Chapter 588: Feng Shui takes turns, coming to my house this year

Margaery has been in a good mood for the past two days, so good that she didn't lose her temper even if she was snubbed by Egger.

Because she had a hunch that the Tyrell family's grievances for more than 300 years were coming to an end!

In Westeros, there is a pseudo-"trivia" that is rarely discussed on the table, but in fact everyone knows - the current rulers of the Riverlands, the Rose family, the "Riverbend King" gardener family who were slaughtered by the conqueror Aegon Targaryen with dragon flames...... of housekeepers.

Is it true that the Conqueror promoted such a lowly family to be the guardian of the Southern Frontier to take charge of the riverbend, as in the background introduction, simply because: did the Tyrells open the gates of the city after the Battle of the "Burning Plains" and present the High Court?

Of course not.

Logically speaking, even the statement that "the Tyrells dedicated the High Court" itself is untenable - even if all the male members of the Gardener Family were burned to death by Dragon Flame in the war, the High Court should be passed on to a certain other Riverside nobles with the closest bloodline to the Gardener's Family according to the law of succession, and the surname Tyrelll would not appear in the next thousand.

It's not your turn, and the wind thinks you're not qualified.

Since the castle was not owned by the Tyrrells, why did they say that they had "dedicated the High Court"?

But Aegon wants them to turn over and be their masters.

Although the humiliation of the nobles of Hewan Land, who were the vanquished, was the direct cause of this move, the real purpose was to let a guy who was not worthy of virtue to suppress a large group of princes of Hewan Land, who claimed to be the "descendants of the green hands", to create balance.

Those ancient families who were in the top line of succession naturally disagreed with the Tyrell family's superiority, but they were afraid that the other party had the Targaryen family as a backer and did not dare to make a mistake, so they could only obey the yang and the yin, and all the authority and power of the Tyrell family came from the support of the Targaryen family, so they could only firmly hold the thigh of the Dragon family from then on, and did not dare to have two hearts at all.

In this way, the river bend has the strongest comprehensive strength with the largest population of the seven countries, but it is trapped in internal friction and can never get rid of the control of the Targaryens, and the Duke of Tyrell has the number one paper data, but he has to be the dog of the Targaryen family for the rest of his life, and he can't turn over for thousands of years!

Just like the earth world from which Iger came, where the sun never sets and Millican later, successive world hegemons have used offshore balancing strategies on the Eurasian and African continents to maintain their own transcendent status - the means themselves are very simple and can be seen through at a glance, but they are so crude that they cannot be cracked, which is a real conspiracy.

The descendants of the conquerors, successive Targaryen kings also understood this truth, and made it a basic national policy to "prevent the Tyrells from entering the center of power", and ruled peacefully for 300 years.

It's no coincidence that the Tyrells don't have a queen and a prime minister.

Decent people don't talk about it!

But no matter how well-behaved a dog is, it will still be ambitious in a hundred years. Many generations of Tyrell family members have been going forward and trying to break the iron collar around their necks, but they are forced to watch the Targaryen family closely and dare not be too presumptuous, so they can only carefully bypass the Targaryen family's clamp and save the country through some gentle ways.

Speaking of this story, it is another very long and complicated history.

The rise of the House of Tyrells can be summarized in three stages.

First, lie on the salary and taste the guts, and endure it.

While obediently obeying the command of the Targaryen family and being his own watchdog, the first generations of the Tyrell family leaders withstood the indifference and disdain of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, and gave away their daughters and married other people's girls with shy faces...... Relying on the same conspiracy of continual marriages between the family members and the ruling families and powerful princes of the other six kingdoms, they struggled to get rid of the label of "stewards" and gain a firm foothold in the riverlands, and the decrees were gradually able to get out of the high court, and no one dared to provoke them in the open.

Second, business plus luck to open up the gap.

Once they had gained a foothold, the Tyrells used their brilliant minds and keen insight, taking advantage of their official status as guardians of the South, and began to rack their brains to amass all possible wealth and connections.

