King's Landing was made up of three hills, and the Red Keep was built on Aegon Hill near the sea.
Standing on the balcony of the Red Keep's Maegor Tower, with the height of the hills, one could almost see half of King's Landing.
At this moment, Cersei looked as far as she could, and she felt that the city that she was once so familiar with had suddenly become unfamiliar.
There seemed to be a sandbox of a city in front of her, and a large bag of soybeans was poured onto it. Each bean represented a mob, and there were so many of them that one could not see the end of them.
"Execute the blasphemer Cersei!"
"Blood for blood, only the whore Cersei's life can be worth the archbishop's!"
The mob's roars were like a tsunami, and the tall and majestic Red Keep seemed to be a small boat floating on the sea.
Every wave of tsunami could capsize it.
For the first time, Cersei felt fear from the commoners.
"You said that pushing the blame to the wyvern knights would calm the crowd." She shrank back, her face contorted as she roared at You Lun.
A fierce look flashed across You Lun's eyes, and he said helplessly, "I said that as long as you give the nobles the right reason, they will definitely calm down, and then your rule will be as stable as a mountain."
"Because the foundation of the king's rule has never been the commoners, but the nobles!"
Then, his tone changed, and he said sternly, "The nobles have indeed been appeased, and the council minister has not bothered you recently, has he?
But you still need the church, and you need a new archbishop to crown you.
You also need the commoners, and you need them to calm down.
Tens of thousands of people surround the Red Keep every day, and you dare to go out hunting?
Your ears are filled with treacherous words, and you still have the mood to listen to Doctor Wargrave's opera?
When you hold a masquerade ball, the nobles will talk about what the mob outside the Red Keep did today, and you will still be happy? "
"But three years of confinement will kill me." Cersei looked at her husband pitifully.
"Stay in the tower for a month or two, and when the anger of the church and the commoners over the death of the Great Sparrow fades, you will be able to go wherever you want."
"But …" Cersei was tempted.
You Lun continued, "Big Sparrow is dead, Aegon has been exiled, and Stannis has never been a threat. Your enemies are all gone, so you don't need this bit of time. "
Cersei shook her head. "Even if I'm only absent for a month or two, the country will still fall into chaos because of the loss of a wise leader."
You Lun's scarred face twitched a few times before he nodded and sighed. "That's true. You're the pillar of support for Westeros. You can't miss a single day."
"How about this? I'll be your attendant, just like the chief eunuch of the Eastern Kingdom. I'll help the Queen pass on her orders to her subjects."
"Chief Eunuch?" Cersei was surprised.
You Lun then told him about how the Emperor of Yi Di used eunuchs to manage the palace and how he lived a carefree life.
"This system is good! Cersei said.
"But, if I make you a eunuch, will it …"
Her eyes wandered to the lower part of her husband's body, her expression uncertain.
You Lun's scarred face darkened as he said in a muffled voice, "It's just a metaphor! Aren't we closer than a eunuch to a king? " “
Cersei heard this and looked at him warily, thinking to herself, 'Even Jaime is unreliable, let alone you.'
"The plan is good, but you're my husband after all. You can't be my errand boy. Let's …" Cersei clapped her hands regretfully and shook her head. "If Cabourn was still alive, he would be the most suitable person to be my lackey. Now, I can only let my cousin Davon try."
Robb's head was placed on the neck of the Magic Mountain by Cabourn. How could Erya let him go?
"That works too." You Lun's expression did not change. "Davon is a good lad. Everyone says that he's very similar to the former Prince Regent Kevon!
With him in charge, I'll lead the troops to conquer the valley. You can listen to operas and hold balls in the Empress Dowager's Tower in peace! "
"Uncle Kevon …" Cersei's eyes darkened. "Perhaps we should call Tanya over."
.....
You Lun's idea was not bad. When the stubborn and despicable Queen Cersei issued a 'decree of guilt' and announced that it was her fault for trusting the Pterosaur Mercenary Group that caused the Holy Sparrow's tragic death and that she would be confining herself for three years to atone for her sins, the people of the King's Landing were shocked.
When You Lun invited the four old nuns to personally lock Queen Cersei in the Empress Dowager's Tower, even the parading sparrows gradually dispersed.
The whore Empress Dowager had voluntarily abstained from food and prayed for three years. What else could they ask for?
Even the radical Children of War only clamored for blood and called for the Seven Gods to conquer the Western EsGod Alliance.
In other words, they started a religious war. The Church's armed forces formed a volunteer army and crossed the sea to support the Dragon Queen in fighting against the heretics of the Allied Army.
.....
"The situation in the King's Landing is not right now. Lannister's power is waning while Tiemin's power is rising rapidly!" Scholar Pylos said solemnly.
Dragonstone Island. Dany sat on a wide fishbone chair in the control center of the Mana Tower. Opposite her were Marwin, Pylos, Larissa, and Jayro Dane.
Bronn was patrolling Dragonstone Island. The giant crab was stuck in the North and had not returned.
"I'm afraid that Cersei's false confinement will become a real imprisonment." Danny sighed.
"Very likely." Marvin nodded. "In the previous battle at the Blackwater River, the Golden Army of ten thousand suffered 40% casualties and was almost crippled. Dorne was even worse. Of the four thousand Desert Cavalrymen, only one thousand two hundred remained.
But similarly, the Iron Throne did not fare well either. Out of ten thousand Lannister, only five thousand were left. Their commander, Sir Davon, broke his left leg.
