Chapter 254 Support the new forces, the temptation of the queen

PreviousBack to directoryNext
On this day, the raven flew to all parts of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and many people received the news of Daenerys's death.

King Robert happily held a three-day celebration.

He let Junlin enjoy himself with the people and spent his share of the gold coins he had just earned.

Countless people praised the king for his generosity.

After the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms heard the news, they also had little thoughts behind them.

Dorne, who had always been interested in the Targaryen family, had mixed feelings after hearing the news.

Even Prince Daolang, the Duke of Yangkai City, who has been coming to the throne, also sent his own brother Oberon the Red Viper to participate in the next year's tournament.

The Red Viper's full name is Oberyn Martell, and he is the younger brother of Doran Martell, Duke of Sunspear.

He was bohemian by nature and advocated freedom. He had traveled to Westeros and Essos and had numerous mistresses.

After Robert learned that the Red Viper was coming, he happily drank a few more glasses of wine and played with a few more women in the evening.

Prince Daolang has only sent a few earls here since he usurped the throne, and will not have much contact with King's Landing at other times.

Because there are too many deserts in Dorne, during the Targaryen reign, in order to rule Dorne, he sent countless armies, but unfortunately they failed many times.

A giant dragon died tragically on the way to conquer, so Robert did not dare to conquer it himself.

Prince Daolang's overtures greatly benefited Robert.

He believed that his position as king was more secure.

But he didn't know that he was on the verge of death.

Because this guy Varys and Prince Daolang are on the same team, they are going to take action.

In the original novel, during the Battle of the Usurper, Robert defeated the Targaryen Dragon Prince, and the Lannister army deceived King's Landing into a wall, and sent his henchmen to assassinate everyone in the Targaryen royal family. Little Aegon the Red Viper, who was born at that time,

His biological sister, the current Crown Princess Elia Martell, was brutally murdered by the Lannister family.

But what everyone didn't know was that Varys had already secretly replaced the Crown Princess's child, Little Aegon.

Little Aegon has been secretly protected by Targaryen's henchmen Jon Connington and others since he was born.

Because he has good blood, he took control of a golden mercenary group with tens of thousands of people shortly after his birth.

These people just want to wait until the critical moment to return to Westeros and sit on the Iron Throne again.

The Targaryens were just a smoke screen for them to attract Robert.

Also because he knew that the Targaryen brothers and sisters had no soldiers and power, and because Varys repeatedly misled intelligence, Robert did not go to great lengths to assassinate the Targaryen brothers and sisters.

But with the death of the Targaryen brothers and the growth of little Aegon, Prince Daolang of Dorne, Varys and others knew that they must bring chaos here as soon as possible.

Littlefinger, who became a semi-vegetative state, once said a famous saying: "Chaos is the ladder of ascent."

Only when Westeros is in chaos can they have a chance to welcome the Targaryen prince back to the Iron Throne.

After learning of the death of Daenerys' brother and sister, Varys directly sent a raven to contact the Prince of Dorne.

The Red Viper decided to come in person to carry out revenge and troublemaking plans.

Ten days later 1

Varys asked his little bird to bring the letter to Ed, who was inspecting the work.

After seeing the news written in the letter that they knew how their adoptive father died tragically, Ed took two guards to the secret place on the spot.

Ed didn't see Varys, but he was led to a blacksmith shop.

Then, he got an important piece of information from here!

"Lord Jon Arryn came here before he died and borrowed a book from Grand Maester Pycelle."

Ed made some inquiries and found that an adult had indeed been here a year ago.

That gentleman was very interested in illegitimate children.

Through some certified physical evidence, Ed confirmed that his adoptive father, Jon Arryn, had investigated illegitimate children many times before his death. And the mothers of these illegitimate children seemed to be related to Robert's romantic debts.

That night, Eddard found Grand Maester Pycelle and asked for a book on noble bloodlines and demographic characteristics that Jon had read before.

Half an hour later!

Pycelle writhed for a long time before regretfully saying to Ed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Prime Minister, the family and glory have been lost. I will look for it for you tomorrow!"

Ed nodded helplessly, and then dragged his tired body back to the Prime Minister's Tower.

On the other side, there is a secret conference room.

Zhang Jin came in with a few people.

Chen Mu, who was addicted to practicing "White Crane Visualization", was also awakened and participated in this secret meeting.

"Varys suddenly contacted Ed Stark today, and an investigation into the illegitimate child has begun."

