Chapter 584: Back Garden

Viserys' reform was a reform system that broke the aristocratic autocracy, improved the status of the commoners, and centralized power.

That is, once the king was greater than the nobles than the commoners, the commoners were loyal to the local lords, the lords were loyal to the larger lords, and finally the king.

And this system may not have been wrong, because in the final analysis, the few people control the majority in this world.

However, the tangled point of this question is that the power of the nobles under the king and above the commoners has grown too large after a long period of development.

They were so large that they could easily overthrow the monarchy, and any king who was not in their interests would be ousted or killed without hesitation.

And the commoners are also helpless in the face of the deep-rooted aristocratic forces. In this era, any peasant who dares to resist the aristocracy, or even face harsh taxes, who wants to hand over a little less food will be judged as 'theft'.

Who is stealing the food the farmers grow themselves?

Naturally stole from the nobles.

They only left a little food for their subsistence farmers, so that they would not starve to death, and even in the face of famine and war, they would not even keep this food for food.

If you want to eat, you have to go to war.

Therefore, in this aspect of the growth of the nobles, the royal powers at the top are just as victims as the commoners at the bottom.

Viserys attacked the nobles because their interests were already too rich, and if the interests of the nobles were cut off, the commoners and the kingship would naturally benefit. The kingship was the symbol of the supremacy of the country, and the commoners were the largest part of the country.

Viserys' benefit of the commoners would of course be actively embraced, and the status of commoners was elevated under his rule.

However, if it is just one place, such reforms may be innocuous, and these oppressed people will not resist.

But when all the rest of the country has completed the reform, the people own the land to cultivate, there are no high taxes, the state officials are clear, and the nobles dare not be domineering. The only place left will become the target of public criticism.

Therefore, Dorne is detached from the system of the kingdom, and now the Dornish people are proud of themselves for a short time, venting their resentment in one breath.

But in the long run, the only beneficiaries of Dorne's aloof status are Dorne's aristocratic forces, including Dorne's low-level people and even merchants who still do not benefit, and they are not even as good as the people in other parts of the Seven Kingdoms.

At that time, the status of the two sides was reversed again. It was not how the Dornish people were superior, but all the Dornish people except the nobles packed up and moved away overnight to live in the north, escaping Dornish, who was ruled by the nobles.

And what if the Dornish nobles discovered this problem and wanted to stop it?

He only has two ways, one is to strictly prohibit escape and start massacres, and the other is to follow the reforms of other parts of the Seven Kingdoms and gradually let go of his own interests, so that it is no different from the rest of the Seven Kingdoms.

According to Tyrion's understanding of the nature of the nobles, they will definitely take the first method first. However, the symptoms will not be cured, and even the voice of resistance will be raised, and finally the second method must be adopted...

After thinking about all this, Tyrion only felt that his back was wet with cold sweat, and he only felt a little pitiful when he looked at the Dornishman who was smug and his nostrils were about to go to the sky. The king, who is extremely sophisticated in his methods, is even more awe-inspiring.

But if you consider that the other party was born in King's Landing or even the royal family, a place full of lies, conspiracies and calculations, he fled his hometown at the age of seven or eight, and then struggled all the way, and built a huge country from scratch almost from scratch. Such means, naturally, could not be easily explained.

After all, people will change with the changes of the environment, and the ability to learn to adapt is the greatest talent.

Viserys canonized all the viceroys of foreign surnames, and the next is the family affairs of the Targaryen family.

In addition to discussing why Oberyn, the general of the Targaryen family, was not divided, the nobles of the seven kingdoms, which were densely packed in Wuyang and Wuyang, also discovered a problem.

That is, among the governors who have just been enfeoffed, there is no governor of the Reach.

"Where did the Reach go?"

"Could it be that Your Majesty has other arrangements?"

The nobles whispered and talked a lot, and at the same time they couldn't help but glanced at Velas, who was in the rear of the group of ministers.

He was an ordinary tax officer, so he was standing very far behind, almost standing at the gate of the throne room.

The once glorious heir of High Court has been reduced to this, which makes people sigh, but he is leaning on a cane in one hand, wearing the coat of arms of the High Court Rose on his chest, and his shoulders are straight.

Although he heard the discussions around him and felt the eyes falling on him, Vilas Tyrell also did not change his face and said nothing.

Then there was another sound in front of the Iron Throne.

"Renise Targaryen, Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Renis was wearing a military uniform, looking valiant, and her footsteps sounded.

Tread…

Then he stepped out of the crowd at the forefront, pulled out the Valyrian steel sword ‘Dark Sister’, which flashed coldly around his waist, and knelt down in front of him.

"His Majesty."

The brown-haired girl in the bright lady's armor said something, but the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms behind them were too far away to hear them clearly.

Even some of them couldn't see the face of the eldest princess, but they still looked forward with their heads up.

They have all heard of the beauty of the eldest princess, inheriting the advantages of Prince Rhaegar and Princess Dorne, and at the same time the other party is also one of the dragon knights of the Targaryen family. 's feat.

If you can marry this eldest princess.

Many nobles from the Seven Kingdoms were slightly moved, but they just thought about it. It is absolutely impossible for the current Targaryen family to marry a dragon knight. Everyone knows that she will be His Majesty the King in the future.

Viserys then made Renice Duke of Summerhall himself.

Midsummer Hall is the summer palace of the Targaryen family, and there is also a precedent for the canonization of the Prince of Midsummer Hall in history, so this is not a title created by Viserys himself.

Viserys canonized Rhaenys as Duke of Summerhall, followed by his sister, Daenerys Targaryen, as Duke of Dragonstone.

The Duke of Dragonstone has always been the symbol of the Crown Prince of the Targaryen family. After having Princess Diana, His Majesty the King still divided the Duke of Dragonstone, which made people have some discussions.

However, these discussions are not even as intense as when Reness was assigned to the Duke of Summerhall and Daenerys was to be assigned to the Duke of Dragonstone. People thought that His Majesty the King was more reliant on His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.

But after all, Princess Diana is still just an infant and a baby girl. If His Majesty has a prince, perhaps the dispute over the successor will be settled.

Therefore, neither the Dornishmen nor the other nobles of the Seven Kingdoms paid much attention to this, it was just a matter of discussion.

However, the choice thrown out in the throne room was a blockbuster.

The Forgotten Reach will be adopted as the king's land, while the High Court is the back garden of the royal family.