River Bend lost less than a thousand men. You Lun's Tiemin only lost three hundred men. "
"This," Danny was stunned. "Isn't it too obvious? Is Cersei an idiot? "
"I heard that Cersei participated in the formulation of the battle plan," Scholar Pylos said.
"Uh, what was she thinking?" Danny was completely speechless.
The reason was simple. You Lun told Queen Cersei that this battle was to defend her Iron Throne. She could not let the River Bend Army, led by Randall Tarly, become the main force.
Cersei agreed with this statement and formulated the battle plan based on this principle.
Actually, there was no problem with the battle plan. You Lun was right. The River Bend Army could not die for Lannister. The Lion Army had to be the main force.
Otherwise, if the Iron Throne collapsed, Tiemin's sneak attack from behind would become a joke.
The key was the timing of Tiemin's attack.
According to the original plan, the Lion Army would hold off the Golden Army and enter the most intense and anxious state of the battle. Then, You Lun would lead Tiemin to attack the enemy's rear along Rose Avenue.
You Lun would let the Lion Army hold off until they could not hold on any longer. Only then would his army charge out and sweep the battlefield.
Therefore, as long as a teammate had bad intentions, even the most perfect battle plan would have a major flaw.
Just like the War of the Four Kings back then, Luo Bai's tactics were bold and unconstrained, and his personal achievements were godly. However, Bolton was disloyal and kept sending people from the Northern Territory to deliver their heads to Luo Bai, ruining the good situation.
"What's the situation with the Alliance's pterosaur squad?" Danny asked.
Marwin said, "A dragon knight and a pterosaur died in the Battle of Blackwater River. Larissa killed a pterosaur knight.
The remaining three dragon knights plotted against the archbishop and landed in You Lun's camp that afternoon. In the end, they were ambushed and completely wiped out. "
"The Golden Army killed a pterosaur?"
Larissa shook her head and said with a strange expression, "At the beginning, Cersei prepared a large amount of wildfire for the pterosaur knights to throw.
However, the Alchemist Guild's wildfire bullets did not have Tyrion oil to increase stability. An accident happened and a dragon knight was burned to death on the spot. After that, they did not dare to throw wildfire bottles. "
"How pitiful. Five pterosaurs rushed thousands of miles to the Westeros and did nothing. It was as if they were performing the 'Dragon Knights' cowardly death 'for the people of the Seven Kingdoms." Danny's mouth twitched.
"You Lun is really bold. You dare to play with the Alliance like this." Marwin exclaimed.
"Maybe he has good eyes and knows that the queen will win." Larissa grinned.
"This responsibility may fall on Empress Dowager Cersei. After all, she even dared to refuse to pay the Iron Treasury," Pylos said.
Danny thought for a moment and said, "You Lun killed a thousand men of the New Gith Iron Legion and a fleet of more than ten ships.
The Gith Iron Legion is one of the main forces of the Alliance.
Today's five pterosaurs are about the same. Maybe he has too many lice and does not itch. "
In short, You Lun and Cersei were bold and bold. They were not afraid of the Alliance at all.
"By the way," Marwin remembered Messai and told her about the King's Landing's request, "Do you want to send Messai back?"
"No, send her back to King's Landing, and Messai will be dead," Larissa quickly said.
Blacksister and Messai both lived in the Great Pyramid. They had been with the Dragon Queen for a long time and their personalities were not bad. Naturally, they had built a deep friendship.
Danny pondered and said, "If Cersei sends two more letters asking for Messai, I will consider sending her to Dragonstone Island. If not, pretend that you did not contact me. "
Everyone nodded.
Scholar Pylos asked again, "Your Majesty, what plans do you have for the Great Cathedral of Baylor?"
"What, the Church also sent a letter?" Danny asked curiously.
"Yes, Archbishop Matthew asked if you are willing to serve as the Archbishop of the Seven Kingdoms. The Iron Throne is contacting the Archbishops of the Starry Cathedral in the old town. It seems that they want to interfere with the election of the new Archbishop.
The Great Sparrow died in the wildfire in front of everyone. Even the Holy Mother couldn't resurrect him. Unfortunately, the Great Cathedral of Baylor lacked a strong leader to replace the Great Sparrow.
The King's Landing Church has lost its backbone. Naturally, people are anxious. Some of the Archbishops thought of you, "Pylos said.
"I have an idea," Danny said with a smile, "to create another position above the Archbishop. The Pope.
I will be the first Pope of the Church of the Seven Gods.
Slave Bay and Westeros are two different large dioceses. There will be an Archbishop in each diocese to assist the Pope in managing the church. "
"The Pope?" Everyone was shocked and murmured with a look of disbelief.
"Your Majesty, if you rule the world, the Church of the Seven Gods will become the mainstream religion of the world.
Compared to the king of a country, the Pope, who controls the power of the world's churches, has too much power. I am afraid that it will threaten the royal power! "Dr. Malvern advised.
"I have two questions," Danny raised her index finger. "First, an Archbishop like the Great Sparrow. Do the Seven Kingdoms have more advantages than disadvantages, or do the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?"
"That depends on who he is dealing with," Dr. Bull-neck muttered. "To the nobles and the king, he is guilty of serious violations of the nobles' rights and provokes conflicts between the Church and the nobles.
But no one can deny that the Great Sparrow is upright and honest. All the benefits of the Church are used to help the poor people.
The Great Sparrow does not count the living! "
"So, the world needs someone like the Great Sparrow," Danny said.
"But you are the king …" Malvern was in a dilemma.
The king was the representative of the nobles!
