Chapter 701 Attitudes of all parties
The throne ceremony is not that complicated. Of course, this is considered simple. On the one hand, it is Ye Junwen's own request, and on the other hand, the treasury is really not rich and cannot be done. After the group entered the palace, Sir read a lot of things again. To be honest, Ye Junwen didn't know what it was. It was probably about telling the history of the Targaryen family before. Then he quickly mentioned Ye Junwen and talked about the identity fabricated by Ye Junwen. In short, it took more than twenty minutes to make a big concept. When Ye Junwen couldn't stand it, Varis next to him finally reminded Ye Junwen to go up and give the crown.
The person who awarded Ye Junwen the crown was a bishop. Of course, this bishop is not a big sparrow. He was not a person of this number at this time. The current bishop in the city is completely controlled by the royal family and has no practical rights. This crown is the one that Joffrey had brought before. When he was beaten to death by Ye Junwen, the crown was slightly deformed. The ministers asked someone to repair it a little and then use it directly.
After bringing the king's crown, Ye Junwen officially sat on the king's throne, the Iron Throne. To be honest, this is really not the first emperor to be Ye Junwen. Before, Ye Junwen sat on the throne of the Saint Wilan Empire. Later, he attacked other countries, sat on the throne of the Elf Kingdom, and the throne of the Segus Empire next door. This Iron Throne is the worst class Ye Junwen has ever sat on. I really don't know why these people have to make an iron chair. Isn't it cold in winter?
Fortunately, the king doesn't have to sit on this thing all the time, otherwise Ye Junwen would probably be frozen into a moon after sitting for a few days. In short, after Ye Junwen really sat on the Iron Throne, the entire throne ceremony was completed, and Ye Junwen officially became the lord of the Seven Kingdoms.
Of course, the lords of these seven countries are still nominally. No country in the seven countries has clearly expressed its recognition of this king. Ye Junwen also looked at the empty palace. There are basically no ministers around him now, and it seems that there are fewer people than two days ago. It is estimated that many people have run away in the past few days.
After waved his hand, Ye Junwen also invited Varis and the others to go to the conference room for a meeting. At present, the people who can speak are these ministers, and the others are small officials. It is useless to call them. They don’t know what kind of power they are. They will also expose information when they hold a meeting here directly, so it’s better to go to the conference room to hold an imperial meeting.
Of course, this imperial meeting can be said to be the most shabby imperial meeting. In addition, there are only four people in Ye Junwen, among which Ed is still a person who has no official title at present, and Ye Junwen has not restored his official position in the hands of the king. He is currently only a guardian of the northern border, and in theory, he is not even qualified to attend the conference, but who said that there is really no one now?
"Okay, let's report the current situation first." Ye Junwen spread his hands and said, of course, saying to Varis.
"The news of Your Majesty's ascending the throne has been spread to various kingdoms, and now all forces are probably aware of this." Varis said here, "Of course, when I sent the letter before, I also invited people from all parties to attend the throne ceremony..."
"No one came?" Ye Junwen asked.
"No, there is too late, no one can arrive," Varis said. "But whether to come or not or not is not a problem."
"Did anyone express their willingness to come?" Ye Junwen asked.
"Dorn's Prince Doron expressed his willingness to attend. Although he could not meet the throne ceremony, he would send someone over," said Varis.
"Oh?" Ye Junwen was a little surprised, "That is to say, Dorn is willing to support me?"
"This is not a clear statement. I guess I want to talk to you again and again," said Varis.
"Oh, that's how..." Ye Junwen nodded. He probably talked about the conditions. There was no problem. This is more normal. He just joined his side without asking anything. He was going to doubt it.
"The same response was also the Tyrier family in the river bay area, and the guardian of the southern border, the Duke of Tyrier replied that they also wanted to send someone to watch the ceremony, and of course they also said that they probably wouldn't be able to catch up." Varis said.
"The Tyrier family? Is it the one who rebels with Lan Li?" Ye Junwen asked.
"Yes, your majesty." Varis nodded, "If we could win them, our situation would be much better now. Hewandi is a very wealthy place, and the most powerful troops can be mobilized among the seven countries. At present, our biggest enemy, six to seventy thousand of the 100,000 troops of Renli, are soldiers from Hewandi. If they are fought over, there will be almost no threat to the south."
