Chapter 152 The Imperial Conference

It is naturally King Robert's wish to cross the sea to destroy the Targaryen remnants, and it is also what he takes for granted.

However, his ideas were thwarted at the Imperial Council.

Because the king never knew how much money he had in his pocket, except that he could spend money, and how much dissatisfaction it would cause his soldiers to be reorganized to fight just after a war had ended.

"Your Majesty, there is no more money in our treasury to support us waging a war of this magnitude."

The former Prime Minister Jon Arryn was still the first to stand up and persuade.

The other ministers, including the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Minister of Justice, lowered their heads and said nothing. Stannis, who was the Sea Minister, stared at the clean table and didn't know what he was thinking.

Intelligence Chief Varys folded his hands in his cuffs, looked at the other people who were silent, and then focused on Stannis's body a few more times, and then withdrew his gaze.

The entire imperial meeting fell into a very strange atmosphere, and no one else spoke, just like a mute.

Because they all knew King Robert's temper, and the seven oxen couldn't be pulled back when they decided to do something. Only Lord Aylin would listen to His Majesty the King for the time being.

But this time King Robert seemed to have made up his mind, and he did not expect that the absolutely correct and irrefutable thing such as the chasing and killing of the Targaryen remnants by the king would stand up and talk nonsense.

If it wasn't for the certainty that his adoptive father would never collude with Targaryen, he would even wonder if they had already planned to defect.

Robert's bell-like eyes widened, as if he was going to choose someone, and slapped the table.

"Lord Jon Arryn!"

"Why didn't you get a Lannister loan earlier?"

"You must know that this old guy Tywin even pulls the shit out of gold!"

And standing outside the king's bedroom, the knight wearing a snow-white cloak and bright silver armor could hear the voices inside the room clearly.

He put one hand on the hilt of the sword, his face was a little ugly, and then he took a deep breath.

However, King Robert in the Conclave didn't care if Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer, stood outside the door and heard the words.

He even made James stand guard outside the door when he was in bed with the other's sister, listening to his sister's screams to satisfy some kind of bad taste in Robert's heart.

And the old duke of the valley was also annoyed by Robert's unreasonable words, and he also stood up from the chair with a pat on the table.

"His Majesty!"

"How can Tywin Lannister, as the guardian of the West and the Duke of Casterly Rock, be called such a frivolous and rude name!"

Jon Arryn felt that he was so angry that his nose was going to smoke. It's fine to say such words in private. How could he make a lot of nonsense on such an important occasion as the royal meeting.

In particular, Tywin's son was standing guard outside the door. If this news spreads to the outside world, or even to the western border, who knows how much waves it will cause.

His Majesty the King insulted the guardian of the west, and even pulled out the shit is gold?

The big nobles in the upper classes of the country are not compatible, and Robert is also Tywin's son-in-law, and the son-in-law insults his father-in-law. I don't know how many versions of these kings' family affairs will be circulated in the flea den, and how many stories will be created for no reason. somethin.

And Robert, who was sitting on the throne just now, was actually outspoken for a while, saying what was in his heart, and even more because the plan to attack the Targaryen remnants was opposed.

After being yelled at by his adoptive father, he calmed down a lot.

Robert wasn't a complete asshole either. He knew who was a slanderous official, and he also knew who would never betray him and keep him under his wing.

"Hum-"

King Robert groaned and sat back on his seat, which made a creaking sound when it was overwhelmed.

"Anyway... no matter what, Targaryen's remnants must be strangled."

"Dear Lord Jon Arryn, you must have seen the information."

Robert picked up the jug on the table and poured himself another glass of wine, with some resentment and sarcasm in his tone.

"I warned you."

"I warned you a long time ago."

"That little bitch of Targaryen actually hatched a dragon, a real dragon! Not a dog or a cat!"

Speaking of Robert's spitting stars flying all over the sky at the end, even the good mood of winning the battle of Dragonstone was gone.

The wine in the glass was then drained.

bang——

The wine glass was heavy on the table, and with a little bloodshot eyes, he looked at the intelligence director who was doing nothing.

"Um?"

There was a dull sound in the nostrils.

And Varys, who was a little distracted just now, reacted in an instant and shivered slightly, and then he understood, and hurriedly opened his mouth to meet the road.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"We can't wait for the dragon to grow up, we must take the initiative to attack, otherwise if we wait for the dragon to grow up, we will no longer be able to get rid of these Targaryen remnants."

Varys opened his mouth to cater to His Majesty the King, and Robert nodded in satisfaction.

This is why he is satisfied with Varys. As an important minister of the former Elis II period, Varys is one of the few remaining in the Baratheon dynasty.

"Your Majesty, actually...actually...if there is only a dragon, nothing can be done."

As for this, the old duke also had some headaches. He seemed to want to argue something, but he found that his tone of voice had dropped a lot unconsciously.

He didn't have the confidence to say such a thing himself, and he felt that he would become a traitor if he continued to say it.

Naturally, he had also seen the latest piece of information. The posthumous son of Elis II, the sister of Viserys who is now king, Daenerys Targaryen was holding three children in an accidental fire. Only the young dragon came out.

This is a big trouble.

Although it is unbelievable, after all, the dragon has disappeared for so long, and he has not seen it with his own eyes, but Jon Arryn can't allow Jon Arryn to question the fact that there is a dragon in the intelligence.

Although the dragon is not the absolute factor that determines the outcome of the war, if it is evenly matched, the side with the dragon will definitely be in a situation of crushing.

"Yeah, it's true that only the words of the dragon can do anything."

And Robert sneered slightly sarcastically, then roared.

"But have you ever thought about it, that guy Viserys has a fucking army of tens of thousands!"
