"William, did you find out? This young king has surpassed his father, Henry VIII, and put more pressure on many nobles! ”

Whispering, Thomas raised his head and looked at the surprised Marquis William, who was not in a hurry, but as if he had given Marquis William a fixed point, his body was motionless, like a sculpture.

"And why did you ask me to help you when you met me?"

Thomas glanced at the sculpture-like Marquis William, and continued: "It's not that I'm afraid of the power in his hands, after all, the example of the Earl of Warwick is in the past, you don't have the same military exploits as him, and you don't have confidence in your heart!" ”

"So?" Marquis William finally reacted, narrowed his eyes, and asked expressionlessly.

"So, according to my guess, the nobles sensed the danger, but they were not sure to fight, so they turned to the godfather."

Thomas thought as he spoke out the conjecture in his mind, and as he spoke, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the corners of his mouth began to curl slightly, and it was clear that he had fully understood the purpose of his trip.

"You mean, the Godfather and the nobles, want you to be a favorite of the king like Cromwell, and thus influence His Majesty the king in London!"

Marquis William's eyes widened and his mouth wide open, he could not have imagined this result.

"Don't the godfathers know? That Cromwell, what kind of ending was the end? ”

Thomas. Cromwell, he was not the Lord Protector who later guillotined Charles I, but a favorite of Henry VIII, the main cadre who promoted the divorce of the king and promoted the Reformation.

He served as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Keeper of the Seals, Chief Secretary of State, and was named Earl of Isaacs, the first minister of Henry VIII.

He accompanied Henry VIII, who was known for his capriciousness in English history, surrounded by aristocratic ministers who were eyeing him.

Cromwell, who had been trampled under his feet but stubbornly survived and rose step by step, in order to survive, it was almost his instinct to save himself and seek refuge in others.

He followed Cardinal Thomas Wolsey in his early years. witnessed the desolate death of Wolsey, who had been in power; Also seen Walsey's successor, Thomas More, guillotined; Because of the rampant sweat fever, his wife, two young daughters, sister and brother-in-law died violently one after another.

Cromwell, for the sake of survival or power, finally chose to be loyal to Wolsey's enemy, the Duke of Norfolk and his niece Anne Boleyn.

On the recommendation of Ann Boleyn, Cromwell helped Henry VIII free himself from the intervention of the Holy See, unjustly divorced his wife, Catherine of Aragon, and put Ann Boleyn on the throne.

It can be said that Cromwell succeeded because of the Duke of Norfolk and died because of the Duke of Norfolk.

From beginning to end, he was the spokesman of the aristocracy, because of him, the dying nobleman who had been shot of resurrection blood, devoured the church's land, and the ancient nobles preserved a trace of vitality and began to slowly recover.

And when he began to disobey 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 this way, Marquis William was taken aback this time.

He didn't expect that the chess piece used by the nobles turned out to be the godfather's favorite godson - Thomas. Marne.

The ministers, the ministers, are just a pawn pushed out by the nobles, and in the end it will inevitably end up despondently and miserable.

In fact, the introduction of one powerful minister after another was just a helpless practice of the nobles during the Tudor period.

In desperation, in order to protect their families and interests, the nobles actively engaged in the direction of serving His Majesty the King on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also secretly launched or supported some poor children to join the whirlpool of power, affecting the monarchs of Tudor from the side.

Historically, by the time of Queen Elizabeth, the queen had learned the lessons of previous kings, dispersed power, and no longer fully trusted one person.

And the aristocrats introduced another method - lovers.

Thus, the famous Earl of Leicester - Robert. Dudley appears to influence the unmarried Queen.

"William, don't worry about me, of course I know what the consequences are?"

Thomas shook his head gently at Marquis William, as if you don't have to worry.

"I've been with my godfather for more than 30 years, and I have long wanted to show my skills, but I was suppressed by my godfather, and this feeling is very uncomfortable."

"Being able to meet this legendary magical king is also one of my wishes, and as for being used, it is not a big deal for me!"

"In life, you are either used by others or by others, and you can't escape these two things, don't worry! I know what to expect! ”

Seeing that the parties concerned had indifferent expressions, Marquis William naturally would not be bored with himself, and no matter how much he said.

"Anyway, you have to be careful!" Marquis William added one last sentence and said no more.

He is thinking about how to use Thomas, who is about to be pushed to the forefront, so as to maximize his own interests.

Between the two, they suddenly quieted down, and they were silent to each other.

At this time, in London, the Duke of Norfolk's palace, the old Duke of Norfolk still began to paint as always, accompanied by the silver-haired butler.

For the Duke of Norfolk, this has developed a habit, and if he does not paint for a day, he will feel uncomfortable.

"Your Excellency, according to the plan, Thomas. Marne is already on the move! ”

The silver-haired butler leaned slightly and whispered into the duke's ear.

"Oh! Got it! The Duke of Norfolk did not pause in the slightest in his handwriting, still painting and calligraphy on his own, and from time to time he sighed and sighed.

"As long as this Thomas does what he planned, I think the final result will definitely satisfy us!"

The silver-haired butler hesitated for a moment, and then said, "This Thomas seems to be very smart, and it's hard to control!" ”

"Huh? Bad to control? The Duke of Norfolk paused his pen, glanced at his butler, and walked slowly, step by step, with a hint of mockery on his lips.

"Do you think I don't know about this Thomas cleverness?"

Looking at the portraits he had painted on the walls, the Duke of Norfolk burst into a smile and said.

"This is just his own cleverness, and when he gets to the king, he will know that without our support, he will not be able to move an inch!"

"The so-called smart people, England wants as many as there are, but the rights are only shared by so many people!"
