When they heard the name Cromwell, Ye Yuanfeng and Cai Ji both cheered up instantly and looked at Henry IV seriously, because they felt that their "DNA" suddenly moved.
Cromwell?
Englishman!
Fast forward to cutting off the head of King Charles I!
Wait, isn't there a gap of several hundred years between Charles I and Henry IV?
Thinking of this, Ye Yuanfeng and Cai Ji felt that Cromwell was just a person with the same name.
However, Henry IV saw that both Ye Yuanfeng and Ye Yuanfeng showed a very interested look, so he also got excited and said: "This Cromwell was born in an ordinary blacksmith family, and he was beaten by his own family when he was very young.
My father sent him to England, no, he should be Thomas More, the most talented man in Europe at present, as a servant, because this Cromwell is also called Thomas; but although Cromwell is only a servant in name
, but in fact he is a book boy."
"So little Cromwell seized his opportunity and learned various knowledge from More. Although he was not as talented as More, he could make up for his shortcomings through hard work, and Cromwell still became a learned priest.
However, because Cromwell's background was so poor, he could only hang out in a small church; but Cromwell's luck had always been good, and he was ready to be a salty fish in a small church for the rest of his life.
At that time, William the Conqueror suddenly landed in England and occupied the entire England with lightning speed."
"What should I say about William the Conqueror? If his ancestors were not Vikings, I would definitely regard him as my idol, but even so, I still think he is a very admirable person; however, the Holy See
But I don’t think so. You have to know that when the Holy See decided to recognize the ancestor of William the Conqueror as the Duke of Normandy, there was a huge quarrel. In the end, if the King of France had not really been unable to withstand it, otherwise this resolution would not have been passed.
After all, in the eyes of the Holy See, the Vikings are just a group of uncivilized barbarians."
"So, it is not easy to get the Holy See to recognize William the Conqueror as the King of England. After all, England is one of the most important countries on the continent of Europe. As a result, a descendant of the Vikings is now the king. This makes the Holy See lose face.
, and the bishops in England were unwilling to run errands for William the Conqueror, so the matter suddenly reached a deadlock; but at this time, More stepped forward and recommended Cromwell, because More knew that he
My old friend has this ability."
"As a result, Cromwell was temporarily promoted to bishop and went to negotiate with the dead Pope for a month. Finally, he succeeded in getting the Holy See to agree to recognize William the Conqueror as King of England, thus overcoming the
Cromwell firmly established his position as bishop and became a close friend of William the Conqueror, helping William the Conqueror solve many troubles. However, Cromwell also knew that William the Conqueror was quite suspicious, so he quickly
With the help of More, he came to the Holy See to become a cardinal, and his reputation in the Holy See is also very good now."
Hearing this, Ye Yuanfeng and Cai Ji looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and both could see the confusion in each other's eyes.
But Henry IV did not understand their eyes, "Well, on the surface, Cromwell is unlikely to become the new pope, because he has a relatively low background, and he has helped people who are not favored by the Holy See.
William the Conqueror worked, so no matter how good his reputation was, it seemed unlikely that he would succeed in becoming a leader; but the Pope who died yesterday, Gregory VII, also had a very humble background, but because he had entered the church since he was a child,
So not many people dare to talk about his identity openly."
"Therefore, the relationship between Gregory VII and Cromwell is very good. If it weren't for him, Cromwell would be unlikely to come to the Holy See to become a cardinal archbishop. Therefore, those die-hard followers of Gregory VII will definitely become
The leader supported Cromwell because Gregory VII and other cardinal archbishops did not deal with it very much; in addition, after coming to the Holy See, Cromwell also secretly claimed that he was not William the Conqueror.
He was only a lackey who had to help William the Conqueror for the sake of the stability of England, so he is planning to persuade other kingdoms to jointly take back England."
…
"Hiss~ Mu Yao, your plot arrangement is a bit awesome. You actually arranged for Thomas Cromwell to appear in advance at this time?" Yin En said with some surprise: "If I remember correctly, Thomas Cromwell is
The ancestor of the future Lord Protector Cromwell, right? And this Thomas Cromwell was finally beheaded by Henry VIII because he was framed. As a result, the situation changed, and Henry VIII's descendant Charles I
Cromwell's descendants responded in kind."
"Then thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, Lord Protector Cromwell could not escape the same fate in the end, even if he was dragged into the coffin, he would be dragged out and turned into a headless horseman..." Zhang Jingxu couldn't help but
Complain.
Mu Yao nodded and said with a smile: "Didn't I say before that after the sudden death of William the Conqueror, in addition to several of his sons who would fight against each other, the original old royal family and some people with their own agendas would also
I started to compete for England, including Thomas Cromwell, and I also arranged for Lord Protector Cromwell to be his son. By then Thomas Cromwell will become the new representative of England.
.”
"Huh? Since Cromwell will return to England to join the war, does that mean he will not become the Pope?" Liu Xing asked curiously.
"Yes, I have appointed a very conscious person to be the new pope." Mu Yao showed a mysterious smile, "Have you heard of Pope Joan?"
"Joan? Is there such a person? After taking office, the pope of the Christian Church will change his name to the name of those saints, and then add the number of lives after that, so I remember that there is no one named among the saints.
Joan, then how could there be Pope Joan?" Yin En said with a frown.
Liu Xing and Zhang Jingxu also nodded, saying that they had never heard of "Pope Joan".
Regarding this situation, Mu Yao said with a very satisfied smile: "That's right if you don't know. To put it simply, 'Joan' is another translation of John. But because this Pope John is a woman, everyone
They all use the slightly more feminine translation of Qiong An to call her."
