72 Sealing Issues

Although they all belonged to the Meggor Building, the rooms where the king lived were much more spacious than those of Lan Li.

The balcony has a wide view, the floor is covered with ornate silver mil carpets, the gold-colored bed sleeps more than six adults, the corner wine cabinet is filled with wine from all over the Seven Kingdoms, and the furnishings are all atmospheric and expensive.

It was a bright place, but at this time there were only two people sitting in the wine cabinet chairs, one old and one young, seemingly leisurely tasting the sour wine from Dorne, but actually discussing the affairs of the kingdom.

As with the wine in hand, they were talking about Dorne right now, and the former Prime Minister, Jon Arryn, was going to wait for the young king to make an envoy to Dorne after his wedding to try to appease the Martell family in Dorne.

Robert himself had little hope for this, but he did not refuse his adoptive father's offer.

However, the topic of Dorne did not last, and after the initial decision, the young black-haired king turned to say, "I intend to make Blue Rite the Lord of Storm's End. ”

These words made the bald old man with pale blonde hair on his head look stunned, but the other party's words did not end, but continued.

"Look at his little face and pale appearance, I'm really afraid that he will die of illness like this." Robert said, taking a sip of the wine in his hand, and then poured himself another glass, looking in good spirits.

"Maybe this news will make him recover faster."

Instead, the old man put the silver wine glass in his hand back on the wine cabinet, and then said solemnly: "I don't think it's appropriate, Your Majesty, Lan Li is still too young, and he is frail and sickly, and he has not made any contributions. ”

"Merit?"

Robert was a little unhappy when he heard this: "If you want to talk about this, do I have to give our family's family fort and territory to others?" ”

"I mean, Your Majesty, you can keep the Stormlands, you are the heir of the Baratheon family, and you have this right." Jon Sr. explained, "Waiting for your son to be born and then separating it is the right choice. ”

"I'm not married yet, so you're thinking about my son." Robert smiled: "Besides, whether it is a child of the lion family or a child of the deer family, I can't say for sure." ”

These words made the other party pause, and then stared at the young king in front of him, as if he could not believe that he could say such a thing. Robert laughed when he saw this.

"Look, I'm scared of you, Jon, can't you even hear a joke when you're old?"

He said, the smile on his face retracted: "But if Cersei really dares to mess with me after marriage, I have to kill her, whether he is in the west or not, and then you don't have to talk to me about the overall situation of the Seven Kingdoms." ”

"If there is a day, we should think about how to eradicate the Lannisters completely." The old man said without hesitation when he heard this, and then looked helpless.

"But how many times do you have to tell me? That's just a rumor, Robert. Think of Aegon the Warrior, I'm afraid you'll be misled by words like him and do something foolish. ”

His words were unabashedly full of worry, and Robert listened to the silence for a moment, and then said with emotion, "You're a good adoptive father, Jon, and sometimes I feel like a real asshole. ”

The old man was comforted when he heard this, but then he heard the other party say: "But we don't need to talk about my brother's separation, I can only decide this matter." The seven kingdoms are all mine, but my brother is not even a lord? How will you face my parents after you tell me to die? ”

"The Clinton family has been stripped of all their territory and wealth by the Mad King, and Your Majesty may consider giving the Vulture Nest Fort to Lan Li." The old man suggested, "It doesn't have to be Storm's End. ”

It's just a castle, but Storm's Rest represents the Baratheon family of Stormland, and the Baratheon family of Stormland is the feudal lord of most of the lords and nobles of Stormland.

The name of the feudal lord is very important to the aristocratic class, which is equivalent to half a master-

The other half is the king.

Looking at Robert's intention, it is obvious that he is preparing to make his younger brother the Duke of Stormland, or to inherit the family business of the Baratheon family in Stormland, which is equivalent to making a five-year-old child a prince directly.

"Fort Vulten's Nest is indeed a large territory, but you don't know that I have promised the Clinton family's land." When Robert heard this, he denied: "Even that broken castle, I plan to return Ronald Clinton." He fought for me, and I always had to give him some sweetness. ”

"What about the long table hall? The Marevis family had also been stripped of their territory by the Mad King, and now we-"

"Gods, Jon, don't tell me you didn't know it was the castle of the Riverlands?"