They pay attention to any changes and even a little technological innovation that occur in this world, keep up with the times, and while collecting grain and taxes normally, they do not hesitate to participate in industry and commerce without sparing their status and face, and slowly change from a small family in name only, to a huge rich and powerful family with soft and hard power comparable to the old town of Hightower, Qingting Island Redwin, Brightwater City Floren and other families, and finally can be on an equal footing with those top nobles in any field and occasion, without using the Targaryen family as a shield at any time.

Then, by virtue of the "wise" choice of neutrality in the Dance of the Blood Dragons (in fact, it may have been too cowardly to take sides, but the blind cat met a dead mouse), the Tyrells' family, whose strength was completely preserved, opened a gap with other secondary nobles who fought bloodiedly but did not get any benefit, and finally succeeded in achieving "their own strength crushing any single other family", and stabilized their position as the boss of the southern realm.

Accumulate and try to take the stage.

After more than two hundred years of obscurity, the Tyrells felt that they had finally grown their wings and waited enough time to start trying to squeeze into the center of power and try to get to the top of the power stage.

In the words of an insider, "No matter how slow the wheel turns, it's time for the Tyrells." ”

This stage is the shortest, but the process is the most bumpy, which can be called a history of ups and downs full of bitter tears.

***

The Targaryens, who found that their "dog" was starting to be restless, immediately tightened the chain and began to use various means and methods to suppress and control the former, and Margaery's grandparents did not dare to resist openly, so they never found a chance.

When the time came for the Retainer War, Little Rose's father left the Riverside and marched towards Storm's End, feeling that he had finally waited for his chance. Duke Tyrell's army besieged Stannis under the city, ostensibly because he couldn't do anything, but in fact, he wanted to raise thieves and self-respect: let the other royalists and the alliance of revenators fight first, and when the Mad King and Prince Rhaegar had no other way to beg him to lead his troops north to fight the fire, he could take advantage of the situation and make a big offer, even if he couldn't book the position of the next queen and prime minister, at least occupy a seat in the royal council...... Both the finance minister and the Minister of Maritime Affairs have at least achieved a historic breakthrough.

Who wants to think that although the abacus crackles, but people are not as good as heaven, Rhaegar was defeated and died in the Trident River, King's Landing was stabbed in the back by old Tywin, the Targaryen family was wiped out in minutes, the old master was gone, it seemed to be good news, but the new Robert seemed to be confused but was actually shrewd, and as soon as he sat on the Iron Throne, he took the dog chain of the Targaryen family and tied the riverbend to his feet.

finally survived until Cersei's scandal and the queen's position was vacated, but even Margaery, a young and beautiful girl, ran over to recommend herself for a pillow, and she kept hitting the wall...... Later, he became the evil star who killed Robert and Lan Li, the murderer who poisoned Eddard Stark, and Stannis's quick thorn in the side, which can be described as extremely embarrassed.

When Aegon Targaryen Jr. re-raised the Targaryen flag from the Stormlands, the Tyrells thought it was finally time to come out.

Whoever wanted to send an envoy to contact him, little Aegon dreamed of being his aunt Daenerys, and even the position of prime minister had already been given to Jon Clinton, a hard-working and loyal servant.

The Tyrells, who were not short of money and land, could not get the most desired position in the center of power, and Aegon Jr. was also confident in his marriage to Daenerys and refused to go all out, and the negotiations between the two sides on the alliance price were never going well, which was the fundamental reason why Riverlands ostensibly supported Aegon Jr., but in fact did not join forces with the Golden Regiment and set up camp together.

When the little prince finally got the chance to meet Daenerys to confess his marriage, the news came that "not only was he denied bloodline, but also scared the dragon...... Ordinary spectators like Nina just feel pity, but Margaery Tyrell is happy in her heart!

These damn wretches!

Deserve!

Daenerys does not recognize the identity of Aegon Targaryen, so the marriage between the two dragons is naturally impossible to talk about, and the current situation is that Stannis's defeat is a foregone conclusion, and the two Targaryens, Prince Aegon is missing a queen, and Daenerys has just died as the prime minister - whichever of the Bends supports will surely win. The Tyrells family endured for more than 300 years, and finally waited for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the wheel of history, finally rolling to this half circle of the rose pattern!
