[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

"I see." When Richard Cromwell conveyed the words of the Prince of Wales to his adoptive father very uneasy, the latter did not show fear or unexpected expressions, but remained calm as always: "I People will be sent to collect evidence of collusion between the conservative aristocrats and the church."

Thinking of the proposal of the Prince of Wales, a weird thought circled in Thomas Cromwell's mind, causing him to show an inscrutable smile: "Perhaps those poor victims can be clothed in holy skins." The devil catches the current one."

"Your Highness doesn't want the people's resentment to be concentrated on the king." Richard Cromwell was a little envious of his young master's intelligence, and even felt that his existence was only for spreading the word: "Besides, he hopes that you will find an opportunity Detain the Countess of Salisbury and her family, for they are a useful weapon against the King."

Speaking of this, Richard Cromwell lowered his voice in his adoptive father's ear: "Her three sons are the grandsons of George Plantagenet (Edward IV's younger brother), and they have more ancient and pure blood than His Majesty the King." Plantagenet blood, and her youngest son, Reginald Bohr, is a fanatical Catholic and intends to become a cardinal. So the Prince of Wales is very worried that Reginald Bohr will be used by the Roman Church, thereby a threat to His Majesty's reign."

"It is indeed a matter of concern." Thomas Cromwell did not dare to underestimate the energy of any plantagenet, because during the reign of Henry VII, the rebellion about plantagenet was not one hand The number even shook Tudor's foundation to some extent: "I will discuss this matter with Your Majesty, and then find a plausible reason for arrest."

Thomas Cromwell was busy these days dealing with the nobles flocking to the king's bedroom, and also preventing Anne Boleyn, who was suffering from postpartum depression, from suddenly rushing in front of Henry VIII and destroying the expensive porcelain in Whitehall Palace again. batch.

"Does the Prince of Wales have any special appearance in terms of belief?" Thomas Cromwell, who was a businessman, felt that Anne Boleyn, a former potential stock, was only a matter of time before the limit fell, so he had to find another one. A hidden backer who supported his reformation.

The king's trust is too fragile.

The businessman's experience made Thomas Cromwell know that everything needs double insurance, so Bishop Wolsey gave his loyal servant a kind reminder before he died.

"The Prince of Wales has never expressed his religious intentions to anyone." Even Richard Cromwell, who was closest to William Tudor, could not really see through the prince: "But he is very disgusted with Rome. The greed of the Church, and the meddling of England's internal affairs."

"That's enough." Thomas Cromwell only cared about whether the interests of William Tudor were tied to himself and even the Reformation, so after getting Richard Cromwell's affirmation, he started In an instant, he confirmed his intention to follow the Prince of Wales, and decided to hand over the nomination certificate to the Prince of Wales.

At the time when Thomas Cromwell showed his favor to William Tudor, the Norfolk family was worrying about the status of Anne Boleyn-because the king had not had sex with Anne Boleyn for a month, so the palace The news that the queen had fallen out of favor was circulating inside and outside the palace, which made Anne Boleyn feel furious.

"How dare they criticize me, how dare they criticize their queen?" At this time, Anne Boleyn had already felt the feeling of being alone in the vacant room, but she was not like Queen Catherine, who was willing to suffer in silence, but treated her like a wolf. He looked at the maids in the palace with his eyes, guessing whose skirts were hiding secrets.

Except for Margaret Miston and Mary Howard, whom the Duke of Norfolk offered to send over, there are still many beautiful women in the palace who fit the king's appetite.

Because of Anne Boleyn, they all wore French-style dresses and hoods, showing large snow-white breasts in front of the king, and even used waistbands to create a sense of fullness, which made the Spanish ambassador feel extremely I was stunned, because during the time of Queen Catherine, there had never been such an inappropriate dress in the palace, especially the light eyes of the nobles who called themselves gentlemen wandering on the maids, and the pairs of greasy palms that slid across the skin made Spain The Ambassador had an instant urge to gag.

"The brothels of Spain are no dirtier than the king's court." In a letter to the emperor, the Spanish ambassador was extremely indignant: "The king was bewitched by the devil, married a prostitute, and then turned the palace into Satan's palace." Carnival banquet."

"The screams of witches echoed throughout Whitehall Palace."

"Every night the devil's shadow rolls over the walls of the Virgin Mary, and then leads the king into a deeper sin."

The Spanish ambassador pinched his nose and stood in a ventilated place, looking at the king and his wife above through the crowded heads.

Henry VIII still had that uninterested expression, as if he didn't have the slightest interest in the music, food, or even his queen. He just drank wine sullenly, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.

Anne Boleyn sat closest to Henry VIII, but anyone present could sense the distance between the king and his wife.

In just two years, the former "First Lady" became an abandoned wife of the palace, even faster than Catherine of Aragon, whom she once looked down upon.

Even though Anne Boleyn tried her best to put on a haughty and reserved appearance, using expensive jewelry and heavy lead powder to cover up her unnaturalness, the shivering maids standing around her still showed something unspeakable. reality.

The Spanish ambassador heard that the king let his new mistress climb into Anne Boleyn's bed, and even teased and even kissed the maids more than once in front of Anne Boleyn, which caused Anne Boleyn to reprimand him furiously. A group of maids were even whipped.

You must know that most of the queen's maids are from noble backgrounds. Even though most of them have lived a life that is almost the same as that of commoners, they are still nobles in terms of blood, and they still appear by the queen's side on behalf of their families.

Therefore, Anne Boleyn's corporal punishment of the maids was not as simple as their personal grievances, but also involved the face of the noble family.

How fun!

The majestic Queen of England beats people with her own hands like a tavern shrew.

The Spanish ambassador would have liked to see if the nobles regretted putting their blood relatives in the service of a poisonous woman.

And behind Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour lowered her eyes docilely and terrifiedly, holding on to the locket on her chest where Anne Boleyn could not see, worried that the scandal between herself and the king would be revealed by Anne. Discovered by Boleyn.
