"Look at your own face. I originally thought there would be no one uglier than you, but now I realize I was wrong. The only one who can surpass you is you!"
Linn mocked Tyrion who was lying on the bed without any scruples,
The little devil has been lying in bed for three days,
The face is tied with gauze,
He was attacked by an iron guard during a chaotic battle. For no apparent reason, he was struck in the face with a sword.
Tyrion's exposed one eye glared at Linn fiercely! He also taunted,
"What are you so proud of? It's been three days, has the Prime Minister seen you?"
Linn shook his head, "Same as you, no."
Both of them were treated coldly. Two people who had made great achievements in defending King's Landing suffered the same fate.
"I'm afraid the Prime Minister doesn't have time to see me now. Although the war has been won, Joffrey is dead. The most important thing right now is the Iron Throne!"
Tyrion sighed, "Where's Stannis?"
"He left, took his ship, and thousands of soldiers back to Dragonstone Island, and took away Joffrey's head!"
"Then you are still so leisurely? Do you know your current situation?"
Lin En spread his hands, "Then what can I do?"
Tyrion looked at him and said seriously: "Since you are the only friend who comes to see me, I will give you a suggestion!"
Linn nodded and motioned for him to continue,
"Run! Run now!"
…
Linn walked out of Tyrion's residence, looked back, chuckled and got into a carriage,
After passing two intersections, get off the car and stroll on the streets of King's Landing.
Wherever he went, people bowed down and saluted. When the rebels broke through the city gate, he led his men to retake the city gate and drive the enemy out, which made all the people of King's Land grateful.
The residents of the city gradually recovered from the state of war,
Foreign enemies fled, the blockade was lifted, various supplies returned to the market, and life became stable.
At the same time, there is more news that makes people in King's Landing happy to hear that Joffrey is dead!
The king has to choose again!
"Tommen is too young!"
"Yeah, how can a kid of that age securely sit on the Iron Throne? In the end, it's not the old lion who has the final say!"
"It's not like there's only one Baratheon in King's Landing! Why must it be a child?"
"Because his grandfather is a Lannister, maybe his surname is Lannister himself, haha!"
These rumors spread in King's Landing after the war,
The source of the rumors cannot be traced, but they are getting worse and worse.
Especially people from all walks of life who have just been ruled by Joffrey, they all hope to change to a better king. Whenever people talk about this matter, Linn's name will inevitably be mentioned!
"Father! Lynn must disappear!"
Cersei opened the door to Tywin's room and said anxiously,
"There are many ways to resolve rumors, but right now, you should sit down first!"
Lord Tywin's deep magnetic voice calmed Cersei down.
She sat at Tywin's table. The waiter brought her a cup of tea and then walked out, closing the door behind her.
"After Joffrey... leaves, Tommen will be my only son! He should inherit the Iron Throne!"
Tywin nodded, "There is no doubt about it!"
Cersei felt much more at ease, "But what are the rumors outside?"
"I know what you want to do! Cersei, my daughter, the sword can make people shut up, but it can't make people want to stop!"
Tywin said, handing over a piece of paper, "The best way to deal with rumors is to turn them into jokes!"
Cersei took it doubtfully, looked at it for a few times, then stood up and exclaimed,
"The Lord of Storm's End!"
"Father, why did you give Storm's End to Linn? That bitch!"
"To whom? Tommen?"
Cersei was speechless,
That's right! Storm's End is the castle of the Baratheon family. If you don't give it to Linn, how about letting Tommen inherit it?
Besides, Storm's End is still in the hands of Stannis who died ten thousand times!
Cersei slowly sat down again, and Duke Tywin continued: "In this way, the rumors will disappear, and Tommen's bloodline will no longer be talked about. Have we lost anything?"
"We just lost a trouble, and a Storm's End that was not ours!"
Stannis has occupied Storm's End, but he is still on Dragonstone not far away with his ship, like a dagger, always at King's Landing's throat!
In the west, Robb led his troops to wreak havoc, winning consecutive battles. The current Lannister absolutely did not have the energy to deal with matters in the Stormlands.
So Linn's departure, no matter what the outcome, has reduced the trouble in King's Landing and caused new trouble for Stannis.
It can be said that for Lannister, it kills several birds with one stone!
Cersei felt that she was too immature in front of her father. Just when she was ready to say goodbye and leave,
"Your Majesty Prime Minister!" A guard came in and said after saluting,
"Lynn was assassinated! People in the city are gradually gathering together! Say, say it was the Queen Mother who ordered it..."
"How is the result?"
"Lynn was injured and the assassin was killed by him on the spot!"
After Tywin waved him out, he stared at Cersei without saying a word. The silent pressure made her panic and defend,
"I didn't do it, Father!"
Tywin ignored her, took the reward in her hand and put it on the table, muttering: "Are you hurt?"
After thinking for a moment, he changed the word "Earl" to "Duke".
"Father, why is this?" Cersei exclaimed. The difference between the words "Earl of Storm's End" and "Duke of Storm's End" is hugely different!
The territory of the Earl of Storm's End is only the city of Storm's End, but the addition of the word "Duke" means that the scope of his control is the entire Stormlands! It was also Renly's original fiefdom!
Tywin didn't think about Cersei's explanation anymore, but directly ordered: "Go and visit Linn in person and tell him the news. The formal canonization will be issued at the royal council!"
Cersei's face changed and she was about to open her mouth to object, but Tywin stopped her and continued: "By the way, let's see if he is really injured. To be honest, after seeing the battle report, I once doubted whether he was a human being? Could he be injured?
?His performance is too exaggerated!"
"Use your poor brain!"
"Which is better for him, a duke or an earl?"
No matter how reluctant she was, Cersei did not dare to disobey her father's order. After she went out, she took her guards in a carriage with the royal emblem and went to Linn's residence.
The moment she saw Lin En, she knew that this man was indeed Robert's child. He looked very much like Robert when he was young. He was just taller and stronger than Robert.
This also disgusted Cersei more and more, and she was not even willing to hide her disgust, so she was very happy when she saw Lynn with a bloody bandage on her body.
After completing the "mission", Cersei left quickly,
soon,
The Queen Mother visited the injured Lyn and said that she would do her best to support Lyn in inheriting Storm's End. News spread like wildfire.
