Chapter 8 Chapter Six His Majesty King Louis XIII

This incident caused great repercussions.M. de Treville publicly reprimanded the Musketeers, but secretly congratulated them.However, he felt that it was not too late to report to the king, so he hurried to the Louvre.He arrived too late, and the king was conversing with the cardinal inside.The guard told Treville that His Majesty was dealing with government affairs and would not receive him at this time.That evening, Treville went to the place where the king played cards.His Majesty the King won the money, he was a man who loved money, so he was very happy at this time, and when he saw Treville from a distance, he said:

Come here, Mr. Captain.Please come and take my lecture.Do you know that His Excellency the Cardinal came to tell me about your musketeers, that he was in a very bad mood, and was ill to-night.Well, well, your musketeers are daredevils and deserve to be hanged. No, Your Majesty, Treville saw the turning point of the matter at a glance, and quickly replied, no.On the contrary, they are all law-abiding people, all of them are as docile as sheep.They have but one desire, and I can vouch for it: their swords are drawn, to serve His Majesty.But what can be done?The cardinal's guards kept picking on them.For the honor of the team, those poor young men had to defend themselves.

Listen to me, Monsieur de Treville, said the king, listen to me!The cardinal seems to be referring to a monastery.To be honest, dear captain, I really want to remove your post and give it to Miss Xie Mengluo. I have promised her a long time ago that I will hand over a monastery to her to preside over it.Don't think I'll take your word for it.The world calls me just Louis, Monsieur de Treville.Hold on, let's talk later. ah!I believe in your justice, Your Majesty, so I will wait patiently and quietly for your orders. Wait, sir, wait, said the king again, I will not keep you waiting long.

Sure enough, the king's luck became bad and he started losing the money he won. Naturally, he was very happy to find an excuse to be Charlemagne (note: being Charlemagne means winning money at the casino and leaving.) The origin of this incision on the casino that has been used all the time, we honestly don't know.So after a while the king stood up and put most of the money in front of him, which was won, into his pocket. Ravijoville, he said, take my place.I have an urgent matter to speak to Mr. Treville.oh!I have eighty louis in front of me, put out the same amount, lest the losers complain.Fairness is the most important thing!

The king then turned to M. de Treville, and the two went together to a window. Why, sir, asked the King, do you say that His Excellency's guards are finding fault with your musketeers? Yes, Your Majesty, as always. How did things go wrong?You know, dear captain, that the Inquisitor needs to hear both sides. cough!For God's sake, it couldn't be easier, it couldn't be more natural.Three of my best soldiers, His Majesty has long known their names, and has praised their loyalty more than once.I assure Your Majesty that they all serve His Majesty wholeheartedly.Three of my best soldiers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, went out to walk yesterday, and with them a young Gascon boy whom I introduced to them yesterday morning.They are going to a place to relax.St. Germain, I think, agreed in advance to meet at Carmelites | Monastery of the Barefoot.As soon as they got there, Jusak, Kayusak, Biscarra and two other guards challenged them.Obviously, if these guards weren't plotting to do something wrong, why would they kill so many people all at once?

oh!oh!You reminded me, said the king, that they must have gone there themselves to fight. I didn't report them that way.I think His Majesty will judge for himself, the vicinity of the Barefoot Monastery is so desolate, what are the five of them doing there with weapons? Yes, it makes sense.Treville, you have a point. As soon as they saw my musketeers, they changed their minds, put aside their personal grievances, and set out to avenge the community.Your Majesty is not unaware that the musketeers who serve the king, and who serve the king wholeheartedly, are the sworn enemies of the guards who serve the cardinal.

Yes, Treville, yes.The King said sadly that it was painful to see France so divided, with two heads on the throne.But it will be over, Treville, it will be over.So, you say that the guards provoked the musketeers? I say it may have happened in this way, but I cannot be sure, my lord.You know how difficult it is to find out the truth, unless you are gifted with extraordinary talents and can be called the just Louis XIII by the world You are right, Treville.But not only your musketeers, but a boy with them? Yes, sire, one of them was wounded.That is, the king's three musketeers, including a wounded man, and a child, not only withstood the cardinal's five hideous bodyguards, but knocked four of them to the ground.

