Chapter 514 The Imperial Conference

"What Her Royal Highness the Princess said makes sense. The war caused a sharp increase in the population of King's Landing."

"Although the church has donated a large amount of food and materials to provide relief, which has temporarily alleviated the famine, this is still not a long-term solution."

After hearing Rhaenis's rebuttal, the bald eunuch did not argue with his arguments. He just gave Rhaenis a friendly smile and continued following the words of Her Highness the Princess.

Wallis is a person who knows how to assess the situation very well. He knows that it is the most stupid behavior to have a dispute with His Majesty the King's most beloved princess over such a small issue.

"Therefore, there are only two matters that need to be resolved urgently before us, Your Majesty."

Varys then turned his head and looked at the silver-haired young man sitting in the middle of the long table in the royal conference hall.

"That is to launch the second war of conquest as soon as possible and unify the entire territory."

"Or start a public trial, conduct a public trial against the former usurper and his helpers, listen to their explanations, and then conduct a correct trial to show your justice."

"It is up to you to decide which of these two things comes first and who comes last. After all, you are the king."

"But they all need to be resolved as soon as possible."

King Robert, the Duke of the North, and a large number of captured nobles are still detained in the dungeon. They have been locked up for several months.

Life in the dungeon is not easy, especially for the adults who are usually pampered. I believe they have fully realized their mistakes and now they just want to die as soon as possible.

"Of course, Prince Oberyn is eager for revenge and wants to wait until he captures Tywin Lannister before conducting a trial. This is understandable, but"

There was silence in the imperial conference hall, and only Wallis's voice kept ringing.

Because now is the time for the Minister of Intelligence to give advice, he needs to take up a lot of time every time. Who makes him the busiest with his responsibilities, collecting intelligence from all over the country, and just sorting out the report takes a long time.

The bald eunuch carefully looked at Viserys's face, paused in his words, and then continued.

"According to the intelligence collected by my little bird, perhaps a little earlier than the battle report returned, Prince Oberyn seemed to have suffered a slight setback after burning 20,000 Lannister troops and capturing Crake Hall.

"

Varys's voice was high-pitched, expressing his opinions tactfully, implying that Viserys could not let Oberyn do what he wanted.

"Bring me the information."

When Viserys heard what Varys said, he frowned slightly, then took the information from his hand, opened it and glanced at it briefly.

To put it simply, Oberyn seemed careless, perhaps a little too eager for success.

He arranged for Tywin Lannister to join forces in the Caves, and then quickly moved to conquer the towns in the West one after another.

Then he burned 20,000 Lannister troops in the Red Lake, forcing Tywin to hang his cousin and uncle Stafford in tears.

However, age is still too old, and Tywin suffered some losses when he first faced the younger and sharper Oberyn.

But then Tywin calmed down and took steps, steadily, not giving Oberyn any chance.

Because Oberyn promised Viserys to conquer the West before the public trial, he was a little eager for success and made the mistakes that many young generals would make.

When the Targaryen army occupied Crake Hall and attacked Lannisport along the Riverbend Road,

The way back was cut off.

It turned out that the Oakheart family of Ancient Oak City in the Reach, which had always had a feud with Dorne, took action.

Although Lady Egwene Oakheart's youngest son, Arys of the Kingsguard, died during the coup in King's Landing, the Lannister family shifted the responsibility to the gold robes, which was justified.

After all, Cersei couldn't have ordered her brother to be killed, she just asked for the two Kingsguard to be disarmed.

But they didn't expect that the Golden Robes actually directly killed the assassin, which led to the death of Ser Arys Oakheart. This was the mistake of the Golden Robes. The commander of the Capital Guard who surrendered to the Targaryen family and was deposed should be put on trial.

Janos Sterling's responsibility, not Queen Cersei's.

Therefore, when Tywin suffered successive failures and Feishu asked Ancient Oak City for help, Mrs. Egwene Oakheart hesitated and finally agreed.

Then she sent soldiers from Ancient Oak City to cut off the Targaryen army's retreat from behind, and sneak attacked and captured Crake Hall where there were not many soldiers left.

The enmity between the Oakhearts and Dorne has spread for hundreds of years, and even the murals in Ancient Oak City record it all.

In the twelfth year of Aegon's calendar, during the First War of Conquest, Lord Wel of Were led people to secretly infiltrate the wedding of Aly Oakheart and Jon Cavron.

After castrating the groom and killing Aly's father, Lord Oakheart, and most of the wedding guests, the Dornishmen humiliated the bride and her maids, and sold them to slavers in Myr.

This incident has always been regarded as a great shame and humiliation by the Oakheart family, but these old events are certainly not the direct reason why Lady Egwene Oakheart decided to become the enemy of the Targaryen family.

In the final analysis, it is still about profit. Like many Westeros nobles, she listened to Tywin's propaganda and could not accept that one day in the future, civilians could be equal to the nobles, and the nobles gradually lost their status and power.

Hatred can always be resolved by benefits, it just depends on whether the price is high enough.

"No wait."

After reading the entire information, Viserys put it down, took a deep breath and then spoke.

He didn't blame Oberyn for underestimating the enemy and rushing in. Tywin Lannister had never been an easy person to deal with, so it was acceptable for the two of them to win or lose each other.

"Rhynys."

Then the silver-haired young man turned his head and said.

"You ride Rhaegal to support Oberyn."

The girl with long brown hair was stunned for a moment, then an eager expression appeared on her face and she nodded.

"good."

On the other side of the West, although Oberyn suffered a slight loss at the hands of the experienced Lord Tywin, Viserys still trusted his relative very much.

When Viserys sent a dragon knight to assist in the battle, there was almost no need to worry about the battle situation in the West anymore.

Seeing that Viserys had listened to his advice, the bald eunuch narrowed his eyes.

Then he took a deep breath, straightened his back, and pulled out another piece of information from his cuff and handed it to Viserys.

"Your Majesty, there is another piece of information about the valley, Lord Petyr Baelish."
