Chapter 0504: Kingship and Beasts

Night, virgin dwelling.

The Magic Mountain comes face to face with Mestilir and Margaret Tyrell.

The first time he and the Tyrells were officially allies had come to talk about things, and that had previously been through Petyrberry the Littlefinger.

Littlefinger left King's Landing before the King's wedding, went to Harrenhal as Duke of Harrenhal to receive Harrenhal Castle and Domain, and then crossed the Trident River into the Vale to convince Lysa Tully to swear allegiance to the Crown.

After Littlefinger leaves, the middleman of the secret alliance between the mountain and the Tyrells is gone, and the mountain himself visits the Tyrells.

"Lord Mace, Her Majesty the Queen Mother hosted me at the Queen Mother's Ballroom in the afternoon. ”

"Mistress Gregor, I've received the message. Her Majesty the Queen Mother invited her to a banquet and refused to invite me, but she didn't even invite Margaery, which made me feel scorned. ”

"Her Majesty doesn't take the Tyrells seriously. "The words of the magic mountain are as bright as a knife.

"Mistress Gregor, have you come here to teach me?" said Margaret Tirel obediently.

"Your Majesty, you are speaking too politely. I have proposed that the Imperial Ministers appoint Tomman Baratheon as King, and Sir Kevon, the Counsellor of Cole, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Prince Tommen, and myself have all agreed. ”

"The king's coronation needs to take place in the Basilica of Baylor, the archbishop of the Baelor Chapel has been poisoned, and the position is currently vacant, how can Prince Tommen be crowned?" said Mace.

"It's easy to be an archbishop, just elect one of the seven archbishops. The Magic Mountain looked at Margaret Tyrell, "My real concern is that once Tomman sits on the Iron Throne, he will need to find a queen for him. Once a new queen is chosen, Queen Margaery, as the widow of His Majesty King Joffrey, may not be eligible to live in the royal court. ”

Mace and Margaery looked at each other with a blank look!

"Is there any good way Lord Gregor can teach me?"

"Marry Tommen. "As long as you have no opinion, I am willing to be a matchmaker and let Tommen marry Queen Margaery." ”

Mace and Margaery looked at each other again, and Mays said, "Lord Gregor, if Margaery could become King Tomman's wife, we in the Tyrells would be grateful. β€œ

Margaery did not have the slightest joy, she had no feelings for being queen, she was concerned with political interests. Lady Olena, the Queen of Thorns, was very successful in her education, and for the sake of the family, personal emotional needs were not worth mentioning.

"Thank you, Lord Gregor. I am very eager to be the wife of King Tommen, and I will love King Tomman with all my heart and do my best to be a good wife and a good queen of the country. ”

"Queen Margaery, I may have some trouble proposing to you, but I think that as long as the Cleganes and the Tyrells are closely linked, Queen Cersei will finally agree to your marriage to Tommen. ”

"My lord, the Tyrells are eternal allies of House Clegane. Mace assured the Magic Mountain.

This guarantee is non-binding!

But Magic Mountain doesn't mind these hypocritical claims.

"Lord Mace, Queen Margaery, House Clegane is also an eternal ally of House Tyrrell. ”

Everyone is just as hypocritical and takes what they need, so there is no need to despise each other.

"Lord Gregor, where's the Prime Minister?" said Margaret Tirel.

"Miss Margaery, if you marry Tomman and become the queen of the kingdom, you will be able to master the king of Tommen, who is still a child. If Lord Mays were to compete for the position of Prime Minister at this time, it would be detrimental to your marriage to Tommen. If you were the queen and Lord Metz was the prime minister, the courtiers and generals would think that the Tyrells wanted to seize the throne of House Baratheon. My suggestion is that the prime minister be placed on Count Kay von Lannister, and King Tommen will be given to Queen Margaret Tirel. Magic Mountain said.

"My lord, what if Cersei doesn't agree to marry us?" Mace voiced her concerns.

"It's simple, my lord, as long as you stop the food shipment into King's Landing, and the army attacking the Riverlands stops fighting, I will speak before the queen mother, and the Queen Mother Cersei will have to submit. Magic Mountain said.

Mace and Margaery looked at each other again.

Mace said, "Well, Lord Gregor, I'll listen to you this time. ”

"Before I go to tell Cersei about the marriage for you, my lord, I want you and I to pay a visit to Sir Kavon Lannister. ”

"Oh?!"

