Chapter 637
Cersei was just and honourable, dignified in the Margaery trial, and even dared to pull High Sparrow into the jury.
Because Tyrell committed four layers of sins of betrayal of the divine marriage covenant, violation of guest right, king murder, and husband murder.
Four counts, but only because of one person, Great Emperor Joffrey.
Great Emperor Jof's Purple Wedding, and Robb's Red Wedding are two of the most famous "color" marriages in Game of Thrones.
In a sense, Great Emperor Jof's Purple Wedding has more impact on the plot than Robb's Red Wedding.
Think about Tywin and Tyrion, if they stay in King's Landing and take control, what's up with the others?
Robb's wedding was "red" because so many people died that day, and blood was the main color of the wedding scene; Joffrey's wedding was "purple", mainly because Sansa wore purple crystals that day Hairnet, and the poison is hidden in an amethyst in the hairnet.
Sansa is an innocent drug mule, she doesn't know what oneself does, the hairnet and the poison in the hairnet are all created by Littlefinger.
When Sansa brought the poison into the wedding scene, Old Rose took the opportunity to help her with her hair, took the poison off, and put it into Margaery's hands silently.
In other words, Margaery poisoned oneself's kissing husband!
The gold cup that Joffrey drank in was the wedding cup shared by King and the Queen. Only Margaery himself could ensure that oneself would not miss the second car.
At the marriage scene (finished the wedding, got the Little Red book), the new mother kills the groom, violates the sacred marriage contract, and kills the husband.
Old Rose is the guest, the Great Emperor Jof is the master, the guest kills the master, violating the guest right.
The Great Emperor Jof is the king, Tyrell is the minister, and the crime of murdering the king cannot escape.
Such a crime, Cersei and Iron Throne had every reason to take action on Highgarden.
Randyll Tarly is still Master of Laws -- Justice of Seven Kingdoms. Being able to choose neutrality and not helping each other, he has done his duty as Tyrell's bannermen.
As for why Margaery confessed to this horrific crime...
Cersei always "knew" that Imp killed Joffrey and Tywin, and that Imp's patron It's Highgarden.
Uh, it was a coincidence.
After arresting Little Rose, Cersei asked the "Magic Maester" Qyburn to interrogate the matter, and Little Rose learned that Highgarden was "destroyed", and Cersei "wisely" guessed the truth, and then With a revenge mentality, using the murder of Joffrey to hit the poor mother who lost her son - hearing the truth, Cersei really cried at that time.
After all, this is still Varys' pot!
Varys has at least two identities in the Red Keep, the Master of Whisperers "The Spider" on the surface; and the dark Red Keep guard, Rugen.
Don't think Rugen is a temporary status, Varys has been playing the role for over two decades.
Don't underestimate the position of the head of the Red Keep.
The black jail is empty most of the time all year round. It only holds the most sinful or people with special status, similar to the imperial prison of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the Ming Dynasty.
Dany's darlings Jaqen, Eddard Stark, Grand Maester Pycelle, Tyrion have all squatted in Rugen's number.
The night Tyrion escaped and absconded, Rugen also disappeared, and Cersei found a rare cheat coin in Rugen's bedroom - a gold coin with a palm as an emblem, representing Garth Greenhand, the ancient coin of Reach.
At this point, Cersei, who had suspected Tyrell behind the scenes, completely "cleared the comprehension" of the whole sequence of events: the little monkey is the knife, and Tyrell is the man behind the scenes.
This was also one of the triggers for Cersei to sue Church against Margaery for treason and adultery.
To be honest, Cersei was stunned when he learned that the death of the Great Emperor Jof had nothing to do with the dwarf younger brother.
——I have hated you for so long and so deeply, so you will show me this?
Perhaps since the resurrection of High Sparrow, the reason for praying to Mother every day is really, for a moment, Cersei confessed to Mother: Is oneself too harsh on the young brother of the demon monkey?
But the next moment, Cersei threw Mother into the distant Slaver's Bay, gnashing teeth, Yu Rong twisted: "That little devil monkey who should go to Seven Hells is helping the fake Aegon usurp my throne, how can you hate it? He's not too much.
No, I'm going to curse him 10,000 times a day in front of Mother's statue!"
I have to say, Cersei this move hits right, and the effect is very good .
First, Randyll Tarly was appeased.
Then, at the suggestion of Daven's cousin, Cersei held the "King's Landing great trial", inviting representatives of many nobles and commoners as jurors, The Seven Devout (not High Sparrow) as the justice, openly. Tried Tyrell for the murder of Great Emperor Jof.
The Great Emperor Jof, who loves the people like a son and is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, is very unpopular, and the King's Landing people give him the nickname "Mad King II", that's right.
But no matter how bad the Great Emperor Jof was, he was an innocent victim at Purple Wedding.
Beautiful, kind, and kind, Margaery is very popular with King's Landing people, and it's true that King's Landing people give away the "Mother Rose."
But no matter how good she is, her crime in Purple Wedding is so terrible to see that normal people can't accept it.
Margaery's reputation is so bad, she's a realm with her mother-in-law Cersei.
Tyrell also suddenly went from being a victim of the "Reach Change" to a sinner who deserved retribution.
