Viserys's coronation as emperor was a big event, but an even bigger thing was his claim to Valyria.
In fact, the real government decisions are made as early as in the Royal Council, and the meeting in the Throne Room is an opportunity to send signals to the outside world.
The Iron Throne's claim to Valyria will naturally cause a backlash from the trading city-states, because although they each claim to be the successors of the great empire, none of them has the strength to restore the Free Fortress. However, Viserys has this strength
.
This is the biggest contradiction.
Although everyone is full of admiration for the great empire thousands of years ago, people can imagine how extremely luxurious the capital of this empire, Valyria, was, how majestic the army was, and how powerful it was when hundreds of dragons were flying.
What a sight.
However, except for themselves, perhaps no one wants to see this great empire return to the world.
Because in addition to the praise and longing for Valyria, there are also the blood and tears shed by the many city-states and countries enslaved by it.
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way!"
Tread
Early the next morning, many cavalrymen carrying official documents rushed out of King's Landing.
flutter
Dozens of ravens kept in the Red Keep were also released at once, with messages tied to their bodies to be delivered to every inch of the empire in Westeros, Pentos and Andalos.
In King's Landing City, a soldier from the Capital City Guard posted notices on the streets and alleys of King's Landing City, which soon attracted many people and businessmen to watch.
"What's written on it?"
"Can anyone understand?"
Although King's Landing is the capital of Westeros, the literacy rate of the people here is still very low, and most of them are illiterate, so they can only turn to people who can read for help.
"The two hundred and ninety-fifth year of Aegon's calendar, the third year of New Calendar"
Among the crowd of spectators in Shoemaker's Square was a literate man. He looked very young, had long light blond hair, wore light brown leather armor, and a Targaryen cloak hanging from his waist.
A long sword.
His name is Cam from Flea Bottom. He was once a mercenary and participated in the Golden Company's siege of King's Landing. Later, when the capital of the Seven Kingdoms surrendered, he also joined the Second Legion.
Then the Second War of Conquest broke out, and Caim followed their king Viserys to personally attack the Stormlands. The young man with light blond hair took the lead in the battle and was the first to board the Bronze Gate City.
He was appreciated by Viserys, who personally made him a knight.
He was one of the few knights conferred by the king who was not a nobleman. Therefore, Cam was flattered and grateful. He was extremely loyal to the king in his heart and even regarded him as a god.
After all, how many people in this world can win this honor?
Cam was made a knight, and then after the war, he received a village fief as a reward. The fief was located in the Riverlands. He successfully became a "village chief" and grew up from a flea hole in one leap.
The children became the lowest class nobles.
This is something that Cam never dreamed of when he was a child.
However, times have changed now. The biggest change after Viserys became king is to give many opportunities to the common people and break the monopoly of the old nobles.
In the wave of this new era, opportunities exist at every moment, even hitting him like raindrops, and Kaim will naturally not let it go.
Later, he did not serve as the 'village chief' for long, and because he led the village warriors to repel the Brotherhood's attacks several times, he took advantage of the situation and led the group of peasants to pursue them, wiped out these bandits, and obtained the title of Minister of the Sea of the Kingdom.
Appreciation from Lord Bracken, Governor of the Riverlands.
So Lord Bracken summoned him to Riverrun, made an exception and gave him a precious recommendation spot, and sent him to the Military Academy in King's Landing for further training.
As the king's most trusted minister, Geoffrey Bracken naturally knew how much Viserys valued the reform of the academy, and the Military Academy was the top priority, with Viserys paying the most attention.
Therefore, the first batch of recommended places to join the academy are very cherished. If you seize the opportunity, you may be able to rise to the top and change your destiny. If you miss this opportunity, you may regret it for the rest of your life.
Therefore, the first batch of students who did not take this learning opportunity seriously will not be punished, because this is their irresponsibility for their own destiny.
The young and promising Keim listened to the Governor's advice and seized this opportunity to study seriously in the academy.
From the very beginning, he learned to read. The young man who was once born in Flea Bottom was not only able to read now, but also won the first place in the monthly exams several times in a row.
"In accordance with the determination to rebuild Valyria, the Targaryens filed a claim to the ancient empire and changed the country's name to Valyria."
"I will ascend the throne and become the first emperor of Valyria. From now on, I will continue until the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, until the rivers dry up and the mountains blow away like withered leaves."
Kaim, the officer of the Second Legion, was wearing the cloak of the Targaryen family, holding the hilt of his sword and reciting the contents of the official document word by word.
The people and merchants surrounding him were listening carefully. At first they didn't understand, but later they couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
"Has His Majesty been crowned emperor?"
"Your Majesty will rebuild Valyria?"
The people of King's Landing didn't understand what kind of political trend the Iron Throne's move represented, but they still felt inspired from the bottom of their hearts and couldn't help but chant Viserys's name.
Because this symbolizes the strength of the country. And a strong country is naturally free from external intrusion, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. When facing merchants from across the narrow sea, they can hold their heads high and feel proud.
"King Viserys!"
"Your Majesty the King!"
"Wrong! We should call His Majesty the Emperor now!"
"The most glorious Emperor of the Andals, Rhoynar and Valyrians ascends the throne. Long live His Majesty!"
Notices were posted in the streets and alleys of King's Landing, and the people cheered and poured into the square below the Red Castle like a tide, shouting His Majesty the Emperor's name toward the palace above.
The merchants from the trading city-states traveling between Westeros and Essos couldn't help but change their faces slightly after seeing these notices.
They instinctively felt that something big was going to happen, so they hurried back to their residences and wrote letters to their hometowns, telling them what happened in King's Landing.
