Without waiting for Danny or the dwarf to ask, the Big Crow shook its head and said, "Don't ask me why I think and say that. I'm also going with the flow in the river of fate."
"You're not deliberately mystifying us and fooling us with words we don't understand, are you?" Tyrion said suspiciously, "Let me tell you, I stopped using this little trick after I turned twelve, because it's too low-level!"
"I'm the Green Prophet. Do you understand what the Old Gods mean to the Green Prophet?" The Big Crow looked at the dwarf, its red eyes solemn. "I swear to all the Old Gods that what I'm saying today is true."
The dwarf fell silent, conflicted.
At this moment, Second Grandpa Blinden spoke, "Bran, you said that what happened to the Tully Family was also the judgment of fate. Why?"
The Big Crow did not immediately answer Second Grandpa's question. Instead, it flew in the air and looked at everyone around it. Nobles, civilians, and the Queen.
"It's really rare for everyone to gather together in such an orderly manner today. I'm afraid there won't be another chance like this in the future.
Therefore, I feel that today is the day of judgment for Arya. We can also hold the great council and great judgment that Dragon Queen has been planning for many years.
I'm the Green Prophet, the guardian of this generation of Westeros. Perhaps, I can't stop the arrival of the long night, but I know everything that has happened to Westeros. "
"In my eyes, you have no secrets. Westeros have no secrets!"
At this moment, the big crow's red eyes flashed with a bright red light, it was extremely dazzling. Everyone saw an image flashing quickly in that pair of strange red eyes, it was obviously not clear, but it seemed very familiar, just like … ….
A thought flashed through their minds, and they suddenly realized that those were the secrets they had buried deep in their hearts.
Everyone was shocked.
The next moment, the red light in front of them disappeared, and they returned to the judgment hall in reality.
The people and scenery did not change, but their mentality and the way they looked at the Big Crow had changed.
It was not lying. It knew everyone's secrets. It was too terrifying.
"What do you want to do?" Danny asked in surprise.
"Do what you've always wanted to do." The Big Crow landed back on Arya's shoulder and turned to Second Grandpa. "We're all guilty!"
"What crime?" Hei Yu asked blankly.
"You've betrayed your vows!" Crow said.
Danny had a strange look on her face. Was Bran going to blow himself up and expose his grandfather's dark secrets?
"You mean the War of the Usurpers?" Hei Yu argued, "That's because His Majesty Eris cruelly killed your uncle. He's Tully's son-in-law."
"The motto of the Tully family is' Family, Responsibility, Honor '," Old Blackfish emphasized.
No matter what other people thought, he and his nephew Eide Mu tried their best to live up to the family motto.
There were a lot of Seven Kingdoms No.1 in "Game of Thrones". For example, the No.1 General Robert, the No.1 Swordsman Arthur Dane, the No.1 Foster Father Jon Ayrin, the No.1 Best Friends Robert and Ned …
If one were to select the best uncles and relatives in the Seven Kingdoms, it would definitely be Eide Mu Tully and Old Blackfish.
For the sake of Stark, they were willing to sacrifice their families. His uncle was even willing to be his nephew's savior. At that time, Eide Mu had never seen the girl's face. (The Frey family's appearance was similar to that of weasels. They were all ugly.)
Even though he had sacrificed everything, sometimes Robb would scold and criticize his uncle in front of outsiders. However, his uncle would still smile and accept punishment. (Eide Mu Tully in the original novel was much smarter, kinder, and braver than in "Game of Thrones". He was almost the only great noble with no original sin. If one were to choose a king based on virtue and temperament, he would be the most qualified.)
Bran sighed. "Revenge for uncle was something that happened later. But when mother was only four or five years old, the alliance between the direwolf and the trout began. What was the purpose of the alliance?"
"To protect ourselves!" Old Blackfish blurted out. "The Mad King is crazy. Every noble is in danger. Hejian is a place of war. We need to form an alliance to protect ourselves."
"Grandpa told you this? It's not wrong. Tully doesn't have the ambition to be king. She just wants to protect her current power and go one step further. "
Hejian was connected to the royal territory, the valley, the northern territory, the western territory, and the river bend. It was definitely a place of war. But at the same time, if Hejian was strong enough, it would be easy for it to expand.
Before Aegon landed, the overlords of the Seven Kingdoms often appeared in Hejian.
"Eris was in power for twenty years. Only in the last few years did chaos appear. If they were prepared to form an alliance to protect themselves, it would be reasonable. But when Stark and Tully had the initial marriage plan, it was in the tenth year of Eris's reign.
Before the War of the Usurpers, you should carefully observe the marriage relationships of the Westeros families. Maybe you can understand something. "
At this point, Bran stopped and let everyone think.
Even Dani fell into deep thought when he reminded her of this.
Before she understood the history of the Seven Kingdoms, she never felt that there was anything wrong with the marriage between the families in "Game of Thrones". After all, they were of equal social status.
But look at the marriage of the previous generation of the "rebels."
In the North, Rickard married his cousin. Well, Ned's parents were both Stark.
In the West, Tywin married his cousin.
In the river bend, Lord Inflatable Fish chose the strongest duke in the duchy, Hyder.
In the royal territory, the Mad King married his sister.
In the valley, Jon Ayrin's first wife came from the Royce family. That was Bronze Jon's Royce, one of the top dukes in the valley.
In the Storm Lands, Erlu's mother came from the Eastmon family in the Storm Lands, and Eastmon was also one of the Storm Lands' noble clans.
