Game of Thrones: Catastrophe

The struggle for power is becoming increasingly brutal, but it is precisely in this struggle for power that a new kingdom is emerging.

Even though Leonor constantly invest resources into the construction of the kingdom's grassroots organizations, his kingdom's wealth has only increased, because after the grassroots organizations took shape, his policies were effectively implemented.

Leonor previously implemented many tax exemption policies, and most civilians still have sufficient wealth in their hands.

After the monks and nuns sank to the grassroots level, they immediately levied these money in the name of donation, tithe, etc., plus the wealth originally accumulated by the church, the Red Fort's originally nearly exhausted treasury was immediately replenished.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye, and time came to 305 AC(After Conquest), Leonor's eldest daughter, Vivian, just passed her 4th naming day, she can already speak fluently, can walk and eat by herself, showing intelligence beyond her peers, and her mother, Margaret, is pregnant again.

Margaret now insists on praying to all the gods, including the Seven Gods and the Old Gods, in the Godwood Forest of the Red Fort every day, praying that she will give birth to a healthy kingdom heir.

Namelia on the other side did not get pregnant again, but she carefully took care of her son Baylor, and begged her father Oberon to teach him martial arts knowledge, so that he could show extraordinary intelligence, so as to gain his father's love.

Leonor was a little disdainful of Margaret's behavior, and rolled his eyes at Namelia. Baylor is only two years old. Even a two-year-old child, even if he is a time-traveler, cannot learn martial arts. At most, he can only learn to speak.

Leonor was a little worried. There were undercurrents in his harem, and the outside of the dynasty was also unstable. It is said that the Stark family in the North sent people to Braavos to contact Stannis, with the intention of supporting him to make a comeback.

Across the Narrow Sea in Essos, Daenerys accepted her nephew Aegon VI and Tyrion Lannister in Slaver's Bay, and her power grew stronger. She began to vigorously suppress the slave owners.

Tyrion is a smart man. He learned Leonor's approach in Meereen in Slaver's Bay, engaged in land privatization and equal land distribution, allowing slaves and civilians to own their own land. While liberating productivity and stimulating commerce, he recruited craftsmen to build ships that could cross the sea, preparing to return to Westeros.

As a modern person, Leonor also hates slavery, and he agrees with Daenerys' behavior, so he sent his secret agent to add fuel to Slaver's Bay.

He funded some slaves in Slaver's Bay, and let them go to the neighboring Volantis, Norvos, Qohor and other places to organize liberation movements, which made the noble priests of the slave-owning trade city-states Volantis, Norvos, Qohor very frustrated, and deepened their guard against the Queen of Meereen, leading to constant friction between the countries.

Leonor not only used Daenerys' abolition movement to provoke friction between her and the nearby trade city-states, but also instructed secret agents to spread rumors to the Dothraki, Qarth, Ibbenese, Volantis, Norvos and Qohor people.

The secret agents told the Dothraki that Daenerys called herself "Khaleesi of the Dothraki Sea" and that she would conquer the entire Dothraki Sea, leading all Dothraki screamers across the Black Salt Sea.

The secret agents told the people of Qarth, Ibben, Volantis, Norvos, and Qohor that Daenerys was a descendant of the Valyrians, and that she brought dragons back to the world to revive the Targaryen dynasty. To this end, she built a large number of ships, and sooner or later she would लूट the trade city-states, and then rebuild the ancient Valyrian Empire, bringing Volantis, Norvos, and Qohor back under control.

With the spread of various rumors, Daenerys' Meereen had increasingly bad relations with the surrounding trade city-states, and some Dothraki tribes gathered near Slaver's Bay, frequently plundering Astapor and Yunkai, destroying the trade routes between Meereen and Volantis, which made Daenerys, Aegon VI and Tyrion difficult to cope with, and shipbuilding activities were stagnated.

"Haha, Vincent, your secret agents are very good, tell them that I am very satisfied with their actions and that they should be rewarded." Leonor received the information from Essos and felt extremely happy. What if you, Daenerys, have dragons? Can it be better than my superior strategy?

"This is all thanks to your Majesty's good planning." Vincent was also sincerely convinced. His secret agents were just executors. In the final analysis, it was His Majesty's excellent strategy that truly determined victory thousands of miles away.

"Okay, okay, don't say these polite words. Your secret agents are excellent. Tell them to find or cultivate excellent successors, and then return to Westeros. I need capable people like them." Leonor waved his hand with a smile and promised a reward. This group of talents can just fill the gap in his diplomacy.

"Then I thank your Majesty for them." Vincent quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Okay, next, let's go to the Prime Minister's Tower for a meeting!" Leonor nodded and got up to let Vincent and Dorrett go to the Prime Minister's Tower with him.

Inside the Prime Minister's Tower, the Hand of the King Mace Tyrell and Grand Knight Barristan had already led the ministers to wait.

Now Leonor's Nine Great Ministers, except for the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Etiquette who have not been in place, the other seven have all been in place, including the Minister of Agriculture 唐纳·诺依(唐纳·诺依: Donner Noy), the Minister of Finance Akai, the Minister of Law Agassi, the Minister of Military Affairs Gradan, the Minister of Taxation Marseille, plus the garrison commander Dorrett, the Minister of Intelligence Vincent, and others such as the King's Landing City Manager Davos, the Seven Elders of the Church, etc. are also subordinate ministers.

Seeing the hall full of ministers, Leonor also had a sense of accomplishment. Under their gaze, he walked up to the high place and sat down, and then waved his hand directly.

"Come on! Let's start our meeting today!"

Over the past few years, the ministers have become accustomed to Leonor's style. According to the already familiar meeting process, the ministers began to prepare to report on their work one by one, and the scribes arranged by the recorder Steven also spread out their paper and pens to prepare for the meeting minutes.

"Your Majesty, the Hightower family of the Arbor has been wiped out by us three days ago, and Baylor Hightower has surrendered to us." Mace jumped out to report the results as soon as possible.

"Good." Leonor responded plainly, the Tyrell family used more than 10,000 troops, and it took two years to fight Hightower with land and sea. They are really weak.

"Your Majesty, Baylor Hightower of the Hightower family surrendered to us and proposed a trial by the Seven Gods." Mace carefully raised his head and mentioned something.

"He wants a trial by combat, you can give him a trial by combat. Hightower has always been your vassal, do you still need to ask me?" Leonor snorted coldly. The trial by combat is to determine victory by martial combat. The Tyrell family intends to let him challenge himself, is this to assassinate himself by martial arts?

"Hightower's behavior is treasonous, they don't deserve justice presided over by the Seven Gods, I have decided to execute them." Mace quickly lowered his head.

"You can decide for yourself, the kingdom does not interfere in the affairs of the Reach, next item on the agenda." Leonor announced the next item on the agenda with a cold face.