This is a victory!The king shouted with joy, a complete victory! Yes, my lord, as great a victory as at the bridge. You said four people, including a wounded person and a child? A young man who has just grown up.He even performed very well this time.I take the liberty of recommending him to Your Majesty. What's his name? D'Artagnan, Your Majesty.This is the son of one of my oldest friends.His father was a man with a glorious history, having participated in sectarian wars with the former king. You say this guy is doing well?Tell me about it.You know, I just love stories about wars and fighting.

The king stroked his beard triumphantly, half sitting and half leaning against the window sill. Your Majesty, said Treville, I told you that d'Artagnan was almost a boy, and since he had not yet become a musketeer, he was dressed as a commoner.The cardinal's guards saw that he was young and not a Musketeer, and told him to go away before they could attack. So, do you see, Treville, said the king, that they were the first to attack. It is so, sire, there is no doubt about it.They ordered d'Artagnan to go away, but he replied that his heart was that of the musketeers, and that everything belonged to his majesty, so he would live and die with some musketeers.

Brave young man!murmured the king. He did stay and fight alongside the musketeers.Your Majesty, you have got a very valiant fighter, who gave Jussac that dreadful blow that made the cardinal mad. Was he the one who stabbed Jusak?exclaimed the king, he is a child!This, Treville, is impossible. However, the facts are as I have just had the honor to report to Your Majesty. Jusak is the top swordsman in the country! Yes, Your Majesty, he met a master this time. I want to see the lad, Treville, I want to see him.See if we can arrange something, well, we must take care of him. When will His Majesty summon him?

Tomorrow noon, Treville. Just bring him here alone? No, bring all four together.I want to thank all four of them at the same time; there are not many people who are loyal, Treville, and they should be rewarded for their loyalty. Your Majesty, we will be summoned at the Louvre at noon. Well, come up the little stairs, Treville, come up the little stairs.no need for the cardinal to know Yes, Your Majesty. You know, Treville, the decree is the decree, the decree forbids dueling. However, this fight, Your Majesty, has gone beyond the scope of an ordinary duel. This is a brawl.The evidence, the five guards of the cardinal, the three musketeers who attacked me, and d'Artagnan. right.But never mind, said the King, Treville, come up the little staircase. A smile appeared on Treville's face.He felt that the young king could be turned against his teacher (Note: Louis XIII was born in 1601 and ascended the throne in 1610, and Richelieu was born in 1585 and was Louis XIII The teacher, and mediated the conflict between him and the queen mother, so it is said.), I have gained a lot, so I respectfully bowed to the king, and withdrew after getting permission. That evening the Three Musketeers learned of their award.They had known the king for a long time, so they were not too excited, but d'Artagnan, with his Gasconian imagination, saw that he was about to rise to the top, and had many golden dreams at night.At eight o'clock next morning he reached Athos' lodging. D'Artagnan saw the musketeer fully dressed and about to go out.The king would not meet until noon, so he, Porthos, and Aramis planned to play tennis at the tennis court next to the Luxembourg Gardens.Athos invites d'Artagnan to go with them.D'Artagnan, though he knew nothing about the sport and had never played it, agreed to go, because it was only nearly nine o'clock, and he did not know what to do with the time until twelve o'clock at noon. The other two musketeers had arrived and were practicing.Athos was good at all kinds of sports, so he and d'Artagnan went to the opposite field and fought with them.However, even though he used his left hand, as soon as he moved, he knew that his new injury could not bear this kind of exercise.D'Artagnan, therefore, was left alone on the side, and he declared that he was too stupid to play a real game, and they continued to play without scoring.But a ball from the strong wrist