Chapter 593 Canonization of Robb

At the public trial meeting, Eddard Stark, the former guardian of the North and Duke of Winterfell, admitted all the crimes he had committed, causing boos from the audience.

Lord Eddard Stark is of noble character, impartiality, and fame in the Seven Kingdoms. However, these are only known in the circle of nobles, and he did not vigorously publicize them. Ordinary people of King's Landing are not qualified to know about Duke Eddard, who is above and above. Who is it.

In their opinion, this is a Yankee who is arrogant and cold-hearted. In recent years, there have been many northerners in the city of King's Landing. Most of them have poured into the city because of the war, which has squeezed the living space of many people who used to be in King's Landing. , naturally caused dissatisfaction and regional conflicts.

The people of King's Landing didn't like northerners, and Eddard Stark seemed to them just as much as those hated northerners, rough-natured, serious-looking and unsmiling.

Now that Eddard Stark has confessed to all his crimes, he is naturally booed, but the former North Guardian standing in the center with shackles turns a deaf ear. if.

His wife paid a great price, and the northerners naturally won't lose the chain at the last link.

Then Eddard Stark knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to the new king for forgiveness. He was willing to take off his crown and put on black to join the Night's Watch and guard the north for the kingdom.

And Viserys also forgave Eddard Stark's crimes, allowing him to put on black, become a soldier of the Night's Watch, and start from scratch.

Although this is a script that was arranged in advance after a political compromise was reached, it must be performed again, which not only punishes the crime, but also demonstrates the king's kindness.

"Lord Stark."

Eddard Stark was released from the shackles, and Yoren the Night's Watch soldier 'The Raven' clothed him in black.

This officially announced that the former Duke of Winterfell had joined the Night's Watch and became an ordinary soldier under the commander-in-chief Jeor Mormont. He would then follow the army to expedition to the north and regain his homeland.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"King of the Seven Kingdoms!"

Viserys' act of kindness immediately resounded with the drums of the nobles of the North. This honorable and upright monarch won the respect and love of many North families.

Although the final outcome was not very good, at least one life was saved, right?

And after the affairs of Eddard Stark were dealt with, there was still an important question before him, that is, who should the governor of the north be entrusted to?

The Northerners have a strong will and hope that the Northerners will manage the Northerners, and the position of Governor is a political and economic law in the definition of the new dynasty, but it does not involve military power. The army is led by the army commander.

However, in the war to recapture the North, Viserys was not going to use his own power. They fought for years and they just won the Seven Kingdoms for him. Naturally, they should take a good rest for a while.

Therefore, the war to regain the North still needs to be fought by the North and the Night's Watch. Just like the Iron Islands, Euron Greyjoy and the Iron Seeds have been busy burning ghouls lately, little by little. Cleanup of Pike Island.

But in fact, there is not much resistance there. The main force of the Corps of the Dead has retreated to the north of the Great Wall. What Viserys saw when he went north twice was only a few remnants of ghouls, even aliens. There are no traces of ghosts, and there is no need to mobilize the power of the whole country to fight.

However, Viserys had already made plans for the next governor of the North, so he was looking at each other in all the nobles of the North, and when his eyes flickered, let his squire Robb Stark stand in front. , kneeling beside his father.

"His Majesty."

The reddish-brown-haired boy who came back to his senses immediately understood what had happened.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Gendry."

He hurriedly handed the jug in his hand to his friend Gendry.

Gendry was Viserys' first squire, and like many bastards, his mother was a maid in a tavern in King's Landing, but he didn't know who his father was.

Then he was kidnapped to the other side of the narrow sea with his master, and later became Viserys's attendant because of his simple and sensible personality.

Gendry took Robb's jug, and then saw Robb run down the stage to his father's side.

"Father!"

The auburn-haired teenager looked a little excited and disturbed, but received an encouraging hug from Eddard Stark.

"Robb."

"From now on, your mother and younger siblings will be handed over to you to take care of them."

Ed hugged his eldest son tightly, with some mixed feelings in his heart. After he was assigned to the Night's Watch, Robb naturally became the Lord of Winterfell, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"Go."

Ed put Robb on his knees facing Viserys.

Viserys then opened his mouth to canonize Robb Stark as the Earl of Winterfell, but removed the titles of the guardian of the north and the duke. He is now the king's attendant, and he can return to the north when he reaches adulthood.

However, at this moment, Robb knelt on the ground and thanked His Majesty for not getting up yet, and the silver-haired young man sitting at the center of the stage suddenly spoke again.

He believed that the Stark family ruled the north for thousands of years, which had been deeply rooted and won the support of the people of the north, so he installed Robb Stark as the governor of the north.

"This…"

His words disappointed many northern nobles who secretly wanted to become the governor. Some of them were originally coveting the position of the governor of the North, but they did not expect that they would also be appointed by default.

But the next second Viserys' words rekindled the fire in their hearts.

Robb Stark, the governor of the North, was too young and inexperienced to govern the North, and he needed to study in King's Landing before returning to Winterfell when he was sixteen.

Therefore, during this time there needs to be a steward to replace Robb Stark to govern the entire North.

And this candidate is to be appointed by Robb Stark himself.

Hearing Viserys' words, all the nobles in the north present, including Eddard Stark in black and Lady Catelyn, all looked at each other in dismay.

"Who to choose?"

In the end, all eyes fell on the reddish-brown-haired boy, who suddenly became the Lord of Winterfell, the Governor of the North, from a squire again.

The expression on Robb Stark's face was a little dazed, but no one could give him a hint at this time, and he needed to make his own decisions in the future.

In the end, after his eyes swept over everyone around him, he gritted his teeth and decided on a candidate.

"Lord Rickard Karstark!"
