Chapter 588
2021-01-06
Chapter 588 times change, come to my house this yearMargaery is in a good mood these two days, even Being left out by Igor didn't make me angry.
Because she had a hunch, the Tyrell family's 300 years of grievances are coming to an end!
In Westeros, there is a pseudo "cold knowledge" that is basically not brought to the table to discuss but in fact everyone knows - the current ruler of Reach, the Rose family, was originally named by Conqueror Aegon. Steward of the "King of Reach" House Gardener... which Targaryen slaughtered with dragon flames.
Conqueror promoted such a humble family to be the guardian of the South to take charge of Reach, just like in the background introduction, simply because: the Tyrell family opened the city gates after the "Field of Fire" battle Highgarden?
Certainly impossible.
In theory, even the phrase "the Tyrells dedicate the Highgarden" itself is untenable - even if all the male members of the House Gardener were killed by dragon flames in the war, the Highgarden should have According to the law of succession, it is passed on to other Reach nobles in a bloodline closest to the House Gardener, sorted by legal order, and the surname Tyrell will not appear in the next thousand.
Cherun girls are not your turn, and Wangfeng thinks you are not qualified.
Since the castle was not owned by the Tyrells, why did they say "Highgarden"?
But Aegon wants to turn them over and become masters.
This move, humiliating the nobles of Reach as the defeated is the direct reason, but the real purpose is: let a guy who is not worthy of morality suppress a large group of self-proclaimed "descendants of Greenhand". Reach princes, create balance.
Those Ancient Family who were at the top of the line of succession were naturally dissatisfied with the Tyrell family's superior position, but they were afraid that the opponent had House Targaryen as their backer and dared not make a second attempt, so they could only outward devotion but inner opposition; and All the authority and power of House Tyrell comes from the support of House Targaryen, and from then on, he can only hold the Dragon Family's thigh firmly, and dare not have any second thoughts.
In this way, Reach has the comprehensive strength of the strongest population in the Seven Kingdoms, but is trapped in internal friction and can never get rid of Targaryen's control, Tyrell Duke is holding the paper of Ranked 1st. Data, but you have to be the dog of House Targaryen in every life, and you will not be able to turn over for thousands of years!
Just like the Earth world that Igor came from, the sun never sets before, and Milician afterward. The world overlords of all dynasties have used the offshore balance strategy to maintain their detached position on the continent of Europe, Asia and Africa - the method itself is very simple and can be seen at a glance, But it is so rude that it cannot be cracked, but it is the real conspiracy.
The descendants of Conqueror, successive kings of Targaryen also understood this truth, and took "not letting the Tyrell family enter the center of power" as a basic national policy, and only ruled for three hundred years.
It is no coincidence that Tyrell is not home to the Queen and Prime Minister.
A decent person doesn't know how to speak eloquently!
But no matter how well-behaved a dog is, it will still have ambitions in a hundred years. How many generations of House Tyrell members have been going forward and succeeding, trying to break the iron collar around their necks, but forced by House Targaryen's staring, they dare not be too impudent, and can only cautiously bypass House Targaryen's house in some gentle ways. Clamp, curve to save the country.
This story is speaking of which, and that is another very long and complicated history.
The rise of the Tyrell family can be roughly divided into three stages.
One, try hard and don't give up.
While obediently obeying House Targaryen's command and being a good oneself watchdog, the first few generations of Tyrell's powers faced the indifference and disdain of the Seven Kingdoms nobles, shyly sent the oneself daughter and paid the price Marrying other people's girls... Relying on the same conspiracy to let family members continue to marry the ruling families and powerful princes of the other six countries, they struggled to get rid of the "steward" label, gained a firm foothold in Reach, and the decree gradually came out Highgarden, no one dares to provoke on the surface anymore.
Second, management and luck will widen the gap.
After gaining a firm foothold, the Tyrell family, using their bright minds and keen insight, took advantage of their official status as guardians of the South, and began racking their brains to accumulate all possible wealth and connections.
They pay attention to any changes in this world and even a little technological innovation, keep up with the times, while collecting grain and taxes normally, they do not hesitate to participate in industry and commerce, and gradually From a nominally small family, it has become a wealthy and tyrannical family with enough soft and hard power to compete with Oldtown Hightower, Arbor Redwyne, Brightwater Florent and other families. Finally, it can be dignified to be on an equal footing with those top nobles in any field and occasion. Instead of using House Targaryen as a shield at all times.
