Chapter 243 In exchange for Harrenhal
“Hiss…”
A sharp dragon roar came, and the orange-yellow dragon flames mixed with sea blue pierced the night sky, and shot diagonally at the Bracken family soldiers.
"ah!…"
“There is an ambush, run away quickly…”
The power of the dragon flame is not weak, and the scalding high temperature and huge impact are beyond the ability of humans to withstand.
Knock down the already weak Bracken family soldiers into dust.
On the ground, Samwell led his army and rushed into the enemy's army.
“Quick victory, no one will be spared!”
The long sword slashed, killing the soldiers who dared to resist, and the emaciated figures ran rampant.
In the night sky, two dragons circled around, overlooking the one-sided carnage below.
In a crowded vegetable market, a high platform is built.
After a chaotic period of beating, smashing, and looting, a dozen noble men and women in fine clothes were escorted out.
I wish I could burn the castle down.
The common people are venting their insults, and you punch them and kick them.
The soldiers swept the battlefield, tied Amos to the flagpole, and marched towards the burning stone fence city.
If I say cut off your bloodline, I will cut off your bloodline.
Without the protection of soldiers, Amos collapsed in a pool of blood like a dead dog, struggling to resist the drag of the enemy.
Rhaegar drove the glutton to hover over the castle and closed his eyes against the night wind.
When death was imminent, Amos held on to the idea of begging for mercy, hoping to save himself some dignity.
Amos screamed and rolled on the ground, clutching his stomach.
They are farmers who were forced into the city, full of fear and resentment towards the Bracken family.
“Amos, we meet again!”
The members of the Bracken family were gagged and could only whine for mercy in exchange for more beatings.
Targaryen does what he preaches.
When Rhaegar was mentioned, Samwell regained his senses and sneered: "I killed him with one sword. It was too easy for him."
Amos's brother was the previous earl of the Bracken family.
Samwell gasped, stretched out his hand to grab the other man's hair, put his sword across his neck, and said sarcastically: "Amos, I killed your brother, and you can't run away!"
Tru summoned more than a hundred civilians from nowhere and rushed into the Bracken family's castle.
At this point, the Bracken family was completely defeated.
Robb hurriedly spoke out and captured Amos, who was restless and waiting for death.
“Let me go, Blackwood's lackey.”
All the soldiers of the Bracken family were killed in the battle, and they were stabbed one by one to check whether they were pretending to be dead.
Twenty minutes later, the melee ended.
He was stabbed to death by the young Samwell in a joust.
It is not only a feud between the Blackwood and Bracken families, but also a personal feud between the two parties.
the other side.
“Ah! Damn Blackwood.”
"Little bastard, if you have the guts, kill me."
Time flies, half a month later.
“Come on, you asshole.”
Speaking, he kicked Amos hard in frustration.
In order to flatter Rhaenyra, he took the initiative to provoke several children of the Blackwood family.
“Wait, leave him to the prince.”
“You thought you had a chance to live.”
Samwell tried hard with his hands, intending to chop off his head.
Two thousand versus three hundred, it's hard to lose.
King's Landing, Flea Bottom.
Samwell was so angry that he kicked the opponent in the abdomen and dragged him to the ground.
Leonor hung one hand on his chest, pointed with the other to the large group of people kneeling in front of him, and made a passionate declaration.
“The Blackwoods went to war privately and disobeyed the king's orders…”
I talked a lot.
At the front of the crowd, kneeling was a strong black-haired man, it was Earl Blackwood.
After the prosecution of the charges, Leonor announced the verdict: "Kyles Blackwood will be deprived of his earldom and sentenced to death by hanging!"
As he spoke, he asked Kells loudly: "Prisoner, do you accept the sentence?"
“Yes, Prime Minister.”
Kyles closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "But I don't want to die immediately. Please allow me to put on a black robe and guard the Great Wall."
A dense crowd of people were watching the excitement below, looking forward to what would happen to the Earl.
Leonor nodded and said, "Your Majesty approves your request."
The Kingsguard on the side took out a black robe, put it on Kells, and took him away from the execution place.
There was no one to stop me, and no accidents happened.
This is the result that has been discussed by both parties long ago.
Kyles pleaded guilty and the Blackwoods ceded a territory near the Red Fork River.
In exchange for Kells's life, his eldest son Samwell would inherit the title and territory.
After taking care of the Blackwood family, the next step is the Bracken family.
Leonor announced the Bracken family's guilt as usual.
Waging war privately, disobeying the king's orders, and murdering the lord Duke Glover and the king's hand Leonor Strong...
This blood sacrifice violates the widow's law...
Finally, the entire Bracken family was sentenced to be executed.
The heads of men, women, old and young were chopped off one by one and stuck in the moat with spears.
The culprit, Amos Bracken, is unpardonable.
He was deprived of his title and territory, stripped of his clothes, and whipped all the way to the dragon's lair.
Let the common people curse and throw excrement along the way...
When it arrived at the dragon's lair covered in filth, the glutton had to wait for a long time.
A breath of dragon flame burned it into dregs.
With deliberate spread, the people of King's Landing are aware of the various evil deeds of House Bracken in rebellion, blood sacrifice, and betrayal of faith.
Created into a typical traitor of Mingzheng.
Prince Rhaegar, who successfully countered the rebellion, became a hero praised by everyone.
Red Fort.