"Why are you so careless? Why did Wallis suddenly become a monster?"

"It should be the person who Varys used the raven to contact Dorne a few days ago. We have been too busy these days, only focusing on teaching people to learn, and we have been a bit neglectful in monitoring."

"Confess Varys?"

"I'm just afraid of attracting the attention of these old fritters."

The people in the north haven't been trained yet, and if there is any unrest, life will be ruined.

So everyone has been delaying the outbreak of chaos!

What a pity.

"Then implement Plan C and support Stannis on the throne!"

Robert Baratheon had two brothers.

Among them, the second brother, Lord Stannis Baratheon, has his fiefdom on Dragonstone.

The third brother Renly Baratheon holds Storm's End.

The reason for choosing Stannis is simple.

In this way, they can gain the explicit support of the three Dukes of the Kingdom, the North, and the Riverlands. And as long as they control Renly, they can control Storm's End.

The Reach is very wealthy, but the old Rose of the Rose family is very cunning, but not courageous enough.

They are typical speculators.

When the general trend is determined, we will not dare to make mistakes.

But supporting the Lannister would cause big changes.

Not to mention killing Joffrey, the eternal emperor, we also have to deal with the cold-blooded and cruel Duke Tywin, the resourceful Tyrion and the brain-dead Cersei.

As for Jaime Lannister!

This guy is just a guy who loves crotch sports at the moment. This guy is not surprising.

You can support Renly, but you can't get the support of Eddard in the North.

Stannis Baratheon is an old-fashioned guy, but after investigation, he is quite easy to talk to.

At least he obeys the law and doesn't mess around!

There is only one person behind Stannis's back: Melisandre, the high priest of the Red Temple.

This woman is the most unstable factor.

However, according to their intelligence investigation, this guy has not yet appeared on Dragonstone Island.

So Chen Mu can show his miracle and destroy this demagogue~

Since there is no way to stop Eddard from investigating the illegitimate child, let's just go with the flow and let Robert, this stupid guy, die as soon as possible.

"Okay! But what about Oberyn the Red Viper?"

Chen Mu stretched himself: "Leave this matter to me, I can handle them all."

Zhang Jin shook his head: "No, Oberon can't die now, we need to keep him!"

Once Oberon dies, Dorne will be assassinated.

A living red viper is more valuable.

"Okay, I'll lock the Red Viper and his gang into a small dark room."

"agree!"

Later, Zhang Jin led a group of soldiers to stay in King's Landing to teach the workers and watch the situation change.

Chen Mu and Bian Zhuang led six soldiers of the Spring Breeze Squadron to Dragonstone Island.

They have already found a reason.

Produce obsidian weapons in large quantities on Dragonstone Island to help build the infrastructure of Dragonstone Island.

In short, it will benefit Dragonstone.

Zhang Jin put the books he had collected in the corner of the bookshelf collected by Grand Maester Pycelle, and the rest of the group began to move away.

Only a few Zhang Jin were left in King's Landing.

They met Lannister people behind their backs and pretended to express their love for the Lannister family.

At noon that day, Cersei called the sleepy Grand Maester Pycelle.

"What has Prime Minister Ed been busy with lately?"

"Reporting to the Queen, apart from being busy with the construction of King's Landing and formulating new business taxes with Tyrion, Prime Minister Eddard spends most of his time investigating matters related to illegitimate children. He also asked me for a book yesterday. I really didn't know about this book.

Why is it so eye-catching? The former Prime Minister also opened this book many times before he died of illness."

"Oh, what's the name of the book?"

""Bloods and Houses of Westeros", a book about noble bloodlines."

Cersei subconsciously grabbed the wine glass in her hand and nodded pretending to be fine: "Well, I understand. You go down!"

"As you command, Queen!"

Grand Maester Pycelle left directly.

After leaving here, the old Archmaester Pycelle wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Pycelle has already guessed that Queen Cersei's messy affairs will be revealed.

Pycelle is an old man, and if he can survive in the fox den of King's Landing, he naturally has his own way of survival.

The former Prime Minister Jon Arryn died inexplicably. When he was investigating Robert's illegitimate child before his death, he noticed something unusual.

Because he had long known about the incest between Queen Cersei and her brother Jaime.

Those three children are actually the children of the Lannister siblings!!

Seeing the death of Jon Arryn, he subconsciously believed that Cersei had done it. He was so pity for his life that he would rather be a coward than dare to participate in such a big event.

