Chapter 0795 Prime Minister Magic Mountain: Whoever dares to fight in the civil war, eradicate them all!
The new king, Gendry Baratheon, sat in the center of the table of the Imperial Ministers.
He put his hands on the table, feeling inappropriate, and put them under the table, but felt even more inappropriate. He hesitated and moved his right hand to the table, clenching it into a fist, which made him feel a little more settled. He glanced at the Magic Mountain, then at Janie, and then at the Archbishop, and he realized that he seemed to be looking at something wrong.
Gendry Clegane lacks strength and confidence. In front of these people in the Magic Mountain, he lacks self-confidence.
The blacksmith profession and the status of an illegitimate child brought him a deep-rooted inferiority complex since he was a child, which was fine in front of others, but not at all in front of civilians and soldiers, but in the palace, in front of the aggressive gaze of these imperial ministers, the inferiority complex was like a bubble in the clear water, which automatically emerged from the deepest part of his heart.
"Your Majesty, the situation is special, your coronation and celebration cannot be carried out immediately, we need to deal with the most important government affairs of the moment first. ”
“...... Father, uh, I agree with you...... Let's take care of the most important matters......"
Jenny Westerling took out the crown she had prepared, and she handed it to the Archbishop. The Archbishop took it, sang a few hymns, and placed the crown on the top of Gendry's head: "Your Majesty, the official coronation and celebration will take place in the Great Chapel of Baylor, please give me three days to prepare." ”
“...... Yes, Your Excellency the Archbishop...... I'll give you three days to prepare ......"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!" said Littlefinger, smiling narrowly, "the most important government of the kingdom at present is to nominate a prime minister to help His Majesty handle the affairs of the whole country. The Hand of the King is the most important and important minister of His Majesty. ”
"Your Majesty, I agree with the proposal of Lord Petyr Berish, that the first and most important task of the kingdom should be the appointment of a new prime minister. I nominate Lord Duke Gregor Clegane. "In terms of merit, the people and nobles of Westeros owe a life to Lord Magic Mountain, he led the coalition army north, personally killed the Night King, wiped out the army of strangers, and saved all of our lives." This is the first time in 8,000 years of history, and it is as unprecedented as the miracle performed by the messenger of light, Azor Ahai, 8,000 years ago. ”
The archbishop and the royal ministers nodded frequently, and none of them objected.
"Your Majesty, no one in the Seven Kingdoms can do more than Lord Gregor Cregan. In terms of political affairs, the negotiations between Lord Gregor and Daenerys were also miraculously successful, and we forced Daenerys' army of 200,000 to retire without losing a single man, compensated us with 50,000 war horses, and gave us a white dragon. Speaking of which, as a dragon knight of the new kingdom, His Majesty the King should also consider how to reward her. ”
Littlefinger smiled and said, "Master Guoshi, let His Majesty the King appoint a new Prime Minister first, and then we will discuss Prince Arrene Martell's reward." Littlefinger cut Cobain's nagging words to his part.
Littlefinger doesn't want to listen to the old man Cobain's ramblings!
Then, Littlefinger raised his hand: "I propose Lord Gregor Cregan the Hand of the King." ”
Bernie, Wagner, Cobain, and Rover raised their hands together.
Five votes!
The big picture is decided!
The Archbishop also raised his hand, which was an important gesture. The archbishop represented the divine right, and he surpassed the king in the hearts of his people and nobles.
The Captain of the Kingsguard, Baron Swain, raised his hand, Lady Jenny, and Gendry Baratheon I raised his hand.
The Magic Mountain was the Hand of the King, and it was unanimously passed, including the vote of His Majesty the King himself.
There was a round of applause in the conference hall!
When Gendry sat in the king's seat, there was no such applause. The courtiers did not have genuine respect or convincing respect for Gendry Baratheon. Gendry just deserves to sit on the Iron Throne, while Magic Mountain becomes Prime Minister with real military merit and political ability.
Gendry Baratheon I said, "Father, what do you think the kingdom should reward Prince Alyne Martel for her reward?"
"Arrene Martell is Prince of Dorne, a vassal of His Majesty, and she is not short of money, nor of status, nor of power. Littlefinger said, "All the positions of the royal ministers in the palace have the most suitable people, the commanders of legal affairs, finance, military affairs, maritime affairs, intelligence, national teachers, and garrisons, ......."
"Lord Petyr, Prince Alyn Martel needs glory, and His Majesty needs only reward her with glory. The Great Power Teacher Keben said slowly.