of Porthos flew almost past d'Artagnan's face.D'Artagnan thought that if the ball hadn't flown from the side and hit him in the face, then he might lose the chance of being summoned and never be able to see the king.And this audience, in his Gascon imagination, would decide his future, so he bowed courteously to Porthos and Aramis, saying that he would wait until he was strong enough to take on them. After playing with them, he retreated to the corridor outside the sideline of the court. It was also unlucky for d'Artagnan that there was a cardinal's guard in the audience.This person was still indignant at the failure suffered by his companion yesterday, and determined to find an opportunity to take revenge. Now that the opportunity had come, he said to the people around him: It is not surprising that the young man is afraid of the ball; he appears to be a young apprentice in the Musketeers. As if bitten by a snake, d'Artagnan turned his head and stared at the rude guard. Damn it, the guard twirled his beard domineeringly and said, boy, you can look at me whatever you like, and say what I say. You speak so plainly, replied d'Artagnan in a low voice, that no explanation is necessary.Please come with me. when?The guard still asked in a mocking tone. immediately.please. You probably know who I am? Me, I don't know at all, and I don't want to ask. you are wrong.If you knew my name, maybe you wouldn't be so impatient. May I have your name? Bernarue, listen to your orders. Well, Monsieur Bernardou, said d'Artagnan calmly, I will wait for you at the door. Come on, sir, I will go with you. Take it easy, sir, and don't let anyone notice that we're going out together.You must understand that too many idle people will hinder what we want to do. OKsaid the guard.He wondered that his name had done nothing for the young man. The name of Bernarou was indeed known to everyone, everyone knew it, probably only D'Artagnan did not know it.This person is always indispensable in the fights that happen every two days.Such brawls, although repeatedly prohibited by the king and the cardinal, have been repeatedly prohibited. Porthos and Aramis were so engrossed in playing, Athos was so absorbed in watching the game that he did not notice that their young companion was gone.D'Artagnan stopped at the gate, as he had said to the cardinal's guard; the guard came down a moment later.D'Artagnan had to go to see the king at twelve o'clock noon according to the agreed time, so he couldn't waste a minute.He looked around and found that the street was deserted. To be honest, he said to his opponent, you are lucky, although your name is Bernarue, but you have met only a musketeer apprentice.But don't worry, I'll do my best.Ready to fight! However, the guard, who was provoked by d'Artagnan, said that this place seems to be a poor choice. We'd better go behind the Abbey of Saint-Germain, or go to the Meadow of Literati. You are very right, said d'Artagnan, but unfortunately I have an appointment at twelve o'clock at noon, and time is too tight.Ready, sir, ready! Bernard couldn't bear to hear such a compliment repeated.In an instant, he had drawn out his shining sword and stabbed at his opponent.He thought his opponent was still a baby and wanted to calm him down. But d'Artagnan, who had been apprenticed yesterday, had just come out victorious, and was so encouraged by future favors, would not back down.There was such a sound that the two swords intersected, and D'Artagnan stood firmly on his heels, but the opponent took a step back.When Bernarue retreated, his sword deflected. D'Artagnan seized the opportunity, raised the opponent's sword, and attacked quickly, stabbing Bernarue's shoulder.Immediately he drew back a step, and raised his sword, but Bernardou, crying out that it was nothing, made a blind rush, and struck himself on the point of d'Artagnan's sword.However, he didn't fall, so he didn't admit defeat, but retreated towards the La Tremoille mansion, because he had a relative who worked in that mansion.D'Artagnan didn't know how badly his opponent was wounded by the second sword, so he pressed on tightly. It seemed that he was going to stab the third sword, and the opponent died as a result.At this moment, the noise from the street