After Pycelle left, Cersei suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Damn it, I've been discovered!"

When Cersei was playing today, she learned from a servant that her child was the child of her and her brother.

She was in such a state of confusion that she quickly had her maid captured and taken to a secret prison.

After interrogation, she discovered that what the maid said was all hearsay.

After secretly executing the maid, she sent people to investigate any anomalies in King's Landing.

Only then did she discover with horror that Prime Minister Eddard was secretly investigating Robert's illegitimate children among the people.

I also know that he contacted Pycelle yesterday!

Cersei knew Pycelle's character and had a handle on Pycelle, so she quickly called the ninety-year-old SP who was still keen on visiting the women's branch.

Knowing that Eddard was collecting evidence of illegitimate children, Cersei, who had a guilty conscience, knew that the other party must have obtained some information.

"We must take the initiative and not just surrender!"

Cersei quickly wrote her father a letter of confession.

Then he sent his cousin Lancel and told him to seize the opportunity to kill Robert.

And she sent out soldiers to let people observe Ed carefully.

He wanted to see if there was anything unusual about this guy!

Cersei held a banquet and entertained Zhang Jin secretly.

After some special testing, Cersei learned that these guys were a bunch of salty fish. It was confirmed that they were not on Ed's side.

"Mr. Zhang, our Lannister family has many gold mines. I would like you to guide the expansion of production. I wonder if you have time?"

"Well, dear queen, our manpower is completely insufficient. We are really not qualified for these tasks!"

Cersei then remembered the news that only a few of these guys were still in King's Landing.

She smiled charmingly: "Well, that's a pity. Lannister is rich in all directions. We hope that you will continue to cooperate when you have time."

"Of course, my dear queen!"

Cersei held the wine glass and slowly approached Zhang Yuan: "Zhang, do you want to try the taste of the queen?"

Zhang Jin: "..."

"Isn't Zhang a man?"

Cersei picked up her golden hair and looked at Zhang Jin with contemptuous eyes.

Zhang Jin was very hesitant!

"Queen, you are married!"

"Then you saw that queen staying alone in an empty room all day long, and then painfully watching the king wandering around the women's wing every day?"

"This is indeed true, the king is indeed..."

Cersei rushed directly towards Zhang Jin.

"kiss Me!"

Zhang Jin: "..."

Hey~

Sacrificing one's life to feed a tiger is nothing more than this!

I'm doing this for the greater good!

For the sake of the overall situation.

In the following days, Zhang Jin lived a painful and happy life.

Anyway, Zhang Jin is a bachelor, and he has no psychological burden if he is in love or something.

Cersei continued to investigate after thinking that she was sleeping with a Chinese from the Eastern Kingdom.

Through the Sheriff, the Golden Robes and various informants, Cersei confirmed that Eddard had not secretly contacted them.

This puzzled the queen.

All these clues confirm one thing!

Eddard Stark did not collude with forces to overthrow the Lannister family.

"It seems that the Prime Minister doesn't know about his affairs at this moment!" Cersei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She at least had enough time to contact her iron-blooded father and calmly take a preemptive strike.

In the Prime Minister's Tower, Ed's office is brightly lit.

He was looking through the books he had borrowed from Grand Maester Pycelle.

Ed is having a rough time these days!

There are too many bad things going on these days.

First, a large number of soldiers suddenly started rioting in the Riverlands, burning, killing and looting. Some civilians came crying and complained that thieves were rampant.

He sent the Lightning King, the Red-robed Monk and others to quell the chaos.

Later, he continued to investigate how his adoptive father Jon Arryn died.

He also felt that his adoptive father died strangely.

Unfortunately, due to Chen Mu's intervention, the assassins commanded by Joffrey were directly eliminated, and no one caught Tyrion. The conflict between the Lion and the Wolf family did not break out. Ed did not feel too much tension either.

Although Eddard discovered that Robert had many bastard children among the people, the tome he obtained seemed clueless.

By the way, he also learned that Jon Arryn's bodyguard had died tragically.

"Why is Aelin reading these useless books?"

"Oops, Robert... Something happened to King Robert."

"What?"

Ed's captain of the bodyguard, Joso, hurried over and said breathlessly: "When King Robert was hunting today, he was pierced by a wild boar because he drank too much wine!"

Ed: "..."

Damn it!

He quickly put on his clothes and ran towards the Red Fort.
