Chapter 687 Prime Minister Candidate
"Oberron was not involved in this."
"I believe that Prince Doran is not such a stupid person."
Beside Viserys, there was an illusory shadow floating between the two. Jon Clinton looked at his wife with sad eyes, and then cast it on Oberyn.
Oberyn was his good friend, and although the two had a little conflict over the issue of suppressing the rebellion, Jon Clinton never denied it.
However, thinking about it now, would it have been a bit smoother if Oberon had led his troops to Dorne to quell the rebellion instead of himself?
At least Oberyn's identity is special. He is the Prince of Dorne. He led soldiers to arrest the criminals on the Iron Throne. No one from the Dorne family except the Fowler family dared to participate in it, let alone cover up and protect Fowler. family.
The prestige of the Martell family in Dorne is still very high, and they may even be able to kill Franklin Fowler directly.
He was then escorted to King's Landing for trial, and given the surrender plot, he might also get a chance to put on black.
Wouldn't this be a better solution?
Do not.
Of course not.
Jon Clinton knew very well that the fundamental problem between Dorne and the Iron Throne was not these, otherwise the attitude of Prince Doran, the emperor's father-in-law, would not be unpredictable.
Because this involves the fundamental interests of Dorne, it is almost equivalent to conquering Dorne without bloodshed.
The Martell family is also unwilling to just kneel and submit without moving a single shot, otherwise their clan language would not be called 'indomitable'.
Although Jon Clinton's expedition encountered some obstacles, he showed the current force of the Iron Throne and broke the illusions of some Dornish nobles. As long as he retreats smoothly, Dorne's problems can be solved safely.
But the problem is himself. He accidentally died on the battlefield. In order to avenge him, Viserys vented his anger, so he went on a killing spree and burned the castle, which led to the situation that broke the beginning of him and Visery. Reese's plan.
"Well... However, I believe that few people can still visit their own funeral in their lifetime."
Then Jon Clinton opened his mouth with a self-deprecating expression.
It seems that after a few days, he has come out of the haze and became a little optimistic.
His soul floated on the spot, and the squire Robb, who was following Viserys, shivered slightly, feeling the wind around him, and a little chill on the back of his neck.
"You are already dead."
"Not a lifetime."
And Viserys was still standing in the newly built garden behind the Imperial Military Academy. It was still drizzling here, and the ground was green with green grass and many flowers and plants.
Now the soldiers have dug a large pit ahead of time and are struggling to lift Jon Clinton's coffin from the carriage.
"Ah? Your Majesty?"
"Who are you talking to?"
However, Viserys spoke abruptly into the air, startling the red-haired boy who was feeling cold and uncomfortable beside him.
On the other side, Queen Arianne, who was holding Mrs. Beth's hand with one hand, and the other hand, who got off the carriage with a long skirt, also glanced here.
She didn't know what the men were talking about, but it was clear that the sudden death of the Hand of the King in Dorne, in his prime, had many ambitious people starting to move.
The candidate for the next Imperial Prime Minister is bound to experience a bloody storm.
"You don't have to be sad, sister, think about a better place."
"Fortunately, you are pregnant with Lord Clinton's flesh and blood, otherwise the foundation of Storm's End."
Then Arianne turned her head and continued to comfort the heartbroken girl beside her.
…
"We are all very saddened by the unexpected passing of Lord Jon, Your Majesty."
Jon Clinton's coffin was very heavy, and the soldiers shouted horns and hung them with ropes and put them into the holes dug in advance.
At this moment, there was still some water in the pothole because of the rain. A soldier slipped under his feet and accidentally fell into it, and he fell and bit the shit, but fortunately there was no serious problem.
However, at this moment, Varys, the Intelligence Minister wearing a wide robe who was also watching, walked over to Viserys and said.
"Lord Oberyn."
Then he greeted Oberyn next to Viserys, and then spoke directly without any shyness.
"But the position of the former Prime Minister is very important. He is your right hand, Your Majesty, and the most important minister of the entire empire."
"So although I don't want to mention it at this time, please forgive me."
"I still want to ask Your Majesty, what should I do next, and is there a suitable candidate?"
Jon Clindo is unexpectedly killed in battle, and the question of the next Prime Minister must be on the agenda.
During this period, many people in the courtroom have begun to engage in secret activities, hoping to get a share of the pie.
The ministers in the court included the Minister of Agriculture, Alistair Floren, and others. He united a group of nobles and had the support of the former monarch Tyrell family. After hearing the news of Jon's death, he began to covet the next emperor. Prime Minister's position.
Alister Floren considered himself the oldest and experienced, and could help His Majesty in governing the country.
There are even other regional governors who have joined the fray, Mies Toin, commander of the Golden Corps of the Westbound Governor, Euron Greyjoy of the Iron Islands, Littlefinger of the Vale, and more.
They also believed that they had a good understanding of running a country and could become His Majesty's right-hand man.
At the same time, there are some voices in the political situation of King's Landing, which are two former prime ministers.
I hope to choose one of the two 'retired' former prime ministers to wear the medal of the hand of the king and return to his original post.
However, the two former Prime Ministers of House Targaryen, one is a senior but too old, and the other is the unpopular Prince of Dorne.
A considerable number of those who hold this part of the voice are Dornish people, while the rest of the people dislike the Dornish people and are unwilling to support Oberyn, so these voices supporting the return of the former Prime Minister are full of divisions.
However, among them, Mies Toyne is one of the closest candidates, and he is the most likely to become the next Prime Minister.
Although the leader of the Golden Corps was a mercenary, his appearance was ugly, dark and ugly, but he also had the noble blood of the Toin family.
Moreover, his character is upright, and he united all the brothers during his leadership of the Golden Group. He is full of leadership, and he is a just and firm warrior in his bones.
Jon Clinton used to be Mies Toin's deputy when he was wandering in Essos, and the two were close friends.
