Chapter 128: The curtain call

ps: Ask for a ticket, ask for a recommendation, it's the last day of the month, and I hope that I can give me a vote if I have a monthly pass!

On the morning of the twentieth of March, the area of Shoedich, which had been a meeting place for the poor and the wicked, was filled with all sorts of splendid carriages.

Horse-drawn carriage after carriage slowly passed through the streets of Shoedich, and the already congested streets were now even more congested.

This, combined with the uneven streets of the original Chauedic area, caused congestion of horse-drawn carriages.

Of course, at this time, the poor do not dare to compete with these people who are either rich or noble, they do not have that qualification.

As a result, a large number of poor people can only sit around, hoping to pass quickly.

At this time, it is a test of eyesight, and people with low status should consciously move away and let the carriage of high status pass first.

In this way, it took a full ten minutes of ink to get the order of passage, and the whole street was cleared.

And the pedestrians on the road slowly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, they are not as relaxed as these noble lords, and if they delay too much time, their livelihood will be problematic for a day.

When the carriages finally passed, Zippa, who was guarding the side of the road, breathed a sigh of relief.

As a messenger, his duty was to deliver the letter to its rightful place, and at the end of each day, he would lie on his plank bed, tired and unwilling to move, and not wanting to open his eyes.

However, he cherishes this job immensely, which is a source of support for his family.

Fortunately, the congestion was not long today, otherwise he would not have been able to complete the task today.

"Hey, buddy, do you know why we have so many rich people here?"

Looking at the gradually clearing street, Zipa couldn't help but ask the guy who looked sleek on the side.

Although his hat has holes in it, the first impression of the whole person in the eyes of others is that he is a sleek person.

"Hey, hey! This matter has long been spread, and His Majesty the King has invited the nobles and officials to go to the theater together! ”

The sleek buddy smiled and shook his head, a look of envy on his face.

"What? Are you sure? His Majesty the King will watch a play? Isn't this what we civilians who don't have money are watching? ”

Zippa feels that the world is not normal, God! His Majesty would read what the poor like to see.

"Yes! Who would have thought of this, maybe His Majesty the King has changed his taste! ”

"You don't know any of that!" Behind the two of them, a skinny monkey-like guy interjected.

Zippa looked at the dozens of hats in front of him on rags, and immediately knew his identity, a merchant who set up a stall.

"I have heard that our Majesty Edward, like his father, His Majesty Henry VIII, is not fond of hunting, but of watching plays!"

It seems that the two of them listened more seriously, and the hat merchant spoke more tastefully, and his mouth moved faster!

"His Majesty the King not only sent people to buy the four major theaters such as the Rose Theater, but also spent money on large-scale renovations."

"And this time, His Majesty the King invited someone to write a drama book, and today he invited the nobles and rich businessmen to read it together!"

"It's set at the Rose Theater, and now hundreds of people are gathered around the theater, for fear of an accident! Gee! ”

As he spoke, the merchant couldn't help but sigh and pout.

And around, the people who were originally blocked together also discussed, and the content was much the same, nothing more than the content of the king watching the play.

And the Hanseatic businessman Marx. As a famous merchant of the Hanseatic League in London, Loiz is also a first-class businessman, so he also has a copy of this invitation.

The last time he heard that the London merchant had asked to see Edward, he was terrified for a while, and then he quickly asked to see Edward, but Edward refused.

So, after leaving a gift of five hundred pounds, he left.

After some time, he was relieved that he had not found out what regulations Edward had issued to deal with Hanseatic merchants.

However, without seeing Edward in person, he felt uneasy.

His carriage was the second to pass by, and he followed the ministers and parliamentarians in addition to the nobles, and, of course, some of London's top merchants.

In less than a moment, Mark was at the Rose Theatre, and the entrance to the theatre was lined with lime lattices that were exactly the size of a carriage.

He also found that the closer the lattice was to the entrance of the theater, the higher the status of his master.

The nearest compartment to the entrance of the theater was empty, and he knew it was for the king.

And his groom, under the traction of a special person, came to a grid of his own.

With the help of the groom, Mark got out of the car and looked carefully, only to find that there was a small sign in front of each grid, and his sign read Mark in Latin. Loiz.

When he came to the door of the theater, he found that the walls of the theater were red as a whole, and he asked someone to paint a lot of rose patterns on the walls.

