Then night gradually fell, and several city gates in the inner city of King's Landing were closed.
After decades of development, King's Landing is now divided into the outer city and the inner city. The inner city is crowded with princes and nobles, prosperous and gorgeous, while the outer city is relatively backward, mostly populated by ordinary people and small people from other places.
Nobles bought property here.
The night is deep.
Gululu——
The wheels of the carriage made a sound as they rolled over the stone road. A carriage covered with black cloth drove from the outer city to the gate of the King's Gate in the inner city.
"For what?"
On both sides of the King's Gate stood several night-watch soldiers from the city guard. They were dozing off while holding their weapons, but when they saw the arrival of the carriage, they immediately became energetic and grasped the hilts of their swords.
"Brothers, I am a servant of the Minister of Justice, Prince Oberyn."
The coachman who drove the carriage did not panic when he was stopped in front of the city gate. Instead, he took out a sign from his arms and handed it to the soldier, and then said.
However, the soldiers of the City Guard took the token and looked at it twice, confirming that it was indeed Prince Oberyn's token.
After all, he was on duty at the city gate all year round, so he had nothing but good eyesight, but he still frowned after seeing it.
"The Minister of Justice's brand doesn't work either."
"Her Majesty the Queen has decreed that the curfew will be enforced at night. No one can go out and no one can go in."
In the past, the Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Guard was under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Justice and was an official position under the Minister of Justice.
However, later, after 'Blackfish' Brynden Tully became the Commander-in-Chief of the City Guard, the Golden Robes gradually transformed and gained a higher political voice. They became independent from the Minister of Justice and became a subordinate to the Imperial Council.
An important position of half rank among important ministers.
Therefore, even though the person who came was holding the sign of Prince Oberyn, the soldiers of the Capital Guard could still not show off this face. After all, these are extraordinary times. If anything goes wrong, it would be difficult to explain to the Commander-in-Chief...
"what happened?"
But at this moment, the voice of captain Penrose Brymond suddenly sounded from behind the garrison soldier.
Wow wow...
Then he turned around and saw the captain, who was fully armed, and the armor made a sound as it rubbed against the hilt of the sword, and he was walking towards him with a few close followers.
"Sir, he wants to enter with the Minister of Justice's sign..."
The soldier saw their captain walking towards him, holding the Minister of Justice's sign in his hand, and spoke directly without hesitation.
However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.
Why didn't the captain, who was always lazy to sleep on duty, not fall asleep tonight?
Moreover, behind him were several of Penrose Brymond's cronies, all wearing armor and looking like they were about to fight. Now that King's Landing is peaceful, what kind of war should we fight?
But even though the soldier reacted, it was still too late.
Penrose Brymond showed a sinister smile on his face, and then he drew his sword and chopped off his head with one strike. His cronies suddenly pounced on him and killed several soldiers who were in the way.
Although they are all soldiers under the command of Penrose Blymond, after all, they are watching the city gate in the capital of the empire. Here is the emperor's feet, where princes and nobles gather. Which of these soldiers has not seen the scene?
Therefore, just like the mutiny on the border, when the superior gives an order, the soldiers below are all at a loss and can only follow the superior to rebel. This is simply impossible to happen in King's Landing.
Perhaps Penrose Brymond gave the order, and his soldiers would kill him first, and then offer his head to Her Majesty the Queen for merit.
And Penrose Blymond simply killed all these soldiers, and the remaining people were either submissive or his cronies.
In the blink of an eye, all the obstacles in front of the king's gate had been cleared. There were several corpses lying on the ground, and blood seeped into the gaps in the stone road. The groom, who was holding the token of the Minister of Justice, looked at the scene that happened in front of him with a smile on his face.
Satisfied smile.
"Well done, Lord Brymond."
That night.
All links leading to King's Landing have been cleared.
Hua Hua Hua——
The army from afar, who didn't know where it came from, took advantage of the fog shrouding the sky in the early morning. Without any flags or signs, they marched directly into the city of King's Landing with neat steps and without any bloodshed.
They surrounded the Red Keep on Aegon's high hill, then stopped and did not launch a direct attack to attack the Red Keep.
Because they know that the Red Castle is completely guarded by the Unsullied. Although the Unsullied have grown old, the Royal Guard has been adding new blood over the years.
Moreover, the Red Fort is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Its entire body is made of light red stone. It has seven huge iron-roofed drum towers. The thick city wall surrounds the castle. There are countless bunkers and battlements on the city wall for archers to shoot.
Moreover, there are thick stone guardrails on the walls of the Red Fort, some four feet high, protecting the edges of the walls. The heads of traitors are usually inserted into the iron spears on the crenellations of the wall between the gatehouses.
The city wall has huge bronze doors and iron portcullises, as well as some narrow side entrances. A pebble square is located in front of the huge outer castle. Behind the city wall, there are many small inner courtyards, arch halls, covered bridges, barracks, cellars, and
barn.
The Red Keep itself is a defensive fortress built by the Targaryen family. Therefore, since the Red Keep was built, it has never been attacked from the outside. If the Red Keep is forcibly attacked, it may be counterproductive and end up with nothing but chicken feathers on the ground.
The commander who planned this rebellion did not want to continue to have bloody conflicts, otherwise it would defeat the main purpose of the peaceful transfer of power, and it would turn into another Dance of the Blood Dragons.
This is something no one wants to see.
This rebellion was carefully planned, and it looked like it had been planned for a long time. From the beginning to the end, only a few dozen people died.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Guard, 'Iron Hand' Jacelyn Bywater, returned home after inspecting the city gates and was directly controlled by a group of people. Therefore, there was no large-scale battle and the Red Fort was surrounded.
The rebels surrounded the Red Fort and did not rush to attack. Instead, they sent envoys into the Red Fort to negotiate.
The Minister of Justice of the Envoy Royal Council is a 64-year-old veteran, Prince Oberyn of Dorne.
He walked into the Red Keep without any weapons and personally persuaded his niece Arianne to open the door of the Red Keep and peacefully transfer power.
Then, the next day.
After dawn, people woke up from their sleep. Many people even had no idea what happened last night. A peaceful rebellion started and ended.
