Chapter 993: Great Council

Popular recommendation:

It was the first time that Helos personally presided over the Great Council, but it was not the first time that he had actually participated in the Council of the Kings.

Because he assumed the position of the sea minister of the empire after he succeeded the Prince of Dragonstone, and personally in charge of the Dragonstone navy, theoretically all the fleets of the empire should obey his orders.

Of course this is only theoretical.

The Minister of War of the Empire is supposed to be in charge of all the armies of the Empire, but in fact, the Minister of War is responsible for the management of ordnance, recruitment, and the appointment and removal, promotion, personnel transfer and so on of some lower-level commanders.

The supreme commander-in-chief of the imperial legion is still directly responsible for the emperor, and the war minister will provide a series of necessary suggestions when the war comes.

"Call someone to clean up this place."

Now from the beginning to the end of the coup, most of the time has passed, and the Red Fort has been cleaned up except for the Meige Building.

And Heros also ordered the servants to clean the cellar of the Red Keep, so that the legendary soldiers of the Targaryen family and the keel should not be dusted.

Then Heros thought for a while, and although he felt that the possibility was not high, he still added.

"I will preside over the Great Council in a while, and go and invite Her Majesty the Queen to come over."

The servants of the Red Fort bowed slightly after hearing the order of His Royal Highness, and then retreated.

However, it didn't take long for the servant to return again, and he told Her Majesty Queen Helos that he did not want to come to the throne room to participate in the Great Council.

"I know."

Helos was silent for a moment after hearing the servant's words, then nodded slightly, and waved the servant to step back.

"Your Highness."

Then the servant stepped back and continued to clean the cellar of the Red Fort with the others. This place has not been cleaned for many years. This is a big project.

And then Helos stood alone in the side hall of the side door of the throne room. He cleaned up his emotions a little, and briefly let himself forget what he had just thought, the dragon spear, the purpose of his father, etc., and then walked away. into the throne room.

...

"Your Highness."

"His Royal Highness."

The throne room of the Red Fort was already full of people at the moment.

When the crisis came not long ago, everyone claimed that the first prince Heros Targaryen was about to attack King's Landing, and everyone in King's Landing was panicked, but even so, there are still many imperial nobles and important ministers of the Royal Council who are staying in King's Landing.

They had thought that there would be a great battle, or even the next dance of blood dragons, that the empire would be torn apart.

But I didn't expect that Helos used the method of attacking the west. The preparations with great fanfare there attracted all the attention, and then a direct surprise attack from the rear easily occupied King's Landing without any effort.

And now they are huddled together constantly whispering, whispering.

There is actually no shortage of well-informed people among the imperial aristocracy.

They finally learned through various channels that the eldest prince occupied King's Landing this time, and was not ready to be crowned directly as the second emperor.

Instead, a more moderate approach was adopted, first becoming the regent crown prince, managing national affairs, and then looking for suitable opportunities to seek new breakthroughs.

Even the canonization of Helos as the crown prince and the appointment of the prince regent were granted by Queen Arianne and signed and endorsed by the high-ranking ministers of the Imperial Grand Council.

The eldest prince who launched a coup and seized power could get the canonization edict of Queen Arianne, which really surprised many people.

Although unexpected, it also makes sense.

After all, the eldest prince has now occupied the capital of the empire and controlled the court and the imperial council. Therefore, whether or not there is such an edict has no influence on his power.

And outsiders also wouldn't think that the canonization edict that the Queen willingly granted him must be the result of the First Prince's coercion and inducement.

Therefore, at the moment when the many nobles of the empire who were summoned in the throne room were chatting and discussing each other, they were worried about the future of the empire...

Tread...

The eldest prince Helos Targaryen suddenly pushed open the side door and walked into the throne room under the protection of the heavily armed Imperial soldiers.

And the chattering discussion in the throne room stopped abruptly, like a chicken croaking and pinching its neck, staring at him nervously with wide eyes.

But Helos didn't care about it either. Since he made up his mind to do such a thing, he wasn't afraid of the eyes of others.

Now the entire throne room is full of chills, and Helos is escorted by imperial soldiers wearing black and red capes and armor.

He stepped onto the steps step by step without looking sideways, and walked towards the Iron Throne.

The throne room was also filled with these soldiers, all clenching their spears and shields, staring coldly at these imperial nobles.

Don't look at these people who are usually high-ranking aristocratic gentlemen.

If their commander gave an order now, these noble gentlemen are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and even if they have wings, they will not be able to escape.

Tread...

Then, in the silence, Heros climbed the end of the steps of the throne room and came to a chair that was placed beside the Iron Throne.

Then he turned around and looked back at the nervous-faced nobles of the Empire below, as well as the former Prime Minister Vilas Tyrell who was standing in the front silently and leaning on crutches~www.NovelMTL.com~ He His eyes swept across every face present, and saw the different expressions on their faces.

Some people faced the eyes of the eldest prince, but Wei Nuonuo hurriedly lowered their heads, while some people talked about him and pretended not to see them, and some people didn't look sideways, and also stared straight at Helos, but He Luo Ross didn't take it seriously, his eyes just paused, and then swept over again.

The atmosphere in the throne room was a little depressing. It was as quiet as if you could hear everyone's breathing. Then Helos looked at the expressions on everyone's faces before he nodded slightly and sat on this chair.

Helos did not sit on the Iron Throne, but sat on a makeshift chair next to the Iron Throne.

At the same time, there is also a crown symbolizing imperial power on the Iron Throne, which reflects brightly.

"Lord Vilas Tyrell, the former Prime Minister."

"It can be announced."

Heros spoke suddenly, breaking the extremely suppressed atmosphere in the throne room.

huh~

There were a lot of relieved voices coming from below. The aura of the First Prince was so powerful that many people almost couldn't hold on any longer.

And the former Prime Minister Vilas Tyrell, who was standing at the head of many imperial nobles and ministers, heard the voice of the eldest prince and nodded slightly while leaning on crutches, then walked out of the ranks and announced Arianne himself. The decree of Her Majesty the Queen.

Arianne canonized the eldest prince Heros Targaryen as the first heir to the royal family, and appointed him the post of Prince Regent to supervise state affairs.

Although this news has already been circulated among the nobles at the scene, there are still some people who are not aware of it, and it needs to be announced on an official official occasion.
