Game of Thrones: The Strongest Guoguang

Chapter 17

The Blackwater River flows quietly. It is a large river that nourishes King's Landing with a population of 10. Boats on the river come and go, and they all have the same destination.

At present, the food in the city is still sufficient, and the treasury is still full. The ships brought everything the princess needs from the nobles. This is her right and her responsibility.

"Brother Ramos, although the work of King's Landing City is not unlimited, my plan is a long-term work. For example, after the road is built and the shacks are dealt with, the port also needs to be repaired by an engineering team. This is a difficult task. task."

"Take it seriously, you will be one of the indispensable candidates for my imperial council ministers in the future, I hope we can get along well with each other as monarchs and ministers."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Rhaenila is making a wish, but most people like it, especially Ramos, who was looked down upon by high-level figures in the city and was almost kicked out. .

How to mobilize so many poor people in King's Landing actually made Rhaenila struggle. She believes that if she solves these problems, she will gain the trust and support of these people. In the future, there will be no dragon slayer Come to instigate riots, nothing can be stirred up.

To master and mobilize the masses faster than the enemy, Rhaenyla's idea was exactly this.

Brother Ramos quickly returned to his post, but his heart was fluctuating.What this young princess wants to do, how to put it, is not the same as what other nobles want to do.

Her great-grandfather, her grandfather, and even her father didn't think of the poor in King's Landing, but she noticed and worked tirelessly for it. "Princess" is really not fake.

-

In the Red Castle, His Majesty the King has also been very puzzled recently.

On weekdays, the aristocratic ladies in other families are all enjoying flowers and gardens, holding tea parties, doing needlework... the wild girls in my family used to like to sneak out and ride dragons and fly the most. Up and down?

The normal noble lady saw the ragged, blue-faced commoner.It would explode if you look at it too much, let the handsome knight next to you support yourself to prevent yourself from fainting, so as not to damage your noble image, in fact, you can't wait for the golden robe to kill them.

But my own daughter ran to eat with the workers, and she didn't even see anyone for a few days, so she sent someone to ask, only saying that she was dealing with government affairs, why, is a crown prince busier than a serious king like me?

King Viserys I was a little annoyed thinking about this, but he was actually very busy himself. It is said that the Kingdom of the Third Daughter was united with the pirates on the Stepstone Islands. Besides, there were conflicts between nobles and nobles that required him to come Mediation, territorial disputes also involve him...

He punished Otto Hightower in order to strengthen Rhaenyra's prestige.

But in fact, he didn't have much anger in his heart. Like his grandfather, King Renrui, and like his father, he was an enlightened king who was loved by nobles.

Even enlightened to the point of being a little indulgent...

This has something to do with his policy of treating the interests of the nobles well, so he was able to continue his great-grandfather's peaceful rule and the kingdom was able to recuperate.

The king must tolerate the mistakes made by the great nobles, and even compromise a little from time to time. This is the first thing the king on the Iron Throne learns.

Neither he nor his great-grandfather was a king like "Maegor the Cruel", who could fight bloody battles with his enemies for his royal power.

Viserys saw nothing wrong with it, because it was always a game of power to secure a seat in the Seven Kingdoms.

But daughter Rhaenyra was not like any Targaryen lord...

Viserys was still angry with Rhaenyla. His own daughter was usually good, except when her mother died.

Oh, Emma, ​​if only you were still here.You can take care of her too...

Thinking of this, Viserys slapped his hands. The queen's death was a scar for him, and he felt a dull pain in his heart when he recalled it from time to time.

Sigh, forget it, in fact Rhaenila is already very good. The daughters of my grandfather are all enemies with my father. They are very rebellious. Fortunately, my daughter is still obedient and did not do anything that would damage the face of the royal family. .

For example, the white knight Christon Cole, he knew that Rhaenyla had a crush on him, but firmly believed that Rhaenyla knew how to measure and would not do anything that would shame the royal family.

