Game of Thrones: I became a crown prince for a day

"Your Majesty, I do not agree with this matter."

While Leonor was hesitating, Linman Bisbury, who was sitting on the side near the door, raised his hand to express his gratitude.

The old man from Beehive City frowned and spoke slowly and logically: "At the beginning of the establishment of the kingdom, there was no precedent of advance payment from the treasury. It is not in compliance with the rules."

Over fifty, his thinking has gradually slowed down, but his political sensitivity is still outstanding.

First, put the dignity of the court first.

After hearing the advice that was in line with his heart, Viserys smiled in his eyes: "Lord Linman makes sense."

Leonor hesitated and said: "However, if the treasury is not advanced, the construction progress of the prince's palace will be delayed."

He took out a raven message from his arms and placed it on the conference table.

The letter made it clear that several nobles had suffered losses and it would be difficult to provide building materials.

The words between the lines are full of excuses and prayers.

Viserys said displeased: "Can't it be rotated to other noble families first?"

"Well……"

Leonor was speechless for a moment.

Otto was no longer silent and reminded in a subtle way: "Your Majesty, the noble families who provided the construction have encountered disasters inland, and the noble families on the coast are afraid..."

What he meant was obvious.

This matter implies something dirty. Someone is deliberately causing trouble, and it cannot be solved by rotating several noble families.

Viserys was not a fool, and he naturally felt that the vassals of the Stormlands were not helpless towards the court.

He thought to himself: "Malicious provocation."

He did not rush to express his position. He turned his eyes to the ministers and asked tentatively: "According to your opinion, how should the court respond?"

Even if he has a plan, he still wants to listen to the public opinion.

"Your Majesty, Stormland did encounter a natural disaster some time ago. Maybe we can investigate carefully."

Without waiting for Leonor and Otto's suggestion, Minister of Justice Jaspi spoke quickly.

Jaspie has curly black hair, a strong and stylish beard, and a square face that is very serious.

Leonor disagreed and questioned: "A thorough investigation is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The court should directly issue an order to hold people accountable."

It's a matter of honor for the imperial court, and I've been searching for it for a while, but I still have no clue.

Jaspi crossed his arms and said with a smile: "The nobles of the Stormlands have always been loyal to the court. You can ask Duke Boros to investigate this matter."

"Duke Bolos has just taken office not long ago, and I'm afraid he won't be able to manage many things." Leonor's face was sullen, and his words were full of resistance.

Things have gone wrong in the Stormlands, and the Baratheon family is primarily responsible.

Let Boros investigate, it's just a thief calling for a thief.

Jaspi looked calm and tried to cover it up: "Lord Leonor, there are difficulties everywhere. Power is unpopular."

Hearing this, Leonor's complexion changed slightly, and anger surged in his heart.

Jaspie's full name is Jaspie Wilder.

The Wilder family's fiefdom is Rainhouse City, located in Cape Wrath in the Stormlands, and is loyal to the Baratheon family.

The honor in his heart made Leonor unwilling to back down and gritted his teeth: "Lord Jaspie, I have reason to suspect that you have selfish motives to defend your title."

As soon as this was said, the conference hall fell into silence.

Melos and Linman raised their heads and looked at Leonor in surprise.

From the bottom of my heart, I didn't expect this amiable-looking Prime Minister to be so resolute and decisive.

Otto looked calm and was habitually taciturn.

boom--

Jaspi stood up and argued with a red face: "Lord Leonor, you and I are both ministers of the imperial court. You are not only insulting me, you are also insulting you."

Leonor had a straight face, unmoved.

Just when he was about to say something in reply, someone couldn't hold back before he did.

Dang clang——

A stone ball fell on the card slot and fell into it.

The sound was crisp and clear, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Rhaenyra, who had been silent all this time, slowly stood up and stroked the pleated hem of her skirt. Her bright eyes were a little cold: "Lord Jaspie, the excuses of the Stormland nobles are visible to the naked eye. Is it really necessary to conduct a thorough investigation?"

"Maybe there's something hidden in it."

Facing the aggressive princess, Jaspie was frightened and still arguing.

Duke Boros sent him a letter a few days ago, clearly stating that he did not have enough control over his vassals and hoped that he would take care of him in the court.

To this end, Bolos will marry a daughter to his son, and the two families will marry.

"Lord Jaspie, your reasons are not sufficient."

Rhaenyra's willow eyebrows stood up, her pretty face showing sullenness: "This incident is a test of the court's bottom line by the local nobles, and a stern warning should be given."

Affecting the construction progress of the prince's palace is a blatant slap in the face of the royal family.

Rhaegar was not in King's Landing, so she still had to express her attitude.

Jasper was speechless, and it took him a long time to say: "Even so, this matter has little to do with Duke Boros."

"Humph, you take it for granted."

Rhaenyra didn't give him a good look and said word by word: "At Lord Bomond's funeral, Aegon and Daemon disrupted the order and angered Duke Boros. This matter spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms."

Unlike ministers who pay attention to their words, she tells the truth in one word.

The thin window paper was torn, and the contents of the parliament were suddenly revealed.

Jaspie was speechless and sat down angrily.