And then, by virtue of "wisely" choosing neutral in Dance of the Dragons (actually maybe too cowardly to stand in line, but the blind cat met the dead mouse), the strength was completely preserved The Tyrell family opened a gap with other sub-aristocrats who fought hard but didn't get any benefits, and finally succeeded in "crushing any other family with their own strength", stabilizing the position of the boss of oneself in the south.
have accumulated knowledge and deliver it slowly, try to get on stage.
Taoguang has been keeping a low profile for more than two hundred years. When it came to the father of the current Duke Mace Tyrell, that is, Queen of Thorns this generation, House Tyrell felt that oneself was finally full of wings, and after waiting enough time, it was agreed internally: start Try to squeeze into the power center and try to get to the top power stage.
In a family phrase: "No matter how slow the wheel turns, it's time for Tyrell's house."
This stage is the shortest time, but the most process. Ups and downs, it can be called a wind and rain history full of bitter tears.
＊＊＊
House Targaryen, who noticed that oneself's "dog" became restless, immediately tightened the chain and began to use various methods to suppress and control the former, Margaery's grandfather grandfather They dared not resist on the surface, so they never found an opportunity.
Time came to the Battle of the Reavers. When Little Rose's father left the Riverlands and headed for Storm's End, he felt that oneself had finally waited for his chance: Duke Mace Tyrell's army besieged Stannis under the city. I don't work hard, I actually think about raising the thief's self-respect: let the other Royalists and the snatchers' alliance fight both sides to suffer first, and when Mad King and Prince Rhaegar have no other way to ask oneself to lead the troops north to fight the fire, oneself can take advantage of the situation The lion opened his mouth to raise the conditions, even if the position of the next queen and prime minister is not booked, at least he will occupy a seat in the royal meeting... Whether it is finance or the Master of Ships, at least a historic breakthrough has been achieved.
Who would think that although the abacus is crackling, human's calculation are inferior to the heavens calculation, Rhaegar was defeated in Trident, King's Landing was stabbed in the back by old Tywin and House Targaryen was destroyed in minutes , It seems good news that the old master is gone, but the new top Robert seems to be confused but is actually shrewd. As soon as he sits on Iron Throne, he takes House Targaryen's dog chain and ties Reach to his feet.
It's hard to survive until Cersei's scandal broke out and the queen's seat is vacated, but even a young and beautiful Maiden like Margaery ran over to propose a pillow seat, and he kept hitting the wall... Later, he became confused and turned into a cowardly death of Robert and Margaery. The evil star of Renly, the murderer who poisoned Eddard Stark, and the thorn in the side of Stannis, covered in dirt battered and exhausted to the extreme.
When little Aegon Targaryen landed from the Stormlands to relaunch the House Targaryen banner, the Tyrells thought they were finally waiting.
Whoever wants to send an envoy to contact him, the queen candidate of little Aegon's dream is actually his aunt Daenerys; even the position of Prime Minister has already been given to Jon Connington, the hard-working and loyal minister.
The Tyrell family, who has no shortage of money and land, can't get the most desired position of power center, and little Aegon is also full of confidence in the marriage with Daenerys and refuses to make every effort to win over. The two sides negotiate on the alliance price. It didn't go well all the time. This is the fundamental reason why Reach supported Little Aegon on the surface, but in fact did not join forces with the Golden Regiment and camp together.
When the little Prince finally got the chance to meet Daenerys to admit his kinship, but "not only was he refused to admit bloodline, but also shocked the dragon" news came... an ordinary person like Nina. The spectators just felt it was a pity, but Margaery Tyrell was overjoyed!
These bloody gangsters!
Deserved!
Daenerys doesn't recognize Aegon Targaryen's identity, and the marriage between the two dragons is out of the question. The current situation is: Stannis' defeat is a foregone conclusion, and the two Targaryen and Prince Aegon lack one Queen, Daenerys has just died Prime Minister - whoever Reach supports is bound to win. The Tyrell family has endured for more than 300 years and finally waited for this extremely rare opportunity. The wheel of history has finally rolled to the half circle of the rose pattern!
