"I believe Prince Doran is not such a stupid person."
Beside Viserys, there was an illusory shadow floating between the two people. Jon Connington looked at his wife with sad eyes, and then turned to Oberyn.
Oberyn was his good friend. Although the two had a slight conflict over the issue of countering the rebellion, Jon Connington never denied this.
However, thinking about it now, if Oberyn had led the troops to Dorne to quell the rebellion on his behalf, would it have been smoother?
At least Oberyn has a special status. He is the prince of Dorne. He leads the soldiers to arrest the criminals on the Iron Throne. No one in the Dorne family except the Fowler family dares to participate in it, let alone cover up and protect Fowler.
family.
The Martell family's prestige in Dorne is still very high, and they may even be able to directly ask Franklin Fowler to capture him without a fight.
Then he was taken to King's Landing for trial. Considering the circumstances of his surrender, he might even get a chance to wear black clothes.
Wouldn't this be a better solution?
No.
Of course it's not.
Jon Connington knows very well that the fundamental issue between Dorne and the Iron Throne is not these, otherwise the attitude of Prince Doran, the father-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor, would not be unpredictable.
Because this involves the fundamental interests of Dorne, it is almost equivalent to conquering Dorne without any blood.
The Martell family is not willing to just kneel down and surrender without using a sword or a shot, otherwise their clan language would not be called "Unyielding".
Although Jon Connington encountered some obstacles when he led the army on the expedition, it showed the current strength of the Iron Throne and broke the illusions of some Dorne nobles. As long as he successfully withdraws his troops, Dorne's problems can be safely solved.
But the problem was himself. He accidentally died on the battlefield. In order to avenge him, Viserys vented his anger, so he went on a killing spree and burned down the castle. This led to the subsequent situation that broke the relationship between him and Viserys at the beginning.
Reese's plan.
"Well...but I believe that not many people can still visit their own funeral in their lifetime."
Then Jon Clinton said again as if he was mocking himself.
It seemed that after a few days, he had come out of the gloom and became a little more optimistic.
His soul was floating and standing there uncertainly, while the attendant Robb who was following Viserys shivered slightly, feeling the cold wind around him and a slight chill on the back of his neck.
"You are already dead."
"This is not a lifetime."
At this moment, Viserys was still standing in the newly built garden behind the Imperial Military Academy. It was still drizzling here, with green grass and many flowers and plants planted on the ground.
Now the soldiers have dug a large pit in advance and are struggling to lift Jon Clinton's coffin from the carriage.
"Ah? Your Majesty?"
"Who are you talking to?"
However, Viserys suddenly spoke into the air, startling the red-haired boy next to him who was feeling cold and uncomfortable.
On the other side, Queen Arianne, who was holding Lady Bess's hand with one hand and holding her long skirt in the other hand as she came down from the carriage, also glanced this way.
She didn't know what these men were talking about, but it was obvious that the Hand of the King in his prime was suddenly killed in Dorne, which made many ambitious people ready to take action.
The choice of the next Prime Minister will inevitably go through a bloody storm.
"Sister, don't be sad, think about the good things."
"Fortunately you are pregnant with Lord Clinton's flesh and blood, otherwise the foundation of Storm's End"
Then Arianne turned her head and continued to comfort the heartbroken girl beside her.
…
"We are all saddened by Lord Jon's unexpected passing, Your Majesty."
Jon Clinton's coffin was very heavy, and the soldiers hoisted it with ropes while shouting slogans and were lowering it into the hole dug in advance.
At this moment, there was still some water in the pit due to the rain. A soldier slipped and accidentally fell in. He was chewed up by a dog, but fortunately, he was not seriously injured.
However, at this moment, Minister of Intelligence Varys, who was also watching the ceremony and wearing a large robe, walked over to Viserys and said.
"Lord Oberyn."
Then he said hello to Oberyn next to Viserys, and then spoke directly without any hesitation.
"But the position of Prime Minister is of great importance. He is your Majesty's right-hand man and the most important minister in the entire empire."
"So although I don't want to mention it at this time, please forgive me."
"I still want to ask Your Majesty what to do next. Is there a suitable candidate?"
Jon Clindu unexpectedly and suddenly died on the battlefield, and the issue of the next Prime Minister must be put on the agenda.
During this period, many people in the court, both openly and secretly, began to have secret relationships, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
The ministers in the court include the Minister of Agriculture, Allister Florent, and others. He has united a group of nobles and has the support of the Tyrell family, the former lord. Since hearing the news of Jon's death, he has begun to covet the next king.
position of prime minister.w.;
Alister Florent thinks that he is the oldest and has rich experience and can help His Majesty in governing the country.
Even governors from other regions have joined the competition, including Mistoyne, the commander of the Golden Company, Governor of the West, Euron Greyjoy of the Iron Islands, Littlefinger of the Vale, etc.
They also believed that they had a good understanding of governing the country and could become His Majesty's right-hand man.
At the same time, there are still some voices in the political situation in King's Landing, which are the two former Prime Ministers.
It is hoped that one of the two 'retired' prime ministers can be chosen to wear the medal of the King's Hand again and return to his original position.
However, of the two former Prime Ministers of the Targaryen family, one is very senior but too old, and the other is the Prince of Dorne who is not popular with everyone.
A considerable number of people who hold this part of the voice are Dornish people, while the remaining people dislike the Dornish people and are unwilling to support Oberyn. Therefore, these voices supporting the return of the former Prime Minister are full of divisions.
However, among them, Mistoin is considered one of the closest candidates, and he has the highest possibility of becoming the next Prime Minister.
Although the leader of the Golden Company was a mercenary and had an ugly, dark and ugly appearance, he also had the noble blood of the Toyin family.
Moreover, he has an upright character. When he led the Golden Company, he united all his brothers and was full of leadership. At his heart, he is a fair and determined warrior.
Jon Connington once served as Mistoin's deputy when he was wandering in Essos, and the two were good friends who talked about everything.