"Glory?!" Gendry didn't know how to reward glory to Prince Arrene Martell, and he looked at the Magic Mountain for help.
"Your Majesty, you only need to praise and praise Prince Arrene Martell in front of the courtiers and generals in the throne hall. ”
"Bestow a title on Prince Arlene, Your Majesty. Lady Jenny said lightly.
"Mother, what's your name?"
Gendry was illiterate, so he couldn't think of a name.
"I can't think of a name. ”
"The White Dragon Knight is unparalleled in the country. The Magic Mountain said, "Your Majesty will confer upon Prince Aliane the title of Knight of the Peerless Dragon." ”
"Good name, you can also ask a craftsman to cast a glorious jade token, engraved with the name of Prince Araine Martell on it, and the white dragon knight engraved below, which is unparalleled in the country. The back and front are carved with reliefs of the white dragon. The Great Power Teacher Koben said.
"The time to carve a dragon relief on a jade plaque is not short. Littlefinger Petyr Berish laughed, "Your Majesty may first give the name verbally, and the matter of carving the jade token will be handed over to the Prime Minister to complete and promulgate." ”
Gendry looked at the Magic Mountain: "Father, what do you see?"
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to carve a jade glory order and reward it to Prince Aleen Martell. "Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, the matter of Prince Arrene Martell should not be discussed anymore, let us move on to the next government affairs, the treason of former Prime Minister Mace Tyrrell, what do you think, do you need the Minister of Justice to set up a trial court for a public trial?"
"What do you mean, Prime Minister?" said Baron Swain, the captain of the Kingsguard.
"The evidence is conclusive, the letter is physical evidence, Varys is a human witness, I don't think there is a need for a retrial, the king can directly sentence the punishment. ”
"How should Master Mace Tyrell be punished?" asked Gendry. He knew nothing about the provisions of these laws.
"According to the law, Lord Mace Tyrell should be sentenced to be hanged. Lady Jenny said lightly.
"Ma'am, Lord Mace has supported the fight against the Stranger. Magic Mountain said.
"The work cannot be overdone. "Lady Jenny is selfless," Mace is the prime minister, and the Wraiths regard all the races of the Seven Kingdoms as enemies, and anyone should do their best to support the fight against the Wraiths, and those who refuse to support them should be sentenced to be hanged. Lord Mace supported the food and military supplies of the Northbound Coalition Army, which was what he should do, and it was not a great achievement. But as the prime minister, he was ready to open the city gates and surrender to the enemy in order to save his own life, and this treason must not be forgiven. ”
"Well, I agree with my mother's verdict, and I'm going to sentence Mace Tyrell to be hanged. Gendry was overwhelmed by Jenny's words. He was an upright boy with a heart full of righteousness. Lord Mace's merits are deserved, and they belong to their duties, but as the prime minister, he betrayed the country, which is too much and his sin is unforgivable.
"Your Majesty, Earl Redwin, Earl Cenford, Earl Caswell, Baron Fossowe, and Garland Tyrell, the Kingsguard, all of whom have participated in the Prime Minister's treasonous actions. Once Daenerys' legion reaches the city, these are the people who open the gates. Garland Tyrell will lead the knights of House Tyrell to take control of the Maggaret Drawbridge, and the puppet queen Margaery Tyrell will be involved in the traitorous planning and battle plan after the destruction of the city. Bernie Clegane, the little intelligence secretary, stood up and said.
"Master Bernie, do you have proof?" Baron Sven's face turned grim at once. He heard the name of Garland Tyrrell, the Kingsguard, his white-robed brother.
"The evidence is conclusive, Sir Baron. ”
"What evidence?"
"There are witnesses, there are physical evidence. "I will give this evidence to the Minister of Justice, Mrs. Jane Westerling." ”
Littlefinger smiled and said: "Sir Baron, Prime Minister Metz is going to open the city gate to welcome Daenerys's army into the city, he will definitely arrange the actions of his generals, who is responsible for killing the soldiers at the city gate, who is responsible for opening the city gate, who is responsible for taking the Red Keep, who is responsible for controlling the courtiers and royal family members of Megarlou, this is a secret plan, you will not be stupid enough to think that Lord Mace will not have any battle plan after the opening of the city." If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the Demon Mountain and the control of the situation, once Daenerys' army attacked the city gates, I think the first person Garland Tyrell would have killed would have been. ”
"Why?" said Baron Swain, staring at the smiling little finger with a grim face.
