"William, did you find out? This young king has surpassed his father—Henry VIII, and put more pressure on many nobles!"
Whispering in a low voice, Thomas raised his head and looked at Marquis William with a surprised face. The speed was neither too fast nor too slow, but it seed that he had given the Marquis William a acupuncture point. His body remained motionless, like a sculpture.
"And, why did you ask to help you after you t ?"
Thomas glanced at the sculpture-like Marquis William, and continued: "It's not because he is afraid of the power in his hands. After all, the Earl of Warwick is an example. You don't have the military exploits like him, and you don't have the confidence in your heart!"
"So?" Marquis William finally ca to his senses, narrowed his eyes, and asked expressionlessly.
"So, according to my guess, the group of nobles sensed the danger, but they were not sure about resisting, so they asked the godfather."
As Thomas thought about it, he uttered the conjectures in his mind. As more words ca out of his mouth, his eyes beca brighter and the corners of his mouth began to curl up slightly. Obviously, he had fully understood himself. The purpose of this trip.
"You an, the godfather and those nobles hope that you will beco a favorite of the king like Cromwell, so as to influence His Majesty the King in London!"
Marquis William's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. He could never have imagined this result.
"Don't the godfather know? That Cromwell, what is the ending?"
Thomas Cromwell, he was not the Lord Protector who later sent Charles I to the guillotine, but Henry VIII's favorite, the most important person who promoted the king's divorce and the religious reform.
He successively served as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Keeper of the Seal, and the Chief Minister of State, and was nad the Earl of Isaacs. He was the first minister of power during the Henry VIII period.
He was accompanied by Henry VIII, who was known for his capriciousness in British history, surrounded by noble ministers who were eyeing him.
Cromwell, who was trampled under his feet but survived tenaciously, and rose step by step, in order to survive, to keep himself safe and seek refuge with others is almost his instinct.
He followed Cardinal Thomas Wolsey in his early years. Witnessed the bleak death of Wolsey, who had been in power; he also saw Wolsey's successor, Thomas More, go to the guillotine; violent death.
For survival or rights, Cromwell finally chose to be loyal to Wolsey's enemy, the Duke of Norfolk and his niece Anne Boleyn.
With the recomndation of Ann Boleyn, Cromwell helped Henry VIII get rid of the intervention of the Holy See, unjustly divorced his wife Catherine of Aragon, and sent Ann Boleyn to the throne of queen.
It can be said that Cromwell succeeded because of the Duke of Norfolk, and finally died because of the Duke of Norfolk.
From the beginning to the end, he was the spokesperson introduced by the nobles. Because of him, the dying nobles received an injection of resurrection blood and devoured the church’s property. The ancient nobles preserved a little vitality and began to recover slowly.
And when he violated the will of the nobles, he lost his use value and was sent to the gallows.
So, after learning that Thomas was being used in such a way, Marquis William was taken aback this ti.
He did not expect that the chess piece used by the nobles turned out to be the godfather's most beloved godson—Thomas Marne.
Power ministers, power ministers, are just a **** pushed out by the nobles, and in the end it is inevitable to end in despair and misery.
In fact, the introduction of power ministers one by one was just a desperation practice of the nobles during the Tudor Dynasty.
The king's power expanded rapidly, and the nobles shrank day by day. In desperation, in order to protect their families and interests, the nobles actively devoted themselves to serving His Majesty the king on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also secretly launched or supported so The children of poor families joined the vortex of power and influenced the Tudor monarchs from the side.
Historically, in the era of Queen Elizabeth, the queen learned the lessons of the previous kings, dispersed power, and no longer fully trusted one person.
And the nobles introduced another thod-lover.
Thus, the famous Earl of Leicester—Robert Dudley appeared on the stage, thus influencing the unmarried Her Majesty the Queen.
"William, don't worry about , of course I know what the consequences will be?"
Thomas shook his head slightly at Marquis William, as if you don't have to worry.
"I have been with the godfather for more than 30 years. I have long wanted to show my talents, but I was suppressed by the godfather. This feeling is very uncomfortable."
"It is also one of my wishes to et this legendary magical king. As for being used, it is no big deal to !"
"In life, you are either being used or taking advantage of others. You can't escape the two. Don't worry! I know it well!"
Seeing the indifferent expressions on the faces of the parties involved, Marquis William will naturally not be bored and talk more.
"Anyway, you just have to be careful!" Marquis William added one last sentence, and stopped talking.
He is thinking about how to use Thomas, who is about to co to the fore, to maximize his own interests.
There was a sudden silence between the two of them, and there was no words for each other.
At this ti, London, the Duke of Norfolk's mansion, the old Duke of Norfolk started painting as always, accompanied by a silver-haired butler.
For the Duke of Norfolk, this has beco a habit. If he doesn't paint for a day, he will feel uncomfortable all over his body.
"Your Excellency, according to the plan, Thomas Mann has already started to act!"
The silver-haired butler leaned slightly and whispered into the Duke's ear.
"Oh! Got it!" The Duke of Norfolk didn't pause at all in his handwriting, he was still painting and calligraphy on his own, and he would click his lips from ti to ti, sighing endlessly.
"As long as this Thomas acts according to the plan, I think the final result will definitely satisfy us!"
The silver-haired butler hesitated for a mont, and then said: "This Thomas, looks very smart, it's hard to control!"
"Huh? It's hard to control?" The Duke of Norfolk stopped writing, glanced at his butler, and then walked slowly step by step, with a hint of sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"Do you think I don't know about Thomas' cleverness?"
Looking at the portraits painted by himself on the wall, the Duke of Norfolk smiled and said.
"It's just that he is being smart. When he gets to the king's side, he will know that without our support, he can't move a single step!"
"England has as many so-called smart people as they want, but there are only so many people who share their rights!"
