[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

For any scientist hungry for truth, William III was undoubtedly their long-awaited patron—less words, more money, and no religious persecution.

In other words, those who dealt with William III did not feel his preference for religion.Although in name, he is the head of the Church of England, the defender of the faith, and the spokesperson of God in the world, but apart from routine prayers and religious ceremonies in public places, whether it is Richard Cromwell or Juana Even the queen could not see William III reading religious classics or praying silently.

While this made them feel puzzled, they had to do their best to cover up this anomaly for William III.

After all, the king's impiety is likely to cause civil strife, or become a legitimate reason for other countries to attack England.

However, from the perspective of the safety of others and the development of the country, this is not a completely bad thing.

"Painless surgery?" When William III asked about the progress of Servetus' research, he heard a rather modern term, so he asked with great interest, "How do you plan to complete the painless surgery?"

After all, before the nineteenth century, surgery was not so much a sacred act of saving lives as it was a public performance on a dirty stage to satisfy the curiosity-seeking psychology of some upper-class people.

What is even more unbelievable is that most surgeons before the [-]th century were barbers' side jobs, and the more blood stained on the white robe, the more it proves that the "surgeon" is skilled and trustworthy.

William III couldn't imagine any logical genius who could equate the amount of bleeding with the skill proficiency of the surgeon.

After all, people in the ancient Greek period could understand the truth that if you bleed too much, you will die. Unexpectedly, after more than 1000 years, people standing on the shoulders of giants can still come to such incredible conclusions.

It's unbelievable.

Servetus is one of the few reformers who is not limited by the stereotype that surgeons are born to help traditional doctors, or "surgeon = butcher".

To him, a surgeon could be even more noble if he could save more lives or bewildered spirits than the traditional doctor who read Galen or Aristotle in Italian schools.

"Tell me about how you plan to perform painless surgery on wounded soldiers." William III put down the documents in his hand and asked Richard Cromwell to bring Servetus a chair.

"Do I need some coffee for you?" William III looked at Servette's dark circles, guessing that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

Although with William III, Servetus, who was hunted down by the Holy See and Geneva, can conduct private research under the false identity of "Mr. Michel", but due to England's diplomatic considerations, it is impossible for William III to often summon Servetus .And the latter is also aware of his sensitivity to his identity, so in order to show his loyalty, he turned into a liver emperor... I only hope that William III can keep those precious works that condensed his countless painstaking efforts in the royal archives after his death.

"I'd rather have a glass of Calais wine than water from America." Servetus licked his lips and added, "Add some cinnamon and spices from the Ottoman Empire. After all, it's only here with you. I get a taste of luxury."

William III waved at Richard Cromwell and asked him to arrange Servetus' request.

"In fact, this glass of pot water from America is far more expensive than the spices from the Ottoman Empire." William III suddenly said while enjoying the drink in Servetus: "The cocoa in America is in the Aztecs, but More precious than gold."

Even William III could not guarantee that he would be able to realize the freedom of coffee in the sixteenth century.

"Never mind it, I'm not used to drinking it anyway." Servette wiped his mouth very vulgarly after drinking a glass of "fragrant" wine, and then explained the painless operation to William III Invention process.

"According to your request, I have extracted a new type of anesthetic based on the 'Yam Wine' of the Ottoman Empire and the 'Yautli' used by the Aztecs to paralyze sacrifices." Servetus also brought The sample for display came, and in the small glass container, the liquid with no clear color was emitting a strange light.

William III knew that the most commonly used anesthetic now was YA tablets, but because of the efficacy of the drug and the extraction process, it only had a slight analgesic effect, and it could be life-threatening if taken improperly.

After all, Margaret of Austria, the daughter of Maximilian I, the first female governor of the Netherlands and an adviser to Charles V, died the night before the amputation because of an overdose of YA tablets. .

Under the order of William III, Servetus has been looking for an anesthetic that can replace YA tablets, preferably an anesthetic that is not expensive and can be widely used in surgical operations.

At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure the concealment of the craftsmanship and materials, so as to prevent someone from profiting from it or using it to control others.

"Have you tested this drug on animals or real people?" William III did not unscrew the glass bottle of the new anesthetic. After all, he spared his life, so he never touched things he didn't understand.

