Five hundred and ninetieth chapters canonized Robb
At the public trial, Eddard Stark, the former Warden of the North and Duke of Winterfell, admitted all the crimes he had committed, causing boos from the people present.
Lord Eddard Stark's noble character, impartiality, and reputation are well-known in the Seven Kingdoms. However, these are only known among the noble circles, and he has not tried his best to publicize them. Ordinary people in King's Landing are not qualified to know about the high-ranking Duke Eddard.
Who exactly is he?
In their view, this is a Yankee with an arrogant personality and a cold demeanor. In recent years, there have been particularly many northerners in King's Landing. Most of them have flowed into the city due to the war, squeezing the living space of many people in King's Landing.
, naturally caused dissatisfaction and regional conflicts.
The people of King's Landing do not like northerners, and in their eyes, Eddard Stark is just like those annoying northerners, with a rough temper, a serious appearance, and an unsmiling nature.
Now that I heard Eddard Stark admit all his crimes, there were naturally a lot of boos, but the shackled former Northern Warden standing in the center turned a deaf ear. This was what his wife Caitlin had told him in advance.
if.
His wife paid a heavy price, and the northerners would naturally not let go at the last step.
Eddard Stark then knelt on his knees, kowtowed and begged the new king for forgiveness. He was willing to take off his crown and put on black clothes to join the Night's Watch and guard the north for the kingdom.
Viserys also forgave Eddard Stark's crime, allowed him to put on black clothes, become a soldier of the Night's Watch, and start from scratch.
Although this is a script that was arranged in advance after reaching a political compromise, it must be performed again to punish the crime and demonstrate the king's kindness.
"Lord Stark."
Eddard Stark was unshackled, and the soldier of the Night's Watch, Yoren the Raven, put him in black clothes.
This officially announced that the former Duke of Winterfell had joined the Night's Watch and became an ordinary soldier under Commander-in-Chief Jeor Mormont. He would then join the army in the expedition to the north to regain his homeland.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"King of the Seven Kingdoms!"
The scene of Viserys's act of mercy immediately resounded with the clamor of the northern nobles. This honorable and upright prince won the respect and love of many northern families.
Although the final outcome is not very good, at least one life was saved, right?
After Ed Stark's matter is dealt with, there is still an important question before us, that is, who should be handed over as governor of the North?
The people in the north have a strong will and hope that the people in the north will manage the people in the north. The position of governor is a political, economic and legal position in the definition of the new dynasty, but it does not involve military power. The army is led by the commander of the legion.
However, in the war to regain the northern territory, Viserys was not prepared to use his direct forces anymore. They had been fighting for years and had just conquered the Seven Kingdoms for him. Naturally, they should take some time to recuperate.
Therefore, the war to regain the North still needs to be fought by the North and the Night's Watch themselves, just like the Iron Islands. Euron Greyjoy and the Ironborn have been busy recently burning the corpses, bit by bit.
The cleanup of Pike Island.
But in fact, there is not much resistance there. The main force of the Dead Army has retreated to the north of the Great Wall. What Viserys saw twice when he went north was that there were only some remaining corpses, and even the aliens.
There are no traces of ghosts, so there is no need to mobilize the power of the whole country to fight.
However, Viserys had already made plans for the next Governor of the North, so when all the nobles in the North looked at each other with their eyes flickering, he asked his attendant Robb Stark to stand in front.
, kneeling beside his father.
"His Majesty."
After coming back to his senses, the auburn-haired boy immediately understood what had happened.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Gendry."
He quickly handed the wine bottle in his hand to his friend Gendry.
Gendry was Viserys's earliest servant. Like many illegitimate children, his mother was a maid in a tavern in King's Landing, but he did not know who his father was.
Then he followed his master and was kidnapped to the other side of the narrow sea. Later, because of his simple and sensible character, he became Viserys's attendant.
Gendry took Robb's flagon, and then saw Robb running down the stage to his father's side.
"Father!"
The auburn-haired boy looked a little excited and uneasy, but he received an encouraging hug from Ed Stark.
"Robb."
"From now on, your mother and younger siblings will be left to you to take care of."
Ed hugged his eldest son tightly, feeling a little mixed in his heart. After he was assigned to the Night's Watch, Robb naturally became the Lord of Winterfell, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Go ahead."
Eddard told Robb to kneel down facing Viserys.
Later, Viserys made Robb Stark the Earl of Winterfell, but removed his title of Warden of the North and Duke. He is now a servant of the king and can return to the north when he reaches adulthood.
However, at this moment, when Robb was kneeling on the ground and thanking His Majesty for not getting up, the silver-haired young man sitting in the center of the stage suddenly spoke again.
He believed that the Stark family's rule over the north for thousands of years had been deeply rooted and won the support of the people in the north, so he named Robb Stark the governor of the north.
"this…"
His words greatly disappointed many northern nobles who secretly aspired to become the governor. Some of them were originally coveting the position of northern governor, but they did not expect that they would also be appointed.
But the next second Viserys' words rekindled the fire in their hearts.
The Governor of the North, Robb Stark, is too young and does not have enough experience to govern the North. He needs to study in King's Landing and cannot return to Winterfell until he is sixteen years old.
Therefore, a steward was needed to replace Robb Stark to govern the entire North during this time.
This candidate will be chosen by Robb Stark himself.
After hearing Viserys' words, all the northern nobles present, including Eddard Stark and Lady Catelyn, who were dressed in black, all looked at each other in shock.
"Who to choose?"
In the end, all eyes fell on the auburn-haired boy. Suddenly, he became the Lord of Winterfell and the Governor of the North from a squire. The ups and downs in his life were nothing more than this.
The expression on Robb Stark's face was slightly confused, but no one could remind him at this time that he would still need to make his own decisions in the future.
Finally, after scanning everyone around him, he gritted his teeth and decided on a candidate.