reached the tennis-court, and two of Bernareau's friends heard him speak to d'Artagnan, and seeing him go out, drew their swords, and rushed out, just in time to meet him. To the Victory Chaser.But just as they were attacking d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis rushed forward, and forced the two guards to turn and meet them.At this moment, Bernardou fell, and the guards saw that they were two against four, and shouted: "La Trémoille mansion, come out and help us!"When the people in the mansion heard the shouts, they all ran out and rushed towards the four musketeers.These four also shouted: Musketeers, come and help us! Ordinarily people knew what was going on when they heard the cry, for everyone knew that the Musketeers were the cardinal's enemies, and liked them because they hated the cardinal.Several soldiers who did not belong to the Custodians under what Aramis called the Red Duke generally took the side of the king's musketeers in such fights.At this time, two of the three soldiers in Mr. Essar's team came to help the four companions of the Musketeers, and the other ran to Mr. Treville's mansion and shouted: Come to us, Musketeers, hurry up! Come help us!As usual, the musketeers were concentrated at M. de Treville's mansion, and they all came to the aid of their companions, and the result was a great melee, but the musketeers were on their side.The cardinal's guards and La Trémoille's men retreated into the mansion, closing the gates in time to prevent the enemy from rushing in after them.As for the injured one, he had already been carried in; as mentioned above, his injuries were very serious. The Musketeers and their allies were furious.Some people are already discussing whether it is necessary to set fire to the La Tremoye mansion to punish the servants of the mansion for their audacity to attack the musketeers who attacked the king.As soon as this proposal was put forward, it was enthusiastically supported.Fortunately, at this time the clock struck eleven o'clock, and D'Artagnan and his three companions remembered that they had to receive the king's summons.What a pity that they couldn't participate in such a vigorous operation.So after persuasion, they finally let everyone calm down.Everyone just picked up a few street stones and threw them at the gate. Of course, the gate couldn't be opened, and everyone was tired. Besides, some people who might be regarded as the leaders of the trouble had already left the scene and walked towards Mr. Treville's official residence.Treville had heard of the scuffle and was waiting for them. Hurry up to the Louvre, he said, hurry up, don't miss a second, we're going to see the king before the cardinal goes to tell the king, report to the king, make it yesterday's incident continuation, so that the two things come together. M. de Treville rushed to the Louvre with four young men, but to the great surprise of the captain of the Musketeers, word came from the palace that the king had gone hunting deer in the forest of Saint-Germain.Treville asked the squire to repeat the news twice; the four young men noticed that his face grew worse each time he said it. Your Majesty had this hunting plan yesterday?he asked. No sir.The attendant replied that it was the captain of the hunting team who came this morning to report that they had driven a deer over last night so that the saint could go hunting.The Holy Majesty refused to go at first, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the fun of hunting, so he moved away after breakfast. Has the king met the cardinal?Treville asked again. Very likely.The attendant replied, I saw the bishop's carriage was harnessed to the horses this morning, so I asked where I was going, and the answer I got was: to Saint-Germain. We let others take the lead.Mr. Treville said, gentlemen, I am going to see the king tonight, gentlemen, I don't think I should go rashly. It was a very wise opinion, especially when it came from a man who had tempted the king's temper, and the four young men could not refute it.Treville asked them to return to their respective lodgings and wait for news from him. Back at the house, M. de Treville considered that he should take the initiative and be the first to complain.He repaired a