Chapter 30: Arrival in King's Landing

Previous Chapter

Looking at the King's Landing Gate in front of him, Bran felt a sense of joy after a long journey. Bran and his party have finally arrived. Bran now somewhat understands why the ancient emperors rarely engaged in activities such as patrolling the south and hunting in the north, it is really too time-consuming on the road, and it is better to stay at home if it can suffocate people. Historically, Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and it is estimated that there is a Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to take a boat, and the speed can be faster. If you go by land, no matter how good the road is, the speed of the carriage can also be compared with the bicycle, who can imagine riding a bicycle on a dirt road from Changchun to Shanxi? If you don't say that the motherland is good in the previous life, just the world's first high-speed railway and the world's longest and vast railway line are enough for Bran to sing praises to the motherland in the previous life.

Bran made up his mind that when King's Landing stabilized, he must hatch the dragon eggs first, at least the air creatures could fly faster. However, Bran didn't have much hope for this, the maximum flight speed of large and medium-sized birds is about 40 to 80 km/h, Bran does not know how fast the dragon can fly, according to the size of the dragon and the size of its wings, it should be a little slower, which is about the speed of motor vehicles in the city. Because no matter how fast it is, people in the air can't stand it, and in the TV series, Daenerys didn't even wear goggles when she flew on a dragon, it shouldn't be too fast, 50 is the most. Bran just knew that if you ride a motorcycle for more than 100km/h without a helmet, it is easy to keep your eyes open, and if you hit a small flying insect in your eye, it will be absolutely sour. In this way, even if you ride a dragon, it is estimated that it is not as fast as the car in the previous life to take the highway, let alone the speed of the high-speed rail in the previous life.

"Well, isn't it spectacular, very different from Winterfell?"

Duke Stark asked with a smile when he saw Bran staring blankly at the city gate. The last time Ned came to King's Landing, he was a young man, and he had vengeful rage, swords, and armies with him. And now, with the invitation of the king, he came here to be the hand of the king above the ten thousand people under that person, the most powerful minister in the seven kingdoms, and the hand of the country.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Hong Kong, this King's Landing gate is still visually inferior to Winterfell, which is made of whole boulders. But it's really gorgeous, looking golden from afar, the local tyrant is golden. It is said that the 12th King of the House of Targaryen, who had summoned a whole nation of warlocks to strengthen the walls with magic, could not even burn them with the flames of the dragons.

"The last time I was here, it was for justice, and this time, it's the same." Ned said very old and second.

"Daddy, if you're just for justice, I suggest we go back to the North as soon as possible." Bran squinted at the dead fish, and X squinted at his father. In the struggle for power, there is no such thing as justice.

Justice and truth are only within the reach of the sword. Bran knew that his father was an upright rectum, and if he didn't complain about it, then what he said would really become his code of conduct in King's Landing.

Bran does not dislike Ned's quality, in fact, his personality charm is also one of the few shining points in the play, and it is also the character inherited by the later protagonist Jon Snow, this kind of character to play fair, is the charm of knights. But meanness is the pass of the mean, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble. if you fight,fight dirty。

This world of a song of ice and fire has always been a world of success for the despicable, and if a successful person makes you think that he is not mean enough, it must be that the mistakes he has made have not been seen, or have not been directed at you. A person who works seriously and honestly. The best result is a lifetime that is the same as it was at the beginning.

Bran believed only one word. The rules of this world start when the first primitives raise the stick in their hands and swing it at the head of another primitive. It's already doomed.

In the original world, people were simple, and everyone did their own thing, working, sleeping, and multiplying. And when one day a primitive man swung his stick and hit another person, everything changed. The primitive man, who robbed others of the fruits of their labor, began to have the first primitive accumulation. When he tasted the sweetness, he immediately robbed the next person, turned these robbed people into his own slaves, and then hired other strong people to rob him, and just like that, like a snowball, he became a slave owner, and finally evolved into a nobleman and a decent person.

That's how the first nobility of this world came about. And they who became nobles, in order to prevent anyone from following their example, robbed them and became nobles. So the code of laws was formulated, and together with the ancestors, the first order, the code, which is often called the law. It has become a tool for some people to protect their own interests. The law must be just, but it is not necessarily fair, and it is definitely not just.

Think of those ridiculous martial arts trials. The law has never been to protect the weak, it is a tool to maintain order in society. Why maintain order in society? Because only by maintaining social order can the interests of the nobility be guaranteed. An orderly society can allow people to better farm, work, and liberate productive forces, and the income of these commoners' labor will continue to flow to the hands of the nobility through land rent, taxes, and money.

Just imagine how a nobleman who behaves like this can be harmless and kind? The descendants of the nobility, as vested interests, would never rebel against these rules. It's the same with Bran. Bran felt that his father was so upright, probably because he was not the first heir back then. In the future, Snow will be the same, and his eldest brother Rob will be the same, they are all crooked nobles.

So, the rebellion of the peeling family should be a certainty? A nobleman of noble character cannot lead many minor noble lords to obtain benefits, and it is inevitable that he will be overthrown.

Knights demanded loyalty because they owed allegiance to the nobility. But a nobleman with chivalry, it is estimated that in the aristocratic circle, he will be considered a psychopath, right?

"Welcome to King's Landing, Lord Stark, the King has asked you to attend the Council." A well-dressed squire walked up to Starkma and spoke.

Duke Stark looked at Bran, "You settle down with your mother and two sisters first." I'll go back before dinner. ”

"Well, maybe you can go back and change your clothes first." The attendant cautiously reminded that the attendant's heart was broken at this moment. Your face is dusty, the hem of your skirt is dirty, and your beard is not trimmed. Although you people in Beijing are informal, this is too much, right?

Ned glanced at the squire, but did not speak, and handed the reins to him, while he swaggered towards the King's Council Chamber.

Bran looked at his father's back speechlessly, he knew his father, as a duke, his father was not unaware that his appearance was very inappropriate and not noble. And yet he did it, and he was giving the people of King's Landing a disgrace. Look, I'm just so unruly, let you see how rough and unruly my Northeast Lao Tie is, Lao Tzu is a barbarian, you bite me.

If his father really built according to the squire. He will have no prestige at all, and in the future, his every move in King's Landing will be told by countless people that he can't do this, that he can't do that, that he will be restrained. The barbarians have their own barbarian practices. Bran can only be a foreign salted fish who can shout Sykes, Sykes, Sykes.

Bran was speechless that his father had stepped on a pile of horse manure when he dismounted. In order to reflect the momentum, Ned naturally couldn't stop and find someone to shovel it out, the brown unknown object stuck to the riding boots, and with his father's dragon and tiger steps, there was always a trace of ...... Incongruous.

Alas. I hope you have a good appetite tonight, people in the council chamber.