"We went to visit him and agreed to vote for him to be Prime Minister and ask him to agree to the marriage of Margaery and Tommen"

"That's a good idea!" Margaery's beautiful eyes sparkled, "as long as Sir Kevon agrees, or at least doesn't stop him, when Lord Gregor goes to propose marriage, there is a good chance that Queen Cersei will agree." ”

"Queen Margaery. "Even if Sir Kevon does not agree, I promise you to marry King Tommen." ”

"Really?"

"Of course. ”

"Thank you for your attention. Margaret Tyrell stood up and curtsied to the Magic Mountain. As soon as she leaves the palace and loses her status as Queen Tommen, the political interests of the Tyrells and her own status and glory will be greatly reduced.

"No need to thank me, House Clegane and House Tyrell are eternal allies. The Magic Mountain said in a sincere and communicative manner, "Queen Margaery, Lord Tyrrell, I also have a small matter that I need your support. ”

"My lord, what's the matter?"

"Sir Kevon will sit in the prime minister position of the little devil, and the position of Minister of Intelligence will become vacant, I hope ......"

"I'll vote for whoever you recommend at a meeting of the Imperial Ministers. Lord Mace didn't finish listening to the words of the Magic Mountain.

"My brother Loras's vote will also be voted for the best person recommended by the adults without reservation. Margaret Tyrell assured.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Queen and the Duke. The magic mountain bowed slightly.

Meggor House.

The maid entered Queen Cersei's bedroom: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, the seven-star monk Lancel Lannister asks to see you." ”

"Tell him to wait for me in the drawing-room. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. ”

Cersei slowly changed her clothes, let the maid put on light makeup, and saw that an hour had passed, before she took the maid, the guard, and the supervisor Oswell, Kate Black, to the meeting room.

Outside the door of the parlor, there stood several monks in green clothes, with several iron chains tied diagonally, and axes stuck in the chains around their waists, and several monks, led by Lancell, with seven-pointed stars tattooed with blue paint on their foreheads.

Opposite the monks were the red-robed guards of Her Majesty the Queen Mother, all with bright armor, long swords, helmets, and red cloaks, all eyeing several monks and full of hostility.

The monks were fearless and calm-looking. But Cersei saw cruelty in their calm.

Cersei is led into the parlour by the guards, and a tall figure stands in the middle of the parlor: a sparrow whose origin no one knows.

Cersei's heart fluttered when she saw the Sparrow come to the door in person.

She was looking for power other than the Magic Mountain, the West, and the Tyrells to use for her, and she had her eye on the Sparrow's Order: outnumbered and fearless of death. The little sparrows weren't afraid of death, and Cersei could tell in the little sparrows' eyes.

Cersei sat on the high seat: "Monk, what shall I call you?"

"Your Majesty, I am a sparrow. ”

"Lord Monk, the laws of the Seven Kingdoms stipulate that the Seven Star Monks are not allowed to carry weapons, and their only weapon is the Seven Star Bible, since you are a great monk, don't you understand this?"

"The sparrow understands. ”

"Knowingly committing a crime is added to the crime. Cersei snapped.

The hemp finch has a fearless face and a calm face. He was ragged, barefoot, and a gray monk's robe with broken sleeves that exposed his arms.

"Your Majesty, the kingdom is in turmoil, civil wars for many years, refugees are everywhere, famine and disease can take the lives of your people at any time, and the sparrows who believe in the seven gods appear to help these refugees and stabilize the situation in the country. As the monks and nuns of the Templars along the way south of the Blackwater River were slaughtered by the Tyrell legions, we had to arm ourselves with sticks against tyranny in order to protect the devout people of the Seven. ”

"The Tyrells' legion killed the Templars?" Cersei was intrigued. She had no crush on the Tyrells. The Tyrells are the granaries of the Riverbend, and the power of the grain is shaping the fate of the kingdom.

