Chapter 375
Green Graces told me what happened in Meereen in the last month, not only Maester Aemon was stunned, but even Dany was convinced by Maester Lai.
Let's not talk about Slaver's Bay with a trifling population of 1.5 million, even in the ancient times of the Celestial Dynasty where there were tens of millions or 100 million people at every turn, major cases involving tens of thousands of people rarely appeared.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who likes to kill heroes the most, only implicated more than 30,000 people in the Hu Weiyong case, and only 15,000 in the Lanyu case.
In Meereen, which has a population of only over 300,000, Maester Lai handled a horrific case involving 80,000 people and as many as 20,000 executed prisoners.
As Green Graces said, almost all the Ghis nobles and merchants in the middle and upper classes of Meereen were overthrown.
Well, during the raid on Meereen, because Meereen didn't have time to resist, Dany only took the Great Masters and some slave-masters who supported Yunkai, and didn't hurt those above the middle class and below the Great Masters Ghis people in the upper middle and high level of society - have economic losses, Dany has deprived their slaves and most of their fixed assets.
It also left troubles later, so that the Ghis people who were dissatisfied with the Dragon Queen gradually gathered together to create a "Sons of the Harpy" terrorist organization.
Of course, Dany is by no means a white lotus, nor is he bound by the "You are as merciful as Rhaegar" spell like the original Daenerys.
I can't find a reason to be on the surface, so I just endure it?
impossible.
Sons of the Harpy or not, the Ghis must be cleaned up.
According to her original plan, she planned to choose the battlefield for fighting the Allies under the city of Meereen, let the Ghis bear the pain of the liberation war, and completely destroy the existing social structure of Meereen.
There are two reasons for choosing Meereen as the battlefield:
1. Defending the enemy outside the country sounds simple, but it is difficult to do. If Dany chooses the battlefield in Tolos, 900 kilometers west of Meereen, only food transportation can kill her; The huge plains, her army left the city wall and went west to attack Tolos, the Allies will definitely cut her back from the Dothraki steppe and Slaver's Bay sea, and even raid Meereen in the grain center.
If you want to compare Meereen with famous gates in Chinese history, it is very similar to Mountain and Sea Trial.
It is close to the sea and connected to the big river. The exit is the vast plain and the strong enemy of the Barbarian Race, and the entrance is the large fertile land of Meereen, Yunkai and Astapor.
It is because of such a black-hearted plan that Dany moved the Ghis from Yunkai to Meereen, and Meereen's new Free Folk to the Great Plains of Yunkai.
As for whether so many Ghis people in Meereen will be armed to riot...
Maester Lai is so tossed, Meereen is still not out of control.
Indeed, the Guards, one of the main field forces of the Dragon Queen, are stationed in Meereen!
Unfortunately, God's calculations are not as good as man's, and the Dragon Queen's conscience is bad, but Maester Lai easily disrupts her plans.
Because of an assassination incident, it was not King who was stabbed, but the Commander of the Guards, which implicated tens of thousands of wicked and treacherous people.
Out of less than 300,000 Ghis people, 60,000 were imprisoned and 20,000 were sentenced to death.
This ratio, even in the entire ancient Chinese history, Maester Lai dared to yell to countless ancestors: Who else? !
What's even more awesome is that not only did he attack the powerful and businessmen, but even Meereen's religious power was almost flattened.
Meereen Green Graces' status in the religious circles of Slaver's Bay is similar to High Septon in Church of The Seven, but was locked up by an Earl City Lord and seized the entire family.
It's just too...
"Bang-crash-bang!" Dragon Queen smashed three tea bowls and one teapot with a slap, "Too hateful!"
Uh, when I slapped it on the coffee table, the porcelain bowl and pot fell to the ground and shattered.
Queen was furious, cheeks flushed, eyes full of murderous aura: "scoundrel thing, dare to treat my "legal code" as a child's play, and ignore the tradition of not being punished by Saintess, he is tired of living It's over!"
This remark seemed to prop up Green Graces' courage and waist, and also opened the valve of her resentment, followed by Dragon Queen and cursed: "Cleon is a vicious and merciless, inhuman, cruel The cunning butcher.
It's all thanks to Your Majesty's grace.
He has failed Your Majesty's trust and should be executed immediately.
, let the dragon eat him."
"Then," the Dragon Queen thought for a while, and said, "Lord Green Graces, or I will ride the dragon to Meereen now, use the Queen's privileges, and immediately arrest Cleon I'll bring it to justice.
Or, let's go through normal procedures, I will hand you a Queen imperial decree, and then you will take it to Meereen City by boat, and use the imperial decree to find Commander Ser Jon of the Imperial Guard. , tie up Cleon Chainbreaker and put him in jail."
"Well, what's the difference?" Old Saintess was stunned.
Dany pointed to the seven Ghis men in Tokar robes who were blocked by Unsullied four or five meters away, and asked, "They are all Meereen sufferers who were oppressed by Cleon, right? The accuser and the witnesses."
"Well, they are all Meereen businessmen who came to Astapor to complain to you." Green Graces nod and said.
Originally she was worried that Dragon Queen would cover up the oneself courtier, even she was secret mastermind.
That's why I brought in a group of accusers to prove how heinous Cleon was, hoping to put a little pressure on Queen to stop her from doing so.
It was only after I came here that I found that oneself thought too much. Queen has always been so wise and benevolent, and empathized with Earl Butcher's atrocities, and decided to arrest him immediately.