Public opinion didn't change in an instant, but it was no longer in Tyrell's favor.
——This is the Church trial that even Saint Sparrow approves!
After that, Cersei's operation became even more irritating. She announced on the Small Council: Highgarden Tyrell is extremely sinful, but Margaery is King Tommen's legal wife and Highgarden's only heir. The Lamb Margaery bestows his mercy.
Absolve him of the death penalty, until King Tommen comes of age and bears a joint heir to Iron Throne and Highgarden with him, just under Septa's watch, Refuge | Ladies' House, daily devotion to The Seven , repent of past sins.
During this period, Iron Throne will temporarily replace Margaery's rule over Reach, that is, Cersei has a "Southern Guardian" hat on his head and a "Reach Duke" hat on his hand. scepter.
Well, Lord Puff Fish has three sons and one daughter, Willas and Garlan died in Shield Islands, Loras swore to become White Cloak, Puff Fish was executed in secret, Margaery is really Highgarden Tyrell's only heir.
Does it feel familiar?
This is what Tywin did with Sansa and Stark!
In any case, this statement from Iron Throne barely appeased the irascible Reach princes.
—Tyrell did murder the Great Emperor Jof, Iron Throne also acknowledged Tyrell's rule over Highgarden, and Euron's army of 20,000 Ironmen went deep into the Reach hinterland, deterring it.
Iron Throne has righteousness, benevolence, and martial power—the most important thing, but Reach is empty of troops and loses its leader.
——Tyrell was almost wiped out, the Arbor fleet was destroyed, Hightower didn't say it, in fact it is known that they took refuge in the Dragon Queen, Tarly became the Hand of the King, and Florent simply waved the flag for Iron Throne.
Reach highest's Five Great Families are all useless, what if the other little princes are not stable?
Take Highgarden, take control of Reach, and have food in Iron Throne's hands.
For King's Landing troublemakers, whoever can stabilize the price and keep them from starving to death is the Mother... I heard that a new small Sept has been opened in the palace of the Queen Mother Maegor's Holdfast. Specially dedicated to the Mother statue, and the bitch queen mother will be in the Mother statue three times a day before recently, seems to be the "Mother bitch" queen mother?
Well, Mother bitch is also Mother...
King's Landing stabilized.
Of course, under the calm and tranquil surface, undercurrents are indispensable.
For example, Aegon, dubbed the "pseudo Crown Prince" by the King's Landing folks.
Aegon's letter and "True Dragon Alliance" manifesto have spread, but his reputation has not been very good.
Or rather, few really believed in his identity as Rhaegar's child.
Indeed, everyone in King's Landing knows: Rhaegar's child fell on the wall and became a puddle of meat.
However, Aegon's attitude doesn't affect Aegon.
The establishment of the marriage of Sansa and the True Dragon Alliance is more convincing to the nobility than the uncertain identity of "Rhaegar's child", because it represents strength and five of the seven Dukes - North, Riverlands, Vale, Stormlands, Dorne, recognized Aegon's True Dragon identity.
There are as many princes as crossing river carp who secretly wrote to True Dragon to acknowledge allegiance recently.
Aegon is high-spirited and vigorous, and finally has the feeling of being king.
Well, he is so happy now that he is getting married.
Today!
The wedding took place in Eyrie.
Aegon, Sansa and even Littlefinger and other ministers originally planned to hold the wedding banquet at Dragonstone in the presence of the Dragon Queen.
But knowing that Dragon Queen just went to Sothoryos and was busy training Wyrmrider battallion (Dany's excuse), everyone could only regretfully give up Dragonstone.
After all, Dragonstone is Dragon Queen's Fiefdom, nothing to do with Aegon, his current Fiefdom is Storm's End.
Optional Storm's End, not as good as Eyrie, because Vale has the most bannermen in Aegon.
Like Red Wedding, Edmure Tully is going to House Frey for a marriage.
However, the wedding was not held at Eyrie, but at Gates of the Moon at the foot of Mount Eyrie.
Eyrie is built on the top of the largest mountain in Vale - Giant's Lance. Listening to the name "Giant's Lance", you can understand how steep the mountain is, like a long spear inserted in Vale.
So Eyrie is very important, but it is not big, it can only accommodate 500 people, and, winter has come, the weather is suddenly cold.
Well, can you imagine what it's like to live on top of a mountain in winter?
It won't be enjoyment anyway.
The Gates of the Moon at the foot of Giant's Lance is huge. Although it belongs to House Royce's home, every winter, Arryn on Eyrie will go down to the Gates of the Moon to avoid freezing.
In addition, the Royce family and Stark are still relatives "eight hundred years ago".
A sister of Eddard's grandfather who was married to Gates of the Moon.
When Robb set up the "King in the North Heir Will", Catelyn was firmly opposed to letting Jon become the crown prince. Instead, he suggested that his son choose a bloodline from the Royce family as the heir -- WOW! ? !
This shows how much Catelyn hates and is stupid.
Well, digressed.
And another great reason: Gates of the Moon was built with the Great Sept!
King's wedding must take place on the Great Sept, in the witness and blessing of The Seven.