book and had a servant send it to M. de La Tremoille.The letter asked M. de la Tremoille to expel the cardinal's guard from the house, and to punish those of his men who had dared to attack the musketeers.However, M. de La Tremoille, who had received a report from his horse breeder, the relative we know of Bernardo, had sent for his reply: it should not be M. de Treville and his family who complained. The musketeers, on the contrary, should be him, because the musketeers of Treville not only beat his men, but tried to set fire to his mansion.The two nobles naturally held their own opinions and refused to give in to each other. If this continues, the dispute between them is bound to last for a long time.M. de Treville then conceived a solution aimed at a complete solution, and went to see M. de la Tremoille in person. He immediately rushed to the La Tremoille mansion and sent someone in to report. The two nobles saluted each other politely.Although there is no friendship between them, at least they respect each other.Both nobles are men of courage and reputation.La Tremoye is a Protestant, rarely sees the king, and does not belong to any party, so he generally does not hold prejudices in social interactions.This time, however, his reception, though polite and thoughtful, was colder than usual. Monsieur, said Treville, you and I think the other party is worthy of complaint, and I have come to the house myself to find out the truth with you. Very well, replied La Tremoye, but let me tell you in advance that I understand the situation very well, and it is entirely your musketeer's fault. You are just and reasonable, sir, said Treville, and I have a proposal that you will not reject. Speak, sir, and listen with all my ears. How is Bernardo, a relative of the horse breeder in the house, doing now? Very bad, sir.He'd had a blow to the arm, which was all right, and he'd also had a blow through the lung, which, according to the doctor, was very bad. Is the injured person still conscious? totally clear. Can you speak? Difficult, but still able to speak. Very good sir.Let's go see him.He may be called by God, and we ask him to tell the truth before God.I judge him in his own case, sir, and I must believe what he says. La Tremoye thought for a moment, but he couldn't come up with a more reasonable suggestion, so he accepted it. The two went downstairs to the injured man's room.Seeing the two distinguished masters coming to see him, the injured man wanted to sit up, but his body was too weak to get up. Instead, he was exhausted and fell on the bed again, almost losing consciousness. La Tremoye came to the bed and gave him the smelling salts to wake him up.M. de Treville, unwilling to be accused of exerting influence on the wounded, asked La Tremoille to interrogate him himself. As Treville expected, the half-dead Bernardo, not wanting to hide the truth for a moment, told the two gentlemen exactly what had happened. It was this that Treville hoped for.He wished Bernardo a speedy recovery, took leave of M. La Tremoille, returned to his residence, and at once sent word to his four friends that he was expecting them to dine. The few people Treville entertained were descendants of noble families, and they were all anti-cardinals.Therefore, it is conceivable that the discussion during the meeting cannot be separated from the two recent defeats of the cardinal's guards.And these two days it was d'Artagnan who played the leading role, so everyone congratulated him, and Athos, Porthos, and Aramis also gave him the honor.The three of them are not only honest partners, but also receive such honors frequently, so feel free to leave it to D'Artagnan alone. About six o'clock, Treville said that he must go to the Louvre.However, the time for King Eun-joon's summons had passed, so instead of asking to enter the palace from the small staircase, he waited in the antechamber with the four young men.The king has not returned from hunting.The four young men were mixed among the courtiers and waited for nearly half an hour. Suddenly, the palace gates opened, and the emperor was notified to come back. Hearing this announcement, D'Artagnan felt his whole body tremble.This coming moment is likely to determine his future life.So he fixed his