Chapter 227: Aquaman's plan
Latest URL: "There is no direct evidence to prove that it was done by the faceless."
Veselis was sitting on the bed in a loose robe, long silver-gold hair reflecting light slightly under the candlelight.
I don't know if it was their illusion, both Illyrio and Jon felt that Veselis seemed to have changed.
His hair seemed to be real melted silver slowly flowing down, and even gleaming, and his eyes were clearer and brighter than before.
It is a stunning color, like a magnificent gem, when being watched by this pair of eyes, there will be a feeling of coldness, like a breeze.
In short, their king seems to be more handsome than before.
"Your Majesty's complexion is really..."
Illyrio didn't know how to describe Visiris's change, but this change made him, a man who only loved women and never been close to men, suddenly had a feeling of heartbeat.
On the other side, the former prime minister of the Targaryen Dynasty was also watching Viselis.
He felt the same way. Even though Jon was a little reluctant to admit it, Visiris now seemed to be more handsome than the "Silver Prince" he followed.
At the same time, he heard Visiris's words, nodded slightly, and relaxed a lot.
It would be okay if this matter was not done by the Faceless, which shows that Braavos has no plans to turn his face with Targaryen.
However, Veserys calmly watched the two people in front of him, watching the expressions on their faces, and then shook his head and smiled.
"But it's not far from ten."
Illyrio is the new minister of finance of the kingdom, and the other party was once a wealthy business governor from scratch, so he knew everything about money.
Naturally much better than those noble finance ministers who never carried a golden dragon in their pockets, such as the Duke of Tyrell in the River Bend.
Veserys has always advocated professional people to do professional things, and listen to their opinions instead of judging by their status.
Just as the basic system of the new dynasty is based on ability rather than rank.
On the other side, Jon Clinton, the former prime minister who was expelled during the time of Wesiris's father Iris II, his ability and loyalty are naturally beyond doubt.
He admired honor very much, and perhaps had some topics in common with the Duke Ed Stark from the north.
Although Viselis once asked about the ‘Aegon Targaryen’, Jon Clinton was obviously hesitant and ultimately did not tell the truth.
Perhaps he still has concerns about Viselis in his heart, but Viselis does not doubt his loyalty.
If such people are not loyal, there are too few people available to Veserys.
Now one of these two men is the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the new dynasty, and the other has no official position but is also Visiris's personal adviser.
Hearing the opinions of the two of them is very important to Veserys for the next plan.
As Viselis spoke, the expressions of Illyrio and Jon Clinton suddenly changed slightly.
This sentence of Viselis almost confirmed that the assassin was the famous faceless, but there was no direct evidence to prove it.
"Your Majesty, it is not good news that Braavos wants to do something to us."
The two looked at each other, then Jon took a deep breath, shook his head and said.
"But...it's a question of time."
"We will inevitably conflict with Braavos in the future."
Targaryen's continuous expansion on the Essos continent will inevitably touch the interests of Braavos.
This is a fundamental problem that cannot be solved. The relationship between the two has changed from being friendly to plain. The Targaryen family replaced and annexed Pantos and became a new threat to Braavos.
And Braavos may now regret that his intestines are all blue.
"Then what shall we do next? Your Majesty."
"Are you going to make a clear settlement for Qiang and Braavos when the Seven Kingdoms winter is coming?"
Jon was wearing a bright armor, shining slightly under the candlelight, holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, glanced at Illyrio, and then spoke.
Braavos is indeed very strong, ranking first among free trade city-states.
However, although Braavos is strong, it is not invincible. It took the Braavos two hundred years to conquer Pantos. Six battles broke out between the two sides and Braavos won. Four games were played and two games were lost.
However, for the current Targaryen family, it is not advisable to defeat Braavos on its own and must find allies.
"What are our potential allies?"
"Kehor? Novus? Or the princes of Tylosi."
The dim candle in the room shook gently, and Veselis got up from the bed and walked to the table.
"His Majesty."
Illyrio stretched out his hand to help him, but Visiris waved his hand and refused.
The silver-haired boy stood by the table, rubbed his fingers on the wooden lines on the table, and then turned his head to speak.
"Because of slavery, Tyrosie, Reese, and Mill are all at odds with Braavos, and conflicts even broke out long ago."
"But it is impossible for them to take the initiative to become an enemy of Braavos."
"And Valantis is not pleasing to the eyes of Braavos, intending to compete for the leader of the trading city-state, but unfortunately the geographical location of the two is too far away."
Speaking of this, Viselis snorted, and Illyrio on the other side shook his head when he heard Viselis' words and joked.
"If we really want to go to war with Braavos, Slave Bay will definitely support us."
"Bravos has not less to influence their business."
But when it came to this, Illyrio's voice changed slightly.
"But war is more than just a way of fighting with swords, Your Majesty."
"Gold can also be used as a method of warfare, and they are more invisible."
Illyrio put his hands in his wide sleeves and spoke in a calm voice, his gaze followed Viselis's figure all the way.
"We have a large number of loan contracts with Tiejinku."
"With these gold coins borrowed from the white bars, the iron treasury will not easily let Aquaman and us turn our faces."
"After all, Sea King is just Sea King, not Emperor Braavos."
Illyrio was straightforward, and his words directly hit a shortcoming of Braavos' political system.
As an elected leader, Braavos Sea King is not a king or an emperor, and he has no right to say anything.
Therefore, he needs to balance the interests of all parties in the city-state and reach a compromise when he makes any decision.
"But ~www.NovelMTL.com~ this is also the brilliant point of Neptune's trick."
Illyrio paused slightly and continued to speak.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"If you die in this assassination, Braavos will choose to support an obedient heir from the eldest princess and the princess Daenerys."
"And if you are not dead and declare war on Braavos in anger, you will also be in the arms of the opponent."
Viselis stood at the table, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Illyrio's words, and looked at the other party and said.
"So what do you mean?"
"Waiting for the opportunity!"
Illiougo broke off.
"Hate must be remembered, but a wise king will not let emotions dominate his own decisions."