"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen Mother. Either our monks would have picked up clubs and axes, and they would have been slain by the noble legions returning from King's Landing to the Riverlands. To kill a monk is to anger the seven gods, and once the seven gods send down heavenly punishment, no one can escape judgment. At that time, it will be the end of the Seven Kingdoms. ”

"Now that the Seven Kingdoms have been stabilized, the Anti-King Lanli and Stannis have all been subjugated, and Stormlands, Dorne, Dragonstone, Riverlands, Kinglands, and the Westlands are all vassals loyal to the royal family of Baratheon. ”

"Your Majesty, the kingdom has not achieved peace. Sparrow took two steps and faced Cersei, "The Northern Independence and the War between the Riverlands continues, and I see from the prophecy that the Randolph Tali coalition will not be able to take Riverrun. The people of the Vale have not yet returned to the royal family, and Dorne has been destabilized by the poisoning of Oberon Martell. β€œ

"If the Tyrells of Riverlands are dissatisfied, they can stop supplying food to King's Landing at any time, and the refugees of King's Landing will inevitably revolt. And if Her Majesty the Queen Mother approves the Church to have arms, then the Church Arms will be able to protect the people for Her Majesty the Queen Mother, stabilize the political situation, appease the people, and fight against thieves for the royal family. The million-dollar debt owed by the royal family to the Great Church of Baylor can also be written off. ”

The words of the Sparrow made Cersei's heart flutter!

"Lord Monk, you are not the archbishop, and you cannot forgive the royal family of millions of debts. ”

"Your Majesty, as long as you say a word, I can ask the seven archbishops in the Great Sanctuary of Baylor to choose me as the archbishop tomorrow, and I will be the archbishop, and the first thing I can do is to forgive the royal family a million gold dragon debts. The second thing is to appease the refugees, even if the whole city runs out of food, there will be no more troubles for refugees in the whole city. β€œ

Cersei said lightly, "Monk, what do you want me to say?"

"As long as Her Majesty the Queen Mother nods and allows me to be the archbishop, I will go and get the seat of the archbishop myself. ”

"How do I take it?"

"I will convince the Seven Archbishops to elect me archbishop. ”

Cersei was silent!

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, if you can amend the law and allow the church to be armed, the church will spare no effort to maintain the stability and peace of the kingdom. ”

"If you were the archbishop, I would want you to do two things for me. ”

"Your Majesty, please say that there are two things?"

"The first is to crown King Tomman and put on the crown. ”

"This is the duty of the archbishop. ”

"The second thing to do, capture Margaret Tyrell and put her in the Templar dungeon. ”

"Your Majesty, if a monk wants to arrest someone, he needs that person to commit something that violates the precepts of the Seven Stars Bible. ”

"Margaret Tirel has an intimate relationship with her maids that is more intimate than that between master and servant, she is the queen of King Joffrey, but she also has an abnormal relationship with Sir Osniket Black. ”

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, these accusations are very serious and need evidence. If Her Majesty the Queen Mother comes forward to testify, we will invite Queen Margaret Tyrell to the church to attend the prayer meeting and then arrest her. β€œ

"I can't come forward, she's the widow of my child Joffrey, it's unethical. ”

Sparrow pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, if you can get Osney Kate Black to come to the church to testify that Queen Margaery has something to do with him, then I can try to arrest Margaery." β€œ

"Okay! I'll find a way to get Osney to come to the church and tell the archbishop. ”

Early the next morning, in the Queen Mother's living room.

Kaivon Lannister, who had been ordered to come, could no longer be calm after hearing Cersei's words: "Your Majesty, the Templar will not be armed. ”

"I know that it was a decree from Maegor I, and that decree has been more than two hundred years old, and it is time to revise that outdated decree. ”

"The Templar is a beast of prey, and once released, we have no control over the situation. The little sparrows loyal to the sparrow are everywhere, and the people at the bottom regard them as relatives. Once the Templar is legally armed with the stars and the sword, the Sparrow is a different king. The kingship of the kingdom will get out of hand. ”

"Uncle Kaivon, you're overthinking. The Templar armament is like the magic mountain, as long as you control them, their power is our power, and the little sparrow and the holy sword knight are our soldiers. ”

"Cersei, you're naΓ―ve. "Templars are completely different from the Magic Mountain, which weighs the pros and cons for the sake of profit, honor, status, and power, and fears the power of the king and the hearts of the people

"For the sake of faith, for the sake of the Seven Gods, for the sake of the laws of the Seven Stars Bible, there is no pros and cons, no fear, and no kingship at all. The king, the queen mother, the prime minister, the royal courtiers, the nobles, the knights, in their eyes are nothing, and in their eyes there are only seven gods. Once you agree that they have the right to legal armament, they can buy any weapon from the blacksmith, unleashing one of the most fearsome beasts of all. β€œ
