Game of Thrones: I became a crown prince for a day

The episode quickly passed and the meeting was officially held.

Corliss was satisfied and spoke out: "Your Majesty, the Three Women's Kingdom has been broken, and the war between the kingdom and the disputed land has come to an end. It is time to discuss strategies such as reopening ports and trade."

The conversation needs to be calm and respectful.

He did not mention the distribution of benefits, but euphemistically used maritime trade as an introduction.

After all, this is the greatest advantage of the Free Trade City.

Viserys looked at his eldest son carefully and kept smiling: "Lord Corliss and I have thought together that it is imperative for the three city-states to reopen trade."

Prime Minister Leonor said strictly: "The three city-states have not yet been completely stabilized, and most of the people are still opposed to the Iron Throne. It is slightly dangerous to open the port at this time."

"If we don't open the port, who will take care of the food, drink, and diarrhea in the three city-states?"

Justice Minister Jaspie objected and spoke sharply: "Our ports support countless exports every day, and sooner or later the national treasury will be exhausted."

Otto glanced at him and nodded in acquiescence.

Several ministers joined the discussion and debate arose over reopening trade.

Leonor was unwilling to reopen trade, saying that the movements in Braavos were unknown and the Dornish invasion was underway, which was not conducive to the development of trade at this time.

Jaspie retorted on the topic of treasury expenditure.

Otto secretly supported it, while Linman, Orville, and Thomond remained silent.

War is not about strong soldiers and horses, but about logistical supplies.

The Battle of the Narrow Sea started at the end of June and ended at the beginning of August, taking just over a month.

However, in just one month, the financial resources consumed by the national treasury became astronomical figures.

On the eve of the Battle of Myr, a large number of fleets and soldiers committed suicide to lure the enemy, and were destroyed by Lys and Tyrosh.

Of course, the biggest victim was the Velaryon family of Corliss, and the Iron Throne was still responsible for most of the soldiers, armor, and weapons on the ship.

In the subsequent Battle of Lys Harbor, fleets were formed from ports across the country to attack the city-state with ordnance provided by the treasury.

In addition, the garrison of the Stone Step Islands is a huge sum of money.

So far, we have not counted the cost of rebuilding the city-states of Myr and Lys, the cost of port repairs, and the relationship between ships and merchants...

Various troublesome issues related to internal affairs.

The discussion became more and more intense, and Leonor was alone, shouting at the others until they were sweating profusely.

Rhaegar watched with interest, occasionally glancing at Corliss, who had an unwavering expression on his face.

Rhaenyra had a dull expression, stroking her belly with one hand, and holding his big hand stroking her belly with the other.

Among the others, Viserys looked distressed and frowned unconsciously due to the noise.

He likes things that the ministers unanimously vote for, and it is difficult for him to choose when they debate.

Most of the time, he would handle it as he liked.

Dong Dong...

There was a loud bang on the table, and Corliss couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a dark face: "Ministers, you might as well listen to the opinions of your majesty and the prince."

"The financial resources of the national treasury have been greatly depleted, so the most important thing is to reduce expenditures."

Viserys immediately took a stand and stabbed his old friend Leonor in the back.

Leonor's face fell, and he sat down angrily, but he didn't look angry.

Rega nodded and also supported: "The port must still be reopened to be self-sufficient."

After finally conquering new land, if we can't create profits, isn't it all in vain?

When the topic returned to the right track, Corliss's expression improved and he suggested: "Then we should discuss some specific matters and make plans in advance."

"..."

The ministers, including the envoys of Pentos and Volantis, all acquiesced.

"etc!"

Otto suddenly broke the atmosphere and spoke sharply: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Prince Daemon has occupied Tyrosh and said that it is already his private territory."

"Stop talking to me about that bastard!"

Viserys suddenly turned black and gritted his teeth when he spoke.

He knew very well what good things his good brother had done.

They invaded and fought privately, massacred the rebellious residents of Tyrosh, and crossed the Iron Throne to privately own the city-state.

Each and every bad thing was done without the honor and responsibility of a knight.

Rhaegar interrupted: "Father, I talked with Daemon, and Tyrosh will be guarded by him for the time being."

"Temporarily" is a good word.

Pave the way for subsequent negotiations.

"He is just a bastard and has no shame!" Viserys said angrily.

"Your Majesty, Daemon feels deeply wronged and he will obey your will."

Lanner was no longer silent and added again: "He is suppressing the rioters. If there is any matter, I will discuss it on his behalf."

Viserys looked at her upon hearing this.

After experiencing difficult labor and the loss of her son, Lanner's complexion was extremely poor.

His dark skin was dull, his thick lips were colorless, and his brows showed a deep fatigue.

With one hand on her waist and wearing only a white skirt, she looked like a sickly beauty.

Viserys looked unbearable and said reluctantly: "If you have anything to do, please ask Daemon to talk to me personally."

After saying that, he waved to Ilic who was standing behind him and said seriously: "Sir, move a chair for Mrs. Lanner."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eric acted accordingly and was meticulous.

Lanner attended the royal meeting as a spectator this time, so she did not have a seat.

Viserys seemed to have a clear mind and did not find it difficult to deal with this matter.

"slower."

Rhaenyra looked back at her friend and raised her hand to support him gently.

Lanner pursed her lips and smiled, no longer forcing herself to stand.

The difficult childbirth had varying degrees of impact on her body and mind.

The uterus was cut open, and the bachelor diagnosed that she had a fundamental injury, and she was afraid that she might not be able to get pregnant again.

Psychologically, Lanner was very open-minded.

Help her husband seize the territory that is dear to her heart, redeem herself with Vhagar, and the direction of life suddenly becomes clear.

Instead of relying on her husband and family while struggling internally, it is better to make some achievements on her own.

Otto continued to elaborate: "Your Majesty, Daemon occupied Tyrosh privately. The Iron Throne should come forward to hold him accountable instead of blindly condoning it."

Lin Man frowned slightly and said impartially: "Prince Daemon behaves surly, and a stern warning is indispensable."

In the eyes of the ministers of the Royal Council, the three city-states are already the land of Westeros and should be placed under the direct jurisdiction of Targaryen.

Daemon's decision to seize a city-state was an act of treason.

Viserys had a stinky face and said in a deep voice: "Before going to war, I promised to divide a city-state for him, and Daemon also did it."

"But it was not a personal seal by His Majesty, but a private occupation by Daemon."

Otto's eyes were blazing and his words were to the point.

No one refutes this.

Even if the king agrees to allocate a city-state to his brother, there should be regulations and explanations.

Daemon's actions truly showed contempt for the Iron Throne.

Viserys couldn't help but raise his forehead: "I will ask him to return to King's Landing to talk afterward. Today we will discuss reopening trade and ports."

Rhaegar silently turned the stone ball in the groove, not in a hurry to express his position.

He had discussed with his father privately not to make a big deal out of the matter.

Braavos and Dorne are surrounded by evil wolves, and it is not suitable to provoke internal conflicts for the time being.

As soon as this statement came out, the ministers stopped holding on and stopped holding on.

"How long can you favor him?"

Allison's voice was calm and he spoke abruptly.
