Chapter 24 third act

First London.congress hall Trumpets play coloratura.Enter KING HENRY, Exeter, Gloucester, Warwick, Somerset, Suffolk, Winchester, Richard Plantagenet, and others.Gloucester was about to read out a proposal, but Winchester snatched it up and tore it up. Winchester, Humphrey Gloucester, did you bring the article here beforehand, typed up?If you dare to accuse me and accuse me of any crimes, you are not allowed to write a manuscript in advance, but to speak out casually.No matter what you say about me, I can answer you casually. Gloucester mad monk!I have to be patient here, or you'll find out what happens when you insult me ​​like this.Don't think that I listed your heinous crimes in writing because I fabricated them, and don't think that I can't recite what I wrote in my pen.Bishop, you are wrong.You are so sinful and licentious that even a three-year-old would say you are not to be messed with.You exploited profits, were self-willed, and disturbed the law and order; you were promiscuous and absurd, and dishonored your stolen high position in the church.As for your insidiousness and treachery, it is even more obvious at a glance.On London Bridge and in the Tower of London, you have tried to kill me time and time again.That’s not enough, if you show what you think in your heart, I’m afraid that even your majesty won’t let go of your growing ambition.

Winchester, Gloucester, I say you are talking nonsense.My lords, allow me to reply to his charges.He said that I am greedy for money and rebellious, so may I ask, why am I still penniless?He said I was ambitious, so why did I stick to my job and not seek promotion?As for the fact that I like to make trouble, who else is more peace-loving than me if someone does not provoke me?No, my lords, it is not these things that offend him, that is not the cause of the duke's anger.The real reason was that he wanted to monopolize the power and surround the king by himself. If he couldn't get what he wanted, he couldn't help being angry and roaring like thunder.But he should know I'm a good—

Gloucester, what a ghost!You are nothing more than an illegitimate son of my grandfather! Winchester, my lord, what are you, may I ask?It's just a role of relying on other people's throne, pretending to be a tiger. Gloucester Am I not Lord Protector, tricky monk? Winchester Am I not a bishop of the Church? Gloucester Yes, you hide in the church, as a robber hides in a castle, To keep his loot conveniently. Winchester O godless Gloucester! Gloucester You only fear God in your office, how do you fear God in your private life? Winchester I will appeal to Rome. Warwick Then you go on mule and horse.

Lord Somerset, you should be patient. Warwick Yes, you can't embarrass the bishop too much. Somerset I think your lord has a sense of religion, and knows how to deal with those who hold positions in the Church. Warwick I think our bishop should also be humble, for it would be dishonorable to argue like this. Somerset is right, touches his priesthood, he has to fight. Warwick what priesthood or no priesthood, what does that matter?Isn't the Lord the Lord Protector of the King? Plantagenet (aside) I reckon I'd better keep my mouth shut lest they say, "Son, lad, when you ought to speak, our lords are talking, can you intervene?" Otherwise, I Instead, you can put a cold arrow at Winchester.

Uncle Gloucester, King Henry, Uncle Winchester, you are the pillars of our country in England, I want to implore you, if the entreaty is to be effective, you must help each other and make peace with each other.Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the court if two important ministers squeezed each other out?Gentlemen, although I am still young, I also know that discord between officials and bureaucrats is like a poisonous snake, which will gnaw off the heart of the country. Inside shout: "Down with the bastards in the brown livery!" KING HENRY Who is making a fuss? Warwick, I can assure you that this must be someone under the Bishop who deliberately caused trouble.

There was another shout: "Throw stones! Throw stones!" The Mayor of London led his entourage up. Mayor, my lords, my lord, have pity on the City of London, have pity on us!The Bishop and the Duke of Gloucester's men were fighting in droves.I had forbidden them to bear arms, and they filled their pockets with stones, and threw them at each other, and the brains of many had been blown out.Doors and windows were broken in every street, and shops were frightened and closed. The soldiers of both sides came up and fought with each other until their heads were broken. KING HENRY Since you are my loyal subjects, I order you to stop immediately and keep order.Uncle Gloucester, put an end to this strife.

First soldier is not good, if we are not allowed to throw stones, we will bite with our teeth. Second Soldier, you can do whatever you like, and we are not ambiguous. (The scuffle breaks out again.) My brethren in Gloucester, no more brawling, no more fighting. My lord Soldier C, we know that you are a just and upright man, and that you are of the highest rank except Your Majesty.You are the benevolent father of our country. We cannot watch you, a nobleman, be bullied by a scholar. Our wives, children, and ourselves are willing to die for you, even if we are killed by your enemies. It's true that the personal armor is good. After we die, the nails we cut can also form a team and fight them again. (Repeat engagement.)