This is his daughter, she has the same pride in her heart as him, a real dragon.

"Your Majesty, Cole is here to see you." A message came from the guard from outside the door

"Let him in" "Yes"

Christon Cole walked in with a bitter face, followed by Rhaenyla's maid Yili.

"Your Majesty!" Yili saluted and greeted
Immediately, he took out dewdrop-covered apples, plums and other fruits of various colors from the fruit basket, put them on a plate, and put them on the table in front of Viserys I.

Yili waited until she was done before she spoke, "His Royal Highness ordered me to send it from the residence.

This morning, farmers from outside the city came to the city to sell fruit. The princess bought some and put them in the well all morning. Now is the most refreshing time.

She asked me to give it to you, and said that she was very sorry for not being able to spend more time with her father..."

Unlike Viserys' gloomy mood, Christon Cole still had that bitter face.

Every time he stays with Rhaenyla, the princess will send him out, such as an overseer, to suppress riots, and when he finishes his work, when he returns to the princess mansion, Rhaenyla will send him to the Red Castle coming…

As if deliberately avoiding him, Christon Cole sighed insignificantly.

Although it was said that he valued his performance, the white knight still felt weird, but he couldn't explain why.

-
Also puzzled by Rhaenyla is good friend Alison Hightower.

She hadn't seen Rhaenyla for a long time. According to the maid in the Red Castle, Rhaenyla was very busy and had been dealing with government affairs in King's Landing.

This is different from the Rhaenila in her memory, the girl who told herself about her girlish feelings, and the little girl who has been discussing Nymeria with herself, seems to have been reborn from blood and fire, and she can't see the shadow of the past.

Although I have been approaching her with a purpose, I never thought that the two of them would start to drift away...

Otto Hightower is also very worried about Alison recently. His daughter is a noble lady with a good reputation and looks like a normal noble lady. She never disobeys her father.I like to enjoy flowers and gardens, have tea parties, do needlework, and when I see civilians in ragged clothes and blue faces, I will explode if I look at them more, so I let the guards around me protect myself...

But she didn't complete the task that she had given her.

Otto Hightower did not mention Alison's marriage to any nobleman. This is the jewel in his palm, and it is also the face of the low-key old nobleman of the Hightower family in the River Bend for thousands of years. Lian married and married his precious daughter to this "prodigal prince". In his opinion, this was a very valuable alliance, but he didn't expect Daemon Targaryen, a fool, to refuse without hesitation. It seemed that he looked down on the women of the Hightower family.

This is his humiliation to Hightower. Otto Hightower was once furious, so he persuaded his father to marry a brave female lord in the valley, and repeatedly targeted him after Viserys I succeeded to the throne. From the repeated setbacks of the Minister of Justice, Minister of Finance and other positions, and finally can only be the commander of the King's Landing Garrison, until recently, get out of King's Landing in despair...

Otto Hightower felt that this was his glorious record.

Daemon Targaryen doesn't think much of me, that's what he deserved.

It stands to reason that Hightower should be happy that political enemies get out of King's Landing.

But Otto Hightower was grounded by the king and temporarily removed from the Hand of the King as a punishment.

Water dripped from the gloomy face, but immediately, Otto Hightower seemed to think of something happy

Heh heh, I heard from the eyeliner that Damon's evil seed is about to be born, so I'll wait patiently to see how you guys fight each other... Targaryen.

As for daughter Alison, Otto Hightower had already thought about it.

There should be a queen in High Tower, and the successor position is vacant. Even if the daughters of the great nobles are not moved by this, they still know what they have to do for the family. sign up.

He said to Alison Hightower in a dark tone,
"My daughter, you should realize your value. Hightower needs your courage. Go and become a member of the royal family, and be the most honorable woman in the Seven Kingdoms!"

"Yes, father," Allison replied humbly, she still listened to her father's arrangement, even though it was a road of no return.

She has officially graduated from the League of Worried Fathers!
