Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day

Chapter 289 The conflict between the Hightowers and his daughter (new chapter)

 “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 hands in a gesture.

This 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 line with the rules."

As he turned fifty, his thinking gradually slowed down, but his political sensitivity was still outstanding.

 Put the dignity of the court first.

Hearing the suggestion that suited his heart, Viserys smiled in his eyes: "What Lord Linman said 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 was difficult to provide building materials.

Jaspie's full name is Jaspie Wilder.

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?"

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

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

Jaspi looked calm and covered it up: "Lord Leonor, there are difficulties everywhere, and power alone is unpopular."

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

Duke Boros sent him a letter a few days ago. He clearly stated that he had insufficient control over his vassals and hoped that he would take care of him in the court.

 Asking Boros to investigate is simply a thief calling for a thief.

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

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

Just when he was about to say a few words in reply, someone couldn't help it before he did.

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."

The fiefdom of House Wilder is Rainhouse City, located in Cape Wrath in the Stormlands, and is loyal to House Baratheon.

 His meaning is obvious.

 Leonor had a straight face, unmoved.

Leonor did not agree and questioned: "A thorough investigation is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The court should directly issue an order to hold people accountable."

From the bottom of my heart, I didn’t expect this amiable-looking prime minister to be so tough and decisive.

Viserys is not a fool, and he naturally feels that the vassals of the Stormlands are not helpless towards the court.

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

"Well…"

 “Perhaps there is something hidden in it.”

 Leonor was speechless for a moment.

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

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

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."

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

Otto has a calm face and is habitually taciturn.

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

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

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

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

boom-

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

Without waiting for Leono and Otto, the Minister of Justice Jaspi quickly said.

 He thought to himself: "Malicious provocation."

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

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

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

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

As soon as these words came out, the conference hall fell into silence.

 The Baratheon family is primarily responsible for changes in the Stormlands.

 “Lord Jaspie, your reasons are not sufficient.”

Rhaenyra's 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."

 It affects the construction progress of the prince's palace, which 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."

 “Hmph, you take it too much for granted.”

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

Different from ministers who pay attention to their words, she told the truth in one word.

 The thin window paper was torn, and the contents of the parliament suddenly became clear.

Jaspie was speechless and sat down angrily. Leonor took over the conversation and said in a deep voice: "The cause of the matter is still the Duke of Boros, who has great opinions on the royal family."

 This is what he wanted to say from the beginning, and he felt depressed because of it.

“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 well-founded.

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

He looked at his angry daughter and comforted her: "Rhaenyra, 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.

 She cannot completely replace Rhaegar after all, and it is not easy to open up the topic.

 The ministers saw the king's indecision and did not want to quarrel with him.

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 is a commonplace idea, but it is the mainstream method in mainland China.

 Viserys’s eyes lit up and he began to make serious calculations.

 The benefits of being able to win over the Baratheon family through marriage are greater than causing conflicts.

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

 The beard on Leonor's chin trembled, feeling that 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.

 Thinked about it for a while, but finally had no refutation.

  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 person stood up and objected.

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

 “The Imperial Council was not aware of this matter.”

Otto looked indifferent and said unconcernedly: "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 child’s mother 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 the 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 for a long time.

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 marriage privately.

Rhaegar and Rhaenyra had already settled, and Allison turned his attention to Aegon and Helena.

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

  But as far as the Duke of the same realm is concerned, this matter can be left alone.

Ten thousand steps back, he has more than one son, and Helena has more than one brother.

Allison heard enough of her husband's perfunctory behavior. She felt angry and burst out: "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.

 Thought for a while and 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 the First Realm.

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

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

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

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

 There is a dispute over the marriage, and it is 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, Allison was full of anxiety and left in a hurry.

Rhaenyra 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 the Baratheon family.

 The Imperial Council has come 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."

Having just taken two steps, the muffled voice of Grand Bachelor Melos 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.”

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