Gloucester stop, I said, stop!If you love me, and you have said you love me, follow my persuasion and be patient for a while. KING HENRY Oh, this quarrel makes me sick!My lord Winchester, are you indifferent to watching me exchange tears?If you have no compassion, who has compassion?Who can be taught to love peace, if the priesthood loves quarrels? Yield Warwick, Lord Protector, yield, Bishop of Winchester.Are you going to be stubborn to the end, kill your king and destroy your country?You see, because of the mutual hatred between the two of you, a catastrophe has been caused.Unless you really want to bleed, just make it up.

Winchester told him to admit his mistake first, or I will never back down. Gloucester For the king's sake, I must submit, or I'll rip out the monk's heart, And I won't give him the upper hand. Bishop Warwick Winchester, look, your lordship's anger has calmed down, and it can be seen from his stretched brows, why are you still so tense? Gloucester Come, Winchester, I offer you my hand of reconciliation. King Henry Pooh, Uncle Beaufort!I have heard you say in your sermons that it is a heinous sin to do harm to another.Do you not do what you say, and violate your own instruction above all?

Well said, King Warwick!The bishop hit a soft nail.Your Excellency the Bishop of Winchester, are you not afraid of embarrassment?Be lenient!Hey, are you going to let a kid teach you how to be a man? Winchester Well, Lord of Gloucester, I yield to you.I return your kindness with kindness, and I extend my hand in return for your outstretched hand. Gloucester (aside) Well, I think it's all hypocrisy - my friends, my dear countrymen, behold, we two shake hands, and it's a flag of truce, to signify both of us and our All the subordinates have reconciled.Lord, I am not false. Winchester (aside) God see, I don't mean what I say!

