Chapter 297
"Why?" Slynt and Alliser exclaimed in shock.
"Your Majesty, you can't interfere in the normal election of Night's Watch! Since the birth of Night's Watch, in the past 10,000 years, no monarch has been able to designate the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch at will." Old Aemon was worried persuaded sternly.
"I understand," Dany gave the old man a reassuring smile, looked around the hall with a solemn, confused, or dissatisfied Night's Watch, and said loudly: "I don't think Slynt and Alliser are suitable The Lord Commander was not selfish.
In fact, the two of them treated me more respectfully than the rude, wary old Smith Donal was when he first met me."
" But the faction traces on them are too heavy. When they arrived at Castle Black this morning, they tied Jon Snow for a very reluctant reason - Maester Aemon and Acting City Lord Donal have already exposed this matter, and Earl Slynt, as a newcomer, actually has no Night's Watch Officer.
He hadn't even seen Jon Snow before.
Why would he do that?
Just one reason!
Slynt belongs to Lannister, Lannister and Stark hated deep as the sea, Lord Earl has not extinguished his determination to continue to serve Lannister even after being exiled to the Wall.
Well, it is known for Targaryen and Stark's bad things , I can't help Jon Snow because he has a Stark father.
My thoughts are very simple, Night's Watch only belongs to Night's Watch and belongs to North Wall. No one with previous identity and experience of any political force is allowed. You are not qualified to be held accountable, but if you put on black clothed, you must strictly maintain your neutrality."
Old Aemon looked thoughtful, and nodded gently.
Bowen Marsh frowned. As an agent Lord Commander, he actually did not remove the ambition of the word "agent".
First of all, his background is not enough, almost everyone has a 'Ser' title, and he has a commoner background.
Because of his commoner background and no system military education, he was played by Mance Rayder and fought a tragic victory in Bridge of Skulls, which was already in short supply at Night's Watch. Another hundred elites were lost.
He fought bravely and was not afraid of sacrifice. Although he was as fat as a Pomegranate, he still rushed ahead of the black clothed brother, but the Lord Commander not only needed courage, but also wisdom, military experience, and temperament.
Secondly, he is very responsible, is a real Night's Watch man, and takes the profession of Night's Watch as his lifelong belief.
After understanding the flaws of oneself, he directly extinguished the last hope in his heart to become a Lord Commander, and was determined to use the rest of his life to assist a wise and powerful Lord Commander.
Slynt is the "True God-Emperor" he chose. He is brave and good at fighting, and has excellent military quality - otherwise he would not be eligible to be promoted to the Commander of the garrison army, and his status is noble - now he has the real power of Fiefdom Earl, his Imperial Court relationship - Cersei's confidant with Tywin, he's young and promising - under forty, he...
But no matter how good Slynt is, he's Lannister Die-hard loyalty can't be washed away. Before the Dragon Queen appeared, 'Lannister confidants' could be a plus, but now...
"Night's Watch is strictly neutral and will never participate in the Westeros power struggle. !" Bowen Marsh said firmly.
Night's Watch is silently nodded in the hall, and abiding by neutrality is one of the most important vows of Night's Watch, and no one can refute it.
Dany didn't even glance at the ugly faces of Slynt and Alliser, just stared at the Shadow Tower Commander who was brooding and said: "Obviously, the two adults Slynt and Alliser can't do this. , they belong to Lannister, and Iron Throne sits Lannister.
As long as Others are proven true, the Seven Kingdoms nobles will never ignore Wall again.
At that time , the forces of all parties are coming, let's not mention how a selfish commander can convince the public. If Night's Watch falls to Lannister, as Lannister's enemy, how should Targaryen deal with you?
It's better to talk about it , I'll lead by example—"
Dany raised his right hand, his expression solemn and his voice loud: "I swear in the name of the ancestors of Targaryen, I swear in my role as Mother of Dragons, no matter what I swear by Night's Watch No matter how much investment, Night's Watch only belongs to Wall, and I will never ask Night's Watch to serve my personal interests."
"Okay!" Bowen Marsh, Smith Donal, Mallister and other Night's Watch executives shouted in unison, The Night's Watch brother in the hall applauded excitedly, and even Jon looked towards Dany with admiration in his eyes.
"This woman..." Archmaester Perestan looked mixed and confused.
If the Others are true, if the Others are as powerful as the legends say, and if the Others really have an attempt to overtake the Wall, then the Seven Kingdoms nobles will end their disputes, and the situation of going north to fight against the enemy is inevitable and must occur.
The battle of Usurper and Chaos of Four Kings can be connected one after another, so that the blood of the top nobles hated deep as the sea, can they trust each other and deal with the common enemy with peace of mind?
Dragon Queen's oath at this moment is undoubtedly a good start. The national force is united under the command of the neutral force Night's Watch, which is selfless and only serves Westeros.
Thinking about it, the Dragon Queen's decision to exclude Alliser and Slynt from the Lord Commander candidate was not only right, it was wise and decisive.
Night's Watch must be neutral, otherwise the plan of 'Seven Kingdoms against the Alliance of Others' will never be realized.
