Chapter 580 Minister of Craftsman Minister of Agriculture

In the Red Fort, a series of issues are being brought to the table.

The first is about the seats that need to be added to the Imperial Council.

The current Council of Viserys is headed by former Prime Minister Jon Clinton.

Below him are Illyrio Morpatis, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Prince Oberyn, Minister of Justice, who is also the Commander of the Second Legion, Varys, the Minister of Intelligence, and Geoffrey Bracken, Minister of the Sea. Count, Minister of War Dothraki Kargo and more.

The Maester was nominated as Dr. Marwin, and Dr. Bull accepted Viserys' appointment to become Grand Maester of the Iron Throne, but declined the position of Dean of the Seminary.

He dislikes management, prefers to study alone, and can answer questions for the king, so he is only willing to hold a doctorate in the department of magic and the occult in the seminary.

The position of the first dean of the seminary was temporarily held by the archbishop of Baylor Cathedral, and Melisandre served as the priest and mentor of the Red Divinity Department.

The Archbishop also has the qualifications to attend the Imperial Council, but he will not summon the Archbishop to a meeting on weekdays. Then Tyrion Lannister, the king's personal advisor, is qualified to attend the Imperial Council, and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Rams.

The newly nominated positions to join the Royal Council are the Minister of Artisans and the Minister of Agriculture, and the importance of these two positions is becoming more and more obvious.

One is the pursuit of scientific and technological progress, invention and creation, and the improvement of productivity, and the other is the issue of people's well-being and enough food, so it was unanimously approved by the Imperial Council.

For the nominations of these two positions, there was a fierce battle between the two in the imperial court.

In the end, the master craftsman Tob Mosso, who once cast the magic weapon "Twilight" for Viserys, got the support of Viserys and became the craftsman minister of the Iron Throne as a commoner.

In fact, this is also a subtle suppression by Viserys against the powerful forces, telling the world that his determination to support the rise of civilians has not changed.

The king's move naturally gained the support of the general public. They crowded the square in front of the Red Fort and shouted the name of Viserys, and the nobles who became the targets of ridicule also dared not to speak out.

However, Viserys did not exert extreme pressure on the nobles, but slapped a sweet date. After a fierce competition, another agriculture minister was finally nominated as Ellis of the Florent family. Count de Florent.

Like many other Reach nobles, the Florent family can also be traced back to the legendary human king 'Bluehand' Garth.

The ancestor of the Florent family was one of the three sons of Floris the Fox, daughter of Garth 'Blue Hand'.

Even the Florent family has always claimed that their bloodline is more noble than that of the Tyrell family, and the inheritance rights are more advanced.

And in the field of planting, who can be better than the descendants of 'Green Hand' Gals? He is the replica Shennong in the world of ice and fire.

Therefore, coupled with the strong strength of the Florent family, it even unexpectedly received the support of the former monarch Tyrell family, and finally won the post of Minister of Agriculture after some open and secret struggle.

Earl Alister Florent was a tall, lanky elder with silver-grey hair, and a long, sharp beard trimmed around his slender, dignified face.

"His Majesty."

He looks polite and well-mannered, and although he is a little older, his eyes are still bright.

In contrast, next to him was Tob Mosso, who was also nominated as the new Minister of Craftsmanship, an old craftsman with a somewhat bald head.

His palms were rough, and he was wearing clean clothes that were not suitable for the stage. He came to the throne room and walked to the Iron Throne. He didn't even know which leg he was walking on, and he felt that his mind was blank.

"Ha ha."

And the local dignitaries around King's Landing saw the funny appearance of this civilian minister, and even couldn't help laughing.

The mocking laughter aggravated Tob Mosuo's nervousness. The old craftsman was sweating coldly on his forehead, and then he followed the example of the Earl of Brightwater City and bowed, his voice trembling.

"His Majesty."

There were voices of laughter from the crowd, and Sir Brynden Tully, who was standing at the front desk wearing black armor and with gray hair, swept into the crowd with his eyes like electricity.

These mocking voices came to an abrupt end, as if squatting in a pit and clipping shit.

After Sir Blackfish came to King's Landing, he was appointed by Viserys to be the new commander-in-chief of the Capital Guard, replacing the former Black Bug.

The Unsullied Legion will concentrate on serving as the royal guard from now on to protect the safety of the royal family members.

Then Jon Clinton, the former Prime Minister of the Royal Family, said a few words, probably to encourage future colleagues to do their own work, be loyal to the Royal Targaryen family, and work together to build the country. Bowing again and thanking him, he stepped forward to give them medals by the hand of the king himself.

The strength of the Florent family is very strong, and they once sent thousands of people to support their own king, the Tyrell family.

During the battle of Star Shuttle City, the Dothraki attacked from behind. Seeing that the situation was over, Earl Alister resolutely surrendered to the Dornishmen.

However, it turned out that Earl Alister Florent was very correct, because all the nobles of the Reach who surrendered to the Dothraki were slashed and killed, even the Duke of Mace of Highgarden was not spared.

These savages don't recognize any family crest or coat of arms, no matter how noble your bloodline and how powerful you are, all of them are lambs to be slaughtered in their hands, and their heads are beheaded with a knife.

And there are more political games and considerations behind Earl Alister Florent's acquisition of the post of Minister of Agriculture, and it is not that easy and simple.

Because he was a microcosm and representative of the previous political situation, his daughter was married to Landau Tully, Earl of Corner Hill, and the other daughter, Leia, was married to Old Town old man Leighton Hightower.

His niece Celis is married to Stannis, while another niece, Dirina Floren, is the mother of Robert's illegitimate son, Edric Storm.

And Viserys gave Alister Florent a seat on the Imperial Council and indirectly expressed his understanding of the rest of the former nobles, giving them a reassurance.

In the final analysis, this is a game of power, and the political situation in King's Landing is unpredictable, and the upright northerners such as Eddard Stark abandon their family business and come to King's Landing, which means that they will never look back.

No wonder all the kings of the north who went south in history seemed to have no good end.

"Ed."

Outside the cell of the Red Fort, Lady Catelyn in a plain dress was still haggard, and then nodded to the Unsullied soldier beside her.

"grateful."

wow-

Then two Unsullied soldiers stepped forward with expressionless faces and opened the door of the prison.
