Trystane gave his brother an idea, suggesting that he call on more Dornish nobles loyal to the Martell family to launch a coup to regain the power that should belong to him while his nephew Horos has not yet taken control of the situation.
Trystane even suggested that Quentin might as well cut it off now.
However, this suggestion was so harsh that it was difficult for Quentin to accept it from a psychological and emotional level. Coupled with Quentin's cautious character, he did not agree for the time being.
But Quentin thought about the other methods that Tristan proposed, and now he has no other better ideas.
Although he didn't want to break up with his nephew, he was the one who made the move first, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
The two brothers, Quentin Martell and Trystane Martell, princes of Dorne, were plotting a rebellion. They began to secretly gather trustworthy candidates and contact other Dornish nobles.
However, it is a pity that most of the Dornish nobles politely refused after receiving requests for help from the brothers Quentin and Trystane.
Because after the establishment of the empire, they experienced the rebellion of the Fowler family in Tianji City and a series of trainings, the ambition and unruliness of the Dornish nobles have been relatively smoothed away a lot.
What's more, this matter originally originated from Prince Daolang's own order. Prince Daolang was not coerced by anyone, and they did not violate their oath, so they were unwilling to get involved.
However, there are some Dornish nationalists who believe that Dorne should be ruled by Dornishmen.
Although His Highness Horos has some Dornish blood, he is still a Valyrian to the core. The royal family's reaching out to Dorne is an act that crosses the line. The Emperor promised Dorne that he could maintain his transcendent status.
.
Therefore, people who held these ideas and some of Quentin Martell's friends were gathered together to secretly prepare for a coup.
The person they have to deal with is not just Heros, but they also have to guard against his dragons and the people bribed by Heros.
For example, Obaya Sand, the eldest sister of the Sand Snakes, currently leads the garrison of Sunspear City. She leads a heavy army to garrison the triple gate of Sunspear City.
This is a key part of Sunspear City. Unlike the curved wall, the complicated and winding curved wall will only be attacked when foreign enemies attack.
The triple gate provides a convenient way to reach the inner city. Visitors can go directly through the triple curved wall and reach the Old Palace, without having to walk several miles around the maze-like city.
The Old Palace is where Heros is staying today. It is an ancient palace full of Luoyinna characteristics. The famous Spear Tower and Sun Tower stand in the Old Palace.
After Nymeria and her people landed in Dorne and married Morse Martell, the construction of the Spear Tower and the Tower of the Sun began, representing the union of Martell's Spear and Loyinna's Sun.
In addition to the two towers, the Old Palace contains at least a banquet hall and a study for the Prince of Dorne. His Royal Highness Prince Horos Targaryen is currently resting in this study.
The Grand Steward of the Old Palace is Yilia Sand, the eldest of the four daughters of Prince Oberyn and his mistress Ellaria.
She likes riding horses and jousting, and is good at using spears. Yinlia is named after her aunt Yinlia Martell, who is also the grandmother of Horos.
The Sand Snake sisters have been in King's Landing for many years. Even the youngest Sand Snake sister, Lori Sand, was a childhood playmate of Horos, and their father was still loyal to Horos.
Therefore, the Sand Snake sisters were one of the first people to be bribed by Horos.
The plan they made was to cooperate with the inside and outside, and attack Sunspear's three gates from the outside unexpectedly, while the inside should be bribed in the old palace to capture Horos alive.
This would prevent the dragons of Horos from arriving in time to rescue the enemy, and would also force Sunspear's garrison commander, Obaya Sand, to surrender.
Quentin and Trystane thought their plan was perfect.
After contacting many Dornish nobles who were willing to participate, a coup was finally launched in the early morning of one day.
Quentin and Trystane have lived in Sunspear for so many years as princes of Dorne, and are naturally very familiar with the people and terrain here.
"who?"
"It's me, open the door!"
They first tricked him into opening the first of the three gates. The soldiers of Sunspear did not doubt that he was there. When they saw the prince returning from hunting, they opened the city gate and let them into the city.
However, Quentin and Tristan looked at each other at this moment and suddenly ordered to take action.
"No mercy!"
"kill!"
"Capture the city gate!"
The Dornish noble soldiers following the two Martell brothers already knew what they were going to do. They suddenly became angry. They pulled out the scimitars from their waists and rushed forward.
On the other side, the soldiers of Sunspear were caught off guard by the two Dornish princes and were chopped down to the ground. The remaining soldiers also reacted and started to counterattack with bucklers and spears in hand.
However, it was still too late. After all, Quentin and Trystane came prepared and caught their opponents off guard.
Therefore, the first gate of the three gates was quickly captured, and then Quentin and Tristan led their troops to attack the second gate of Sunspear without stopping.
But this time it won't be so easy for them, because the soldiers inside have already been prepared.
Peng Peng Peng
The city walls of Sunspear are tall and strong, with arrows raining down from the top of the city, preventing the rebels from attacking the city. The attack of Quentin and Trystane, the brothers of the Martell family, was hindered.
On the other side, Quentin and Tristan suddenly launched a coup, and the news quickly spread to the old palace.
Horos woke up from his sleep and received the news. Then, as Quentin expected, he left the heavily guarded bedroom belonging to the Prince of Dorne and set off for the Tower of the Sun.
The Tower of the Sun is the main fortress of the Old Palace. It is extremely strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It has golden vaults and leaded glass, and beneath the vaults lies the Throne Room, a circular room with thick windows, stained glass, and a floor of pale marble.
There are two almost identical seats on the high platform in the throne room of the Tower of the Sun. The back of one of the chairs is the golden gun symbol of the Martell family, and the back of the other chair is the sunburst pattern of Luo Yin.
Horos set off to the Tower of the Sun to discuss countermeasures, and the internal agents that Quentin and Trystane had bribed suddenly launched an attack when their guard was at their lowest on the road.
