Game of Thrones: Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 661: heir of valyria

The former Prime Minister Expedition Dorne left King's Landing, and the Minister of Justice Oberyn stood up as the head of the ministers and made a proposal, which naturally caused many unknowing nobles present to look at each other in blank dismay.

The concept of the Seven Kingdoms is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After all, this set of political systems has been maintained for three hundred years, spanning more than a dozen generations.

As a conqueror, Aegon I conquered the six kingdoms of Westeros by relying on three dragons, and Dorne, the seventh country, was also incorporated into the Iron Throne system in a subsequent marriage.

Therefore, people are familiar with the concept of the Seven Kingdoms, and know that the Iron Throne now symbolizes royal power. However, after the war of conquest, Aegon did not completely erase the shadow of the former Seven Kingdoms, and even coexisted with the former Seven Kingdoms nobles.

If you put yourself in the situation back then and put yourself in the situation Aegon faced, you might be able to understand the decision made by this conqueror.

Because no one before him unified the whole of Westeros and unified the Seven Kingdoms, the concept of the Seven Kingdoms needing to be unified did not take root.

The people of the Reach Kingdom are hostile to the Casterly Rock Kingdom, the Storm Kingdom is hostile to the Reach Kingdom, and the King of the North sits in Winterfell overlooking the world. The people of all countries are the people of all countries, and there is no unified concept.

What Aegon the Conqueror is facing is a process of creating something from nothing, and this process takes time to settle.

If he wanted to unify the Seven Kingdoms and stabilize his own country, he might have to make such a choice and reach a compromise with the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms.

The king and the nobles ruled the country together in exchange for the cooperation and submission of the former nobles of the Seven Kingdoms to the new kingship.

Otherwise, if Aegon's character is very strong, and "I have a country" rather than bend it, then the situation he faces will become very complicated. In a short period of time, he will rely on violence to stabilize the country, but there will inevitably be wars and rebellions everywhere in the future.

The situation that Viserys is now facing is different from that of Aegon, because with Aegon's previous unity, the concept of the unification of the Seven Kingdoms has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Even ordinary people know the benefits of reunification, eliminating wars and uniting more people, making the country peaceful and living and working in peace and contentment.

With Aegon at the forefront, the people and nobles of Westeros now regard unity as a necessary condition.

Because of this, when Viserys occupied the Reach and King's Landing, he was surrounded by the remnants of the surrounding Baratheon Dynasty. Although the two sides tacitly agreed to a temporary truce, they never mentioned a truce.

Because it is impossible for the two sides to split in terms of brain thinking and concepts, one must annex the other.

Either Viserys will kill them, or they will kill Viserys.

Of course, if Viserys, like Aegon, had chosen to compromise at that time and put down the knife that was slashing at the power of the nobility, perhaps the unification of the country would be completed in an instant.

But that would be a reincarnation, re-enacting the path Aegon walked.

Viserys did not make such a choice, but chose to fight the old nobles to the end.

Inch by inch of land, they smashed their backbones bit by bit, completely kneeling on the ground and begging for their lives, or simply like the Hightower family, they didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy, and they were completely wiped out from this world.

So it wasn't that Aegon was short-witted, but that Viserys was far more mature than him.

And at this moment, Oberyn's sudden proposal was actually something that the Imperial Council had already discussed.

This matter had been discussed before Jon Connington left King's Landing a few months ago. Some of them are capable people with extremely broad-minded and active thinking.

Viserys's imperial council, including the governors of various places, can be said to be all talents.

The backbone of the traditional aristocracy was broken, the power of the traditional aristocracy was weakened, and the kingship was consolidated. The next step was to weaken the concept of the Seven Kingdoms and consolidate the concept of the whole country.

The person who first proposed this idea was the Minister of Intelligence Varys. He insisted that the concept of "Seven Kingdoms" should not be used in official documents, including nouns.

Instead, it was replaced with "King of Westeros", etc., emphasizing a unified vocabulary.

However, Varys' initial point of view has not been generally accepted. The main reason is the change of thinking and habits. It sometimes takes a generation to change a habit.

But now hearing Oberyn's proposal, the nobles of King's Landing, wealthy merchants, and representatives from all walks of life in the Throne Hall below all looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"Country number?"

"What should our country name be called?"

"It used to be called the Iron Throne, wasn't it?"

People with low levels of education couldn't help asking questions, but they were immediately explained by the people around them.

"It's like the 'Kingdom of the North' and 'Kingdom of the Valley' before the unification of the Seven Kingdoms."

Some people opened their mouths to explain, some suddenly realized, and some thought they had a lot of knowledge, and wanted to show off their talents at this time, thought hard for a moment, and then proposed.

"We can be called the Kingdom of Westeros!"

"The land under our feet is called Westeros, and this is our hometown..."

Before he could finish his words, however, he encountered opposition.

"Have you forgotten Andalos, where His Majesty started, and Pentos overseas?"

"It's also the country's territory!"

"I propose that we should be called the United Kingdom of Westeros, Andalus, and Pentos."

Another person suggested, but was immediately ridiculed by the person just now.

"It's too long, your name is longer than my grandmother's turban!"

There was a lot of noise in the throne room below, Viserys sitting on the Iron Throne tapped his finger on the cold armrest but did not speak, and the most important ministers of the imperial council also remained silent.

Because such an important issue will naturally not be discussed in a hodgepodge like the Throne Hall~lightnovelpub.net~ In fact, the Imperial Council has already discussed a result, and the Throne Hall is just a formality.

"Valyria!"

Afterwards, the Minister of Justice Oberyn, who was still the first to propose this idea, spoke.

As soon as he opened his mouth, all the noisy voices in the throne room disappeared. Although Oberyn was not very popular like Ramsay, Oberyn's power on the surface was still very strong, and no one dared to offend this hand-held man. Minister of Justice of Military Power.

"Valyria is the greatest nation since men learned to remember."

"And the Targaryen family originated from Valyria, and they are the most powerful heirs to the Freehold."

"Therefore I suggest that Your Majesty raise the claim to the ancient empire and rebuild Valyria!"
