Chapter 0590: Game of Thrones: Ousting the Sea Lord
Jaime said, "My lords, there is no way for the people of the North to go south. ”
"Sir Jaime, we have received news from our own people, that the Northerners have assembled in Winter's Town, with Earl Jon Amber at the vanguard of the army, and that the Northerners under his command have passed the graves of their ancestors. Mistress Mace said in a deep voice.
"I have a doubt. Jaime said, "Jon Snow, Commander Raven of the Wall, has asked us to send troops and food to the Wall to help them fight the Wraiths. If the Great Wall is in a hurry, the first person he will call for help must not be us, but Robb Stark. Robb Stark will definitely send troops to the Great Wall as well, so where will the people from the North get their troops to go south?!"
"Jaime Knight, Riverland swore allegiance to Robb Stark, Randolph Tully withdrew his troops, and the siege of Riverrun was broken. The Northerners took the opportunity to go south to reclaim the Riverlands, and this was the perfect time. Robb is quite strategic with his soldiers, and you should not underestimate him. Demon Mountain said slowly.
Jaime's face froze!
Two years ago, during the Battle of Riverrun, Robb's cavalry raided and captured him in the forest, putting him in the underground black dungeon of Riverrun. During this time, after the Little Devil's operation to rob the prison failed, Jaime was even more closely guarded. Later, in order to survive, Jaime offered to work as a night watchman at the Wall. He returned to King's Landing after defrauding Duke Eddard Stark of his trust during the Great Wall.
Duke Eddard wanted Jaime to tell the king and his people about what he had seen on the Wall, so that the Seven Kingdoms could gather strength to reinforce the Night's Watch. Eddard's hopes are good, but as soon as Jaime leaves the Wall, there is no more news.
*
"Robb Stark would never have the heart to attack the Iron Throne, which contradicts the fact that Jon Snow Raven has sent a message asking the Iron Throne to send troops to support the Wall, and the Stark family must have sent troops south to bluff the plot. Jaime said slowly.
"Even so, it is imperative to elect an acting prime minister first. Demon Mountain said with a slight raised voice.
In the deal with Jaime, there was no deal about who would make the Prime Minister.
Lord Mace looked at His Majesty Tommen, "Your Majesty, what is your opinion?"
"I am in favour of electing an acting prime minister to handle government affairs first. "His Majesty Tommen has made a decision.
Margaery Tyrelll's enchanting look at the King in return. She smiled like a flower.
Jaime noticed Margaery's eyes!
Just this look of encouragement, love, tenderness, and appreciation would make Cersei jealous and see Margaery as an enemy. - Jaime knows Cersei's personality. Margaery has gained Tomman's trust and affection, which Cersei certainly won't be happy with. Cersei doesn't necessarily understand her 'heart', but Jaime sees it clearly.
Children are Cersei's weakness, and she loves children, this kind of maternal love, is pure and selfish. She wants every child to do what she envisions, she can't allow another woman to snatch her child, and she is jealous that Margaery has received the child's heartfelt love.
"Your Majesty, is the acting prime minister personally appointed by you, Your Majesty?"
"Vote, it's fairer. His Majesty Tommen said.
Jaime kept his mouth shut.
The king made a decision, and he had to obey it.
"I have elected Lord Moshan to be the acting prime minister. Mistress Mace said.
Jaime chuckled inwardly, if Mace Tyrell offered to make the Mountain the acting Prime Minister, then the Mountain would be done.
The influence of the Tyrells family combined with the strength of the Magic Mountain has determined that the number of votes for the Magic Mountain will definitely win.
However, he has a deal with the Mountain, and Jaime does not reveal the Mountain's secrets, but the Mountain must withdraw from King's Landing. If the Magic Mountain withdraws from King's Landing, naturally he cannot be the acting prime minister.
But what if Magic Mountain has to be the acting prime minister?
In terms of military strength, Jaime is the weakest, and the two powerful generals who go to Dorne to retrieve Princess Messira's entourage are also from the Magic Mountain: Bronn and Podrick.