"It can also be stormland."

"That's right, but we've already sealed a piece of land in the Long Table Hall to the Dondelien family, so do we want to seal the castle too?" Robert shook his head, "Riverlands are pretty honest right now, I don't want to irritate them too much." ”

Jon Sr. was speechless.

The man who had been beaten by the Riverlands army, and who had even suffered a good blow when he saw the Duke of Tyrell after the war, now seemed to have forgotten how he gritted his teeth when he talked about that defeat.

There is no other reason for such a change, Duke Mace Tyrell ran a while ago to send his sister to the horse, but he didn't know which string he said correctly, and he made Robert happy.

He wasn't really stupid, he did what he should have done in some punishment for defeat, and cut a large piece of flesh in the riverbend alive, but at the moment, this man could no longer be called hostile to the riverbend in his heart.

But this is not a bad thing for a king, after all, he has to look at the whole country sooner or later.

It's just that although the war has changed dynasties, in fact, the general situation of the Seven Kingdoms has not changed much, and there are not many cakes, except for the royal domain of the Targaryen family, the other two hostile camps Riverland and Dorne, one is too far to reach, and the other is intact, and it is too exaggerated to gnaw on it.

Storm's Rest is Storm's Rest, with Robert here, it's impossible for the Stormlands lords to make any trouble......

The old man thought to himself, but suddenly thought of another question.

"Your Majesty wants to seal Stannis to Dragonstone?"

"He's my heir."

When Robert heard this, he said as a matter of course: "Of course, the king's heir must be sealed on Dragonstone. ”

Dragonstone Island is located in the ocean east of King's Landing, and King's Landing Harbor is separated by a bay called Blackwater Bay, where the place is not large, but the status is special, the Targaryen Dynasty has been the heir to the Iron Throne since its creation as the Prince of Dragonstone, which has lasted for nearly three hundred years, and has been a custom and tradition that all lords have tacitly acquiesced, and it can even be said that as long as it is sealed on Dragonstone, it is equivalent to announcing the heir.

However, at this moment, it was difficult for Duke Jon to treat his adopted son's second brother with a normal attitude.

Because at the mention of him, it was difficult for the old man not to think of some of the things that had been found out by the rumors a while ago.

Although everyone has assumed that the Lord of Tyrell of Riverlands was the work of the Tyrells, is that really the case?

What if it wasn't actually Tyrrell's doing, or maybe he was being taken advantage of?

If the rumor is that the king's second brother, Stannis, instructed his knights......

If so, what is his purpose?

Duke Jon unconsciously thought of the time when the dragons of the Targaryen dynasty were not extinct, a prince who was also the king's younger brother and once coveted the throne of the Prince of Dragonstone, full of ambition and unruliness......

This thought made the new Prime Minister wary, so he faced the young king in front of him and said, "Stannis is your heir now, but it doesn't mean that he will always be in the future. ”

His words made Robert's face startle, and a hint of thought appeared between his eyebrows.

"You can't never have your own son as an heir." Seeing this, the old man said, "So I think Your Majesty should keep Dragonstone Island and wait for the day of the birth of the heir before dividing it out." ”

"It's not conventional." Robert replied casually.

"The tradition is that the heir to the king is the Prince of Dragonstone." The old man said slowly, "But Stannis is not destined to be your heir, unless you can't give birth to a son." ”

This made Robert think for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

"That makes sense, but in this way, according to the succession and military exploits, Stannis should be sealed in ......Storm's End."

The king's words made the old man frown, but before he could say anything, the other party suddenly scolded.

"Hell, why are we following House Targaryen traditions? That's a bunch of silver-haired bastards, why should I listen to them? ”

"Your Majesty, you inherit the Iron Throne in the name of Princess Raylei Targaryen's bloodline, so naturally you need to abide by the traditions of the past."

"That was before I was crowned."

Robert said, "Now that I am the king, who can oppose me because of this little thing?" ”

The old man's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he had a faint bad premonition.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"To overthrow it, of course." Robert replied as a matter of course.
