Chapter 974: 2 years on the ground

Edmure Tully was also a veteran of his father's generation. In this day and age, the next generation was dying, and Edmure was actually only two or three years older than Viserys, so he was in his prime.

But although Edmure is young, he has experienced a lot. He once participated in the war against the White Walkers that started from the Great Wall of Despair. The human coalition lost consecutive battles, threw away the entire northern border and retreated to the Twins City, and then this was the Jedi. fight back.

Then he experienced the civil war of mankind, experienced the betrayal of his father by a vassal, and was decapitated and provoked at the tip of a gun.

Then Edmure was under heavy pressure under such circumstances. In order to save Riverrun and the Tully family, he violated his father's last wish and opened the gates of Riverrun to surrender to Viserys.

The world ridiculed Edmure for being a mediocre person, incapable of taking on the burdens his father once had, but a coward who was greedy for life and feared death.

But Horst Tully's wiseness and martial arts brought family ruin, and Edmure grew up a little later than others. At first, a series of laughingstocks did make a series of jokes, but now decades have passed, once The ridiculed mediocrity helped the Tully family regain the position of the leader of the Hejian Land, and provoked the important task of leading the princes of the Hejian Land.

The reason why the eldest prince Helos chose Edmure Tully and recommended him to be the new governor of the riverlands is actually for a reason, because the two had secret talks and then reached a cooperation.

As the eldest prince of the empire, Helos has no way to directly become the governor of a province except for the traditional Targaryen family fiefdom, so he needs a partner, and at this time Edmure Tully appeared in the into his vision.

Edmure's ability is not outstanding, but his diligence can make up for his own shortcomings. He has also accumulated a lot of experience since he has come one step at a time.

He knew that such an opportunity was a rare opportunity. For the Tully family, it was a great opportunity to turn over and change the status of a criminal and become the leader of Hejian again. Therefore, he did not hesitate to agree to the invitation of the eldest prince.

Moreover, he is very clear about his abilities and positioning, and has self-awareness. Edmure knows that he has no ability to play the game of both sides. If he really plays like this, it will undoubtedly be a mess in the end.

Therefore, he still chose to walk forward one footprint at a time. He agreed to Heros' request and became a fan of the eldest prince.

There are many reasons for Heros to choose Edmure, the most important reason is that Edmure is easier to control, and the Tully family also has the prestige and ability to assume the governorship of the riverlands again.

Although the throne of the Tully family was deprived by his father, even the little Earl of Bracken, the son of his father's adoptive father, was poisoned with a glass of poisonous wine, and Helos didn't care to restore another Tully family. The position of Governor.

Helos didn't think his father would blame him even if he knew all this, because Helos had always followed Viserys' way.

If you put yourself in the situation, Viserys is in the situation of Helos, and maybe he will take similar measures, govern the plague with an iron fist, take control of the riverlands, and finally take it as his own.

Helos learned from his father's shadow, did not have any flaws, couldn't pick out any faults, and even surpassed it.

Therefore, although Edmure Tully eventually became the governor of the riverlands, in fact everyone in the empire knew that the real control of the riverlands was still in the hands of the first prince.

The first prince, Helos Targaryen, won the support of the riverlands and valleys and Dorne, and as the naval minister of the empire, he controls the navy of the empire. The support of the fleet, eyeing King's Landing.

Even if the world changes one day, Helos can block Blackwater Bay directly from the sea, and send troops on land to enter King's Landing.

However, for some unknown reason, although the forces of Helos surrounded King's Landing, they did not dare to lead the army directly into King's Landing.

Dare to abolish the rule of the great queen Arianne, end the era of the three queens, and ascend the throne to become the second emperor of the Valyrian Empire.

Because the imperial throne has been vacant for 20 years, the era of the Three Empresses cannot last for a long time. The world is looking forward to the emergence of a new emperor to end the long foreign war and return to peace and stability.

Therefore, everyone thinks that Heros Targaryen will enter King's Landing sooner or later, but they don't understand the inside story, but they can't understand what the First Prince is afraid of?

However, although Helos stopped in front of the Iron Throne and was afraid to advance, he was still regarded as the most powerful contender for the throne of the Empire, no one.

Because compared to Helos Targaryen, the sphere of influence of the eldest princess Diana and the second prince Yin Meng is too weak.

But now two years have passed, and Diana Targaryen, the eldest princess of the empire who went to the Great Wall of Desperation, is still staying in the north.

Because she received an decree from King's Landing and officially became the guardian of Changyuan, directly governing the vast land with no limit outside the northern fortress, including the Great Wall of Despair.

Once outside the Great Wall was not part of the Seven Kingdoms, or even the Valyrian Empire, and Diana Targaryen's position was newly created because his mother Queen Arianne wanted to make her daughter justified established a firm foothold in the North, so a position and title were temporarily compiled.

Although it was not as expected that Diana was directly appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, the jurisdiction of her long-walled guard also included the entire Night's Watch.

Because the outside of the Great Wall belongs to the guards on the border of the border ~www.NovelMTL.com~, the position guarded by Chang Yuan is somewhat similar to the positions of the northern guard and the western guard during the Seven Kingdoms period. It belongs to the military and politics.

Diana justifiably took command of the Night's Watch, and with the support of Robb Stark, the governor of the North, the entire North, plus the Great Wall and the Great Wall, were actually within the control of Diana Targaryen. Inside.

Compared with his brothers and sisters who had already established a firm foothold in the empire, the situation of the second prince Yinmen Targaryen was relatively backward.

Because not long after the adult ceremony was held, Yin Meng gained the right to leave the Red Fort.

Dragonstone Island was justifiably canonized to the eldest prince Helos Targaryen, while the eldest princess Diana was canonized as the Prince of Summer Hall.

Therefore, I don't know if it was a blessing in disguise or just a leak, Yin Meng was canonized to the wealthy High Court, which was a good start.

But Yin Meng only has one high court now, and his sphere of influence cannot be compared with his sister and brother.