The thousands of Western Army that had been crippled were no longer able to compete with the Klegane Army in Magic Mountain.
Jaime stared at the Magic Mountain.
"Your Majesty, my lords, I am notorious, and the people and magnates fear my force rather than my character. I don't know the law, and I don't know how to handle government affairs, so it's not appropriate for me to be acting prime minister. I recommend the most powerful Duke of Mace-Tyrell, from the old aristocracy, as Acting Prime Minister. ”
Jaime knew in his heart: the Magic Mountain kept his promise.
Mace knew in his heart: the Magic Mountain kept its promise.
Jaime's gaze at the Mountain softened, and the power of the Mountain would withdraw from King's Landing, and that was the condition he had earned.
After consulting His Majesty the King, two candidates for Acting Prime Minister were proposed: the Duke of Mace Tyrell and the Duke of Gregor Clegane.
In the Hall of the Throne, for the first time, there was a situation in which the candidates did not compete for prime minister.
This is an unbelievable phenomenon, the position of prime minister is a high position to be fought for by murder and arson, and it is absolutely impossible to have a situation of mutual humility.
King Tomman proposed: "Ladies and gentlemen, please raise your hand if you agree with the Duke of Metz to be acting Prime Minister." ”
Benronte Blonn was the first to raise his hand!
Margaery Tyrell raised her hand for the second time!
Jaime Lannister raised his hand for the third!
The fourth of the Magic Mountain raised his hand!
Bernie Klegane and Wagner Gall raised their hands at the same time!
Out of a total of nine votes, six have already voted in favor of Duke Mace Tyrell as Prime Minister.
Even if the rest of the people all support the Magic Mountain, the number of votes for the Magic Mountain is not enough.
Mace's face was irrepressibly happy! His eyes sparkled!
The great power teacher Koben also raised his hand!
Seven votes!
Finally, the child king Tomman also raised his hand!
Eight votes!
Tomman and Margaery are engaged to a royal wedding, and Tommen is looking forward to his mother's return to his wedding. Mace Tyrell was his father, the first person under the king, and of course preferably Margaery's father, Lord Mace, so that Queen Margaery could also be happy.
Eight votes!
Mistress Mace has done wonders.
As long as he votes for himself, it is nine votes, and he will be unanimously elected acting prime minister.
Finally, Master Mace raised his hand, and he looked around at everyone: "My own vote or not is meaningless, and I can't change everyone's will, since everyone must choose me as acting prime minister, I will disrespect everyone to shirk it." Okay, I'll vote for myself. “
As a result, Metz was unanimously elected acting prime minister!
*
"Prime Minister, I propose that Jaime Lannister be appointed Captain of the Kingsguard, and that Ser Garland Tyrell, Ser Germond Güber, and Sir Glenn Goebler be appointed Kingsguards, to fill the vacancy of the Kingsguards. ”
The Gübler family of the Iron Isles, Jaime is no stranger.
Iron ore from the West has come from the Iron Islands for 100 years. The Gubler family of Warhammer Horn was the main supplier. The iron ore on the other islands of the Iron Islands is decreasing day by day, and some have been exhausted in the past hundred years, but the mountains of the Gubler family, the iron ore reserves are still amazing, and they are the most abundant iron ore families on the Iron Islands.
The proposal was chaired by the Acting Prime Minister, Lord Mace, with Jaime Lannister unanimously elected Captain of the Kingsguard and Garland Tyrell unanimously elected as the Kingsguard.
Next came the vote against the two Gubl brothers.
Benronte Blom was the first to speak against Gmund Gubler and Glenn Gubler as Kingsguards, for the simple reason that they were the Iron Islanders, the Iron Race.
Jaime was against it, too, but he had a deal with the Mountain, and the Mountain made concessions in many ways, but had to meet his demands in others: such as voting for the Gubler brothers as Kingsguards.