"Because your presence is the greatest threat to them. Once the city is broken, will you fight to the end?"
"Definitely. ”
"That's it, kill you first, and the guards and garrisons of King's Landing will suffer the heaviest blow, and the soldiers will be in disarray, uncommanded, and scattered. ”
Baron Swain said coldly, "Garland Tyrell will not break his oath. ”
"Prime Minister Metz can betray his country, and Garland Tyrell will not break his oath, will he kill his father and sister with a sword? Littlefinger scoffed.
Baron Swain's face flushed: "............" He glared at Littlefinger, who smiled even more happily.
Gendry was disgusted by Littlefinger's words, but he thought Littlefinger was right.
"Mother's ......"
"Don't call me that at the Imperial Council, Your Majesty. Jenny said solemnly, "Call me Lady Jenny, or call me my official title." ”
“...... Yes, Lady Jeanne...... Those who participated in Lord Mace's treason plan should not be punished as treason? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
"Should they all be hanged?"
"According to the law, all are punishable by hanging. ”
"Your Majesty. Baron Swain stood up, "If Earl Redwin, Earl Zenford, Earl Caswell, Baron Versoway, Garland Tyrell, and Margaery Tyrell are sentenced to hanging, the entire Riverlands will rise up against us, and civil war will break out again in the kingdom." ”
"Whoever dares to provoke a civil war will eradicate them all!" said Moshan slowly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into a strange silence.
Baron Swain sat down, his throat squirming up and down, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Littlefinger's chuckle broke the suffocating silence: "Your Majesty, vote." Anyone who participated in Lord Mace's treasonous plan, whoever it was, was to be hanged. Little Finger raised his hand.
"I propose that Lord Mace be hanged, and that the rest be spared, so as not to provoke a rebellion among the people of the Riverbend. Baron Swaine raised his hand.
The two raised their hands, two different opinions.
Gendry looked at Jenny, "...... Mother's ...... Lady Jeanne...... According to the Law......"
"Your Majesty, according to the law, treason is punishable by hanging. ”
"I am in favor of being hanged!" said Moshan, "Your Majesty is on the throne for the first time, and you need to stand up for authority, and even more so, you need to uphold the absolute dignity of the law. My vote is for the proposal of Lord Petyr. ”
"I approve of Sir Baron Swain. The archbishop slowly raised his hand. His vote was heavyweight, but he only had one vote.
Votes are two to two!
Jenny raised her hand: "I vote for the law of the country and sentence all traitors to be hanged." ”
Three to two!
"I approve of Sir Baron's proposal to sentence Lord Mace to be hanged, to spare the others, and not to go to civil war. Rover Spicer raised his hand, "I vote for Sir Baron's proposal." "Rover is undoubtedly a damn fellow. His brain was as cumbersome as his heavy axe.
Three to three!
All eyes were on Wagner, Bernie, and Cobain.
Wagner raised his hand: "All hanging!"
The proposal to sentence him to be hanged was one vote ahead.
Bernie also raised his hand: "All hanged!"
Five to three!
But there are still two votes!
And, the king has a veto, unless he is not sitting here.
“...... Uh, Lady Jenny, Lord Magic Mountain, I don't want to have a civil war anymore, I've been through it...... With my friend Miss Arya Stark...... Too many innocent people will die in a civil war...... I endorse Baron Swain's proposal. Gendry Clegane stammered, and he raised his hand.
Five to four!
There is still one vote, but it is no longer important, the king has one veto.
Everyone's eyes were on Gendry's body, and Gendry's eyes were on the body of the great power teacher Koben, his heart was hanging, he didn't know who Koben would approve of.
Coben read Gendry's gaze, he looked at the magic mountain, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, I abstain. ”
Baron Swain smiled.
Little Finger's face changed, his eyes changed, and the smile on his face disappeared completely.
Gendry Clegane lowered his hand and looked at Janie: "Lady Jeanne, Master Coben abstained, five to four, Master Petyr's proposal has won, and I declare that everyone involved in Mace's treasonous plan will be hanged." Gendry noticed the strange stares of the crowd, and his heart welled up, he didn't know that he was starting a new history: "Lord Magic Mountain, Ilyn Pine has fled with Jaime, and we need to assign a new magistrate. ”
"Then arrange for someone from the House of Alyne Martell to come to King's Landing Red Keep as a magistrate. ”
"Okay, I agree!"
The smile on Baron Swain's face stiffened, and he knew that there was another war: civil war!
The archbishop had a strange eye, but he remained silent.
