Chapter 0790: Throne: The Magic Mountain Turns into a Cloud
The Iron Guard of the Imperial Forest, never marrying, not marrying, not fiefdoming, not accumulating wealth, and not having any entanglement with the interests of the family, except for allegiance to the king, there is no other choice.
Garland Tyrell, as a Kingsguard, will no longer participate in any action outside of the royal throne after he has the title of Knight of the highest honor.
According to the oath, his people and soul already belong to the emperor's family.
With his father Mace captured and his sister Margaery in custody, Garland Tyrell remains a white-robed guard, and as long as he has not committed a crime, only the king has the right to strip him of his powers.
Like the Night's Watch, an Iron Guard has been legally cut off from all ties with family and friends. The rise and fall of the family and the life and death of the family have nothing to do with an iron guard. His sword and his man can only belong to the king and members of the royal family to whom he swore allegiance.
It's kind of funny, though, because this time, none of the royal family members are gone.
All members of the Kingsguard have been informed of the upheaval at the Red Keep - Queen Cersei has been controlled, King Tomman I has fled to Braavos, Princess Messira has absconded with the captain of the Kingsguard, Jaime, including a royal magistrate, Irin Pyne, and a lady-in-waiting, Connie, Queen Margaery has become a pseudo-queen, and in order to temporarily block the news, Margaery is in custody, and her status as queen is no longer honorable, but disgraceful.
No one knows how Yong Garland Tyrell felt in the face of the upheaval, and he and his Iron Guard brothers stood in a row in a row and continued to uphold the authority of the Iron Throne.
On the Iron Throne, many kings have come and gone, the puppet king is gone, the new king will take the throne, and the Kingsguard will swear allegiance to the next king.
Except for the Kingsguard and the relevant important ministers, the courtiers and generals did not know that the great change in the royal family had taken place. They were simply ordered to come to the throne hall for an emergency meeting.
*
In the throne hall crowded with courtiers and generals, nobles, knights, noblewomen, and ladies finally slowly noticed that there was something unusual coming from today's throne hall, that is, they never saw Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Mace.
When the king is absent, the Prime Minister sits on the Iron Throne instead of the King, but because the King is still young, the Queen Mother Cersei becomes the regent, handling the affairs of the country in place of the king, so it has become the norm for King Tomman to be absent from the throne hall, and when the Queen Mother Cersei is not there, the Prime Minister should sit on the Iron Throne to exercise power instead of the King and the Queen Mother.
Usually, one of the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister must attend the meeting, and a slightly more important meeting will definitely be the Queen Mother Cersei and Prime Minister Mace appearing together, but today - the King, the Queen Mother, and the Prime Minister are absent together, this scene has never been seen before.
Emergency meeting, unexpectedly absent from these three most powerful people!
This made the atmosphere in the throne hall unusual.
When the king, the queen mother (regent), and the prime minister were all absent, according to the law, the royal ministers formed a council to exercise power in place of the royal power, run military affairs, and deal with the affairs of the kingdom.
The great throne hall was packed, and the high Iron Throne was empty.
At the right hand seat under the seven steps of the Iron Throne, a long table and several chairs were placed, and the imperial ministers sat on the chairs with unkind faces. Among them, the Minister of War, the Demon Mountain, was tall and burly, like a beast in human skin.
Some of the sensitive courtiers and generals in the throne hall felt uneasy in their hearts. The ladies and ladies were whispering quietly.
Outside the Red Keep, in the sky, the Sheep Thief and Viserys were circling and flying, making soft noises from time to time.
Magic Mountain stood up, and the whispers of the audience immediately fell silent.
The generals from the Riverlands, the Stormlands, the Kinglands, the West, the Crab Claw Peninsula, the Riverlands, the Valleys, the Iron Islands, and the former Golden Regiment were all stared at the Magic Mountain.
Among these people were Jon Clinton, the secretary of the Magic Mountain, and Dario Naharris, the general from Daenerys, who stood behind the Magic Mountain and Lady Jane with the generals who guarded Lady Jenny.
In addition to generals such as Brienne of Tars and Zeligerda the Bull, the Clegane forces were the blacksmith Sir Gendry Clegane, who wore a long sword, chain mail, a helmet with horns, and a hammer on his back, and Tob Mott, the master of weapons, who was also heavily armed, with a long sword and a short knife hanging from the belt.
In addition, there was a large group of generals from the Crab Claw Peninsula, all admirals and captains of warships, and General Rover Spaser, Jeanne's uncle, who had taken the lead in the naval battle, and several knights of the Westerling family huddled in the other crowd......