eyes restlessly on the door through which the King was about to enter. Louis XIII appeared, the one who walked in the front, dressed in a hunting suit, dusty, wearing high boots, and carrying a riding whip in his hand.D'Artagnan saw at a glance that the king was in a fit of anger. Although the king was obviously in a bad mood, a group of courtiers had to line up in his path.It was better to be glared at by him in the vestibule of the palace than not to be seen at all.The three musketeers stepped forward without hesitation, while d'Artagnan hid behind them.The king knew Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, but he walked past them without looking at them or speaking to them, as if they were strangers.As for M. de Treville, when the king's eyes rested on him for a moment, he met them so firmly that the king was compelled to look away.Then, the Holy Majesty entered his room muttering. Things are not good, said Athos with a smile, and we will not be knighted this time. You wait here for ten minutes.Mr. Treville said, if you don't see me out in ten minutes, go back to my residence, because it will be useless to wait any longer. The four young men waited for ten minutes, quarter of an hour, and twenty minutes. They did not see M. de Treville come out, so they left the palace, feeling agitated and wondering what was going to happen. M. de Treville ventured into the royal study, and found the Saint in a bad mood, sitting in an armchair, beating his boots with the handle of his whip.Still, Treville bit the bullet and asked if the host was well. Very bad, sir, very bad, replied the king, and I am sick of it. In fact, this is the most serious problem of Louis XIII.He often took the arm of a courtier, pulled him to the window and said: Mr. So-and-so, let's experience troubles together. how!His Majesty is troubled!Treville said, didn't His Majesty enjoy hunting today? Great fun, sir!To tell you the truth, everything was terrible, whether it was the wild animals leaving no trace, or the dog's nose was not working.We chased a deer with ten prongs and chased it for six hours, and it seemed that we were about to capture it. St. Simon had put the horn in his mouth, and when he was about to blow the horn to call everyone around, there was a whoosh, and all the dogs suddenly Changed direction and went after a fawn desperately.You see, some day I will have to give up hunting as I have given up hunting birds of prey.well!The widow is a very unfortunate king, Monsieur de Treville!I have only one northern falcon left, which also died the day before yesterday. Indeed, Your Majesty, I understand your disappointment.It was very unpleasant indeed, but as far as I know there seem to be many kites and falcons and eagles left. No one came to train them, all the falconers had gone, and I was the only one who knew how to hunt dogs.After I'm dead, there's nothing to say. In the future, hunting will only be done with traps, traps, and snares.If only I still had time to train students now!There is time, but the cardinal keeps haunting me and disturbs me for a moment, talking to me about Spain, and about Austria, and about England!well!When the cardinal is mentioned, Monsieur de Treville, I am angry with you. I don't know what the minister got into trouble and made His Majesty unhappy?Treville asked with a look of astonishment. Is that what you do, sir?The king did not answer Treville's question directly, but asked, is that why I appointed you captain of the Musketeers?Your team kills a guy, sets the neighborhood on fire and even tries to set Paris on fire, but you don't say a word!But then again, continued the King, perhaps I have been too hasty in saying this, the perpetrator must have been arrested, and you have come to report to me that everything has been done fairly. On the contrary, Your Majesty, said Treville calmly, I have come to ask Your Majesty to do justice. deal with who?asked the king sharply. Deal with slanderers. ah!This is quite new.Say the king, You will not say that your three accursed musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, and your Béarn boy, did not fall madly on poor Bernarue, and torture He, so that he is dying right now!You probably wouldn't say that they didn't besiege the Duke