Chapter 636 Dorne Conflict

Once Lord Varys was the most irreplaceable in King's Landing, otherwise he would not have served the three kings. However, now that Viserys has held up an internal inspection agency, Varys realized that he is not irreplaceable.

The fiercest battle between Little Bird and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in private even rose to a situation where two or three people were killed every day.

Viserys was well aware of the situation, but did not interfere directly.

In addition to being more careful, Varys also did not dare to conceal the information at all. His best method was to selectively report the information he received. However, now that there are competitors, such tricks as Varys are also failed.

"Oh?"

"Mis Toyn rejected Euron, what about the follow-up? It's impossible for the Iron Islands to be empty forever. Where does Euron want to find someone?"

"It's nothing more than launching wars and capturing slaves. You know, Lord Euron now has the rank of admiral, and the Iron Fleet is still in command of his hands."

Varys shook his bright head and said.

"He may go and raid some of the islands of the Sunset Sea, and the barbarians are said to be descended from the Ironborn."

The regular imperial council soon ended, and many of the important ministers who participated in the imperial council left in groups, chatting and laughing, but one person returned.

"Lord Alister Florent, I have other things to do, so I will retire first."

Varys bowed slightly to the tall and thin old man of the Minister of Agriculture, and then left with small steps.

"Spiders are often nasty creatures."

On the other side, Tyrion, who was chatting and laughing with Oberon, spoke to Alister.

"Oh, Lord Tyrion."

When Alister Floren heard the little devil's words, he stood there and smiled politely, nodding to the two of them.

Although it has been a long time since he joined the Imperial Council, he is still considered a 'newcomer in the workplace' to these people.

If the little old man wants to stay in the Imperial Council for a long time, he needs to have a good relationship with these 'old seniors'. The most important thing is that the backer behind Allister is not hard, and his Minister of Agriculture is just a product of political compromise.

However, Oberon ignored the old man's offer, just glanced at the back of the eight-claw spider's departure, and frowned slightly.

He always felt that there was something else in the eyes of Varys looking at him today, and then there was an inexplicable chill.

"Isn't this eunuch?"

On the other side, Viserys was returning to Maegor House, accompanied by squire Robb Stark.

"Robb, what have you learned today?"

The two walked down the steps and said that Robb, as his attendant, also followed Viserys to learn governance and martial arts.

Therefore, sometimes Viserys convened the Imperial Council, and would let Robb sit on the sidelines, or guard the gate outside. When necessary, Viserys would also personally hand Robb a knight.

"I learned the importance of population, Your Majesty, it turns out that population is so important."

The reddish-brown-haired boy put his hand on the hilt of the sword and thought for a moment, then said.

He had never thought about the importance of population, and fell into a misunderstanding of thinking. He even thought that these commoners were the burden of the nobles, and they had to work hard to protect the people under their rule. This is the honor and responsibility of the nobles, but now I see Come the exact opposite.

The extravagant lives of the nobles are all built up by what he calls the commoners.

"Um."

"anything else?"

And Viserys heard Robb's words noncommittal, just nodded slightly and said, but at this moment, at the corner of the corridor, he met Varys who was quietly returning.

"Varys?"

"Your Majesty, Dorn, there is one more thing I want to report to you about Dorn."

Prince Oberyn of Dorne was present just now, so Varys did not mention this matter face to face, but waited until after the meeting of the Imperial Council was over, he quietly came back, and found Viserys and talked about it alone.

"Oh?"

In Maegor's study, Viserys listened to what Varys said, put his hands on the table with his fingers crossed, and a look of thought appeared on one cheek.

"There is such a thing."

But in fact, Viserys had an expectation for this to happen. It's just a matter of time. It's like a bomb buried in the corner. You don't pay attention to it for many years, but it will detonate one day. , I just didn't expect that the bomb in Dorne would detonate at this juncture.

According to Varys' report, there were some conflicts between the nobles of the Reach King Territory and the Dornish nobles, because the Dornish cavalry began to frequently move around the Reach King Territory, which had a great impact on the nobles around the frontier. threaten.

In fact, the two sides were originally a feud, not a hatred that could be resolved by a short period of peace. Some of the fathers and grandfathers of both sides died at the hands of the other side, and now the nobles in the Reach have no soldiers in their hands. Naturally With a strong sense of crisis, everyone is in danger by picking up the group in advance.

However, at this moment, it was a group of Dornish cavalrymen who lit the powder keg. They savagely rushed into a noble fief in the king's territory of the Reach, and then burned a village on the fief, killing all the villagers. .

In fact, if it is not uncommon in the past, the Dornish cavalry sent people to burn down the villages of the frontier nobles, and the frontier nobles also responded.

However, this time, the Dornish cavalry seemed to bully the nobles in the frontier and lost their military power, and went deep into the vicinity of the castle to demonstrate, which made the nobles of the castle feel a sense of crisis.

This move of the Dorne cavalry instantly ignited the anger of the nobles of the Reach. Although the military power has been recovered, after all, the nobles of the frontier still retain a small number of private soldiers, and the local folk customs are sturdy. Gather an army.

The two sides faced off near Nightsong City, and even couldn't help but use a knife, and a knight in the Reach was killed.

The Dornish side claimed that they did not intend to provoke a war and invade the king's territory of the Reach, but to hunt down the untouchables who defected from Dorne, because more and more Dornish people have fled their former homeland recently. In the King Territory of the River Bend, some villages are already empty.

The Dornish nobles realized it later, but they also sensed a sense of crisis, so the nobles from all over the country issued a ban on blocking ports and roads and prohibiting them from leaving the local area.

However, this still could not stop the determination of the people of Dorne to leave, and even triggered a fever of escape, so the nobles of Dorne became furious and chose to kill.

Even chased all the way to the Reach to hunt down these defected pariahs, which triggered this conflict.