The Magic Mountain spoke, his voice like a low thunder rolling in the thick clouds: "Ladies and gentlemen, knights, ladies, ladies, I have something very important to announce, and this is related to the future of our kingdom. ”
The magic mountain's gaze swept across the audience, and the fierce anger was overflowing: "The first big thing, Prime Minister Mace Tyrell, colluded with the little devil before the war to surrender and betray the country to Daenerys. He was prepared to respond to the enemy's attack. ”
Rumble!
The aristocrats, nobles, and ladies all changed their color. Soon, the curse was loud and loud.
The generals of the riverbends looked at each other, and all of them looked terrified.
Earl Redwin, the commander of the Navy in Riverlands, was shocked to find that in front of and behind his captains stood captains from the Crab Claw Peninsula, the Royal Navy fleet, and the Iron Islands. He turned his head, and Rover Spicer didn't know when he was standing behind him.
Earl Redwin had a trade cooperation with Magic Mountain, and Magic Mountain and he reached a cooperation agreement early on to monopolize the sale of wine on Qingting Island, and of course he also received great benefits: a share of the snow salt trade in Magic Mountain and the establishment of a branch of the Clegane Bank. In addition, there is the protection of his maritime trade by the Magic Mountain, which ensures that the iron people of the Iron Islands will no longer hijack, attack, and harass ships flying the flag of Qingting Island.
Earl Redwin's aunt is the mother of Lord Mace Tyrell, Olenna Redwin, Queen of Thorns.
Obviously, the Magic Mountain focused on taking care of Count Redwin. Among the vassals of the Riverlands, Earl Redwyn had the most powerful wealth and legions. His two twin sons held official positions in the palace for a long time.
Mace has two great families and vassals, the first is the famous general Randolph Tully, who has been destroyed by the Magic Mountain, and the heir of Randolph Tully has also been killed, and the second character is Earl Redwin of Qingting Island.
Redwin's eyes signaled, telling his generals and knights not to move. Mace Tyrell's treason and Count Redwyn were outraged, and a handful of great noble generals were aware of their lord's plan to surrender!
Mace Tyrell wants to open the door and surrender, and he needs to communicate with several of his most important vassals in advance to gain their support.
Now that Lord Mace Tyrell's affairs have been revealed, the nobles of the Riverbend are suddenly uneasy, fearing that the Magic Mountain will kill them together.
Garland Tyrell, the Kingsguard, was expressionless, but his eyes were already fluctuating. As he stared at the Magic Mountain, which was just three paces away in front of him, Garland saw the hand of his fellow brother Osmond pressing the hilt of his sword, and he turned back inadvertently, and as expected, he saw the two brothers on the other side, Ge Lan and Ge Mengde, staring at him fiercely...... The two brothers, from the Iron Islands, were the two sons of Count Guber, and were invited by Lord Moshan to enter the palace and wear white robes.
In fact, since the meeting of the Imperial Ministers, Garland has been targeted by his fellow brothers intentionally or unintentionally, until he learned that his father and sister had an accident, Garland was shocked to realize that there were always gold-robed soldiers and white-robed brothers around him.
*
The Magic Mountain raised its hand, and the noisy throne hall returned to silence again.
Moshan raised his hand to signal, that was the order, and no one dared to disobey it.
In the silence of the audience, Lady Jane's voice rang out: "My lords, generals, knights, knights, ladies and ladies, let us ask Master Koben, the great teacher, to read for us the treason letter written by the Prime Minister to Daenerys. ”
Garland Tyrrell's face turned pale!
Earl Redwin and the Riverlands generals were ashamed.
Grand Master Cobain stood up and unfolded the letter, which he read quickly, and showed it to the courtiers and generals present, showing the signature of Mace on the letter and the wax seal of the Tyrells family.
Lady Jenny said, "This is physical evidence, now ask Enoch, the captain of the dungeon jailer, to bring the witness." ”
Outside the throne hall, there was a rattle of chains, and Varys, the former intelligence minister of the kingdom, was brought into the throne hall by four black-clad jailers with swords. Once upon a time, Varys had left his footprints in every part of the throne hall, and Varys had been working here for more than twenty years. He served three generations of kings: Elise Targaryen, Robert Baratheon, and Joffrey Baratheon.
Varys' arrival caused another uproar!
The faces of many nobles and generals could not help but change - they had been in private contact with Varys before the naval war began, and they had reached the details of the surrender agreement. However, when the dragon of the Demon Mountain appeared, they also took the initiative to find the Minister of Intelligence Bernie Clegane in time, and betrayed Varys, who had come to King's Landing to persuade him to rebel. This led directly to the capture of Varys and Dario.
