Chapter 471
There are only three important things to do next for the young king.
The first is to hold the wedding as soon as possible. Arianne has been pregnant for five or six months. If the wedding is not held, their children will be born.
Although the wedding can be made up in the future, and no one dares to say anything more, but after all, the name is not right, and the common people may not care, and it is a minor stain for the noble royal family.
Therefore, the king's wedding is scheduled for half a month later in the Baelor Cathedral. There are not many guests qualified to participate in the wedding, mainly members of the Targaryen family and important ministers under his command.
There are fewer people on the bride's side. Her uncle, Prince Oberyn and the Sand Snakes will participate. Arianne's father, Prince Doran, has not been out of the Garden of Flowing Water for many years because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet due to gout.
The bride's younger brother, Prince Quentin Martell, had sailed to King's Landing a long time ago and arrived not long ago, while the other prince, Tristan, was too young to be left in Dorne and did not come to his sister's. wedding.
At that time, in the arrangement of the wedding scene, Prince Quentin and Aegon will form a flower boy together, and Miss Sansa Stark of Winterfell is just the right age. She will help the bride hold up the skirt as a companion. .
In fact, King's Landing has been preparing for the king's wedding since before Arianne arrived.
However, the royal family's wedding process is extremely complicated and the specifications are high. Even if it takes a few months to prepare, it is difficult to fully prepare.
After all, no king or prince would hold a wedding in such a hurry, and Viserys took the time to go to Braavos to give the busy palace steward a little respite, and a few more days to arrange.
The second more important thing for Viserys to do is to be crowned again, which was initially controversial.
Viserys felt that it was unnecessary to repeat the coronation, but there were still ministers and advisors who suggested that the new king be crowned again in King's Landing, which would be more justifiable.
After all, Viserys was crowned for the first time on Dragonstone. At that time, the Targaryen Dynasty was shaky and the buildings were falling. The orphans and widows fled to Dragonstone. Queen Layla crowned her son herself. , perhaps the gods have not heard.
As for his claimed second coronation, in fact he knew in his own heart that it was all nonsense.
The seven gods did not crown him, and the Father did not pluck the stars from heaven and set them in his crown.
At that time, it was the idea of the ministers to get in touch with the gods in order to better settle in the Andas Plain and rule this "land grant" of Braavos.
Viserys couldn't resist the suggestions of the ministers. After all, holding such a seemingly useless ceremony would actually have some help in future wars.
People in this world are still very firm in their persistence and belief in certain things.
In the end, the young silver-haired king agreed that the coronation ceremony would be held again, and the coronation ceremony was scheduled for a day before the royal wedding.
However, that's not all.
Viserys has one last important thing to do, and that is the trial of the usurper Robert Baratheon and his entourage, Eddard Stark, and others.
Viserys has declared that there will be public trials of these men, and that their crimes will be made public, including some secrets.
Although many of the chief sinners on the list have died over the years.
For example, Jon Arryn, the Duke of the Eagle's Nest City, who played an important role in the Wolf Deer Osprey Alliance, was assassinated, and the Duke of Riverrun, Horst Tully, was betrayed and beheaded by his vassals.
There are also others who have not been caught, such as Tywin Lannister, Duke of Casterly Rock, who narrowly escaped by boat from the battlefields of Riverrun.
These are the people who are named to kill, almost impossible to forgive.
But this trial couldn't be dragged on any longer. After all, Robert had been in his hands for so long, and dragging it on would only add to more problems.
Viserys, too, worried that things would change later.
Therefore, in the first official conclave after Viserys returned to the Red Keep, the public trial of the culprits in the Usurper War was set for a period of time after the royal wedding.
"If the respected Duke Tywin is absent from the public trial, I think it is quite a pity."
Oberon, who was sitting on Viserys' left side with his legs crossed, looked a little cynical. In fact, he had always been like this, while rubbing his slightly curly beard, he opened the mouth in a mocking voice.
Then he turned his head and glanced at the little devil who had just talked with great interest. This dwarf was different from his appearance. The small body contained good wisdom. The logic of the analysis just now was clear and coherent. Oberyn could not help but give him a high look.
And Tyrion felt a slight shiver in Oberyn's eyes, and felt a little chill on the back of his neck, and hurriedly lowered his head and clasped his fingers.
"Tsk."
Oberyn shrugged slightly when he saw this scene and retracted his gaze.
However, he looked frivolous on the outside, but in reality, there was a slight flicker of coldness in the depths of his dark eyes.
It was obvious that his heart was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.
The death of his sister Elia actually has little to do with Robert and the Baratheon family or Eddard Stark, and can only be regarded as an indirect murderer.
Even Oberyn was willing to admit that if the Duke of Winterfell had taken King's Landing first, his sister would have been fine.
The person who actually raped and killed Ilya was Gregor Clegane, and the real murderer behind the Magic Mountain was Tywin Lannister, Duke of Casterly Rock.
He deceived the gate of King's Landing, and then led Lannister soldiers to burn, kill and loot in King's Landing. Because Prince Rhaegar died in battle, it was a matter of time before the rebels such as Robert won. The Lannister family came a step late, Tai Win could only use the heads of Elia and Aegon as a nomination.
Facts have proved that Duke Tywin's methods are indeed brilliant, and he has won the biggest victory after the Baratheon family.
But now Oberyn took the initiative to take off the medal of the Hand of the King, and led the Second Legion of House Targaryen to land in Westeros across the sea, just to settle accounts with House Lannister.
"Your Majesty, I would like to apply to lead an army to attack the Western Territory alone."
Then Oberyn put away the cynical look on his face, and put down Erlang's legs, a rare serious expression on one cheek.
"I am willing to promise you that I will 'invite' Duke Tywin to the trial before the public trial."