The addition of the members of the Kingsguard is very grand, and the brothers of the Kingsguard need to put on white robes for them, and the archbishop needs to preside over the ceremony for them, and the level of the ceremony belongs to the royal level, which is very noble.
Demon Mountain said in a deep voice: "Commander Ben Longte, the great nobles of the Seven Kingdoms have traced upwards, and the establishment of many families is extremely dishonorable and noble. The Iron Islands are full of rebellions, but it is not the Warhammer Horn Gubl family who rebel, and we cannot impose hostility towards the Iron Islands on the Gubl family. ”
"The Gubl family has nothing to do with the kingdom!" said Benronte Bulon coldly.
The Magic Mountain sat as if someone else was standing, he stared at Ben Longt condescendingly, and said slowly, "You are wrong, Lord Commander of the Garrison. While we sit here and have a comfortable meeting, the 10,000 Cregan army in the west is fighting with the 2,000 Iron warriors of Count Gubler against Pike, Grand Wick, Old Wick, Kuroshio, Harlow, Salt Cliff, and Ocmund in the Iron Islands, fighting bloody battles for the unification of King Tommen. I would like to recommend not only the two knights of House Gubler as the Kingsguards, but also the Earl of Gübler as Governor of the Iron Islands, and ask His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister to issue a decree of appointment, and to summon Count Gubler to come to King's Landing to kneel down and submit to His Majesty King Tommen, and swear never to betray. ”
Benronte Blom was speechless!
The height of Commander Ben Longt is in the realm of the Iron Islanders, and the height of the Magic Mountain is in the realm of national unity. The royal family is close to the Gubl family, and in exchange for the kneeling submission of the Iron Islands, this is the most desired and important national event of the royal family.
When Moshan said the words 'swear never to betray', he accentuated his tone and raised his voice.
Although he killed Kai Feng, he was always loyal to the king of the Qing Dynasty. After the Clegane army entered the city, except for the attack on the Red Keep, which killed all the royal family and the prime minister's guard who resisted stubbornly, Qiu did not commit any crime against other courtiers, magnates, and ordinary people.
The words of the Magic Mountain made Ben Longt speechless!
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, the Magic Mountain is the guardian of the Western Frontier, the Minister of War, and it is the responsibility to help the country conquer the Iron Islands and oversee the loyalty of the Iron Islands. Moshan said slowly, as if he was afraid that others would not hear clearly.
"Vote!" announced Lord Mace, after taking in His Majesty Tomman's expression.
"I abstain!" Jaime said. The captain of the Kingsguard disagreed, but he didn't disagree either. As the new captain of the Kingsguard, James' decision upset Commander Benront.
"I'm against it!" said Benronte Blonn firmly.
Magic Mountain was the first to raise his hand, followed by Wagner Gall, Secretary of State for the Sea, Bernie Clegane, Minister of Intelligence, and Grand Master Cobain.
4 votes!
With one person against and one abstention, the Gubler brothers have just reached half of the votes and need the most crucial vote.
Finally, in full view of the Prime Minister, Lord Mace Tyrelll, raised his hand!
Five votes!
The Gubler brothers made it to the royal family, becoming the Kingsguard brothers and becoming their closest comrades to Jaime Lannister.
The Imperial Guard, unless he is expelled from the royal family, will serve the royal family for the rest of his life, which is equivalent to becoming a member of the royal family.
For the Kingsguard, they ate and lived with the king, queen, queen mother and others day and night, and the royal family had no secrets from them.
"Can Captain Jaime be trusted for the loyalty of the Gubler brothers?" said Commander Ben Ronte with an unsightly face.
"I'll take care of my brothers!" Jaime said slowly. There is no doubt that if there was even the slightest disloyalty on the part of the Gubler brothers, Jaime would have killed them.
Jaime wasn't clever enough, he wasn't brave enough, he wasn't cruel enough, he had no heart for the fame and riches that the nobles were striving for, and he didn't care about fighting. He didn't care about the inheritance and family fortune of Castle Rock since he was sensible, and now that his father and uncle have died, whether he wants it or not, Cersei and Tomman have to shoulder the responsibility.
