Chapter 480

Viserys then visited the tombs of the kings beneath the Basilica of Baelor, where successive Targaryen kings, queens, queens, and princes are buried.

'Kingdom Light' Rhaenyra Targaryen I.

"Dragon Bane" Aegon III Targaryen.

Aegon IV Targaryen 'Yong'.

"The Good King" Daeron II Targaryen.

In the end, Viserys' footsteps came to the coffin of his father, in name or just physically, the last king of the former Targaryen dynasty, Aerys II Targaryen the Mad King.

"I heard. My father's favorite thing is to watch scenes of burning people."

"Look at how their skin scorched black and blistered, melted and fell off their bones. He could burn unsatisfactory vassals, burn disobedient prime ministers, and burn anyone who disobeyed him."

Viserys' voice rang out in the empty church basement, the female knight only felt a little horrified when she heard the words in Viserys' mouth, and the palace chief and the fat archbishop were silent and naturally did not dare to take Viserys' words.

"Don't worry, right is right, wrong is wrong."

"My brother also often calls him the 'Mad King'."

Although Viserys came to visit the coffin of Aerys II, he did not stop at the tomb of his 'father' for too long. On the contrary, he stopped at the tomb of his brother Rhaegar for a long time, and then took a copy of his life. Funeral books left behind.

Because of the burial of the kings of the past, the underground world of Baelor Cathedral also stores a large number of expensive vestments, rings, crystal crowns, and other church properties.

Viserys watched all the way, but didn't say much. When he was on the ground, he suddenly said casually that the church's assets seemed to be more abundant than the national treasury, and suddenly the fat archbishop was sweating profusely.

You must know that although this man is very popular among the common people, he is a complete killer among the nobles. Since the Targaryen army landed in Westeros alone, I don’t know how many nobles have been raided by the whole family. Just know.

He really knows how to kill people with a knife, and he doesn't care about the bullshit rules and the Church of the Seven Gods. He has cut the roots of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms first. What else is there that he dare not do when he touches the interests of all the nobles?

Ordinary believers are not aware of it, but his coronation ceremony was changed from Baelor Cathedral to the throne room of the Red Keep, which is enough to show that Viserys was not so tolerant of the church.

The decision of His Majesty the King was not without opposition, but where did the opposition go?

The games in the courtroom are full of swords, lights and swords. The Archbishop has participated in Robert's royal meeting, and he knows that if he wants to leave King's Landing safely, he needs to walk on thin ice and be careful enough.

"Because of the White Walkers' southern invasion, the Archbishop 'Sir', a large number of refugees from the north poured into the south of the neck, impacting the lives of the aboriginal residents. Carlin Bay is still being repaired, and they have no way to return home. ."

Viserys shook his head as he walked, and said with a little worry.

"There are too many refugees in King's Landing now."

The current situation in the Seven Kingdoms is actually more corrupt than imagined.

The main reason is that the savage blew the horn of winter and collapsed the Great Wall of Despair, and then rushed into the north and even further south, and even colluded with the Gaoshan clan.

The invasion of the White Walkers has exacerbated this chaos even more. In order not to add troops to the White Walkers, hundreds of thousands, millions or more of the northern refugees were driven south, across the neck to the south. .

Now that the White Walkers have been defeated, but the causeway of Neckswamp has not been repaired, and the war between the Riverlands and King's Landing has just ended, what can these Northland refugees do? Where can I go?

Naturally, they all flocked to the big cities, and King's Landing was one of their targets. They came to King's Landing and found a job, it was fine, and those who didn't have a job could only steal and rob.

This morning, Black Bug, who is now also the commander-in-chief of the capital garrison, reported to Viserys that the crime in King's Landing was becoming more and more obvious, and the methods were becoming more and more extreme.

Tyrion, who was the King's advisor not long ago, also reminded Viserys that he joked that King's Landing's population has increased a lot recently, based on the number of people who frequent the brothel.

And Viserys listened to Tyrion's reminder and personally read the records in King's Landing in recent years, which showed that King's Landing's population estimate has nearly doubled this year.

This is a shocking number, and most of them are homeless, impoverished poor people.

This was the reason why Viserys suddenly brought the court steward to Baelor Cathedral to visit.

Did he really take time out of the country's busy schedule to rehearse the wedding? No, Viserys is actually here to 'beg for alms', he has long heard that the church is very rich.

When the Fatty Archbishop heard Viserys' words, he immediately "understood", and hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and agreed.

The church, bathed in the light of the Father, will naturally become the last haven for the poor.

Therefore, the Church will provide enough funds to help the capitals of the Seven Kingdoms get through this difficult winter and another difficult spring.

"May the gods bless the sun tomorrow will be better."

His Majesty the King went around Baelor Cathedral alone, and the church released the treasury.

It was announced that 200,000 bushels of wheat, 100,000 bushels each of barley, oats, and rye, 4,000 head of cattle, and 10,000 sheep would be purchased from abroad to help the poor people of King's Landing through this difficult time.

The story quickly spread in King's Landing.

The image of His Majesty the King's wiseness and martial arts has been further recognized, and the church that has been beaten and spent money has instead become a negative role that everyone shouts and beats.

Because many poor people who believe in the Seven Gods thought that the church might be rich, but they never thought that the church would be so rich.

What other poor people's meeting is being held here? Why don't you just call it a meeting of rich people?

The archbishop is so fat that he is almost unable to walk. This is the body shape that can be eaten by eating chaff and veggies while suffering with believers all day long? And the archbishops and monks of the Church of the Seven Gods are also very rich.

The last belief in the poor people's hearts collapsed, so how much they once loved would become so much hate, and the Red Gods, who had an absolute disadvantage in King's Landing, also took the opportunity to jump out to make trouble, and they also created a small scale. demonstrations.

But fortunately, the church also spent real money this time. These people want to make trouble again, but they are short-handed and short-handed. In addition, the Unsullied and the Golden Robes maintain order. In the end, this turmoil It calmed down smoothly.

The church got a proper beating, and King's Landing's immediate problems in the face of the lockdown were resolved.

In King's Landing, the last small disturbance on the eve of the king's wedding ended, and the wedding officially began the next day.