Varis also knew that Ye Junwen was not very familiar with the situation here, so he explained it clearly. He probably didn't live in Westeros before, but he didn't know if it was Essos.
"In this case, I'm afraid these people and lions will speak loudly." Ye Junwen said lightly, "What about the others?"
"Others...either there is no reply yet, such as the valley, so far, there is no news. Or... directly... not admitting that it is absolutely impossible for Lannister in the West and Baratheon in the East to reconcile with us." Varis said.
The Lannister family really couldn't reconcile. Ye Junwen beat Joffrey and Cersei to death, and of course there was no possibility of reconciliation. The Baratheon family was seized by Ye Junwen, so how could he admit that you, the emperor? As for the valley, Ye Junwen really had a headache. He had said something about neutrality before. Ye Junwen said that neutrality is a rebellion, but the other party refused to reply directly, and it was okay to pretend to be dead.
"Then it's the north..." Varis said, looking at Ed next to him. It was the Stark family in the north, but he still didn't express his attitude.
"Oh..." Ye Junwen also looked at Ed. He said before that he would show his position in two days and the time was up. At this time, Ed must make a statement.
"But your Majesty, I will report something before again." Varis here suddenly interrupted.
"What's the matter?" Ye Junwen asked.
"Two days ago, shortly after His Majesty left, we received news." Varis said, "In the war to the north, the Starks had an advantage, not only defeating the Lannister troops, but also capturing the Lannister eldest son, James Lannister."
"Oh?" Ye Junwen looked at Ed in surprise, "Your family is quite powerful in fighting."
"The dog is quite brave." Ed said.
"In other words, the heir of the Lannister family was arrested, right?" Ye Junwen said.
"More than that," said Varis. "Tywin has three children, the eldest son James and the second son Tyrion, who are currently in our prison, and the eldest daughter Cersei, who was killed by His Majesty before..."
"In other words, the Lannister family has no heirs?" Ye Junwen was stunned, "Then he would save one of them no matter what he said, right?"
"Yes, your majesty," Varis said.
Ye Junwen understood why Varys had to say this question before Ed answered. Yes, the attitude of the Northern Army is even more important now. If Ed did not mingle with Ye Junwen or even rebel directly, then he might have put James back and the Lannister family would have no restrictions. On the contrary, if Ed surrendered to Ye Junwen, then the hostage would be very important, and the Lannister family would be very passive all of a sudden.
The question now comes to Ed's side again, and it is obvious that his attitude is quite important. Ye Junwen looked at Ed and said, "Although you are not very familiar with me, you should be able to understand that I have always been very cruel to the enemy. Let's talk about it now. Do you want to be my enemy?"
"If Your Majesty can promise me something, I will surrender to Your Majesty in the North." Ed probably had already thought about it and said directly to Ye Junwen.
"Tell me," Ye Junwen asked without a surprise.
"I hope your Majesty... can leave blood for the Baratheon family." Ed thought for a while and said.
Pysir and Varis next to him were both stunned. Unexpectedly, Ed was so bold. You should know what family the Baratheon family is, that is, the royal family that Ye Junwen had just usurped the throne. Theoretically, if you usurped someone else's throne, you will naturally be eradicated and you can still leave children? This is not a hidden danger to your throne. Just think about how the Baratheon family did after usurped the Targaryen family. Robert even sent people to assassinate a teenage child across the strait because the other party was a royal family. Now Ed asked Ye Junwen to leave blood for the Baratheon family, which... is a bit too much.
Of course, Robert did these mainly because of his friendship with Robert. Yes, he also knew that his close friend Robert was not a good emperor, but he was his close friend after all. He has also seen Ye Junwen's dragon. To be honest, those who have never seen it with their own eyes don't know how terrible this thing is. The dragon has disappeared in Westeros for more than 150 years. It is estimated that most people have forgotten the power of the dragon, but Ed can imagine it. Although Ye Junwen is facing a large number of rebels, Ed feels that he can hold this position.
He did not want the northerners to really be enemies with such people, but surrendering to Ye Junwen was equivalent to betraying his close friend. After all, the usurped the throne of the Baratheon family, so incredibly entangled, Ed came up with the only way and asked Ye Junwen to keep the blood of the Baratheon family, which was the final reward for his close friend. As for Ye Junwen who refused, there was no way, he could only fight until the last moment.