of La Tremoille's mansion afterwards, and didn't try to burn it down!In times of war, this may not have been considered a major disaster, but now is a time of peace and prosperity, and to do so is to set a bad precedent.Come on, you can't deny all this, can you? Who made up this beautiful story to His Majesty?Treville asked calmly. Who made up this sweet story for me, sir!Who else do you think but the man who sleeps when I sleep and who stays up all night when I am happy and who does what he does, who does everything at home and abroad, France and Europe? Could it be that His Majesty is talking about God?Treville said, because I know that only God is higher than His Majesty, and so capable. No, sir, I mean the pillar of the country, my only servant, my only friend, Mr. Cardinal. Your Majesty, His Excellency the Cardinal is not His Majesty the Pope. How do you say that, sir? Only the Pope has the words of wisdom; and the words of the cardinals are not the same. You mean he cheated on me, he betrayed me.You are suing him.Well, come on, and you can confess frankly that you are accusing him. I don't mean that, my lord, I just mean that he was mistaken, that he knew the situation incorrectly, that he was too hasty to accuse your majesty's Musketeers, that he treated them unfairly, that he The source of information is not reliable. The indictment was brought by M. de La Tremoille, by the duke himself.What else do you have to say? I have something to say, my lord: the duke's personal interest in this matter is too great to be a fair witness; besides, my lord, I know the duke is a man of integrity. My gentleman, I can accept his testimony, but on one condition, my lord. What conditions? It is His Majesty who summoned him into the palace for questioning, but please ask His Majesty to ask him alone without the presence of others.After His Majesty finished questioning the Duke, I will come in to see His Majesty again immediately. All right!said the king, do you accept what M. de la Tremoille said? Yes, Your Majesty. You accept his judgment? good. He asked for an apology, and you obeyed? fully accepted. La Chance!cried the King, La Chesnai! This confidant of Louis XIII always stood outside the door, and hurried in when he heard the greeting. La Chesnay, said the king, sent M. de La Tremoille at once to the court, with whom I shall speak this evening. Has your majesty agreed not to see anyone after La Tremoye's audience and until I come again? On the credit of a gentleman, no one is interviewed. See you tomorrow then, Your Majesty. See you tomorrow, sir. What time does His Majesty want tomorrow? Come any time you like. But it's too early, I'm afraid of disturbing His Majesty's sleep. To disturb my sleep?can i sleepI can't sleep any more, sir, I just dream sometimes, that's all.So please come as early as possible, like seven o'clock.However, if your musketeers are to blame, just be careful! If my musketeers are guilty, let your Majesty deal with it, and punish him as you like.Does Your Majesty have any other orders?Please make it clear that the minister obeys orders. No, sir, no.There is always a reason why the world calls me the just Louis.See you tomorrow, sir, see you tomorrow. Long live Your Majesty, long live! The king could not sleep, and Treville did not close his eyes all night.He gave notice that night to the Three Musketeers and their companion to come to his mansion at half-past six after daylight.He led them into the palace, but told them nothing, promised them nothing, but made no effort to conceal from them that their favor, even his own, depended entirely on this trip, desperately. Reaching the foot of the little staircase, he told four young men to wait.If the Holy Spirit is still angry, they will leave quietly without asking for an audience; if the Holy Spirit allows them to be interviewed, he will just ask someone to call them in. Treville entered the antechamber of the king's chamber and met La Chestner.The latter told him that La Tremoye had not been found at his house last night when he returned home and had just rushed to the Louvre, where he was being questioned by the king. In this situation, Treville was wishing for it.In this way, between La Tremoye and his testimony, there must be no one else