Servetus was eager to tell William III that the new anesthetic had actually been used on the night of the consummation of the Duke of Richmond and Mary Stuart.However, considering that the king would not like the news, Servetus replied tactfully: "I used this drug on animals and patients who needed amputation. It turns out that they only felt it during the operation." Slight discomfort, as for recovery pain after surgery..."

Thinking of the "painless operation" he boasted about in Haikou, Servette couldn't help but blush: "I can't solve their pain in this area for the time being, and I can only use traditional YA tablets to relieve it."

"It doesn't matter, you are worthy of praise for making this step." William III did not expect Servetus to reach the sky in one step, so he praised his achievements at this stage without hesitation: "I will let the military doctor use the one you developed. Anesthetic, as for the follow-up pain relief..."

Before William III finished speaking, he was interrupted by a hasty knock on the door.

"Your Majesty, the Lord Keeper of the Seal seeks an audience." The guards outside did not dare to open the door of William III's office, so they knocked lightly on the door a few times before reporting, "He has something urgent to call on you."

"It's so late, is there anything the Lord Seal can't talk about tomorrow?" William III signaled Richard Cromwell to take Servette down first, and only after the latter returned, let Matthew Stuart comes in.

"Your Majesty, I am very sorry to disturb you so late." Matthew Stuart expressed his apology to William III with a slightly astringent chill all over his body, before sitting down and replying: "The story of the spies from France There is news that it was Princess Renee who came forward to quell the rebellion in Brittany and Bouwen, and persuaded the Louvre to negotiate peace with the Huguenots."

"It's a good thing!" William III didn't think Matthew Stuart would tell himself some nonsense about Catholic supremacy.

After all, if he hadn't cultivated his speaking eyesight, he wouldn't have sat in the position of Minister of the Seal.

Sure enough, after William III made an exclamation of unknown meaning, Matthew Stuart suddenly said: "The problem is that the Duke of Guise and Catherine de' Medici have irreconcilable disputes over the Edict of Amboise. Dispute, and in the subsequent bilateral meeting..."

Matthew Stuart thought of his religious stance, and his breathing was slightly stagnant: "The Duke of Guise, with the help of Marshal Andre, led troops to surround Paris, and took the representative of the Huguenots, Ty Pastor Odor beheaded on the spot."

"He is a decisive person." William III found that Matthew Stuart only mentioned a Huguenot priest who was beheaded, but did not mention the main supporters of the Huguenots in the upper class of France , so he asked casually: "Are the Prince of Condé and General Coligny okay? If they are taken over by the Duke of Guise, then the future of the Huguenots in France will be completely over."

"In fact, because of Princess Renee's insistence, neither Prince Condé nor General Coligny participated in the negotiations between the two parties." Matthew Stuart regretted the good luck of the Huguenots, but under William III's In front of him, he couldn't show this.

After all, the queen of England was a member of the Huguenots.

"Princess Renee expected that the Duke of Guise would not let it go, so she and Pastor Théodore went to negotiate with Catherine de Medici, while General Coligny and Prince Condé waited for news in Bouwen and other places. When Matthew Stuart said this, he smiled wryly and said, "The Duke of Guise was dazzled by anger, so he didn't dare to attack Princess Renee."

The daughter of Louis XII, the "monarch" truly recognized by Brittany,

As long as these two identities exist, the Duke of Guise, a "Frenchman" who is half of Lorraine blood, will not dare to attack Princess Renee, and he will not even be able to imprison her.

Because François I had already imprisoned Princess Renee, and Henry II's wishes made it impossible for Catherine de Medici to throw Princess Renee into the Bastille, so the Duke of Guise also encircled Paris. You can only kill a Protestant pastor, and then force Charles IX to declare war with the Huguenots.

And now is the starting point for France to be divided.

William III stared into the eyes of Matthew Stuart, guessing that the Louvre Museum should not have issued a declaration to expel the Huguenots, so Prince Condé and General Coligny had an excuse to march to Paris.

"Catherine de Medici is not an easy woman to deal with." William III asserted: "A Medici poisonous snake that can only hide in Rome for a few months... will not be threatened by the Duke of Guise." , and become the opponent's pawn..."

"And are you going to issue a manifesto in favor of the Huguenots or Charles IX?"

"No, I have to wait a little longer." William III refused: "Wait for the supporters of the Duke of Guise to raise the sails of the Armada."
