Chapter 1021 Marriage
Tyrion's words sound a bit complicated, but it's actually quite simple to summarize.
To put it simply, Tyrion did not take the initiative to support Aemon because of the so-called charisma and other factors, but he did not want to support the eldest prince Helos to ascend the throne and become the next generation of the emperor of the empire.
Because there is only one conqueror like Viserys.
The empire already has a territory beyond what the feudal dynasties can control. If it weren't for the existence of giant dragons, which greatly shortened the distance between the two places, I am afraid that the empire would have already fallen apart due to the huge territory dragged down.
Therefore, the size of the territory is not the bigger the better, just like the banana, it is the most suitable to be just right.
And with the character and means of the first prince, Helos, after he came to power, he inevitably wanted to create some achievements and prove his worth. At that time, the rulers became the burden of the country, the source of the people's pain, the waste of money and the drain. the vitality of this country.
Now that it has gone through hardships such as the Long Night, the Eastern Expedition, etc., what this country needs most is a ruler who can recuperate and slow down everything, not a tough emperor like Helos.
So Tyrion didn't want to support Aemon, he just didn't want to support Heros.
But even though what Tyrion said was the truth, it still made Aemon feel a little heartbroken.
"call"
Aemon clutched his chest and felt heartbroken, but in the end he let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thank you so much for your frankness! Lord Tyrion!"
"Otherwise I'd be a little flattered."
"But next time, I still hope to be more euphemistic, and don't say it so directly."
Tyrion's words meant that he decided to help Aemon and stood by his side, so Aemon's tone relaxed a lot, and he let out a sigh of relief.
But in fact, if Tyrion is unwilling to stand on his side, Aemon has no complaints. After all, in terms of strength, he does have a big gap with his brother.
"I promise."
And Tyrion's complaint about little Aemon was only a slight smile.
The empire has been established for a long time, and some things from the previous dynasty have begun to gradually lift the ban, after all, it can no longer pose a threat.
Tyrion has already married a long time ago, marrying a virtuous and virtuous noble girl, and re-established the Lannister family.
No matter how his father Tywin looked down on this son at the beginning, it was indeed Tyrion who inherited the Lannister surname, and the former prince Joffrey was still surnamed Weishui as an illegitimate son.
And Tyrion chose Aemon, as Daenerys said, only a lunatic who wants to gain greater benefits will choose him.
Tyrion's desire to restore the glory of the former Lannister family can only be achieved by relying on Aemon. If Helos is in power, I am afraid that he will not even think about it.
"I also heard what the captain said just now."
"Indeed, the key to winning against His Highness the First Prince lies in whether he can win the support of His Highness the Eldest Princess."
"But in addition to the attitude of Her Royal Highness, we need to accumulate more strength."
"With today's strength alone, if you can't even support Her Royal Highness's support, you will lose a big loss."
Now that he has expressed his attitude, Tyrion entered the role of a counselor in a second, and began to make suggestions for the second prince Aemon Targaryen he supported.
In the military, Aemon can completely rely on his teacher, Bessie Joyce. The opponent is definitely an expert in marching and fighting, and Tyrion's main work is in politics.
It can even be said that the burden on Tyrion's shoulders is heavier than that of Bessie.
Because war is actually an extension of politics, he is not proficient in war, but to find more soldiers for His Royal Highness the Second Prince and the support of the imperial nobles, food, grass, money, etc., these are all Tyrion's duties.
At present, the strength of Aemon and Helos is very different, and Tyrion must race against time to get serious and make suggestions for him.
"You're right, Lord Tyrion."
"Then what should we do now?"
And Aemon heard that Tyrion quickly entered the working state, and his spirit was slightly lifted, and then hurriedly asked seriously.
"marriage."
"Your biggest bargaining chip right now is marriage, Your Highness."
Tyrion fiddled with the beard on his chin and looked at Aemon up and down, until he saw that Aemon had some tingling in his scalp, and then he slowly opened his mouth.
"The boy is quite handsome."
Tyrion habitually wanted to pat Aemon on the shoulder, but when he raised his hand, he realized that Aemon was no longer the kid who was running around in the Red Keep and playing with Tyrion. He has also grown up to be an adult.
Then Tyrion coughed lightly, and then said seriously.
"You need a virtuous and virtuous wife, Your Highness."
"A well-born wife can bring you tens of thousands of soldiers."
"Your father married Queen Arianne back then, and received the support of Dorne directly, so that he was able to gain a firm foothold in the Eastern Continent."
"Otherwise, with a fleet alone, it's nothing, how did your father build a city in a short period of time?"
"Marry?"
And Aemon heard Tyrion's first suggestion, and suddenly felt that one head and two were big.
Received the elite education of the royal family since childhood, which led to Aemon actually having little chance to really get in touch with ordinary noble girls, because they are not qualified to approach Aemon.
However, although Aemon has never been in love, he has a longing for a sweet love. He feels that he can still fight for it, so he hurriedly said.
"But I haven't met someone I like yet"
"You can meet someone you like later, Your Highness!"
"Now you need a proper wife, not a woman you really like!"
Before Aemon could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Tyrion's slightly stern tone.
I don't know why he talked about love, he suddenly thought of his brother James, an excellent knight with a bright future, but he fell in love with a woman he shouldn't have fallen in love with.
Aemon opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to refute something, but had nothing to say.
After all, Tyrion is also for his own great cause, and it is really inappropriate for him to pick and choose here, not to mention that he knows that when his father married Arianne's mother, he hadn't even seen it before.
"Sorry, Lord Tyrion."
After Amon calmed down, he apologized earnestly, and then continued to ask.
"Then who should I marry? Who would be the right wife for me?"
"Governor of the West, Jon Toin, Earl of Casterly Rock, son of Meath Toin, who has a younger sister."
