Chapter 161: I'm sorry, I am the hand of the king!

However, at this moment when the overall look harmonious but in fact the undercurrents surged, something happened that Gao Xianda couldn't accept.

Robert was assassinated.

Robert died neither by Cersei's betrayal nor by Little Finger's incitement, nor by Varis' conspiracy.

He was assassinated.

According to rumors, an assassin suddenly fell from the sky in public and landed beside Robert, piercing Robert's body with a torch.

Robert's whole body burned because he was too obese.

Robert's burning caused a fire, and a large number of houses and shops were ignited.

The fire burned for three days and three nights before it was extinguished, and a white land was burned in the middle of the king's land. Many people were displaced for this and turned into disaster victims.

The victims wanted to ask the king for an explanation, but the reason why they lost their homes was because of the king's death.

Although Cersei had given up the plan to assassinate Robert, she had already prepared all the matters after Robert's death. After the sudden accident, she immediately adopted an emergency plan.

She didn't think Ed Stark would let her go if she sat there.

So she took the initiative and took control of Ed and his family.

Ed had intended to send his family away when he was attacked by James. However, Robert repeatedly tried to keep him, and Cersei also expressed his desire to negotiate openly and secretly. Later, even the Lannister's army retreated from the river.

Just when Ed felt that everything was finally back on track and he could take control of everything, Cersei slashed him hard behind him.

Cersei's younger brother Tyrion suddenly appeared in King's Landing City with thousands of savages as if they could fly.

Even the golden robe of the capital guards was not their opponent.

The guard captain Slint was not a person who valued principles and honors. When facing these savages, Tyrion put some pressure on him and promised power and the golden dragon. Slint quickly turned against him.

The entire king's land was controlled in an orderly manner in the hands of the Lannister family.

Sansa and Arya were both controlled by Cersei, and none of them escaped. Then Cersei used the lives of Ed's two girls to force Ed to admit treason and allowed him to wear black clothes.

All this seems to have returned to the normal plot of "Song of Ice and Fire".

Ed knew he had failed.

Honor and mercy were shattered before spears and swords.

Ed finally lowered his noble head and admitted his treason in the square in front of the church.

Fortunately, Joffrey is dead.

Toman inherited the throne as Robert's only "son".

Compared to Joffrey, he is much more kind and obedient.

He did not have a sudden idea of ​​letting Ed cut off Ed's head. In fact, Tyrion, a person with an IQ online, could not do anything out of the ordinary even if Jofry was still alive.

Cersei was pregnant with Rocca at this time. If it weren't for Tyrion's sudden appearance, she might not even be Ed's opponent.

After all, an elderly pregnant woman was suddenly stimulated and it was possible to have an abortion. When she recovered, the daylily would be cold.

But Tyrion held the situation under control.

So Ed obediently put on black and was sent to the Great Wall of Desperation. His son Robb inherited the title of Duke of Winterfell, if he was willing to continue to surrender to the Iron Throne.

But he has no right to rebel.

Treason is a serious crime. Ed's trip to the Great Wall of Desperate is already full of kindness. The slogan of avenging his father does not exist, while his two sisters are hostages in Cersei's hands.

Therefore, people in the northern border did not dare to rebel, and the entire country fell into Lannister's hands.

All this happened very quickly. When Gao Xianda heard the news, Ed was already wearing black clothes and embarked on the road to the Great Wall of Desperate.

He is a person who values ​​honor. Since he agrees to wear black clothes, he will never regret it. The Great Wall of Desperate is also in great need of Stark to take charge.

A noble lord, a Stark, and even the current commander-in-chief of the Black, Murmont, must obey his command.

This is not a good thing for this person who is not good at politics.

But Gao Xianda is inevitably a little unhappy.

Chen Bali actually killed his brother!

Moreover, he had already discussed with Cersei that the future person who sat on the Iron Throne must be the black-haired Baratheon, but Cersei and his children were not born.

Cersei can't invite Stannis back, right?

However, Cersei was still very afraid of Gao Xianda. After all, Gao Xianda could take her and her children's lives at any time.

So she actually took the initiative to invite Gao Xianda back to King's Land to be the king's hand.

When the king was young, the King's Hand had absolute power. Logically speaking, this position should be left to Tywin Lannister.

The Lannister's army and Tywin's political skills ensured that they would control the Iron Throne for a long time.

But Cersei was afraid.

And to a certain extent, the closer Cersei was to give birth, the more she missed the child’s real father…

For Tywin himself, this incident is of course a betrayal!

So Tywin sent troops again and led the Lannister's troops toward Junlin.

And now the one who really controls power in the city is actually Tyrion, who controls thousands of savages and the capital guards.

Tyrion and Cersei have always had a bad relationship because he is a dwarf and has never felt the warmth of his sister since he was a child.

From his perspective, he certainly hoped that his father could come to King's Landing to control the situation, so that James could return to the ranks of the Royal Guards, and then he would go back to inherit Kaiyan City.

But because he is a dwarf, Tywin does not intend to let him inherit Kaiyan City.

At the same time, Stannis on Dragonstone Island finally couldn't sit still.

He has always believed that Joffrey, Toman and Messerra were evil products of Cersei's incest, and neither of them was qualified to inherit Robert's throne.

According to legal principles, he is the real king!

So he wrote a letter to Gao Xianda, hoping that Gao Xianda would summon his vassals, support him to become king, and raise an army to capture the king's land.

Gao Xianda could only reply to him: "Brother, don't make trouble, do you have any evidence? Don't tell me about hair color. Isn't your Celine also flax-colored hair? By the way, there is one of the most important things. Now Cersei invites me to be the king's hand, goodbye!"

Toman is still a child, while Stannis is a mature adult. Even if he gives Gao Xianda a king's hand, his value is completely incomparable to Cersei's invitation!

So Stannis could only get angry secretly, then summoned the vassals and raised an army alone.

Although the political situation of King Lin seemed to have stabilized, it was actually undercurrents and even more chaotic.