Leonor took over the conversation and said in a deep voice: "The cause of the matter was Duke Boros. He has great opinions on the royal family."

This was what he wanted to say from the beginning, and it made him feel depressed.

"As for Bolos's problem, it's better to call him to King's Landing and let His Majesty personally rebuke him."

Linman was the first to make suggestions, which were reasonable and well-founded.

The matter involved the Duke of the First Realm, Viserys was greatly troubled, and he didn't want to do anything to offend others.

She looked at her angry daughter and comforted her: "Rhaenyla, please sit down first and listen to the opinions of the ministers."

Rhaenyra pursed her lips and sat down peacefully with her hands on her belly.

After all, she couldn't completely replace Rhaegar, and it was not easy to open up the topic.

The ministers saw the king's indecision and did not want to tear him apart.

After discussing quietly for a while, Otto knocked on the table and said deeply: "Your Majesty, the problem lies in the conflict between the Targaryen and Baratheon families. We might as well start from this aspect."

"What can be done?" Viserys asked doubtfully.

He recognized Otto's wisdom very much.

Otto was very calm, glanced at Allison, and said with a smile: "Prince Aegon is not engaged yet. I heard that Duke Boros has four daughters. The two parties can get married again to maintain the harmony of the two families."

It’s a cliché idea, but it’s the mainstream approach in mainland China.

Viserys's eyes lit up and he began to think carefully.

Being able to win over the Baratheon family through marriage is always more beneficial than causing conflict.

The other ministers fell into thinking after hearing this and had different ideas about this proposal.

Leonor's beard on his chin trembled, feeling something was wrong.

He is a die-hard supporter of the crown prince.

The marriage between the king's second son and a powerful nobleman is acceptable, but the marriage with the Baratheon family with evil intentions may have twists and turns.

After thinking about it, I finally had no objection.

Royal marriages should not be interfered with by court ministers.

Just when the ministers thought that the king would agree to the proposal, an unexpected man stood up and objected.

Allison frowned, looked at his father Otto displeased, and took a deep breath: "I have discussed with His Majesty that Aegon will marry Helena and will not marry an outsider."

"The Imperial Council is not aware of this matter."

Otto looked indifferent and said indifferently: "Besides, there is nothing wrong with Prince Aegon marrying the daughter of the Baratheon family. It will be of great help to win over the Stormlands."

"I am the mother of the child and I disagree."

Allison refused verbally, turned to look at her husband, and said sincerely: "Viserys, you know Helena's situation. She is not suitable for foreign marriage."

Out of mother's selfishness, she did not want her son to marry either of her daughters.

Especially Helena's nagging look. She wanted to keep her daughter by her side.

Viserys was filled with embarrassment and said softly: "Allison, I don't think there is anything wrong with Helena. What we are discussing now is Aegon's marriage."

He and his wife did discuss their children's marriages privately.

Rhaegar and Rhaenyra had already decided, and Allison set his sights on Aegon and Helena.

He supports maintaining traditional family marriages, which not only keeps the bloodline pure, but also strengthens the family.

But as far as the Duke is concerned, this matter can be put aside.

Taking a step back, he has more than one son, and Helena has more than one brother.

After hearing enough of her husband's perfunctory behavior, Allison felt upset and exploded: "Anyway, I don't agree. My child's marriage must be decided by me."

His eyes turned and fell on his father Otto across the round table.

Allison gritted his teeth secretly, intending to give a warning, but he did not dare to disobey his father.

After thinking for a while, he made an excuse: "Aegon and Daemon were the ones who disrupted the funeral. Rhaegar was also present. It's better to wait for Rhaegar to come back and discuss it together."

In her mind, Rhaegar would definitely not agree to Aegon's marriage to the daughter of the Duke of One Realm.

In this way, she can legitimately leave behind a pair of children.

Speaking of Rhaegar, Viserys was stunned for a moment and asked: "Rhaegar has been out for a long time. Has there been a message about when Rhaegar will be back?"

"I've been away for a few months, so I think I'll be here soon." Rhaenyra responded quickly.

Viserys looked around, his eyes resting on his wife and Otto for a moment, and said in deep thought: "In that case, let's wait until Rhaegar comes back to discuss it together."

There was a dispute over the marriage, and it was difficult to distinguish clearly at the current meeting.

It won't be long, so I might as well wait for Rhaegar to come back and get some advice.

"I'm going to find the children and take my leave now."

The idea succeeded, and Allison left in a hurry, full of anxiety.

Rhaenyla thought for a moment, picked up the stone ball in the tuck, and said seriously: "Boros disrespects the royal family, so let's wait until Rhaegar comes back to discuss a solution."

She doesn't care who marries whom, and repeatedly emphasizes the faults of House Baratheon.

The imperial meeting came to an end.

The ministers stood up one after another, bowed and left

Rhaenyra walked back to the palace with her father, intending to return to her own chamber.

"your Highness."

After taking two steps, Archmaester Melos's muffled voice came from behind.

Rhaenyra's heart skipped a beat, and she looked back and asked, "Is there any news about Rhaegar?"

"A letter from Volantis, three red dragon seals."

Melos lowered his head and took out an envelope from his arms, his bald forehead shining a little.