King Henry, dear uncle, dear Lord of Gloucester, I am so glad you have made peace!Go, all of you!Don't bother us any more.Your master has made peace, so make peace with you. First Soldier I am satisfied, and I go to the surgeon to heal the wound. Soldier B, I will go too. Third Soldier I'll go to the hotel to see if there's anything to heal my wounds. (Exit the mayor and all the guards.) Your Majesty, King Wallace, we have a memorial to recommend Richard Plantagenet, please read it from Your Majesty. Lord Gloucesterwarwick, well played.My good lord, your kindness is so great, and it must be to Richard.The reason for this, I have told your Majesty at Eltham Palace. Uncle King Henry, those circumstances you mentioned are justified, therefore, gentlemen, we resolve to restore Richard to the world. Warwick restored Richard to his post, and his father's injustice was cleared. Since everyone at Winchester agrees, so do I. King Henry Richard, as long as you are sincerely loyal, I will not only reward you with your world position, but also return all the property of your ancestors, the York family, to you. The minister of Plantagenet swears allegiance, and will do his best until he dies. King Henry, you may kneel before me.To reward your loyalty, I give you the sword of York.Rise up, Richard, and be a true Plantagenet, you have been made the Honorable Duke of York. Plantagenet As long as Richard is in office, I will never allow your majesty's enemies to run rampant; I will do my best to eradicate all who have no opinion of your majesty! You are welcome, my lord, the mighty Duke of York! Somerset (aside) Die, vile lord, vile Duke of York! Gloucester is well now, let my majesty cross the sea to France, and hold the coronation there.A king's presence inspires the love of his subjects and loyal friends, and discourages his enemies. KING HENRY Whatever Uncle Gloucester tells me, I do as I say, because a loyal word can remove many dangers. Gloucester's majesty's ship is ready. (Internal music, trumpet playing coloratura. All except Exeter.) Exeter Alas, who can tell how things will change, though we may be in England or in France?Now the ministers in the court and the various factions are pretending to be reconciled on the surface, but the poisonous flame of hostility is burning in their hearts, and one day it will erupt into a raging fire.Just like a limb with carbuncle festers slowly until the bones and muscles fall off together, the malicious rivalry between the two factions will produce the same result.I'm afraid that a nursery rhyme when Henry V was in power is now about to come true.The nursery rhyme says, "Henry who was born at Monmouth wins everything, Henry who was born at Windsor gets nothing." It's getting more and more obvious, and I hope my days are over before that unfortunate day comes It's good. (Down.) Second France.before rouen Joan in disguise, the soldiers disguised as peasants, followed behind with sacks on their backs. In front of Joan of Arc is already the gate of Rouen, we are now going to take this city by trick.Be careful in your actions and careful in your words.You have to pretend to be a countryman, pretending to be a corn seller in the city.If we get in the city--and I think we can--if these lazy defenders are not well guarded, I'll signal to our people over there, and ask the Dauphin Charles to come and attack the city. First Soldier We carry sacks, and with them we pack the city.We shall be masters of Rouen again.Knock now. (Knock on the door.) Who is the guard (inner white)? Joan was the common people, the poor common people of France.We went to the city to go to the market to sell corn. Guards (Kaesong) come in, come in, the bell has already rung. Joan Hi, Rouen, your defenses are about to be destroyed by me. (Joan and others enter the city.) Enter Charles, the Bastard of Orleans, and Alençon with his troops. Charlie May Saint Denis bless our scheme with success!We can rest easy in Rouen again. The bastard Joan of Arc had already entered the city with her helpers.When she is there, how is she going to tell us where is the best place to attack? Alencon made an appointment to hold a torch on the tower, and when she saw the torch, she could understand what she meant: the gate she entered was the weakest part of the city's defenses. Joan of Arc climbed to the top of the city, holding high the torch. Behold, Joan, this is the happy marriage torch which unites Rouen to his countrymen, which burns Talbot's partisans to pieces. (Down.) Bastard, behold, my lord Charles, our friend has put the torch on the tower! Let the torch shine like a vengeful comet, Charlie!Let it herald the total collapse of our enemies! Alençon could not delay, delay would delay the matter.Immediately attack the city, everyone shouted: "Long live the prince!" Kill the guards immediately. (All enter the city.) Drums and horns.Talbot came on in the scrimmage. Talbot France, you use tricks, don't be complacent, as long as Talbot lives, you'll regret it later and weep bitterly.The Joan of Arc, caught us off guard, played a sneaky trick, and we almost fell into the hands of the French. (Down.) Drums and horns.The two armies clashed.Peifu was dying, lying in a chair, and all the soldiers came out of the city.Talbot and Burgundy lead the British army outside the city.Joan of Arc, Charles, the Bastard of Orléans, Alençon and others go up to the city. Good morning, Joan of Arc heroes!Do you want corn flour steamed buns?I know Lord Burgundy would rather go hungry than pay so much for our corn again.The ones sold to you last time had too many tares.How do you like the taste? Burgundy devil, laugh all you can, shameless bitch!I'll soon gag you with your own corn and make you curse your own crop. Charlie, I'm afraid your lord will starve to death before he can do that. Pei Fuhu, we don't need empty words, we want to use practical actions to avenge your tricks. Joan What do you want, old man?Do you want to compare guns?Do you want to lie on a chair and charge? Goblin of Talbot France, damned slut, you've got your mistresses stunned!He's old and sick, so you're still making fun of him, isn't it right?Daughter, I want to fight you