Even the gate is covered with roses.

Greeted by two rows of beautiful and energetic girls, Mark walked into the theater.

A maid came up to him, guided Mark, and put him in a back position.

He was also surrounded by some merchants from the Hanseatic League, and Mark hurriedly greeted him.

"Stand !!" After a while, he heard a voice, and then he and everyone around him stood up.

"By the grace of God, King of England, France and Ireland, husband of the Queen of Scots, keeper of the faith, head of the Church of England and Ireland Edward VI to β€”β€”β€”β€”"

As the big man shouted, everyone stood up in unison and bowed to Edward who arrived at the door.

"Your Majestyβ€”"

Edward walked straight in, didn't look at the people standing, and went straight to the front box and sat down.

"Ritesβ€”" The ceremonial officer said directly.

Mark sat down with the rest of the group and began to enjoy the play.

As a successful businessman, he has almost always figured out that drama is something that the common people at the bottom like to watch.

And nobles and other high-class figures are basically unheard of, for them it is a shameful thing to have a hobby with the common people.

Therefore, Bishop Thomas and Duke Houghton, who were currently sitting there, looked confused, and they didn't understand what they were sitting here for.

Basically, Edward sent an invitation letter, and they directly instructed the butler to prepare for the action, and they didn't know the details.

These high-ranking nobles and important ministers of the Privy Council sat in the second row behind Edward, which was also a box seat.

Suddenly, a red curtain opened on the stage in front of him, and a well-dressed middle-aged man stood in the center of the stage.

The middle-aged man bowed forward, and then said: "The large-scale historical drama of "Henry VII" has officially begun!" ”

After saying that, the man left the stage of his own accord, and a little child came on the stage, and he was Henry VII.

As a child, Henry VII was very magical, and when he was born, lightning appeared in the sky, and a red cloud appeared above his mother's room.

Once, he was so playful that he got lost in the forest.

When I was thirsty, I suddenly found a hot spring; When he was hungry, fruit fell from the tree; When he was tired and sleepy, a doe warmed him up.

Miraculously, three days later, he automatically returned to his lost location and found his family.

In short, since he was a child, he was a magical person, and people unconsciously liked him and were willing to help him.

So, he got a nickname - the boy whom God loved.

And then the villain Richard III appeared, and the actors described in detail how Richard III won the throne.

And after he waited for the throne, there were droughts, floods, etc., and the people of England were living in dire straits.

The actors portrayed it very well, expressing the pain of ordinary people at the moment of disaster, which deeply reflects the pain of the English people.

And then it was to protect Henry, who was the heir to the House of Lancaster, at the age of fourteen.

Many nobles have gone through a lot of hardships and difficulties, but under God's care, they encounter all kinds of coincidences, which are interspersed with some stupid officials sent by Richard III, the ridiculous behavior when arresting Henry, and the language.

Later, Henry VII, under the guard of his family and loyal nobles, finally arrived in Brittany, the fiefdom of England in France.

Later, when Richard III sent someone to assassinate and kidnap Henry VII, he was cracked by the sane Henry.

After that, the plot reaches a climax, and King Richard VIII of France is very interested in the arrival of Henry VII.

Thus began a series of plots in which Henry VII made a bet with Richard VIII.

Faced with Richard VIII's five problems, the witty Henry VII used his clever mind and God's blessing to successfully dodge them one by one.

Later, he was victorious, and he was rewarded with a few mercenaries who were able to return to England and begin to reclaim his throne.

Thus began the fantastical battle to regain the throne, with 2,000 mercenaries led by Henry VII and Richard III's army of 10,000 men battling each other.

The specific is omitted, but in accordance with the will of God, Henry VII finally became king.

After five hours, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the curtain finally came down on this magnificent Henry VII.

Edward and Lori, as well as a kind of ministers and nobles who were invited, were also hungry.

With Edward's lead applause, the play was finally a complete success.

So, with the thanks of the actors, Edward took Lori's hand and walked out of the theater.

And the ministers and nobles are still discussing the plot.

There are both surprises and the audacity of the actors, who can play kings and nobles, and some people talk about the thrilling plot.

Edward, on the other hand, took little Lori back to Whitehall Palace.

While he was feasting, Lucy said that someone had asked to see him.
