Viserys paused slightly when he heard Jon Connington's excited and worried words, and then slowly spoke.
"This system of family, fiefdom, and autonomy has lasted in Westeros for thousands or even tens of thousands of years."
"Such a system has given rise to endless wars, with big lords fighting against big lords, and small lords fighting against small lords. Productivity is backward, and people are living in dire straits. It has seriously hindered the development of society and the progress of civilization."
"Aegon unified the Seven Kingdoms, but he only nominally brought these families together and ended the continuous melee."
Before Aegon unified the Seven Kingdoms, protracted wars had been breaking out in this land. The seven kingdoms were fighting against each other all day long, and the people were living in dire straits.
However, the Seven Kingdoms have been established for such a long time, and there was public opposition when they were first unified.
There were even frequent assassinations. However, as time went by, people gradually understood the benefits of unity.
However, Aegon's unification was only limited in appearance. It seemed to be a unified kingdom, but in fact, each family was still deeply divided and each region still dominated.
What Viserys wants to do now is to truly unify Westeros.
Therefore, his first step is to violently destroy every 'high wall' they have built.
"The city-states on the continent of Essos experienced changes earlier than those in Westeros."
"Jon, you have lived here for so many years, I believe you can feel it."
Jon Clinton nodded slightly when he heard this. The atmosphere on the continent of Essos was relatively open, and each city-state had its own system. It was almost a situation where a hundred schools of thought contended.
This also resulted in the economic strength and military level of each of their independent city-states being on average higher than those of the cities in Westeros.
Relatively speaking, Westeros is stubborn, old-fashioned, and uncivilized. There are many families that have been passed down for thousands of years, and there are even families that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years.
"And now is the best opportunity."
"Using the already chaotic situation to completely smash the old order to pieces."
"Anyway, one window is already damaged, so it's better to smash it completely."
The person who said this was not Viserys, but Jon Connington.
He was thoughtful and seemed to have some understanding of what Viserys wanted to do.
Anyway, due to the invasion of the White Walkers and the war of conquest, Westeros has become a mess. It is better to take this opportunity to solve all the problems at once. If you wait until everything calms down, you can then solve the outstanding problems.
That's troublesome.
However, although Jon Clinton was persuaded by Viserys, he couldn't help but feel excited, because this was a major event destined to be recorded in the history of Westeros, but he had one last question, which he couldn't help but ask.
.
"Your Majesty, what do you want?"
"What do you want?"
When Viserys heard Jon Connington's question, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said.
"Besides power, status, and wealth, what else do you want to gain in this world?"
The King's Hand opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment. He wanted to say that there was a woman, but he thought that the young and handsome King seemed to have no shortage of women, so he swallowed his words.
"At the beginning, I just wanted to protect Rhaenys and Dany and survive."
"Later, when I have the ability to protect them, I want to take back the Iron Throne."
"Human ambition can grow without limit."
Viserys said jokingly.
"If I said that I wanted to rebuild the Valyrian Empire and declare myself the Holy Valyrian Emperor, would you believe me?"
Under the early morning sun, the Hand of the King medal on the chest of the gray-red-haired man reflected light slightly, and then he saw the expression on his face was stunned, and then he slowly opened his mouth.
"Just kidding."
However, the silver-haired young man shook his head and reached out to twist off a delicate flower in the garden.
The spring breeze floats and flowers bloom.
An old black cat was chasing a butterfly and ran over. Then when it saw Viserys, it seemed like it had seen some big devil, and hurriedly hid far away.
"Where is the west of Westeros?"
Jon Connington slowly came out of his shock, then heard Viserys's question, thought about it carefully and spoke.
"It seems to be an endless sea, just like the continent of Sothoros is an endless land, Your Majesty."
People have not explored the end of the Sothoros continent, and they also do not know what is on the other side of the Sunset Sea.
Is it the Water Palace of the Drowned God?
Or does the Red God take away the setting sun and then send it to tomorrow’s place?
"No one knows."
Jon Connington shook his head slightly.
"This is where all maps end."
"Maybe one day when I have free time, I will ride a dragon and try to reach the end of the world."
Viserys quietly watched the running back of the old black cat he hadn't seen for a long time.
Then he gave the flower he broke off to a beautiful little maid who was passing by, causing her to blush.
...
Viserys stayed briefly in Pentos, but did not have a few days to rest, and then boarded the dragon and flew to King's Landing.
The world imposes many restrictions on everyone.
After all, humans are social animals, and the structure of human society is in the shape of a pyramid from top to bottom. Even though the willful King went out for a walk for a while, he would eventually have to return to King's Landing to deal with many things that he had briefly escaped.
The black dragon's shadow covering the sky and sun appeared in the sky above Blackwater Bay, causing the nobles in the Red Castle to panic.
In the fishermen's square of Lannimen, there was even a frightened animal that knocked over the fish basket. The fresh big fish were jumping all over the ground, and then they were all robbed. Only the fishmonger was sitting alone on the ground crying without tears.
.
"This black dragon is much bigger than the bronze dragon of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The eunuch with a bright head was wearing a robe, his hands were folded and hidden in his sleeves, he looked up at the sky and said.
"Rego...is that your name?"
"Every time I mention this name, it always reminds me of the highly anticipated Silver Prince, but unfortunately he failed to live up to everyone's expectations."
"Rego is like a 'little baby' in front of Black Death."
Wallis leaned on the railing and spoke jokingly, seemingly talking to himself.
"really."
And a replying voice came from under the railings of the Red Fort tower.
The ‘little devil’ Tyrion Lannister was too short, so he could only spread his hands under the railing and said.
"Otherwise, how would your Majesty be able to repel those terrifying White Walkers."
"Why were the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops defeated all the way from the Twins to Riverrun, leaving no room for resistance?"
Although Tyrion does not have a specific position now, everyone knows that after receiving the recommendation of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Tyrion will surely prosper in the future.
Varys still retains his original position as the Iron Throne's Minister of Intelligence.
Rhaenys did not make drastic changes to the Council, and Grand Maester Pycelle resigned not long ago and wanted to leave King's Landing and return to the Citadel, but was detained.
The reason is that someone revealed what he had done, and every one of them was enough to commit him to death.