again, otherwise, Talbot will die with regret. General Joan of Arc, why are you so angry?You see Joan is still calm.As soon as Talbot was in a fit of rage, there was going to be a downpour. (Talbot and the British general whisper to each other to discuss countermeasures.) Joan of Arc wishes you success in your council!Who among you wants to speak? Talbot, do you dare to come out of town and fight us? Joan of Arc, your lord probably thinks we are all fools, you must take our weight seriously. Talbot I don't speak to that snarky banshee, I speak to you, Alençon, and the rest.Do you dare to go out of the city and fight us to the death like dignified soldiers? Alençon told his lord that we will not come. Lord Talbot, hang yourself!Dirty French muleters!You can only hide in the city and play tricks, you don't have the guts to be a classy person and compare yourself with us. Jeanne go, generals!Let's go down town.Judging by Talbot's appearance, he has malicious intentions.My lord, may God bless you.We meet you just to tell you that we are already here. (Same from the top of the city.) Don't worry, Talbot, we will come soon, otherwise, Talbot's fame will be in vain!On the honor of your family, Burgundy, swear by all your might to retake this city in revenge for your public insult in France.As for me, I swear that I will fight as hard as I can to take this city back, as King Henry lived and lived, and the late King was the conqueror of this land, and the remains of the great Richard the Lionheart are buried in this lately lost city. It is as real as the inside of the city, without any falsehood. Burgundy The oath you said was the same as the two of us said. Talbot Before we go to war, let me settle this dying old general, Lord Padford.Grandpa, I want to send you to a more comfortable place so that you can rest assured. General Paftarbot, you can't go down with me like that.I decided to sit in front of the city of Rouen and live and die with you. My valiant lord of Burgundy, please grant our request. BEFORE I will never leave here.I read in history books that the father of King Arthur, Pendragon, came to the front of the battle sick and defeated the enemy.I think that I am like flesh and blood with the soldiers on weekdays. If I stay here, I will definitely boost morale. Talbot is such an old hero who sees death as home!Just do it.May Heaven keep Lord Padford safe and sound!Brave General Burgundy, if nothing else, assemble your forces at once and attack. (Only Peifu and his attendants remained on the field, and the rest followed.) Drums and horns.The two armies fought.Enter John Forstoff and the Captain during the melee. Captain Sir Forstoff, where are you going in such a hurry? Where is Forstoff going!It's important to escape, we're going to lose the battle again. Captain what!You want to escape and leave Lord Talbot alone? Faustoff Yes, no matter how many Lord Talbots there are, I can't control it. My own life is the first priority. (Down.) Captain, cowardly knight!May you hit walls everywhere! (Down.) Blow off the bugle.Soldiers melee.Joan of Arc, Alençon, and Charlie escaped from the city, and the scene ended. Buffy's peaceful soul can now follow his will and leave the world.I have seen the defeat of the enemy.What is the result of being stupid and self-serving?Those who not so long ago were boastful and sarcastic are now eager to flee for their lives. (Baifu died in the chair, and the two fell down.) Drums and horns.Re-enter Talbot, Burgundy, and others. Talbot in one day, lost and found!That's double the honor, Burgundy.This victory is really a blessing from heaven. Talbot, who is brave and good at fighting in Burgundy, I admire you very much, and I want to engrave your noble deeds in my heart forever. Talbot Thank you, gentle duke.Where did Joan of Arc go?I think her old friend is probably asleep.How come the witticisms of the bastard of Orleans and Charlie's harsh words have stopped?What, are you listless?Those gang of heroes had all fled, causing Rouang to be so sad that he couldn't lift his head.Now we leave a few able officers, and put order in the city, and then go to Paris to see the king, where our young lord and his court are stationed. Lord Talbot of Burgundy will do as he says. Talbot But before we go, let's not forget the late Duke of Bedford, whose funeral we must have at Rouen.He was indeed an outstanding soldier and a kind-hearted minister during his lifetime, but princes and generals are always bound to die. A miserable life always ends like this. (same below.) The third game is the same as before.plain near rouen Enter Charles, the Bastard of Orleans, Alençon, and Joan of Arc, leading the procession. Joan of Arc's military strategist wins or loses by accident, and it is not enough to worry about.Ladies and gentlemen, don't be disheartened because of the gains and losses of the city of Rouen.To grieve in vain over what is done is not only useless but also detrimental.Don't look at the arrogant Talbot who is arrogant for a while, like a peacock wagging his tail, we will soon pluck his feathers and cut off his wings.As long as the prince and the princes proceed carefully, they will surely succeed. Charlie, we have always followed Xianqing's plan, you are resourceful, we fully trust.Never doubt just because of a defeat. Bastard, please make another clever plan, and we will make you famous all over the world. Alençon We will choose a place that is not polluted, and build a statue for you, and worship you as a saint.Virtuous virgin, I hope you will bless us a lot. Since Joan of Arc has been entrusted by all the lords, I will do my best to serve you.There is a plan here, I don't know if it is in line with respect.To weaken Talbot's power, he must be separated from Burgundy. I want to use sweet words to win Burgundy over, and Talbot will be helpless. What a brilliant idea Charlie had.If Burgundy surrenders, Henry's army will not be able to stand in France, he will never annex our land, and we will drive him out of the country. Alencon, we will drive them away forever, even if they want to get a fief in France, we will definitely not agree. Joan of Arc Wait and see, my lords, I will make this