Dorn, Doran Martell's wife, came from the great nobility of Novos across the narrow sea.
It had to be explained here that although Dao Lang was free to love, his marriage was not out of the realm of political demands.
The Martell family was different from the other seven families.
Just like the "City Builder" Brandon, who founded Stark, Martell came from Nymeria, who came from the other side of the narrow sea.
Therefore, Martell had always had a close relationship with the top royal family of the Free City.
For example, Martell could get the Sea King of Braavos to vouch for the secret marriage between Second Brother Wei and Araine; for example, Quentin Martell dared to promise Pentos to the Ragged Prince (the original work); for example, Martell and Tyrossi's Great Lord exchanged their heirs — Tyrossi's daughter was raised in Flowing Water Garden, and Araine almost went to Tyrossi to be the Great Lord's wine maid.
Dao Lang marrying the daughter of Novos' top noble family was no different from other dukes marrying the daughter of a great noble in their territory. It was all to consolidate their existing power.
Seven kingdoms, eight territories, none of the wives of the lords belonged to another duchy, so what about their children?
On the contrary.
In the West, Tywin had been trying to matchmake Cersei to marry Lega.
In the North, Brandon married Tully, and his daughter married Theon Bella.
In Dorne, Dao Lang's mother (Duchess of Dorne) hoped that Ilya could marry Jaime.
In the Valley, Old Jon had no sons or daughters to marry, and he was too old, so he took in two adopted sons and later married the second-hand Lysa.
In the King's Territory, Lega married Ilya.
Riverbend seemed to be as stable as an old dog, but in fact, it was because they did not have children of the right age. If Margaery was born ten years earlier, it was very likely that she would have become Lega's wife.
During the War of the Usurpers, Targaryen's relationship with Tyrell was much closer than Dorne's. Old Rose almost became Targaryen's daughter-in-law in the early years, and Targaryen also had a son who was adopted in the High Court.
Comparing the marriages of the parents and juniors, it could be seen that the political situation of the Seven Kingdoms in the later period of the Mad King's rule was very "explosive".
It was like a warehouse full of barrels of gunpowder.
When everyone understood this, a thoughtful expression appeared on their faces. Bran then continued, "In the three hundred years after Aegon unified the Seven Kingdoms, there were very few cross-border marriages, and the marriage of the children of the Duke's family was even rarer.
So, when Stark and the Tully family formed an alliance, the other Dukes were already on guard.
Under the Mad King's rule, the nobles did not feel safe in the political atmosphere, forcing them to subconsciously imitate Stark and Tully's alliance.
Dorne's original goal was to form a marriage alliance with the Western Region.
But Tywin did not like Dorne, he was more willing to choose his old friend of many years, the Mad King Eris, and let Cersei marry Lega.
But Tywin had been ruling the Seven Kingdoms for more than ten years, and his power had reached the peak of the Duke's. Eris, who was mad but not stupid, rejected him and chose the weaker Dorne.
The marriage alliance between the Wind's Rest Castle and the Direwolf (Robert and Lyanna) was beyond everyone's expectations. Theon and Stark did not have any friendship, and looking back, they were also surprised by this marriage.
That was the work of a scholar … "
"Everything was arranged by fate, for my ambitious grandfather to meet the radical faction in the City of Knowledge.
When the Wolf, Fish and Stag Alliance was first established, Duke Ayrin also joined in.
No matter who sat on the Iron Throne, at that time, they could no longer tolerate the alliance of the Four Grand Duchies with Stark as the core.
It was also at that time that fate began to punish Stark, through the hands of the Mad King.
After that, fate's sword of punishment fell on Targaryen's head, and fourteen years later, it was the turn of Hejian, the Valley and the Western Region. "
Under the stunned expressions of the people around him, Bran looked around and said coldly, "No one can escape the final judgment, this is fate.
You can not believe in fate, but it has always been above all living things, it does not care whether you believe in it or not. "
Tyrion said blankly, "Bran, are you serious? The plans of the radical scholars in the City of Knowledge, Duke Rickard's ambition, are all true? "
"Why would I lie and slander my own grandfather?" Bran turned to the Dragon Queen. "Your Majesty does not seem surprised."
"Aren't you omniscient and omnipotent? What do I know? You already know." Danny said.
Silence.
Bran was silent. Blackfish was silent.
Bran's words were too shocking, it was difficult for them to adapt.
Everyone in the hall was silently digesting the information that they had just heard that almost changed the history of the Seven Kingdoms. Or rather, the truth of history was only revealed to them now.
"Why is it like this …" Blackfish murmured blankly.
"Why is it like this …"
Blackfish was not the only one who thought this, everyone was asking the same question in their hearts.
No one knew who they were asking.
"Stark, the root of all evil!" Suddenly, Princess Ariane lamented. "The disasters of the Seven Kingdoms in the past few decades seemed to be all because of Stark.
The War of the Usurpers was rooted in Stark's ambition.
The direct cause was Lyanna running away from the marriage, and Bunyan Stark did not report it.
The War of the Four Kings …
Lady Caitlin kidnapping Tyrion was at least the trigger.
Now, the Variant Ghost King is Stark, and the fall of Casterly Rock City that caused the collapse of the situation was also caused by him. "
When everyone heard this, they were stunned, and then the way they looked at Stark changed.
Under the accusation of everyone, not to mention the normal Jon and Sansa, even the abnormal Erya shrank back.