Once Jaime put his mind to it, he was also a shrewd and difficult person to deal with.
Lord Mace is very happy to be the Prime Minister, and in a short period of time, he has completed the most important protective force of the royal family: the Kingsguard!
Except for the two Sir Gübers of the Magic Mountain, Mace didn't know a little, for the other five Kingsguards, Lord Mace was very relieved. Jaime and Garland are on Tomman and Margaery's side, and Mays believes that her daughter Margaery and son-in-law Tomman are safe.
Mace said, "Ladies and gentlemen...... There are a couple of very important things to deal with now: the southward movement of the Northern Army, the peaceful ...... of the Dorn"
"No, Prime Minister, I have an internal proposal for the Imperial Ministers before dealing with other national affairs, which is very important!" Jaime interrupted Mistress Mace.
Mace felt slightly uncomfortable: "Okay, Captain James, what do you have to say?"
"I propose to remove Wagner Gal from the post of Sea Lord, and we must elect a new Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy, who must understand the most important thing that even the Prime Minister and the Minister of War have no right to mobilize the Royal Navy fleet to participate in any family's civil war. The Royal Navy fleet should not have intervened, nor had the right to intervene, in this conflict between the Minister of War and the Prime Minister, unless ordered by His Majesty himself. No one, except His Majesty the King, has the right to mobilize the Royal Navy. ”
His Majesty Tommen, Queen Margaery, Prime Minister Mace, and Commander of the Garrison, Ben Lunte, were all shaken in their hearts!
The Captain of the Kingsguard, according to the law, was the only one who could speak against him, including the king, at the Imperial Council.
The law is the law, but Jaime immediately stabbed Wagner Gal when the magic mountain was so strong, and the people who moved the magic mountain were not afraid of the magic mountain's fury?
Wagner is a native of the Crab Claw Peninsula, and the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula revere the Magic Mountain as their king. The Crab Claw Peninsula is a remote but isolated part of the royal realm, and no one has ever conquered the peninsula except the Targaryen dragons.
Magic Mountain dared to deal with Kai Feng, in large part, because of the full support of the soldiers of the Royal Navy fleet.
But this is not in the interests of the royal family.
The fleet of the Royal Navy is not to be transferred by anyone except the king, and it should not be moved.
Jaime and the Mountain spent the night arguing in the Stone House of the Magic Mountain, just to take back control of the Royal Navy fleet first, as well as the absolute power of the Royal Guard.
This time the Magic Mountain fought Kai Feng, the Demon Mountain made a mistake, and so did Kai Feng. Magic Mountain took advantage of the Royal Navy fleet, and Kaivon mobilized the royal guards of Megarlou, and both overstepped their authority at the same time.
There can only be one person who can mobilize the royal guard and the Royal Navy fleet in Megarlou: Your Majesty!
Jaime doesn't care about Lord Mace's nagging northerners going south and the Dornish rebellion, he wants to purge His Majesty's legal authority as soon as possible: the first is the Royal Navy, and the second is the royal guard of Megar Tower.
Of these two great military powers, military power must be returned to only one person: His Majesty the King!
Prime Minister Mace didn't know what James was going to do, it was a new issue, and he felt the need to avoid provoking the Magic Mountain, but judging by James's expression, the issue could not be bypassed and had to be resolved at today's meeting.
The removal of Wagner Gal from the post of Minister of the Sea is a thorny issue, and unless the magic mountain lets go, if it is not handled well, it will cause violent turmoil in the royal family, and the consequences are unpredictable!
Lord Mace peeked at the Demon Mountain's expression, and the Demon Mountain was not angry or angry, and his expression was very calm.
The quiet Magic Mountain made Lord Mace even more uneasy.
The major and thorny issues at stake immediately showed the shortcomings of the lack of political talent of the Metz people.