plan a complete success. (Drums beating in the distance.) Listen, from the beating of the drums, you can hear the British army marching towards Paris. Blowing the British marching horn.Talbot leads the team up and goes around the field in the distance. Joan of Arc Talbot passed by, his standard flying, followed by all his British troops. Blowing the French Troop.Enter Burgundy leading the team. The team behind Joan of Arc is Burgundy and his subordinates.It was only natural that his team fell behind.Hurry up and sound the trumpet for negotiations, we want to talk to him. (Blowing the trumpet to convene negotiations.) Charlie We demand a meeting with the Duke of Burgundy! Who wants to talk to me in Burgundy? Joan is Dauphin Charles of France, your countryman. Burgundy Charlie, what do you have to say?I'm going elsewhere. Charlie, Joan of Arc, tell him to impress him with your words. Joan of Arc, valiant general of Burgundy, savior of France!Please pause a moment, and allow your humble servant to say a few words to you. Burgundy has something to say quickly, don't be too rambunctious. Joan invites you to look at your country, to see how rich France, many famous cities and great cities, have been trampled by cruel enemies.You are like a mother. Don't you feel sad when you see your innocent baby dying, and will soon close its tender eyes?You see, France, which has been suffering so much, is now covered with wounds, and the most deplorable thing is that many of these wounds were caused by your own hands.Alas, turn your backs on you.You have to distinguish between the enemy and us, and don't treat your relatives as enemies.A drop of blood stabbed from the heart of the motherland will be more shocking than the blood of thousands of foreigners flowing into rivers.Come back to the embrace of the motherland.Use your tears like a spring to wash away the stains on the motherland. How am I in Burgundy?Is it her words that enchant me?Or is my patriotic nature swaying me? Joan, let me tell you, the whole of France, all the French people, are wondering which country you are from.The country you are willing to serve is only using you to advance its interests, and it has no confidence in you.Now Talbot is using you as a tool for murder, but once he establishes a foothold in France, and France becomes King Henry's world, he will kick you out.I remind you of one thing, which proves my word.Is not the Duke of Orleans your enemy?Wasn't he originally detained by the British?But as soon as the British heard that he was your enemy, they immediately released him without asking for a ransom. Didn't they mean to make things difficult for you and your friends?Think about it, why do you bother to cut yourself off from the motherland and serve for a foreign race instead?I'm afraid that one day all the birds will hide, and you will not be immune to being slaughtered by others.Come on, come back!Lost general, come back quickly, Dauphin Charles and all French officers and soldiers are waiting to hug you. I was conquered in Burgundy, and these righteous words of hers attacked my heart more powerfully than the intense artillery fire, and made me almost prostrate on the ground.Motherland, dear compatriots, forgive me; my lords, accept my heartfelt embrace.I lead the whole army at your command.Farewell, Talbot, I no longer trust you. Joan of Arc is really like what a Frenchman did. One day she eats the owner, the next day she eats the west, and if she changes her mind, she will change her mind. Welcome to Charlie, brave duke!Your friendship is a great encouragement to us. The Bastard brings courage to our hearts. Joan of Alençon has done a great job in this matter, and if she is given a golden crown, she will be worthy of it. Charles, my lords, mobilize our troops, march with Burgundy, and utterly defeat the enemy. (same below.) Fourth Paris.a room in the palace Enter KING HENRY, Gloucester, Winchester, York, Suffolk, Somerset, Warwick, Exeter; Fannon, Bassett, and others.Talbo led his soldiers to see him. Your Majesty Talbot, my lords.When I heard the news of your coming here, I temporarily stopped the fighting and stood up to pay tribute to Your Majesty.With this arm I conquered fifty castles, twelve cities, seven fortified cities, and captured five hundred high-ranking generals for my king.To pay my respects, with the same arm I lay my sword at the King's feet, (kneeling) And with humble devotion, I offer the glory of the deed to God and to my majesty the king. Uncle Gloucester, King Henry, is this general Lord Talbot who has been fighting in France for a long time? My lord of Gloucester sees, it is he. King Henry welcomes you, victorious general!I am still young now, but I have heard from my father that you are an outstanding general since I was a child.In recent years, we have known for sure that you are dedicated to the country and have worked hard for the country.Just because I haven't met you so far, I haven't been able to give you the reward you deserve.Rise now, and in honor of your deeds, you are made Earl of Solusbury, and you are admitted to my coronation. (Trumpets play coloratura. All except Fannon and Bassett.) Fannon, I tell you, you were so rude to me when you crossed the sea, and dared to spoil the flowers I wore in honor of the Duke of York. Do you dare to insist on what you said then? Bassett insisted, of course.You spoke ill of my lord Lord Somerset that day with your cunning tongue.If you don't change your words, why should I change my words? Fannon, what kind of person is your boss, I will treat him accordingly. Bassett, what kind of person do you think he is?My employer is not necessarily inferior to York. Fannon, listen, I say he is inferior.To prove my word, I will give you a punch. (Hits Bassett.) Bassett bastard, you know the rules in the court, no sword fights are allowed, offenders will be executed immediately, otherwise, I will cut your blood out with one sword.I'm going to see the king and ask him to grant me the right to avenge my shame. Then we will meet again and let you know how powerful I am. Fannon Well, villain, I'm going to see the king too, we'll meet later, I'll be here before you. (Exit each.)
