Chapter 664 Reconstruction
The coronation of Viserys was a big deal, but the bigger thing was his claim to Valyria.
In fact, the real government decision was made early in the Imperial Council, and the previous court in the Throne Hall was an opportunity to release a signal to the outside world.
The Iron Throne's claim to Valyria will naturally cause a backlash from the trade city-states, because although they each claim to be the heirs of a great empire, none of the city-states have the strength to restore the fortress of freedom, but Viserys has this strength .
This is the biggest contradiction.
Although everyone is full of admiration for the great empire thousands of years ago, people can imagine how luxurious the capital Valyria of this empire must be, how majestic the army is, when hundreds of dragons are flying What a sight.
But perhaps no one but themselves would want to see this great empire come back into the world.
Because in addition to the praises and longings about Valyria, there are blood and tears shed by the many city-states and nations enslaved by it.
"Step aside!"
"Step aside!"
Tread
The next morning, many cavalrymen with official documents rushed out of King's Landing.
fluttering--
Dozens of ravens raised in the Red Fort were also released in one breath. Letters tied to their bodies were sent to Westeros, even Pentos and Andalos, and every inch of the empire's territory.
In Jun's Landing, a soldier of the famous capital city guards posted a notice on the streets and alleys of Jun's Landing, which soon attracted many people and businessmen to watch.
"What's written on it?"
"Can anyone understand?"
Although King's Landing is the capital of Westeros, the literacy rate of the people here is still very low, and most of them are illiterate, so they can only turn to people who can read.
"Aegon's calendar is two hundred and ninety-five years, and the new calendar is three years."
There was still a literate man in the crowd on the cobbler's square. He was very young, with long light blond hair, wearing light brown leather armor, and wearing a Targaryen cloak, hanging from his waist. A long sword.
His name is Kaim from the flea nest. He used to be a mercenary. He participated in the battle of the Golden Corps' siege of King's Landing. Later, with the surrender of Kaesong, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, he also joined the Second Corps.
Then the second war of conquest broke out. Kaim followed their king Viserys to attack the Stormlands. The light-blond-haired young man made the first move in the battle. He was the first to board the bronze gate city. Appreciated by Viserys, he was named a knight by the handbook.
He was one of the few knights who were not from nobles among the knights personally entrusted by the king, so Kaim was flattered, grateful to Dade, and his loyalty to the king in his heart was unbearable, and he even regarded him as a god.
After all, how many people in this world can receive this honor?
Kaim was made a knight, and then after the war he got a village fief as a reward. The fief was located in the riverlands. He successfully became a 'village chief' and grew up from a flea den. children of the lowest class of nobles.
This was something that Kaim could never have dreamed of when he was a child.
However, the times have changed now. The biggest change after Viserys became the king is to give the commoners many opportunities and break the monopoly of the old nobles.
In the wave of this new era, opportunities exist all the time, and even hit him like raindrops, and Kaim will naturally not let it go.
Afterwards, he did not serve as the 'village chief' for a long time, and because he led the villagers to repel the attacks of the Brotherhood several times, he took the opportunity to chase after the peasants, killed these robbers, and obtained the kingdom's maritime minister. Appreciation from Lord Brecon, Governor of the Riverlands.
So Lord Bracken summoned him to Riverrun, gave him a precious recommendation, and sent him to the Military Academy in King's Landing.
Geoffrey Bracken, as the king's most trusted minister, naturally knew how much Viserys attached great importance to the reform of the academy, and the military academy was the top priority, and Viserys paid the most attention.
Therefore, the first batch of places recommended to join the academy is very cherished. If you seize the opportunity, you may be able to directly rise to the top and change your destiny. If you miss this opportunity, you may regret it for the rest of your life.
So the first batch of students who did not take this learning opportunity as one thing will not be punished, because it is their irresponsibility for their own destiny.
The young and promising Kaim listened to the advice of the Governor and seized this opportunity to study in the academy seriously.
He started from the first learning to read, and the young man who was born in the flea nest not only can read now, but also won the first place in the monthly test several times in a row.
"According to the determination to rebuild Valyria, the Targaryen family filed a claim on the ancient empire and changed the country's name to Valyria."
"I shall ascend to the throne as the first emperor of Valyria, and from then on, until the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, and when the rivers dry up and the mountains fall like dead leaves in the wind."
The officer of the Second Legion, Keim, was wearing the cloak of the Targaryen family. Holding the hilt of his sword, he recited the contents of the emperor's decree word by word. This is Viserys's handwriting. , so the above is all in the first person of Viserys.
The people around him and the merchants in King's Landing were listening carefully. At first, they didn't understand, but they couldn't help but make an uproar.
"Has your majesty been crowned emperor?"
"Your Majesty is going to rebuild Valyria?"
The people of King's Landing didn't understand what kind of political wind the Iron Throne's move represented, but they were still excited from the bottom of their hearts and couldn't help shouting the name of Viserys.
Because it symbolizes the strength of the country. A strong and prosperous country is naturally free from external intrusion, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and when facing the merchants from the other side of the narrow sea, they can hold their heads up and raise their eyebrows.
"King Viserys!"
"Your Majesty the King!"
"Wrong! We should call His Majesty the Emperor now!"
"The Emperor of the Andals, Roina and Valyrians ascends the throne. Long live the Emperor!"
The notices of Junlin Street were posted, and the people cheered and rushed to the square below the Red Fort like a tide, shouting the name of His Majesty the Emperor to the palace above.
And the merchants from the trading city-states between Westeros and Essos couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw these notices.
They instinctively felt that something big was going to happen, so they hurried back to their residence and wrote a letter to their hometown to tell them what happened in King's Landing.
