Madrid 1569. Felipe II y su Secretario de Estado, Antonio P\u00e9rez, manejan con mano f\u00e9rrea el mayor Imperio conocido. El modo de gobernar del soberano hace posible que la situaci\u00f3n real de la corona castellana sea desconocida. Un informe an\u00f3nimo que llega a manos del Rey pone en jaque esa situaci\u00f3n. Los esp\u00edas de Antonio P\u00e9rez se ponen en marcha para tratar de descubrir quien ha sido el autor del informe que ha puesto tan nerviosos al Secretario de Estado y al mism\u00edsimo monarca. Los personajes m\u00e1s notables del reino son puestos bajo vigilancia y despu\u00e9s de varias pesquisas parece ser que por fin se ha dado con el autor. Pero \u00bfqu\u00e9 hay en ese informe para que el mism\u00edsimo Rey se haya tomado tantas molestias? \u00bfY qu\u00e9 descabellada idea contiene? Nuestro protagonista, Lu\u00eds Carrillo, autor del informe, es la mano derecha de Juan de Escobedo en el Consejo de Hacienda. Un portento con los n\u00fameros, adem\u00e1s de tener ciertas ideas poco convencionales. No imagina que su vida no volver\u00e1 a ser la misma a partir de esa ma\u00f1ana en la que Gonzalo Lope, hombre de confianza de Antonio P\u00e9rez y antiguo soldado de los tercios espa\u00f1oles, va a buscarle al Consejo de Hacienda para llevarle ante el Secretario de Estado. La reuni\u00f3n tiene lugar en el gran sal\u00f3n de la Casa del Tesoro, en el Alc\u00e1zar Real, y la sorpresa es may\u00fascula cuando adem\u00e1s de Antonio P\u00e9rez tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 Su Majestad. Lu\u00eds Carrillo tiene as\u00ed oportunidad de explicarse ante los dos hombres m\u00e1s poderosos del Reino. A partir de aqu\u00ed su informe se convierte en un plan maquinado por el Rey y Antonio P\u00e9rez y en el que Luis Carrillo pasa a ser, y en contra de su voluntad, pieza fundamental. Su misi\u00f3n ser\u00e1 cruzar media Europa por el camino espa\u00f1ol para llevar a Guillermo de Orange una propuesta y tratar as\u00ed de poner fin al conflicto en Flandes. G\u00e9nova, el Milanesado, el Franco Condado y finalmente Dillemburg son alguno de los lugares que Luis Carrillo visita en su periplo. All\u00ed es donde tiene lugar la secreta reuni\u00f3n con el de Orange y que puede cambiar el mapa pol\u00edtico de Europa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