In the bedroom, Rhaegar sat at the table, lowering his head and writing furiously.
Dong Dong... There was a knock on the door, and Rhaenyra's voice came.
“Rhaegar, I'm coming in.”
Speaking, he pushed the door open and entered.
Rhaenyra is even more radiant than she was half a month ago.
The long, silver-gold hair is smooth and spread out, braided into slender braids.
A black skirt with a waistband that exposed her ankles, and a pair of exquisite red-soled high heels.
Rhaegar raised his head when he heard the sound, revealing a pair of thick dark circles under his eyes.
Looking at the beautiful Rhaenyra, one of them was divided into three in a trance.
Hold up the side of his face with one hand and said confusedly: "Rhaenyra, I seem to be a little dizzy."
“You are too tired, you should pay attention to rest.”
Rhaenyra reluctantly dragged her brother to the bed and laid him down, massaging his head.
Rhaegar closed his eyes obediently and rested his head on his sister's white thighs, enjoying the moment.
After conquering Shili City, he did not rest for a day.
pacify the people in the city, disperse the residents at the city gate, and detain the remaining forces of Bracken...
For three days in a row, the fire in Wengcheng was extinguished, and people had to be sent to clean up the ruins and open up a road.
This is not over yet.
As an earl family, Bracken has certain secondary families and knight families under its command.
These people kill some and conquer some.
The Bracken treasuries, granaries, tax bills…
As long as it was related to money, Lei Jia had to go through everything and confirm the details.
Nearly exhausted him to death!
"Rhaenayla, if being a king means doing this kind of thing every day, I would like to abdicate the throne in favor of you."
Rhaegar was as motionless as a salted fish, complaining pitifully.
too tired!
It's more tiring than receiving cramming education as a child.
He kind of missed the two unscrupulous bachelors who had a bunch of questions in their minds.
“Hmph, stingy Bala, you are the only one who can be so tired.”
Rhaenyra felt distressed and amused, and tapped the tip of his nose.
Such a thing does not need to be done by Rhaegar as the crown prince.
There will naturally be corresponding ministers to deal with it.
The Bracken family is a large family with ancient heritage and a profound foundation.
Rhaegar did not trust anyone else.
Transport money and food, and manage the ownerless Shili City.
Rhaegar didn't watch these things. The local nobles could get involved in everything and make a lot of money.
Verify money and register it.
These matters should have been the job of Lord Linman Beesbury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
But Earl Linman is old and frail, his energy is not as good as before, and his efficiency is really low.
Rhaegar is useful to Stonehedge City, so he can only take over this matter.
There are still assistants to help. If you work alone, you will really die young.
After resting for a while, Rhaegar's headache eased a lot, and he rubbed his face comfortably against his smooth thighs.
This is how a prince should be treated.
Rhaenyra raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes flashed with satisfaction.
A brat cannot be handled easily.
It's not in vain to dress up carefully.
Rhaegar knew this very well and cooperated to enjoy it.
He was tired and dizzy, but not stupid.
Time passes quietly.
Rhaenyra's eyes were bright and she asked softly: "Rhaegar, do you have any thoughts about Stonehedge City that you are so interested in?"
Compared to the Blackwood family, which lost a piece of territory, the Bracken family has been completely destroyed.
All those with direct bloodline were put to death, and their titles, castles, and territories were all returned to the royal family.
Lega turned sideways, hugged his white thighs, and said feebly: "Yes, I want to find a territory for myself."
“You are the prince, and the prince's palace is still under construction.”
Rhaenyra asked in confusion.
Rhaegar shook his head and said no more.
The Prince's Palace is just a palace, with very little territory, population, and resources.
Speaking of Po Datian, it is nothing more than a palace for princes to live in.
He is the crown prince, and his real fiefdom should be Dragonstone.
Now that Dragonstone is sealed to Rhaenyra, he thinks it should be natural.
However, you still have to find a fertile land as a fiefdom.
The territory of the Riverlands is very good.
It is close to the king's territory, the land is fertile, and the population is dense.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Rhaenyra pinched his cheek and kissed his forehead gently.
“Get some rest, there will be a celebration party tonight.”
At night.
The Red Fort was brightly lit and there was an endless stream of guests.
Viserys sat on the throne, laughing and accepting the flattery and toasts from his courtiers.
The long-dormant royal family destroyed an ancient family in the Riverlands with one move.
No matter how the nobles despised this young king in the past.
Seeing that someone has a hard-line heir, one must put aside their caution and show them full respect.
After toasting, it's time to eat and drink.
Viserys's lower positions on the left and right are Rhaegar and Leonor respectively.
Rhaegar was the first to speak: "Lord Leonor, I have something to discuss with you."
“Speak, prince.”
Leonor held the wine glass in one hand and looked serious for a second.
Rhaegar hesitated for a moment and looked at his father.
Viserys smiled and nodded.
The father and son had discussed the matter before, so there was no problem.
With his father's support, Rhaegar said sternly: "Lord Leonor, the Strong family served the country, but Harrenhal was burned down by the mob."
Leonor took a sip of wine and was also troubled by this.
Harrenhal was badly burned and repairs would require a large amount of money.
He is considering whether to borrow money from the Iron Bank.
Seeing this, Rhaegar had a rough idea of the Prime Minister's psychology and smiled: "The castle in Shili City is still intact, what do you think?"
