I'm Going Both Ways On Game Of Thrones
Chapter 144 The death of the former Prime Minister
Boris smiled wryly, "Sir, I have five assistants under my command now, and I am also responsible for teaching Lena and them, and the hospital that is about to start treating patients, I am afraid I will be too busy,,, you better Or recruit more assistant bachelors or apprentices who can read and write as soon as possible!"
"Last time I heard that the city sent a bachelor to you to buy goods, didn't you tell the bachelor that you want to hire more assistant bachelors and apprentices?"
Mentioning this, Jason Liu is also helpless, "Of course, I have discussed this issue with Bachelor Angelo. Although the other party promised to promote the news of the employment for me in Xuecheng, but the north is too far from the old town, how many can come? I really don't know!"
Far away in the old town academy at the southernmost tip of Westeros continent, at this time, Bachelor Angelo obviously had no intention of helping Jason Liu to promote the hiring of assistant bachelors and apprentices. He just asked his assistant to help him take a walk in the academy. Fan news, put all the energy on the city of King's Landing.
Because more than ten days ago, Jon Arryn, Duke of Eagle's Nest City, the former Prime Minister of the Eastern Border City, died suddenly of illness, and King's Landing City was shaken.
On the other hand, the vacancy of the former Prime Minister's post has triggered many powerful and powerful ships.
I heard that Lord Mace Tyrell-, Duke of the Reach, has sent a letter to King's Landing, hoping to go to pay tribute to Lord Arryn, but he has not received a reply.
The Tyrell family has always been the supporter of the Targaryen family in the battle of the usurper, but the final battle has been decided and they have to surrender to King Robert. , do not trust at all.
In order to pacify the Seven Kingdoms war as soon as possible, and did not want to continue fighting, Robert reluctantly agreed to accept the allegiance and surrender of the Reach.
After sitting on the Iron Throne, although Robert became more and more playful, entrusting all the affairs of the government to the former Prime Minister Jon Arryn, and drinking and playing with women all day, he was still very sober when it came to the real affairs of the government. , of course, will not allow Mace-Tyrell to enter the court to hold power.
The Tyrell family is also very uncomfortable. They have been excluded from the center of power for so many years. As the party with the strongest territory, wealth and population among the Seven Kingdoms, they can only settle in the south and cannot enjoy the political influence that matches their strength. It's so hard for them!
In order to enter the power center of King's Landing, they even loaned King Robert millions of golden dragons without interest, but they still couldn't squeeze in.
King Robert, as well as the other dignitaries who had formed an alliance with the Baratheon family, were all afraid of the powerful Reach, and tacitly joined forces to exclude them from the kingdom's power.
Among them, Jon Arryn, the former Prime Minister of the Royal Kingdom and the Duke of Eagle's Nest City, who was the guardian of the eastern border, opposed the most fiercely.
After finally hearing that Jon Arryn died, the Tyrell family is of course extremely excited, feeling that their wish to extend the family's power into the power center of King's Landing is about to come true.
Taking it, King Robert did not hesitate to put out the glimmer of hope in the eyes of the Tyrell family.
It made them very depressed and helpless.
After all, the Tyrell family is nominally the lord of the Reach, but because more than 400 years ago, "Aegon Targaryen the Conqueror, in order to divide and disintegrate the Reach, the most powerful territory in Westeros, deliberately eradicated the river. The family of gardeners of the King of the Bay, supported the family of Tyrell, the housekeeper of the King of the Bay, to become the new Lord of the Bay.
Aegon Targaryen's strategy of differentiation apparently worked.
The Tyrell family with insufficient background suddenly turned into the lord of the Reach, which made the great nobles of the Reach willing to be convinced.
Although the Targaryen Dynasty did not dare to openly rebel against the majesty of the Targaryen Dynasty, the secret orders of the Tyrell family were also violated.
The successive kings of the Targaryen family were of course happy to see this situation, and there was no threat to the scattered sand in the Reach, so they deliberately made muddy mud between Tyrell and the princes of the Reach.
This has been going on for more than 400 years, and the Tyrell family reluctantly obtained the approval of two-thirds of the princes of the Reach Land through marriage, and still one-third regards themselves as noble and looks down on the Tyrell family as a nouveau riche. The nobles of the Reach continue to oppose secretly.
If Mace Tyrell - the center of power that once entered the kingdom, holds the power, Tyrell will allow the family to unify the power of the entire Reach more quickly.
A completely integrated river bay, whose territory, wealth and population combined are comparable to several other large territories, is definitely not what King Lao wants to see.
Although they hated the Targaryen family, Robert and the Targaryen family agreed on the policy of disintegrating the Reach.
The Reach must not be brought together again!
Because of the sudden death of the former Prime Minister, the undercurrent of power in King's Landing was turbulent, and even spread to the Academy City in the old town, because it was reported that His Majesty King Robert, the Grand Scholar Pycelle, who was assigned to the Academy City, failed to cure him. I am very dissatisfied with my adoptive father and important minister.
Robert also knew very well that the death of Jon Arryn, who was almost ninety years old, should not be too much of a blame for Grandmaster Pycelle, but after drinking a little wine, he naturally didn't think about it when he got angry. Maester Seale didn't cure Jon Arryn, that's his incompetence!
As a result, the drunken scoldings of these kings were passed on to the Xuecheng side, making the Xuecheng a little uncertain about the true attitude of this greedy and lecherous king.
Dissenting opinions also began to arise within the city, and some people began to propose to recall the Grand Scholar Pychel and choose a more capable Grand Scholar to go to King's Landing to assist him.
So the thing about power is sometimes really scary!
When it comes to the positions of important ministers and scholars in the dynasty, scholars who are committed to academic research are not exempt. Many people hope that they can enter the power center of King's Landing and govern state affairs in their lifetime!
In King's Landing at night, although the low and crowded houses in the city are dark, the mansions belonging to powerful families are brightly lit.
After the death of the former Prime Minister of the Royal Family, this high position of absolute power under one person and above ten thousand people has attracted the covetousness of many nobles.
All the great nobles who are aspiring to compete for the position of Prime Minister will have banquets every day in their mansions.
For a time, the entire King's Landing City has become a stage for ambitious people.
