"But one thing to say is that Thomas Cromwell is really capable, because people in this era attach great importance to family background, to the point of being obsessed with it. Even an ordinary court musician dares to directly
The reason for mocking Cromwell, who has become the king's right-hand man, is because Cromwell's father is a low-level blacksmith; of course, I think the reason why Henry VIII promoted Cromwell is very important.
Perhaps they were interested in Cromwell's background, so there was no need to worry about Cromwell forming gangs after gaining power, because no one with some status would willingly work under Cromwell.
"
Cai Ji touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "So should we arrange another noble status for ourselves in China? When we return to Franconia, Henry IV will definitely not be able to give it to him in the first place.
We are granted noble titles, so if we attend various banquets as civilians, we will definitely be looked down upon by some people who look down upon others."
"Agree, but should we arrange for ourselves the noble status of this dynasty or the previous dynasty?" Ye Yuanfeng said, holding a toothpick that he had sharpened in his spare time: "Although in this era, the difference between Europa Continent and Eastern Continent is
Communication basically relies on various business groups, and these business groups are mainly from the Europa continent. After all, businessmen from China can make money just lying down, but they need to live in the open and risk their lives.
Taking the Silk Road? So the possibility of us meeting fellow villagers here is not high."
Cai Ji thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then the noble title of the previous dynasty will be safer. If there is no accident on the Eastern Continent, it should be the Northern Song Dynasty, so counting from the front is the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, then
We don’t have too many nobles, so we won’t have any problem calling ourselves princes.”
"Then let's go to the Later Zhou Dynasty. I remember that the Later Zhou Dynasty was the last dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. As for our identity, we are the descendants of the nobles of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Because our ancestors were unwilling to surrender to Zhao Kuangyin, they met to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and then we had to meet famous teachers to teach us.
Some skills, so the teacher arranged to go down to Europa to help Henry IV?" Ye Yuanfeng said with raised eyebrows.
"The next week? It should be possible."
Cai Ji thought for a while and continued: "Then let's add some details now to avoid..."
Before Cai Ji finished speaking, he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves in the street outside. Cai Ji and Ye Yuanfeng were so frightened that they picked up weapons at the same time - Ye Yuanfeng naturally took his weapon that he never left.
Cai Ji picked up the Miao Dao on his body, and picked up his belt, ready to transform at any time.
However, Ye Yuanfeng and the two soon discovered that the sound of horse hooves was just passing by.
At this moment, David walked into the room and said: "The people who just passed by were the Pope's personal guards. It seems that the news of the Pope's death has indeed been hidden, so in order to avoid some mad dogs coming to trouble us, we have to do it now
let's go."
Ye Yuanfeng and Cai Ji nodded, and then began to pack their luggage, which was a few pieces of clothes they had just bought.
After Cai Ji and Cai Ji put on their cloaks, Henry IV walked in with two crossbows, "The situation is not good. The undercover I arranged with the Pope just sent me a message. Now there is a
A red archbishop named Lord took control of Canossa Castle and put all the other red archbishops in the castle under house arrest. However, Cromwell noticed something strange before Lord took action, so he escaped early.
, In addition, there is a bishop named Joan whose whereabouts are unknown, and now Lord has sent people to find them."
At this point, Henry IV said with some embarrassment: "Well, how should I put it, this bishop named Joan is a good friend of an uncle of mine. Without this uncle, it would be impossible for me to become the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
, so I am going to rescue this bishop named Joan; if you are willing to go with me, I will naturally be very grateful, but I personally think it is better for you not to go with me, because even if I am caught by Lord
He doesn’t dare to do anything to me, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, but he will definitely vent his anger on you.”
As Henry IV spoke, he placed both crossbows on the table, "As a brother, I will never make it difficult for you, so I have found someone to arrange a carriage for you, and you can continue now.
Head to Franconia. Someone will meet you there. As for these two crossbows, my father gave them to me when I was a child. They are perfect for self-defense, so this is my first gift to you.
Bar."
After finishing speaking, Henry IV turned around and left. After Cai Ji and Ye Yuanfeng looked at each other, they picked up the hand crossbows on the table and followed Henry IV in a few trots.
"Brother, are you looking down on us two younger brothers? Didn't we brothers say yesterday that we should share blessings and share hardships?"
Ye Yuanfeng raised the Miao Dao in his hand and said, "Let me tell you, it's time for my Miao Dao to see blood."
Cai Ji didn't say much, just smiled and nodded.
Henry IV looked at Cai Ji and Ye Yuanfeng, sighed and said: "Then let's set off. If we are accidentally caught by Lord, I will not be the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
I will also protect you two good brothers."
After walking out of the room, Henry IV took Cai Ji and the two of them into his carriage. Then David and others, who had changed their clothes, rode their horses and escorted the carriage out of the city towards Canossa.
Go in the direction of the castle.
On the way, Henry IV took out a map and said: "As the Pope's palace, Canossa Castle is actually more appropriately called a manor, because the castle is full of fountains and ponds; so when Canossa Castle was built,
The craftsmen also specially dug a river to divert water, so I think Cromwell and Joan probably left the castle through this river. After all, other channels leaving the castle should have been controlled by Lord's lackeys.
.”
Cai Ji looked at the river that passed through the castle and said with some confusion: "Then should we go upstream or downstream to find them? Although it is said to be upstream and downstream, the water flowing through the castle will definitely not be too fast, so Karen
Will and the others may choose to swim upstream."
PS: I’ll resume double updates tomorrow, because my body is already pineapple-like.
