Chapter 469
"Quick?"
"I don't think it's fast."
And Viserys paused slightly when he heard Jon Clinton's excited and worried words, and then slowly spoke.
"Families, fiefs, self-government, such systems have continued in Westeros for thousands or even tens of thousands of years."
"Such a system has spawned never-ending wars, with big lords fighting against big lords, and small lords fighting against small lords. The productivity is lagging behind, and the common people are struggling to live, which seriously hinders the development of society and the progress of civilization."
"Aegon unified the Seven Kingdoms, but only nominally brought these families together, ending the constant melee."
Before Aegon united the Seven Kingdoms, a protracted war broke out in this land.
However, the Seven Kingdoms have been established for such a long time, and there was also public opposition when they were just unified.
There were even repeated assassinations, but with the passage of time, people gradually realized the benefits of unity.
However, Aegon's unification was only limited in appearance, and it seemed that it had become a unified kingdom, but in fact, there were still deep divisions in various parts of the family, and they were still dominated by their own.
And what Viserys has to do now is to truly unify Westeros.
So his first step is to violently destroy every 'high wall' they have built.
"The city-states of Essos were transformed earlier than Westeros."
"Jon, you have lived here for so many years, and I believe you can already feel it."
Jon Clinton nodded slightly when he heard the words. The atmosphere on the Essos continent is relatively open. Each city-state has its own system, which is almost a situation where a hundred schools of thought contend.
This also resulted in the economic strength and military level of each of their independent city-states being on average higher than the cities on Westeros.
Relatively speaking, Westeros is stubborn, conservative, and uncivilized. There are many families that have been inherited for thousands of years, and there are even families that have been inherited for tens of thousands of years.
"And now is the best chance."
"With the help of the already chaotic situation, the old order will be completely smashed."
"A window is broken anyway, so it's better to smash it completely."
It wasn't Viserys who said that, it was Jon Clinton.
He thought about it, and seemed to have some idea of what Viserys was trying to do.
Anyway, because of the White Walkers invasion and the war of conquest, Westeros has become a mess. It is better to take this opportunity to solve all the problems in one go. If you wait until everything calms down, you want to solve the unresolved problems. Just trouble.
However, although Jon Clinton was persuaded by Viserys, his heart couldn't help but be overwhelmed, because this was a major event destined to go down in history in Westeros, but he still had a question at the end, and he couldn't help but ask .
"Your Majesty, what do you want?"
"what do you want?"
And Viserys frowned when he heard Jon Clinton's question.
"In addition to power, status, and wealth, what else do you want in this world?"
The King's Hand opened his mouth and was speechless for a while. He wanted to say that there were still women, but he thought that this young and handsome His Majesty the King did not seem to lack women, so he swallowed the words.
"In the beginning I just wanted to protect Renice and Dany and survive."
"When I have the ability to protect them later, I want to take back the Iron Throne."
"People's ambitions grow without limits."
Viserys said jokingly.
"Would you believe it if I said I wanted to rebuild the Valyrian Empire and claim the Holy Valyrian Emperor?"
In the early morning sun, the medal of the King's Hand on the chest of the gray-red-haired man reflected light slightly, and then he was stunned when he saw the expression on his face, and then slowly opened his mouth.
"just kidding."
However, the silver-haired youth shook his head, reached out and twisted down a delicate flower in the garden.
The spring breeze is floating, and the flowers are blooming.
An old black cat was running over with a butterfly, and then saw Viserys as if he saw some big devil, and hurriedly hid away.
"Where's west of Westeros?"
Jon Clinton slowly got out of the shock just now, and then he heard Viserys' question, thought carefully and said.
"It seems to be an endless sea, just like the Sothros continent is an endless land, Your Majesty."
People have not explored the end of the Sothros continent, and they also do not know what is on the other side of the Sunset Sea.
Is it the Water Palace of the Drowned God?
Or did the Red God take away the sunset and then send it to tomorrow's place?
"Nobody knows."
Jon Clinton shook his head slightly.
"This is where all maps end."
"Maybe one day when I'm free, I'll try to ride the dragon to the end of the world."
Viserys quietly watched the escaped back of the old black cat that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Then the flower folded in his hand was given to a beautiful little maid who passed by, causing the other party to blush.
Viserys stopped briefly at Pentos, but did not rest for a few days, and then boarded the dragon and flew to King's Landing.
The world gives everyone a lot of restrictions.
After all, human beings are originally social animals, and the structure of human society is a pyramid shape from top to bottom. Even though the willful His Majesty the King went out for a walk for a while, he still had to return to King's Landing to deal with many things he briefly escaped.
The figure of the black dragon covering the sky and the sun appeared in the sky above the Black Water Bay, causing the nobles in the Red Fort to panic for a while.
In the fishermen's square in the mud door, there was even a frightened animal that knocked over the fish basket, and the fresh big fish jumped all over the floor, and then was looted. Only the fishmonger sat alone on the ground crying without tears. .
"This black dragon is much bigger than the bronze dragon of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."
The eunuch with a bright head was wearing a robe, his hands were folded in his sleeves, and he looked up at the sky and said.
"Rego. Is that the name?"
"Every time I mention this name, it always reminds me of the much-anticipated silver prince, but unfortunately he failed everyone's expectations."
"Rego is like a 'little baby' in front of the Black Death."
Leaning on the railing, Varys spoke sarcastically, seemingly talking to himself.
"really."
And there was a response from the railing of the Red Fort tower.
'Little Devil' Tyrion Lannister's height was too low, so he could only open his mouth under the railing.
"Otherwise, how could His Majesty repel those terrifying White Walkers."
"Why did the tens of thousands of coalition forces collapse all the way from Twin Rivers to Riverrun, and there is no room for resistance."
Although Tyrion does not have a specific position now, everyone knows that after receiving the recommendation of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, Tyrion will surely flourish in the future.
As the Iron Throne Intelligence Minister Varys still maintains his original position.
Reness did not make drastic changes to the Imperial Council, and Maester Pycelle resigned not long ago and wanted to leave King's Landing and return to the academy, but was detained.
The reason is that someone stabbed him out for what he had done, and every one of them was enough to put him to death.
