Chapter 663 Emperor Valyria
"Rebuild Valyria?"
"Restore the ancient empire?"
Oberyn's words made the chaotic throne room fall silent for a moment, as if a needle could be heard.
After a few seconds of silence, it exploded like a blockbuster.
They have naturally heard of Valyria's reputation, even the most ignorant nobles present.
This is the greatest country ever built by human beings. They have the most powerful army on the ground and in the sky, hundreds of thousands of slave legions, and hundreds of giant dragons.
When they existed, they enslaved the whole world, and even radiated to a distant eastern country, where people have heard the name of Valyrian Freedom Bastion.
They arrogantly claim that they are "a kingdom that can challenge the gods".
"My God."
"how can that be?"
Everyone in the throne room was in an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion. Some people couldn't believe it, but at the same time, there were also aristocrats with white beards on their heads.
"It was shocking."
"His Majesty's ambition does not seem to have reached the end."
Their keen political sense and rich experience told them that this was not just a matter of name, but also revealed the ambition behind the empire to devour the world.
The Valyrian Freehold has been destroyed by the apocalypse, and today there are many city-states in the world claiming to be the heirs of this great empire.
Such as Reese, such as Volantis, etc.
Lys is the original colony of Valyria and has not experienced conquest. Volantis is the earliest colony established by Valyria with a long history and is known as the "eldest daughter of Valyria".
However, none of these city-states or families who claim to be the "heirs of the fortress of freedom" are more qualified to claim the empire than the Targaryen family.
Because House Targaryen is one of Valyria's Forty Dragon Houses, a family that can openly participate in the election of kings in Valyria. In its gleaming city walls, forty rival families are fighting for the court. The power and glory above are in conflict with each other, and there is an endless, sinister, cunning, and often brutal and bloody struggle over the ups and downs of the right to speak.
This is the biggest capital of the Targaryen family, which is enough to claim the right to claim the ancient empire. Today, no one in this world except the Targaryen family has this qualification.
And Volantis, known as the 'eldest daughter of Valyria' and 'the Mistress of the Summer Sea', was just a slave of the empire back then.
What qualifications do slaves have to claim to be the heirs of the bastion of liberty?
House Targaryen is one of the masters of Valyria's Freehold, and Viserys is also the last patriarch of the royal dragon family in the world today, the last dragon king.
When one day he made a claim to the Valyrian Freehold, the rest of the city-state's claims were nothing more than dirt on the ground, not worth mentioning.
"Will our claim to Valyria arouse opposition from the Free Cities?"
And someone in the throne room asked in surprise.
"The objection of the trading city-state?"
"Is it worth caring about?"
Immediately, someone also retorted with an air of arrogance.
The free trade city-state was eclipsed by the rise of the Iron Throne, and the Westeros nobles who were once overwhelmed by the trade city-state and the iron vault naturally turned over and sang.
"I agree!"
"Your Majesty is the last dragon king in the world, and the last heir to Valyria."
At this moment, Dr. Marwin, a short and strong scholar, stood up and said.
Maester Bull was the most excited about changing the country's name to Valyria and bringing up the Targaryens' claim to the Freehold.
Because he studied Valyria's history and past deeply, but the more deeply he studied, the more fascinated he was with this great country.
And their king happened to be the heir of that great empire, with the blood of the sacred Yulong family flowing in his body, and was fully qualified to inherit and rebuild this great empire.
"The Valyrian Freedom Fortress is a system of co-election and selection of kings. It was chosen by forty royal dragon families through brutal struggles, and it does not conform to our national conditions."
"We have one and only one king, and our country spans both sides of the narrow sea, from Qingting Island to the Great Wall, from Yanhuo City to Yinghun Castle, there are countless people, integrating a variety of ethnic groups, a variety of cultural heritage, many languages."
"A wise man once said that the king is supreme in his kingdom and is the emperor!"
"Therefore I propose that His Majesty should change the title of 'King' to 'Emperor'!"
The great scholar Marwin stood in front of the Iron Throne, looking at the nobles and representatives of the wealthy businessmen and trades in Wuyang and Wuyang below, and then turned to look at the quiet silver-haired young man sitting on the Iron Throne. Then he spoke in a deep and deep voice, and the voice echoed repeatedly in the hall.
The nobles in the main hall of the Throne Hall were discussing again, but this time it was much quieter than the discussion just now, because the sudden mention of the claim to Valyria was a huge bombshell.
It is not so unexpected that Viserys will change from the title of king to emperor later.
Because now the strength of the country can already be called an empire, and the Iron Throne has been generally called an empire in the outside world, and the emperor is indeed a higher level than the king in both common language and high Valyrian language. title.
The emperors in the broad sense of the Andals and Roinas and even the Valyrian population, although the vocabulary and pronunciation are different, but the expression is the same, both are the legendary 'king above kings', 'kings' s King'.
The emperor is a collection of military, political, judicial and other powers. The power of the emperor is more concentrated than that of the king, unlike the kings before Westeros who were just a large noble.
And the country that the emperor can rule is also more powerful. Even if it is not to "unify the entire known civilization world", it must also be the absolute king of a certain region.
It is for this reason that Orion, the dragon king who escaped from the Doomsday Calamity of Valyria, chose to proclaim himself Emperor of Valyria instead of King of Valyria.
For Valyria's size and reputation, proclaiming himself a king is a form of self-deprecation.
"Agree!"
"agree!"
"I also think that His Majesty should be called Emperor."
After the words of the great scholar Marwin fell, the other important ministers who had been silent all the time also spoke up at this time.
The throne room of the Red Fort is the political core of the entire country today, and every weak wind direction in it will become a gust of wind that sweeps thousands of miles.
The statement of many former imperial officials is a clear signal of this. Although everyone in the throne room has different levels of knowledge, there is no one idiot. They grasped this signal keenly, and then shouted the name of Viserys together.
Chapter two wait.
The meaning of the emperor of the country in the western world is similar to that of China. It is probably the 'boss of the entire civilization circle', which means a little higher than the king. The emperor of the western world also has a unique self-proclaimed, similar to our 'zhen', so Generally, it is also uniformly translated as 'I'.