to slander. Sure enough, about ten minutes later, the door of the royal study opened, and Treville saw the Duke of La Tremoye coming out of it.The duke came up to him and said: Monsieur de Treville, my Majesty sent me to the palace to find out the circumstances of what happened in the dormitory yesterday morning.I have reported the truth to the Holy One, that is to say, it was my servant who was at fault, and I am going to make amends to you.Now that I have met you here, please accept my apology and please continue to regard me as your friend. Monsieur duke, said Treville, I have always admired your integrity.Therefore, it does not occur to me to ask anyone to defend me before the Holy One except yourself.Looks like I'm not mistaken.I must also thank you, because in France there is such a gentleman that people can praise him just as I have just praised you, and they can't be wrong. Well said, well said!The King heard these compliments at the door, and said, "But, Treville, tell him that since he claims to be your friend, I would like to be his, but he has alienated me, and I haven't seen him for three years." Saw him until this time sending for him.Tell him these words for me, for such things are not good for a king himself. Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you.The duke said, but please be aware, Your Majesty, that the people your Majesty usually sees, and I do not mean Mr. Treville, the people your Majesty usually sees, are not the most loyal to your Majesty. ha!You heard me, duke, it's better this way, it's better this way.The king came to the door and said, Ah!You are here, Treville!Where are your musketeers?I asked you to bring them to see me the day before yesterday, why didn't you bring them? They're all downstairs, Your Majesty.If Your Majesty will allow, I will ask La Chesnay to call them up. All right, all right, tell them to come up at once.It's almost eight o'clock, and I have to accept an audience at nine o'clock.Well, Mr. Duke, be sure to come often.Come in, Treville. The duke bowed and withdrew.He opened the door, and saw Lachesnay leading the three musketeers and d'Artagnan up the stairs. Come, my brave men, come, said the King, and I will discipline you. The three musketeers went up and bowed before the king, and d'Artagnan followed. You ghosts, the king said, what happened, four people reimbursed the seven guards of His Excellency the Cardinal within two days!Too much, gentlemen, too much.At this rate, after three weeks, His Excellency the Cardinal will be obliged to recruit his guards again, and I, too, will be obliged to order strict enforcement of the law.I won’t say a word if he was reimbursed once by chance, but if he was reimbursed seven in two days, I’ll say it again, it’s too much, it’s really too much. Because of this, Your Majesty, you must have noticed that they were all very sad and remorseful and came to ask the Holy Majesty to apologize. 十分痛心，十分懊悔！國王說道，哼！我才不相信他們這副假惺惺的樣子呢，尤其他們之中有一張加斯科尼人面孔。請這兒來，先生。 達德尼昂明白這是表揚他，便裝出一副非常愧疚的樣子，走到國王身邊。 aha!您怎麼對我說這是個小伙子？這還是個孩子嘛，特雷維爾先生，地地道道的一個孩子！叫朱薩克結結實實吃了一劍的，可就是他？ 還有貝納如挨的那出色的兩劍。 Good for you! 還不止這些呢，阿托斯插嘴說，要不是他從比斯卡拉手裡搭救了我，這會兒我肯定沒有福分來恭恭敬敬向陛下鞠躬了。 這個貝亞恩小子，莫非真是一個惡魔，一個精怪，特雷維爾先生，就像先王吾父所說的那樣？練這個行當，不知要戳破多少緊身衣，劈斷多少劍呢！可是，加斯科尼人偏偏一直很窮，不是嗎？ 陛下，我只能說，他們還沒有找到他們那些山裡的金礦，儘管上帝想必恩賜了這種奇蹟，以報償他們擁護先王的宏圖大業的方式。 這就是說，正是多虧了加斯科尼人，我本人才當上國王的，不是嗎，特雷維爾，因為我是先王吾父之子？是嗎，好極了，我不否認。拉謝斯奈，去翻遍我所有的口袋，看能不能翻出四十比斯托爾，找到了就拿來給我。現在，年輕人，老老實實來講一講事情發生的經過吧。 達德尼昂把先天的遭遇詳詳細細講了一遍：他怎樣因為就要見到聖上而興奮得通宵睡不著覺，怎樣在覲見前三小時到了他的朋友們的住處，他們怎樣一快兒到了網球場，他又怎樣表現出害怕球打在臉上，貝納如怎樣嘲笑他，而貝納如的嘲笑差點使他自己喪了命，拉特雷穆耶先生本來與這件事毫無干係，又怎樣差點連公館也被燒掉了。 果真如此。國王自言自語道，對呀，和公爵剛才對我講的情形一樣。可憐的紅衣主教，兩天損失了七個人，而且全是他最寵愛的。不過，這就夠了，先生們，可聽明白了！夠了，你們已經報了費魯街之仇，甚至超過了，該滿意了。 陛下滿意，我們也就滿意了。特雷維爾說道。 是的，我感到滿意。國王說著，從拉謝斯奈手裡抓了一把金幣，放到達德尼昂手裡，補充說，這就是我滿意的證據。 在那個時代，現在流行的自尊觀念還不時興。一位紳士親手接受國王的賞錢，根本不算有失體面。達德尼昂把四十比斯托爾放進口袋，不僅毫不做作，反而大大方方地向國王鞠一躬表示感謝。 啊，國王望一眼掛鐘說道，啊，現在八點半了，你們退下吧。我對你們說過，我九點鐘還要接受朝見。先生們，感謝你們的忠誠。你們的忠誠是靠得住的，不是嗎？ ah!陛下，四位夥伴異口同聲地大聲說道，為了陛下，我們就是粉身碎骨也在所不辭。 好，好，不過還是保全自己吧，那樣更好，對我也更有用。特雷維爾，當其他人退出時，國王低聲說道，您的火槍隊裡已經沒有位置，而且我們曾經決定，必須經過一段時間見習，才能進火槍隊，把這個年輕人放到您妹夫埃薩爾先生那一隊禁軍裡去吧。Hey!說真的，特雷維爾，一想到紅衣主教就要氣歪臉，我就美滋滋的。他肯定會氣急敗壞，我才不管他呢，朕行使朕的權利！ 國王向特雷維爾揮揮手，特雷維爾退出來，趕上他的三個火槍手，看見他們正與達德尼昂在分那四十比斯托爾呢。 正如國王所說的那樣，紅衣主教果然氣急敗壞，一週不來和國王打牌，儘管這樣，國王對他卻異常地和顏悅色，每次遇到他總以關懷備至的口氣問道： 喂，紅衣主教先生，您手下的貝納如和朱薩克那兩個可憐的人怎樣了？
