wife, not only destroying three generations, but also destroying a country.

Franz didn't expect much help, just asked for no trouble.

It is very difficult to meet this requirement. Now Franz finally understands why the European royal family likes to marry later, because they are forced out.

Every political marriage is a test for the royal family. Once the wrong choice is made, the disaster will be irreversible.

Love god horse, put it aside first! According to past experience, the marriages of most royal family members have nothing to do with love.

A good match will block most of the love. Lower the standard, the second son can still play like this, as long as he doesn't inherit the throne, that's fine.

The crown prince has nothing to do. Not only is the royal family opposed, but all sectors of society will oppose it. The most troublesome thing is that the people cannot accept it.

Who knows how much sadness is behind the romantic love story of the royal family that has been passed down in later generations, and who knows how much trouble it will cause politically?

no one knows, for

In order to make a beautiful love story, how many people shed blood and sacrificed behind it.

This is a responsibility and obligation. To enjoy the benefits of being a royal family, you must pay for it, and marriage is only part of it.

...

In the Vienna Palace, a stack of photos appeared in Franz's hands. All of them were photos of princesses from various countries, and there were information notes on the back, which were carefully selected by Queen Helen.

Well, there really isn't much to choose from. She just excluded those who were not in good health and age, and the rest were here.

The youngest is only five years old, and the oldest is no more than twenty years old. Franz was speechless and could only sigh: This is looking for a daughter-in-law in a kindergarten, the younger is a student, and the older is a teacher.

Of course, this is not only to find a wife for Frederick, the daughter-in-law of several other sons may also be among them. Lowering the bar is only possible if there are no suitable candidates.

Lowering the bar is easy to say, but very difficult to do. At least Queen Helen firmly opposed it, she believed that this would bring great trouble to her son's life in the second half of his life.