In this way, the witnesses used to complain and seek sympathy are useless.
"Do you remember the "legal code - Noble Chapter" that I made? It's the legal provisions for crimes against nobles." Dany asked.
"This..." Green Graces was stunned and started to think long and hard, but after thinking about it for a while, he only remembered that there was such a law, but forgot the specific content.
"I don't remember much," she said obediently and honestly.
Dany said to the serious-looking little black girl beckons with the hand in purple cheongsam, "Missandei, come and explain to Lord Green Graces."
Missandei stared golden With big eyes, he said: "There are only two ways to arrest a nobleman in the "legal code" noble trial chapter.
First, no matter whether there is conclusive evidence, Queen or Hand of the King Anyone can declare their guilt in front of the person concerned and make an immediate arrest.
However, the Queen or the Hand of the King cannot appear as jurors in the subsequent trial process.
Second, The plaintiff provides sufficient witness and material evidence, which is legal and reasonable, and the Queen or the Hand of the King approves the arrest warrant.
The arrest warrant is held by a Minister of State to hold the criminal noble, both the Queen and the Hand of the King. Appearing on the jury."
To put it bluntly, like the judicial system in modern society, arrest (administrative) and trial (judicial) are two different institutions, Queen can automatically choose to join one of them, but It can only be one of them.
Either as a police officer (prosecutor) or as a judge, you cannot arrest people and convict them (ps).
There is no doubt that this law greatly limits the Queen's judicial power.
"Yes, I remember, that's it." Green Graces nodded again and again.
Seeing Aemon looked thoughtful, Dany explained with a smile: "My father killed Duke Stark father and son was too appalling, and I was a little underwhelmed when faced with Lady Stoneheart and Jon Snow.
In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, I have formulated a law to strictly protect the rights and interests of the nobles. Of course, there are also laws to protect the common people."
In view of the Dragon Family's ancestral heritage "Mad Blood" gene, Dany dare not engage in the arbitrary set of the Great Heavenly Dynasty emperor Gangang.
Whether it's his descendants slaughtering innocents madly, or the whole clan being wiped out because a Targaryen is too mad, she doesn't want to see it.
Of course, it is very likely that Targaryen, who awakened Mad Blood, will not take into account the "Queen Dany legal code" formulated by Dany Old Ancestor at all.
At that time, the law in "legal code — King" abolishing Mad King's throne and supporting another Targaryen ascendant came into effect.
The law is well-documented, and there are regular channels for public grievances to be vented, so her descendants will not end up in a bleak and genocide... at least the probability is reduced.
"What should I do?" Green Graces asked blankly.
Either let the Dragon Queen use the privilege and arrest Earl Butcher immediately - save time and put Cleon in jail tonight.
Or let the Dragon Queen take part in the Final Judgment. She went through the normal procedure and took down Cleon herself... Seems to be relieved too?
But Meereen and Astapor have a 1,000-kilometer sea route, and it would take four or five days if the wind was down.
In fact, this is not up to Green Graces to choose, this is the right of Dragon Queen.
"Why don't you go back and think about it? Cleon can't run anyway. I'll have Missandei write to Jon Bolton right away to monitor Cleon," Dany said.
"No, don't think about it, I'll go to Meereen and see how Cleon will face me!"
It's the old Saintess who wakes up now Come, since the Dragon Queen is going to arrest Cleon according to the "legal code", he will also be tried according to the "legal code" regulations, and I don't know how much time will be delayed.
Since the butcher can't be punished immediately, it's better to arrest him in person and fiercely taunt him in front of him.
"Don't worry, you're the Minister of State, you've attended tonight's banquet first," Dany smiled and pulled Green Graces in front of Aemon, "Come on, let me introduce you, this is the ......"
The party at night was very grand, in addition to the officers, Astapor officials, Free City sea merchants, the famous new Free Folk in the city also came to one or two hundred, and the food was also Extremely rich, unlimited supply of wine, everyone returned drunk.
"Daenys, help me with one thing." At about ten o'clock in the evening, when the guests left, Dany called little assassin to oneself's bedroom.
Well, Dany turned down her offer to be a spy in Volantis or New Ghis, leaving Yunkai with her as Hidden Guard after liberating Yunkai.
Daenys, wearing a small dark grey leather armor, came out of the shadows and asked blankly, "Are you going to kill Green Graces?"
Under the orange light, right Dany, who was lying on the desk writing a letter, froze for a moment, turned his face blankly, "What do you think?"
little girl said seriously: "When you are not here, all the Ghis people from Meereen will go there. Find Green Graces, and gradually form a small Ghis group.
Missandei believes that after Cleon is defeated, victory will further expand the Ghis group, from a group to survive into a legitimate political force in Slaver's Bay, the future More political power is bound to be demanded."
"Is that what Missandei said?" Dany was shocked.
"en. ”
The little black girl really sees the essence of the old and young from the previous dynasty.
After all, there are 200,000 to 300,000 Ghis people. They are really relieved and united. Even if they rebel, they will become part of the Dany dynasty's power structure.
Dany patted her little head and asked with a smile, "Then do you understand?"
"No need to understand," Daenys turned his head awkwardly, nasally. "I'm a sharp sword in the dark, as long as the dagger is sharp enough."
"Hehe, some things can't be solved with a dagger alone." Dany smiled and squeezed her cheek. He shoved another roll of parchment from the table into her arms before she struggled to resist, "Give this to Cleon."
