[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

Thomas Cromwell was a hidden Protestant.Although his current owner is the Cardinal Archbishop of England, this does not mean that he will abandon his faith. On the contrary, he lurks beside Bishop Wolsey, waiting for the opportunity to exert influence on Henry VIII to complete his most important mission. Mission - to expose the hypocrisy of the Church of Rome.

For this reason, Thomas Cromwell observed every move of Henry VIII year after year and day after day, and finally found a way to make the king hate the Roman Church and indirectly support his beliefs.

And Henry VIII, it was only after Thomas Cromwell's bold move that he began to face up to this humble son of a commoner and talked with him for a long time.

"I know that Your Majesty's anger is not only outraged by Ms. Anne's unfair treatment, but also out of concern for the future of England." Thomas Cromwell, who rarely got along with the king, felt his palms were wet with sweat, and tried to calm down Shinto: "Considering the stability of the country and the tragedy that happened to your elder brother, Arthur of Wales. I think you must not have only one son under your knees. And you don't want the king of Spain to use the hand of the Pope to treat me Interfering more in the internal affairs of the DPRK.”

After Thomas Cromwell finished speaking in one breath, he also took a special look at Henry VIII's face, and found that the other party did not express any displeasure, but instead said thoughtfully: "Your name."

"Thomas Cromwell." The secretary of the bishop, who felt that he had come to an official career, said respectfully: "I am willing to serve you wholeheartedly like Bishop Wolsey."

"Really?" Henry VIII was not interested in Thomas Cromwell's allegiance, but he paid a little attention to this unusual person.

After all, Henry VIII, who had heard a lot of objections, is now very tolerant of his support.

………………… I am the dividing line…………………

Thomas Cromwell, who had returned to his command, sat in front of Bishop Wolsey's bed, and relayed Henry VIII's answer word for word, and then served Bishop Wolsey to drink honey water, watching him keep going. Panting on the bed.

"Really?" Bishop Wolsey was not surprised after listening to the report: "Your Majesty has never been one to give in, so I am not surprised that he would say this."

Speaking of this, Bishop Wolsey seemed to have thought of something, and smiled at Thomas Cromwell with a half-smile: "Do you know? The last woman who made His Majesty the King so impulsive was Queen Catherine."

"Her Royal Highness?" Thomas Cromwell didn't know why Bishop Wolsey mentioned the secret history of the palace, but he still asked face-saving: "I heard that His Majesty the King loved Queen Catherine very much."

"It's more than just love, it's simply fascination." Bishop Wolsey smiled and said: "When Queen Catherine and Prince Arthur were engaged, His Majesty asked God why he didn't give him such a lovely wife. And after Prince Arthur and Henry VII were married After his death, His Majesty married Queen Catherine against all opinions, and even secretly married the regent Mrs. Margaret Beaufort behind her back."

"Presumably soon, everything Your Majesty did to Queen Catherine will be repeated on Anne Boleyn." Thomas Cromwell said sharply: "She will become His Majesty's second wife, and she will be the same as Queen Catherine. , to meet His Majesty's ruthlessness."

"That's right." Bishop Wolsey nodded, his voice became extremely cold: "It's just that Anne Boleyn's ending will never be better than Queen Catherine's."

"She doesn't have the noble blood and power of Queen Catherine, and she doesn't have a healthy son as a guarantee." Bishop Wolsey stared at the tall curtain, and his voice was ethereal like a prophecy: "Queen Catherine was once magnificent, and Anne Bo Lin's aging will come soon."

"At that time, even if you are a beautiful family member like a flower, it will only be a flash in the pan."

"Only the Prince of Wales is an eternal existence close to the king."

Thomas Cromwell stared carefully at Bishop Wolsey's pale face, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want me to do?"

"Protect Prince William and the fire of England." Bishop Wolsey said with great effort: "The stability of the Tudor dynasty needs a prince, so it's up to you to protect him."

"Prince William will not accept me." Thomas Cromwell knew that he would soon reveal his true faith, so he did not want to hide from Bishop Wolsey: "Queen Catherine and Princess Mary will not like me .”

"But they can't control Prince William's mind, just like we can't control the king's mind." Bishop Wolsey suddenly grabbed Thomas Cromwell's arm, and his strength was not at all like that of an old man: "In the future Promise me in the name of God that you will protect Prince William. If not, let your head be chopped off in the Tower of London."

"Yes. I promise you." Thomas Cromwell's heartstrings were swayed by the word "Tower of London", because only nobles and dignitaries were eligible to carry out executions in the Tower of London.

Bishop Wolsey was giving him a dying push, and Thomas Cromwell would not have missed the opportunity.

Satisfied with the answer, Bishop Wolsey released Thomas Cromwell's hand to close the quilt for himself, and soon fell into eternal sleep.

Thomas Cromwell found a note wrapped with a seal from Bishop Wolsey's quilt, crossed the old man on the bed, and prayed that he would find eternal peace in the arms of God.

………………… I am the dividing line……………

On the second day after Bishop Wolsey's death, Queen Catherine, who was far away in Richmond Palace, received the news and couldn't help praying for Bishop Wolsey: "He has always been a just and respectable person."

Although in the eyes of some nobles, Bishop Wolsey is the son of a low-class butcher, Queen Catherine has always been grateful to Bishop Wolsey for his efforts to save her marriage, so she asked the reporter: "Wolsey Did Bishop Xi leave any last words before his death?"

"Yes." The reporter said respectfully: "He donated all his property to His Majesty the King free of charge, and elected his secretary, Thomas Cromwell, as His Majesty's legal adviser."

"This is really a respectable man." Princess Mary was very moved: "His sincerity to the king will definitely be approved by God, so that he can get eternal peace."

William Tudor, who was practicing calligraphy at the side, thought ironically when he heard this.

[Bishop Wolsey did not donate all his property out of loyalty. 】

[He was afraid that Henry VIII would carry out a merciless liquidation after his death, so he showed his favor to Henry VIII before his death, so that the other party would not show him any favor in the history books, and would not let his illegitimate son go. horse. 】

[Even without these last words, the wealth that Bishop Wolsey has accumulated over the years and the extravagant Hampton Court Palace alone are enough to make Henry VIII turn his face and deny anyone. 】
