Game of Thrones: The Strongest Guoguang

Chapter 145 Putting Pressure on Storm's End Castle

If Rhaenyra were to comment on the Baratheon family of Storm's End, she would only say four words, "very rebellious"!
Orys, the first patriarch of Baratheon, was the illegitimate son of Targaryen, which meant that their relationship with the royal family was very ambiguous.

The Stormlands is also one of the kingdoms closest to King's Landing, and a team can be pulled up at will to "Jingqin King". This is how Rogar Baratheon supported the young master Jaehaerys and opposed the rule of his uncle Maegor. .

To make an inappropriate analogy, Rhaenyla thinks that Baratheon is Sima's usurping Cao Wei from another world——Rogar Baratheon just wanted to dethrone himself and depose Jaehaerys from the crown, but it failed That's all.

The later generation of Robert inherited the excellent tradition of his ancestors and wiped out King Aerys, leaving only two mad princes who escaped from the Seven Kingdoms.

Of course, it was also Aerys' own mad blood attack plus "wrong spring" and other causes and effects that caused Targaryen to lose the Iron Throne.

However, Robert and the princes of the northern border and the valley are in the same spirit, and Targaryen is no longer holy after losing the dragon. The Lord of the Seven Kingdoms will still surrender, but it will be sooner or later.

Like Hightower and the Lannisters, the Stormlands remained a concern for Rhaenyra.

Beaumond Baratheon, now Duke of Storm's End, supported the uncrowned Queen Princess Rhaenys, her niece, in the Great Council.

But his heir, Borrows, later joined the Green Party.

Borrows told the Greens that Rhaenyla believed that the Baratheons had been rightfully supporting the Black Party for far too long.

He even misremembered his relationship with Renis.

He claimed he was not against women, but supported male inheritance over women.

Those who were present at the time said that the Duke was flushed with shame and anger, and others said that he was very happy at the time, as if he was vain that both parties wanted to win him over.

The latter ordered Rhaenyla's son to choose to be betrothed to one of his daughters, but because Lucerys had already been engaged to his step-sister Rhaena, he had to reject the duke's request, so the Duke of Storm's End refused to support his "bitch mother" .

What followed was that Midori and Black went to war over the death of the visiting messenger, Koji.

It can be said that the shocking changes in Storm's End officially opened the prelude to the dance of blood dragons.

The role played by Baratheon seems to be nothing special, but it is everywhere.

"It's like a weed on the wall. When I stood for the Green Party, I didn't see much effort. Instead, I organized an army to fight the Dornish people in the Scarlet Mountains. I didn't come out to pick peaches until the green and black battles were over and the losses were heavy."

Although we can't judge Storm's End's future team based on what hasn't happened yet.

Just like Rhaenila would not always believe that she has always been a loyal minister of the Long family because the nobles supported the original body, and did not pay attention to maintaining the relationship with the vassals.

She cannot preconceive how the Baratheon family will choose in the future.

But this can't change Rhaenila's determination to "reduce the vassal" - secretly weakening the strength of the vassals.

The River Bend and the Stormlands both border Dorne, but the threats faced by the former two are different. Due to its geographical advantages, the Stormlands take the upper hand in local frictions, and Dorne's army will not threaten the prosperity of its hinterland, which makes The Bucks can be more involved in power struggles.

So Rhaenyra set her sights on the Crowned Buck.

"The Royal Navy needs a lot of sailors, boatmen and craftsmen—there are many such talents in the Stormlands. After all, their ports are still strong and reliable despite the baptism of wind and rain. We need Duke Baratheon to contribute to the royal family."

Sea Minister Tai Lan nodded, agreeing to Rhaenyla's proposal, "The Duke of Beaumond loves Princess Rhaenys, and he definitely wants to share the pressure of Velaryon."

As long as it's not Lannister, Tyran doesn't mind showing favor to the royal family, which is called generosity.

"This..." The important officials in front of the imperial court squirmed their lips, but they had nothing to say—they were not close to the crowned stag.

"Baratheon?" King Viserys' expression was intriguing. Before he ascended the throne, Storm's End stood by his opponent. Now that Rhaenyla wants Beaumond to pay a price, it doesn't matter how he is biased. explain.

Seeing the king's acquiescence, all the ministers could only agree with the princess's proposal, who made Baratheon have no seat in the king's imperial meeting.

Letters from the Royal Council were sent to the Duke of Beaumond one by one.

The letters were tightly packed in his hands, and then loosened, causing wrinkles one after another. The atmosphere in the room was like the lingering lightning and storm outside the castle.

Like Baratheon in the past, Beaumond was an extremely burly and powerful man with black eyes and black hair.

A middle-aged man couldn't hold his breath, and was pacing up and down the room nervously. He knew that although his father in front of him was calm, his heart was turned upside down.

"Why did the storm suddenly come to enshrine craftsmen and sailors for the royal family?"

"Could it be that the royal family knew about us and Donne..." The middle-aged man stomped his feet, and the exquisite antique teacups on the long table were about to be overturned by the noise.

Bomond stretched out his hands to stabilize the long table, and looked at his son with dignity: "Don't panic!"

Beaumond was good at fighting, but his son Boros was even more savage.

Friar Eustace wrote:

Lord Beaumond is a rock, tough, strong, and determined.Lord Borros is like the wind, but his rage is ever-changing.

"We didn't treason, we just took some business routes. The fact that the Dornish people are enemies will never change."

Boros realized that he might have a guilty conscience, so he eased his impatience and sat down again.

"Could it be that someone said something bad about us in the imperial meeting, making Viserys think that we are ignorant of Tidehead!"

"After the naval battle of the Shijie Islands, everyone knows that the tidehead will be feared. As its supporters, we must bear the brunt of the impact!"

Why are they alone being dispatched by the royal family in a storm, while the northern border, Hejian and other places are not affected?
"The western border has contributed to the royal family. Although it was a helpless exchange of interests, the northern border also sent the Baigang family, and other vassals...can speak at the imperial meeting."

The disadvantage of no one in King's Landing is here, the meeting must be full of politicians who have fallen into trouble, I'm afraid they will laugh at the bad luck of Storm's End.

Beaumond looked into the distance from the wind and rain outside the window, which was the direction of King's Landing. Lightning flashed by, his eyes were loose, and he seemed to see a beautiful but dangerous smile on the girl sitting on the throne.

"House Targaryen, it's true."

That's right, a pure conspiracy to put pressure on Storm's End.

Now is not the alliance of the four wolves, fish, eagles and deer families during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion. If you are beaten alone, it has nothing to do with other vassals.

Rhaenyra chose a good time. Now Velaryon needs the royal family to fight the sea battle, and the other vassals have to clean up their own mess, and they have no time to deal with the storm that is eagerly targeted.

Even if Beaumond wants to seek help from others, he has to weigh whether he can withstand the iron fist of the royal family.

"Send what Viserys needs to King's Landing." Beaumond coughed heavily as if he had aged a few years.

"But!" Boros, who was impatient by nature, couldn't suppress his emotions and objected.

"I stood on the wrong side at the beginning, and now I have to pay the price." Bomond shook his head, "Now the rule of Viserys and his heirs is very stable. A blow to the head."

If Baratheon is not respectful, there are nobles who want to offer slander to win the favor of the royal family.
