104 The Judgment of the Seven Sons (27)
Royal Guard Raymont Baratheon obviously would not realize what would happen in specific things. He and Lan Li said that the news was just to inform him not to make "tearing votes". After that, he was ready to leave directly.
However, Lan Li suddenly stopped him and slowly asked under the other party's vigilant gaze: "What do you think is the reason why Queen Mother Visania did this."
"The Queen Mother hopes that her son Meg will inherit the Iron Throne, not Prince Aegon." Although he feels that Renly is an enemy, not a friend, Raymont Baratheon still answers: "She has always hoped that Prince Meg will be awarded the title of Prince of Dragon Stone, but His Majesty did not do what she wished, so their relationship was very stale."
There seems to be no need to keep this matter confidential, so although it belongs to the royal guard, this person has no worries when talking about this.
"So how likely do you think she is to succeed?"
"She won't succeed."
The Imperial Guard said without hesitation: "Prince Aegon is His Majesty's legal heir, not Meg."
"Your Prince Aegon is currently trapped in the river by the church people." Lanli reminded: "When he knows the news, it may be too late."
In history, Prince Aegon was also besieged during a marriage tour, but the trapped place was in the West rather than the Hejian area. Obviously, this matter was deviated for some reason... When Lan Li thought of this, he subconsciously flashed through the attack he had encountered in Hejian area, but he didn't think about it much, because the conversation was still continuing.
"That's why I'm going to inform His Highness."
Raymont Baratheon said, frowned and said, "What is the purpose of telling me about this?"
Ramley did not answer his question positively, but answered the question irrelevantly: "What do you think is the most direct way to resolve the conflict with the church?"
"Burn them all to death with dragon flames."
This straightforward words made Lan Li speechless, and then hurriedly said, "Don't you know what happened to Dorn at the beginning? Although Long Yan will make some people surrender, it will also make more people rebellious."
When the other party heard this, Lan Li said, "The Conqueror Aegon used three dragons to conquer the huge Targaryen dynasty. It seemed very majestic, but few people noticed that after the establishment of the dynasty, Aegon spent his whole life to patrol the dragon and shock the lords of various places, and finally consolidated this new kingdom. Even so, there are still people in Westeros who missed the era when the seven kingdoms were united. Now, you will use dragon flames to stimulate them, which will only plant the seeds of division. Don't you know that open means are easy to avoid, but cold arrows in secret are difficult to guard against?"
"What does the jazz think of the solution to the church's problems?" asked the middle-aged man with a beard under his cloak. He could hear that Lan Li had other purposes, but he was also very interested in this issue.
"Martial contest trial."
Lanli replied: "No matter how serious your sin is or there is no reason, a martial arts judgment is enough to clear you of any injustice. The church preaches that there will be the power of the gods in the judgment, and the gods will only win the justice side. In fact, this is ridiculous, but everyone thinks so. So, if you win in the martial arts judgment, will the church be contrary to the judgment of the gods?"
"So you think His Highness should use a martial arts contest to get rid of the siege of the church?"
These words made Lan Li stunned, and then he felt that the mind of this blood ancestor was really a bit rigid.
"He may think of using this, or you inform him of doing this, but it's too late, and the church may not accept it." Lanli shook his head and said, "Twins are far away from King's Landing. After you get there, Queen Visania has long crowned Meg."
The other party retorted after hearing this: "This is impossible. His Highness Aegon is the real heir to the Iron Throne. Megg was crowned without authorization, and no lord would obey him."
"Megg is the son of Aegon, the conqueror, and the Aegon you mentioned is only his grandson." Lanli replied.
"And King Inis is weak and incompetent, and his offspring is hard to guarantee a tough character. Meghe, on the contrary, do you think those lords who have had enough of the rule of the weak kings would hope to inherit the Iron Throne? Or do those lords who miss the old era hope to honestly surrender to the orthodox king, or join the other side and let the Targaryen family have a dog-biting dog?"
This is a nonsense, and there is no record of history books, but he took it out at this time to fool the other party, and he didn't care whether there was any evidence. Anyway, it sounded like that.
"The Iron Throne is not what they hope to be able to sit on." The Royal Guard replied, but his tone was different from the beginning.
"Otherwise? Can you sit on the Iron Throne with those illusory principles and rules?"
Lan Li, a family member of the usurper, has a strong say in this, but he did not explain this much, but changed the subject.
"When His Majesty Inis died of illness, it is very likely that Meg was on the Iron Throne, but the biggest problem he faced was not the inheritance order you mentioned, but the church. After all, Meg's bigamy incident was first, and the first wife was the niece of the archbishop. The church was the most hostile to him."
He said, "So we go back to the topic just now, how can we solve the trouble caused by the church, or, how can we make the church temporarily put down our weapons and not immediately resist the new king?"
"A martial arts trial?"
"Yes, Meg will definitely do this, and even if he didn't expect that Queen Mother Visania would have thought of using judgment to promote the legitimacy of her son's inheritance of the Iron Throne, and to temporarily calm the church down."
The other party did not speak again after hearing this, nor did he refute anything, but fell into deep thought. Obviously, he actually had some guesses about the future situation of Mei Ge's succession to the throne, but he was never willing to admit it in his heart.
The light of dusk gradually subsided. Two people in a small alley on the side of the King of the Fishermen's Square stood face to face, one lowered his head and thought, while the other was waiting quietly.
Not long after, the bearded Baratheon looked up at Renly.
"What's the purpose of these?"
"As a Royal Guard, you have a special status. I suggest you find someone to inform you of Prince Aegon, and you stay in King's Landing." Lanli said: "When Meg was crowned and challenged those who opposed his rule, you must stand up and resist him in the name of Prince Aegon."
"Why?"
"Of course it is for Prince Aegon's throne."
"If it really develops according to your guess, why don't I wait until Megre fights with the church before I talk?"
"What else do you do in this way? If Megg wins the trial, it means that his inheritance has been legalized. If he loses, do you think that as the victorious party, the church will honestly negotiate with your Prince Aegon?"
The other party didn't say anything, and Lan Li said again: "When Meg's side launches a challenge, you will face the challenge again, so Meg's will have no room for rejection. If you win this judgment, it will be equivalent to resolving the division of the royal family, and the church will somewhat recognize the impact of the judgment. If Meg's side refuses to execute it after you win, it will be equivalent to ignoring the judgment of the gods. In this way, you will have the opportunity to win the church over to Prince Aegon. This is a good thing."
"It sounds like that." The other party nodded after hearing this, and then said calmly: "It's a pity that I have a great chance of failure."
Lan Li smiled at this and then expressed her true purpose.
