Chapter 762 Brother Aegon

"Uncle Viserys."

King's Landing, in the gardens of the Red Keep.

Since Aegon left the Red Keep and joined St. Baelor's Cathedral, he has rarely returned to the Red Keep, except for his sister Renice and his uncle Oberyn who occasionally visited him, and the rest was Penance in the sanctuary.

The dreams and ambitions of the past were gradually worn away in the penance of the church.

Little Aegon grew up and understood his own situation. At the same time, he also abandoned some unrealistic fantasies and became more calm and capable.

However, when he saw his second uncle with great powers again, his heart couldn't help beating faster.

There are many reasons for Aegon to be nervous. Some are because children do bad things and see their parents feel a little guilty, while others are because their majesty and reverence have always made them bow their heads involuntarily.

Viserys is Aegon's idol, although Aegon has not talked about it publicly, but in his heart his uncle is more powerful than his father Rhaegar.

His father Rhaegar was also widely known as the 'Silver Prince' and was widely loved and welcomed by the people. However, no matter how popular he was, he still lost the battle and lost the Iron Throne of House Targaryen. It was Uncle Viserys who won it back.

Because Aegon was educated by the heir to the royal family since he was a child, he began to learn how to be a good ruler before he learned to walk. Therefore, when Viserys had no heir, Aegon always had an ambition hidden in his heart.

However, these ambitions eventually led him to take off his crown and become a monk who was forced to give up his surname.

In the end, the last bit of ambition hidden in Aegon's heart was completely shattered until his sister, Rhaenys, gave birth to a son for Viserys.

But luck and misfortune are interdependent, which indirectly led to the burden that Aegon had always been carrying was also released, and his mood became more open and clear, which was not necessarily a bad thing in the end.

But in the final analysis, there is Aegon's shadow behind the matter of the Archbishop, and he still can't help but feel nervous when facing his uncle.

To Aegon's surprise, however, Viserys did not blame him.

"Aegon, do you want to be the archbishop?"

Viserys stood on the city wall behind the Red Fort, overlooking the endless Blackwater Bay in the distance. Ships lined up on the sea to enter the port, and the port of King's Landing was full of heat and prosperity.

And Aegon hesitated slightly when he heard his uncle's question, took a deep breath and tried to calm his heartbeat, then looked at Viserys' back, chose not to lie, nodded and said.

"Well, yes, uncle."

"I want to be the archbishop."

Aegon would be exposed every time he lied in front of Viserys since he was a child, which also cast a deep psychological shadow on this child since he was a child.

However, eating a cut grows a wiser.

Aegon grew up to face the lies that Viserys had practised in the church, and finally swallowed it and chose to admit it bluntly.

And Viserys heard that Aegon did not choose to lie, but directly admitted that the outbreak of the Archbishop scandal was his plan.

Immediately, he turned his head slightly to look at each other.

As Aegon faced the gaze of the Supreme Emperor of the Empire, his heartbeat that had just stabilized accelerated again, and his breathing couldn't help but be a little short.

Yes, the Archbishop's scandal was his responsibility.

He found a few fanatical believers. Aegon once lived with the 'sparrows', and even had direct face-to-face communication with the 'big sparrows', and even lived in the 'sparrows' nest'. Geng could see at a glance which stunned greens could be used.

If the 'sparrows' did not perish, these people would definitely be good 'sparrows' candidates.

Because these were people without brains, Aegon casually revealed a few words 'unintentionally' and sighed a few times, and they became props used by Aegon, and he didn't even look back.

And all this because Aegon was no longer satisfied with continuing to mix seniority in the church.

Because although Aegon was born in the royal family and was almost born in Rome on the starting line, in a place like the church, he still has to have mixed qualifications step by step. Even if he has some resumes and identities, he is destined to become an archbishop.

However, Aegon still had to wait until his teacher, Archbishop Fatty, died of old age, before he could become an Archbishop, and then wait until the next Archbishop died before he could go further as an Archbishop.

But Aegon couldn't wait any longer, and he really couldn't get used to the behavior in the church today, so he sped up the process a little bit, and used his status to win relations and build momentum.

Aegon relied on his sister, Queen Renice, his uncle, Prince Oberyn, and another adoptive father, Chancellor of the Exchequer Illyrio, Minister of Intelligence Varys, etc. The guy greeted all parties for him.

Therefore, the archbishops from all over the church came to King's Landing and received pressure and human relations from all sides. Naturally, they couldn't stand it, so they compromised.

How to do?

Would Uncle Viserys be mad about it?

How will he punish me?

Aegon's mind went blank as he faced Viserys, his chest heaving and breathing rapidly, his heart almost jumping out of his throat.

"why?"

But at this moment, Aegon finally heard Viserys' voice, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving driftwood and letting out a big breath.

"Because I don't like their behavior."

"Uncle Viserys."

Viserys' voice calmly asked why Aegon did this, and Aegon took a deep breath after experiencing what had just happened, and his mind became much clearer.

"Although I can't transform the church into an extreme fanatical organization like the High Sparrow, I should at least let the church play its due role."

"It should be the ultimate harbor for believers, protect the suffering people, ease conflicts and stabilize society, not a machine for plundering money."

Aegon made no secret of his connection with the High Sparrow.

At that time, he regarded himself as the heir of the king, so he hoped to get the support of the lower class from the High Sparrow, but in the end he was beaten severely by Viserys.

If it were Aegon who was many years ago, he might have tried his best to clear the connection between himself and the High Sparrow, but now Aegon is like a blessing in his heart, and he suddenly figured out what he should do.

Since Uncle Viserys only knew things, it was useless to keep concealing things in front of him.
