Chapter 542

"Did our soldiers resist heroically on the battlefield?"

"Garland, Mace..."

Madam Olenna's opening remarks were very simple, she raised her head and asked.

And Viserys was silent for a while, then smacked his lips and shook his head.

"It's not much different from what was expected before."

Then he made another point.

"Ser Garland was killed."

"Oh, I know, because we are proud golden roses."

When she heard Viserys' words, the old woman's expression darkened, and then she shook her head mockingly.

"Garland, this stupid kid, is the one with the most brains in the Tyrells, and Mace...he's been a coward since he was a kid."

"But we still chose to fight."

"Maye, Garland, and the child of Loras, maybe their deaths may also be destined."

The silver-haired old woman recited these names one by one, her voice hoarse, and although there was no expression on her face, these names were all her flesh and blood and descendants.

"We paid a heavy price."

Then Madam Olena the Queen of Thorns raised her head, looking at Viserys with a pair of dim old eyes and said.

"We fought and lost, Your Majesty."

"We also paid the price we deserved."

"You have a powerful army that can sweep through all the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, and the Iron Throne should naturally belong to you."

"But conquering the world and sitting in the world are not the same thing."

Mrs. Olenna's eyes were bright.

"A powerful army that swept across the seven kingdoms can help you unify the world, but it can't help you manage the country well."

Although she lost the war and damaged her son and grandson, the old woman still did not give up her plan to persuade Viserys to give up the change.

She wanted to convince Viserys that the Seven Kingdoms had been governed by nobles since ancient times.

The Iron Throne is his, and so is the king. He can order the nobles at will, start wars, ask the nobles for money if he has no money, marry a beautiful and noble queen, and even have hundreds of them like the 'Yong King' Aegon. Mistress, enjoy countless glory and riches.

But the Queen of Thorns couldn't understand why Viserys had to take away the power of the nobles?

As long as Viserys nods, the Seven Kingdoms will be unified the next day, and everyone will be happy, right?

But there is one thing Mrs. Olenna firmly believes, conquering the world and sitting in the world are not the same thing.

Without the help of the nobles, Viserys would not have been able to govern the country well.

So she tried to persuade the silver-haired young man to give up the idea of ​​​​he wanted to change, after all, she had eaten more salt than Viserys had eaten rice.

However, Viserys walked into this gorgeous room full of classic atmosphere, couldn't help but looked around, then his eyes fell on the brown girl, and he withdrew his gaze.

He heard the Queen of Thorns, but shook his head slightly.

Viserys pulled up a chair and sat directly across from her, then spoke.

"Mrs. Olenna, are the rules from ancient times right?"

The silver-haired old woman was slightly taken aback when she heard the words. As the 'Queen of Thorns', she never thought about this issue.

"Why is a nobleman a nobleman?"

Then Viserys looked at the grandfather and grandson in front of him, and continued to ask in a calm voice.

And the old woman asked what Zhang Gang was going to answer, but was rushing to answer by Viserys.

"Because the bloodline is noble?"

"Because they're smarter or more capable?"

In fact, there are not a few stupid nobles who are famous in history. Viserys' words made Madam Olenna speechless, and there seemed to be nothing special about nobles.

Aristocrats are also human beings. If a knife pierces the heart, they will die. When they get seriously ill in their later years, they will also be feces, urine and farts on the sickbed. They don’t look noble at all.

And their so-called noble bloodline doesn't seem to bring them anything special, such as being smarter or more powerful.

If Westeros is truly considered noble, it seems that only the Targaryens and the Starks are the only ones.

The Targaryen family has the 'true dragon blood', which can establish a very good relationship with the dragon and become partners with each other.

The bloodline of the Stark family is also very mysterious, and the source is unknown. They have the talent to become the Green Prophet, and at the same time, they seem to have some kind of inseparable connection with the White Walkers and the Old Gods.

Except for the Targaryen family and the Stark family, the remaining families of the Seven Kingdoms seem to be just ordinary people who seize the opportunity first, taking a first-come advantage.

The old woman was dumbfounded by what Viserys said.

On the other side, the brown-haired girl had tears in her eyes, looking at Viserys with fear in her eyes.

Then Mrs. Olenna, who was wearing a veil, took a deep breath, laughed at herself and shook her head.

"Old, old"

"People used to call me the 'Queen of Thorns' because they would always be 'stabbed' by my words, and they all said my words were sharp and mean."

"But I can't even speak of a young man younger than Vilas."

After speaking, the silver-haired old woman raised her head to look at Viserys and asked seriously.

"In that case, Your Majesty."

"My son and two grandsons have already died at the hands of your soldiers. How are you going to punish the Tyrell family?"

And Viserys also looked at the Queen of Thorns and then her voice was calm, and she said without doubt.

"Leave all the riches and leave Highgarden, Vilas made his promise when he bowed his knees."

"But High Court is our home. Where can we go without here?"

Although Mrs. Olenna had thought of the possible outcome in advance, she still couldn't help but twitch her cheeks.

The intensity of this punishment was even crueler than that of the Tully family in Hejian Land. It seemed that there was a big difference between surrendering early and surrendering late.

The Tully family was only abandoned as a monarch and the title of duke, but they were still able to keep Riverrun, but the Tyrell family could not even keep Highgarden.

"Star Shuttle City."

"The Peak family has no heir."

Viserys had already thought of a place for the Tyrells.

In fact, just before he set off, he had personally named Velas Tyrell the Earl of Star Shuttle City.

And the political meaning represented by this made many Dornish nobles who watched the ceremony looked at them, and couldn't help but talk a lot, guessing what the future political map of the kingdom would be like.

As for the Dothraki, they didn't think about these issues at all. Their lives were nothing but eating and sleeping.

They also didn't want to understand the hidden meaning of Viserys's manual naming Vilas Tyrell as the Earl of Star Shuttle City, and they didn't want to think about it.

The Dothraki army occupied Highgarden. Because there was no battle, this time there was no rest for too long, and then they went straight to the next target.

old town.

The wolf wants to eat meat, and no one can stop it.

Although Viserys is tolerant towards the Tyrell family, the lack of it does not mean that he does not have a thunderous side.

His Majesty the King stayed in High Court for a short time and tore up three letters of the Hightower family's surrender.

He decided to destroy the largest, most wealthy and powerful noble in the Reach, the Hightowers of Oldtown.