If Varys identified them here, with the brutality and ruthlessness of the Magic Mountain, they would also be indistinguishable, and there would be only one glorious path - to be hanged by the Magic Mountain!
Varys was brought to the long table of the Imperial Ministers. - Once upon a time, there was a prominent place for him behind this long table.
Lady Jane said lightly, "Lord Varys, please show me, among our courtiers and generals, who is the traitor who accepted your rebellion?"
As soon as these words came out, many nobles almost ran away, but they all held back. In the crowd, the Cregans were everywhere. Several courtiers were trembling, their hands covered with cold sweat.
Varys' bald head was bright, and the jailers had shaved his scalp before he came here to testify. Varys knew all the courtiers in this hall, many of whom were old friends of more than ten years, and those old friends were the targets of his rebellion.
"Lady Jeanne, I have not seen the Lord with whom I have made a surrender agreement. ”
"Isn't there in the hall?"
"Yes, Lady Jenny. ”
"Not one?"
"Yes, ma'am, not one. The big guy isn't here. ”
The many courtiers and generals who found Bernie Clegane in private and betrayed Varys were all relieved in their hearts. They confessed to Bernie Klegane that they had been bewitched by Varys, and they had atonement for their crimes, and told Bernie Varys and Dario of their arrival, and that it was impossible for Lady Jenny and the Magic Mountain not to know that they were the targets of Varys's rebellion, and that they themselves had confessed to Lord Bernie first.
Madame Jenny asked, and Varys replied that among so many courtiers, there was not a single traitor, which made these courtiers and generals understand the fact that Moshan and Madame Janine knew what they had done stupidly, but Moshan and Janine let them go: they would not be held accountable!
At the same time, these lucky courtiers and generals are grateful to the Magic Mountain and Janie. They know who they should turn to, there's no doubt about that.
Lady Jane said, "Varys, since you said that the man is not here, please name the man." ”
"Lord Lord Mace Tyrelll. ”
The words were not loud, but they spread throughout the hall.
Garland Tyrrell's face turned blue!
Redwing and the other generals of the Bends all looked miserable.
"Take Mistress Mace Tyrrell. Magic Mountain shouted.
Soon, a team of golden-robed men came out of the side door of the throne hall with a tightly bound Mace Tyrell, his face as dead as ashes and a haggard expression, as if he had just died and had only his last breath left.
"Varys, is he the traitor you came to King's Landing to contact and rebel?"
"Yes, ma'am, it is he, Mace Tyrell, Duke of Riverlands, Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms. ”
Lady Jenny looked at Mace Tyrell: "Lord Mace, this is Lord Varys, who has come to King's Landing to see you, you have been rebelled against him, and personally promised to open the city gates to welcome Daenerys's army into the city, do you deny it?"
“...... No, I don't deny it, ma'am......" Mace Tyrell said in a murky voice.
Mace Tyrell pleaded guilty to treason without a single word of justification!
Beforehand, Moshan told him that as long as he confessed to treason in public, he would be spared death. If they deny, hang him and Margaery Tyrell.
Syllable!
In the crowd, someone threw out a shoe that hit Mace in the head.
A golden dragon also flew out of the crowd and smashed into Mace's face. Mace's face was open and blood was pouring out.
The curses also exploded, one after another.
The crowd was so strong that it looked like a lot of people wanted to rush forward and strangle Mace Tyrelll.
Of course, those who show excitement and 'move their hands and mouths' are not necessarily nobler than Lord Mace.
Demon Mountain shouted, "Stop. ”
Only then did the courtiers, generals, ladies and ladies rein in their mouths and shut up.
The Magic Mountain said slowly, "Although Lord Mace Tyrell was rebelled against by Varys and the little devil, he also had great credits. In the decisive battle between the Coalition and the Wraiths in Winterfell, if it weren't for Lord Mace's selfless delivery of food and military supplies to the north for support, our coalition forces would not have been able to defeat the Wraiths, and I would not have been able to kill the Night King. If Winterfell is defeated, we are all in danger of extinction. Lord Mace, he has a great sin, but he also has a great merit, and he is still a duke, and I cannot tolerate you using lynching to humiliate him. His merits and demerits require the Minister of Justice to appoint a chief judge to conduct a fair and open trial. ”
Earl Redwin of Qingting Island and the generals of the River Bend Land were suddenly relieved, and the magic mountain still remembered the merits of Lord Mace, so their lives as vassals under Lord Mace......