Unconsciously, the red-nosed old man also began to applaud, and his heart was filled with emotion: Apart from the dispute between the concepts of "real world" and "Magic civilization", Dragon Queen's talent, strength, and bearing , Wisdom is beyond the Seven Kingdoms Game of Thrones, there are too many players - it is not a level, it is the master of Seven Kingdoms!
"Your Majesty, I, you misunderstood me..." After a pause of cheers, Ser Alliser's lean and serious cheeks smothered the color of aggrieved pig livers, and stumblingly said: " I admit that oneself hates Jon and Stark, but not to please Lannister.
I'm not a confidant of Cersei and Tywin, unlike Earl Slynt.
In fact, it's Duke Tywin Forced me to put on a black robe."
"Oh, so what are you doing?" Dany said curiously.
Two crystal teardrops swirled in his eyes, Alliser's tall and sturdy body swayed gently, as if unable to withstand some kind of huge blow, choked out: "Your Majesty, I, I, I'm from Crownlands House Thorne, My brother and nephew died in Ruby Ford with Prince Rhaegar, and so did I..."
"This..." Dany was shocked and embarrassed, motherfucker, this... This is a loyal servant of the Dragon Family!
She accidentally injured an allied army!
Maester Aemon whispered: "House Thorne is a bannermen directly under the Royal Family, fighting to the end for Targaryen.
After King's Landing fell, Duke Tywin forced Ser Alliser to wear black The choice between clothed and beheading, Ser came here."
Dany became more and more embarrassed. When people came to the Wall, they still didn't forget their old masters, and they wanted to kill the son of Dragon Family's nemesis. This kind of spirit... ....
In fact, she should have thought of it earlier, Night's Watch comes from all over the Seven Kingdoms, there must be factions.
For example, when she first came, the one-armed Smith Donal, who was wary of her, from Storm's End, was an absolute "stag" who watched Baratheon's three brothers grow up.
And an important source of Wall Night's Watch is criminals, criminal civilians, and nobles who are on the wrong side of the game of thrones.
The Battle of the Usurper was just 16 years ago, and there should have been a large number of Knights loyal to the Dragon Family dispatched here.
Alas, after coming to Westeros for so long, the only loyal minister she met was heartbroken by her, which is totally inappropriate.
Fortunately, Dany has been Queen for a few years, her breasts are not big, but the city is deep enough. She only glanced at Old Maester Aemon lightly, and said loudly: "Of course I know Crownlands Thorne, and I also know Ser Alliser. Loyalty to Targaryen.
Before coming to Westeros, Ser Barristan had introduced me to countless old Seven Kingdoms stories, including the whole family loyal House Thorne."
Any? Why can't I remember?
Barristan was bewildered, but his face was firmly nodded. It must be that oneself is getting old, memory is declining, and some of the words that have been said have been forgotten.
Legendary White Cloak, who is honest, high in character, and upright, can lie?
Everyone believed it.
"But like I said before, Lord Commander of the Night's Watch cannot be selfish and must abide by neutrality. No matter how much Targaryen pays for Night's Watch, he will not do it for his own benefit and affect the purity of Night's Watch. ."
Dany devotion to righteousness that inspires reverence, righteous words, solemn expressions, and sonorous sentences: "Targaryen, what you say must be done, what you do must be firm, and what you must do must be fruitful!"
"Your Majesty..." Maester Aemon choked out.
"Your Majesty..." Bowen Marsh's eyes were red with emotion.
"Your Majesty..." Ser Alliser finally burst into tears.
"Your Majesty..."
...
Fortunately, this King is clever enough to turn embarrassment into moving, moving All the black clothed persons had tears in their eyes, and set a good example for them of 'Night's Watch never participating in Seven Kingdoms politics'... I don't know if a commander who broke his oath in the future will be stabbed by oneself black clothed brother A sloppy one.
Half an hour later, the noisy and lively dinner was over, Dany left the main castle hall, accompanied by Barristan, old Aemon, and Jon, and walked towards King's Tower.
"Your Majesty, this afternoon's trial..." Jon's grey eyes flickered with mixed emotions of gratitude, admiration and worry, "many thanks to you."
" Don't thank me. Whether an organization is strong or not depends on the system of reward and punishment. Merit is rewarded, no punishment in the absence of wrongdoing. If justice is lost, people's hearts will easily disperse, and honor will naturally disappear.
Beyond the wall is already bitter and cold, without cohesion and honor, what battle strength can the Night's Watch organization have?" Dany shook his head.
Jon hesitated, then asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, when the winter is over and the Summer comes, what are you going to do with the Iron Throne after you take back the Iron Throne...Winterfell Stark?"
“Hehe, now Winterfell belongs to Ramsay Snow, right?” Dany smiled meaningfully.
"North people don't forget Stark!" Jon affirmed.
"Nigga—" Walking up the stone steps, Little White, who was lying at the door, stretched his neck and called out to Dany.
Dany patted his front jaw and asked, "Where have you been? I haven't seen a silhouette all day."
"winter is coming, in the woods The wild beast is hidden and hard to find." Maester Aemon lifted the oil lamp and looked at the charred black wild beast in front of Little White, "It has roots and long horns, is it a deer? But it is so tall and strong, it looks more like a A wild horse? Strange, I don't know..."
"Ah, a unicorn!" the old man suddenly exclaimed, "I remember, it's a unicorn. The Seven is on, White Dragon killed a unicorn!"
