Chapter 1109 Family Inheritance

However, at this time, good news also came.

Immediately after Aemon was crowned, his queen Bessanne Toyne became pregnant with their first child, who was born the following year.

The first child that Queen Bessanne brought to Aemon was a boy, a boy with silver hair and purple eyes that was very characteristic of the Targaryen family blood, which made Aemon overjoyed.

Then after thinking about it, Aemon named his eldest son Viserys, and in this way he wanted to honor his father, whom he had barely met.

A few years have passed since the birth of the eldest son Viserys, and Bessanne successfully conceived again, and this time the kind and gentle imperial queen brought Aemon a little silver-haired princess.

Aemon named her Layla Targaryen.

However, in the 328th year of the Aegon calendar and the 35th year of the new calendar, when the empire's little princess Layla Targaryen was just born, a very serious and vicious assassination incident broke out in King's Landing.

A long-premeditated killer army has its sights set on the Targaryen royal family. They cannot resist the wrath of the dragon, so they can only choose this indiscriminate method.

They have been lurking in King's Landing, the capital of the empire, for an unknown amount of time, and even their eyeliners have been buried in the interior of the Red Fort.

Because the first generation of Unsullied guards have all aged and no longer have the ability to protect the safety of the royal family, these warriors have all been sent to Dragonstone to enjoy their old age.

But Slaver's Bay has ceased to exist, becoming the province of Giscali on the frontier of the Empire, and Astapor no longer produces the Unsullied, which was the promise of Her Majesty the Queen Mother Daenerys to the Unsullied.

Therefore, the current Red Keep guards are the soldiers selected and trained by the Unsullied.

However, the problem appeared at this time. Queen Bessanne's second child was about to be born. All members of the royal family, including the three queen mothers, returned to the Red Fort to wait for the good news.

But at this moment, a well-planned assassination operation broke out. More than a hundred killers suddenly poured into the Red Fort and caught the Red Fort guards by surprise. They wanted to carry out beheading operations for all members of the royal family. .

They were so daring that they even went crazy, killing and beheading anyone they saw. Blood stained the entire Red Keep, and they even rushed into the Maegor House at one point, disturbing Queen Bessanne who was giving birth.

A killer broke into the delivery room and stabbed a woman to death, but was then killed by Emperor Aemon with a sword, but Queen Bessanne was still severely frightened, so she left a root of disease that was difficult to eradicate.

This mighty assassination operation caused an uproar in the empire. Although it did not cause very serious consequences, and no members of the royal family were killed, the impact was still extremely bad.

Although the Red Fort has been attacked many times in recent decades, none of them has been so bad. Aemon is also very rarely furious because of this. .

He even dismissed the intelligence minister in his former council for this, and was thrown into prison for the rest of his life.

And reinstated the notorious Ministry of Internal Affairs, which had been abolished since he ascended the Iron Throne, brought Mesaria, who had been liquidated after the rebellion, out of prison and ordered her to take charge of the case.

Aemon's big fight turned out to be fruitful later, and after a series of strict investigations, it was finally found out that they were the remnants of the cult of the King of Light's belief harboured by the people.

According to legend, the leader of this remnant party is a person from a previous era, a priestess of the Red Church, Melisandre, whom Aemon Targaryen's father once relied on.

In terms of age, the other party should be in his 60s or 70s now, but according to legend, Melisandre, like Aemon and the three empress dowagers, still maintains the appearance of her youth.

Why did Melisandre quietly leave King's Landing in the first place, and then how did she join a remnant party of the Church of the Red God and become the leader.

The secrets may have long been unknown except for the important ministers of the Imperial Council of that era.

Aemon didn't know, and didn't want to know.

He just wanted to let all these cult remnants die, so he launched an unprecedented purge, and then as many as seven imperial governors were involved in the incident.

The empire was established in the hands of Viserys, and reached its largest territory in the era of the Three Empresses.

Especially since Aemon I Targaryen ascended the Iron Throne, he has always ruled the country with gentleness and tenderness, which made those ambitious imperial governors regarded as weak.

But they were powerless to fight the dragon, so they colluded with the remnants of the cult, intending to eradicate the roots from the root, directly destroying the Targaryen family, tearing the empire apart and returning to the original chaos.

Unfortunately, their plan failed, and instead aroused the wrath of Aemon I Targaryen.

After twelve years of thorough investigation into the murder of the Red Keep, when the truth finally surfaced, a rebellion that swept through half the empire broke out in the 340th year of the Aegon calendar and the 47th year of the new calendar.

But at this time the Imperial Legion under the second Emperor Aemon I Targaryen was stronger than ever.

The dragons of the Targaryen family also thrived during these peaceful years, and gave birth to thirteen dragon eggs one after another. In the end, in addition to one small dragon that died, the Targaryen family also had twelve more young dragons.

Therefore, when the rebellion that swept half the empire broke out, more than a dozen dragons flew to the place of the rebellion, and were finally quelled by the emperor Aemon I Targaryen in just one year.

The dancing fire dragon directly destroyed the seven governor families with the shortest effort, quelled the rebellion, and made their surnames disappear from this world forever.

At the same time, it also deterred the rest of the evil-minded forces, and let the world see that His Majesty Aemon I Targaryen was not only kind, but also had the wrath of thunder.

In the following decades of rule, the power of the central empire's local domination has gradually been more deeply entrenched under the rule of Aemon.

He even said the famous saying, "Wherever the giant dragon can fly, it is my country", which is famous everywhere.

Aemon later also sent Xu Yin, the youngest son of the former Red Fort chief executive Xu Ying, a young man of mixed eastern and western blood.

He was ordered to lead a fleet back to the Golden Dynasty as a messenger, established a preliminary diplomatic relationship of mutual recognition, and took the lead in establishing official trade channels and fleets to communicate with each other.
