In fact, in the entire King's Landing, except for Robert who didn't know that he was a cuckold, the rest of the people knew everything they should know, and there was no need to know what they shouldn't know.
Even if Ned doesn't tell, Robert will know sooner or later.
The little finger is the stick that is easiest to poke through the window paper.
When Robert returns to King's Landing, the first thing he has to deal with is Littlefinger. This is the number one in Gao Bin's heart. If this troublemaker is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles.
The most important thing is that this troublemaker is still obsessed with Caitlin, and just because of this, he cannot be spared.
After all, Gao Bin wants to find a way to keep Ned. If he were alive, would he allow others to covet his wife so much?
Littlefinger was born into a small aristocratic family on the Five Fingers Peninsula, and was sent to the noble Tully family as an adopted son.
He spent his childhood and half of his youth at Riverrun with Catelyn and Lysa Tully.
During this time, he developed feelings for Caitlin.
Then tragedy happened.
The cunning Rickard Stark and Hoster Tully hit it off and decided to marry their eldest son Brandon Stark and their eldest daughter Catelyn Tully.
The love that Littlefinger was looking forward to came to nothing because of these big guys "Game of Thrones".
In order to win back Caitlin, Littlefinger challenges Brandon Stark, who has the blood of a running wolf and is known for his ferocity.
Because of his small stature and Brandon being much older, he was almost killed. Finally, Caitlin thought of her old relationship and persuaded Brandon to let him live.
Then, Lysa, who had a crush on Littlefinger, secretly gave her body to comfort him who was physically and mentally injured.
From then on, Littlefinger's lifelong goal was to destroy the Stark family and ascend to the pinnacle of power. This was to commemorate his dead love, and it was also the competitive instinct inspired by his humble background.
He killed Jon Arryn. On the surface, he was working as a pawn for the Lannister family. In fact, it was his own plan to kill two birds with one stone in order to completely control Lysa Tully and take the opportunity to flatter the Lannister family. p>
Controlling Lysa Tully means controlling the Vale and controlling the East.
So this is also the reason why Stark did not get support from the valley during the War of Five Kings.
The reason for killing Ned Stark is very simple, because they considered each other to be love rivals, and Ned looked down on Littlefinger and treated him with contempt.
Littlefinger pretended to help Catelyn's husband, but in fact he had both sides, provoking unwarranted conflicts between the Stark and Lannister families, which eventually evolved into a coup and even a war, and finally succeeded in destroying the Stark family.
For Sansa Stark, Littlefinger has very complicated feelings for her.
On the one hand, she is possessive, but on the other hand, she is really taking advantage of her noble bloodline.
After the War of the Five Kings, the Stark family was destroyed, and Littlefinger planned to take Sansa out of King's Landing and take advantage of the opportunity to seize the North after reaching the bottom of the valley.
At this time, he broke away from the central government and took the real power of the valley into his hands.
So when Lysa and Sansa had a conflict, he did not hesitate to kill the former.
As long as Sansa serves as his puppet, then he will be justified in seizing the North.
He serves as regent, allowing Sansa to inherit the throne.
As for why he doesn't become the boss himself, on the one hand, he has no heirs. Even if he successfully captures the northern border and the valley in the future, he will not have time to consolidate his rule.
On the other hand, he has experienced hundreds of battles in the center of power and has seen a lot. He knows that everything rises and falls. Reaching the pinnacle of power and conquering the world is not a long-term solution. Instead, it will lead to the destruction of the family due to disputes - it is Tange
The fate of the Leans and Baratheons.
His intention in training Sansa was to make Kate's daughter his real daughter and completely rewrite the Stark bloodline spiritually.
Littlefinger works so hard to create chaos and wait for opportunities to create hegemony. On the one hand, he can become a prosperous person and shout out to those who once looked down on him: Thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river. Don’t bully young people into poverty.
On the other hand, he is also looking for a sustenance for his love.
Over the years, he has long forgotten what love is. The only thing he has not forgotten is the humiliation and anger.
He wants to teach these proud nobles a lesson: Princes, generals, and ministers should have the right kind!
His IQ is not low, and his EQ is particularly high. Although his methods are despicable, he is able to survive the turbulent palace struggles and is quite comfortable;
He has a thorough understanding of human nature, a keen sense of smell, and an innate talent for money and trade. He was able to open the largest chain of women's branches in King's Landing City through his own efforts.
The intelligence system of Varys the Eight-clawed Spider;
He joins forces vertically and horizontally, both offensively and defensively, and knows how to adjust his allegiance at the right time. He can always find his own way forward in a chaotic situation, relying on or even using the power of others again and again to achieve the goals he wants.
;
What is particularly valuable is that although he came from a humble background, he did not give up on himself. He built his strength from scratch and worked hard to start a business.
In an era when aristocratic blood was popular, he won the title of Duke of Harrenhal, gained real power in the Riverlands, and later included the Arryn Valley, which can be described as an inspirational role model for common people.
From promoting the alliance between the Lannister family and the Tyrell family, to joining forces with Old Rose to kill Joffrey.
From pushing Lysa, who was obsessed with him, through the moon gate, to selling Sansa to little Ramsay, Littlefinger calculated every step and planned carefully, making him one of the top traders in the Seven Kingdoms.
He has a cunning and treacherous mind and an extremely pragmatic character. He is good at power and understands conspiracy. He shows his true nature as a traitor when he advances and retreats. In addition, he has ambitions that are greater than his intelligence. He is indeed very good at the game of power.
People.
It's a pity that such people have ulterior motives and are destined not to be used by anyone.
Moreover, his methods are too despicable and cannot satisfy Gao Bin's taste.
To use him and Cersei, these two people must strike first. Without these two troublemakers, the rest of the game will be much easier.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But how to kill him is a problem. Ned has been communicating with Gao Bin through letters. The two of them have also mentioned the plan to get rid of Littlefinger many times in their letters, but they are not perfect.
Finally, Gao Bin thought of a way to kill two birds with one stone.
Let Robert know about Cersei's affair with Jaime, and also let him know that Littlefinger plays a disgraceful role in it, such as not reporting the information, secretly using it to gain value, etc.
As long as Robert is angry, Littlefinger will surely die!
As for Cersei, with Tywin here, the chance of her death is low. What's more, Jaime is still Tywin's favorite heir, and nothing can happen to the two of them.
After deciding on the action plan, Ned found Robert immediately and the two talked secretly for two hours. No one knew what they talked about. They only knew that Robert started a fire and smashed everything in the camp. After returning to King's Landing, Robert never saw Cersei again, and he couldn't even mention her name in front of him. Whenever he mentioned it, he wanted to kill someone.
Ned gradually took over the government affairs, and at the same time, he also launched an investigation into Joffrey's life experience.
Originally, he was surprised that everyone in the Baratheon family had black hair, so why did Joffrey become blond in his generation?
Of course, it can be understood that she followed her mother's hair color. After all, Cersei has beautiful blond hair.
Even though he was far in the north, he noticed that something was wrong, but Robert didn't notice it?
Well, that was before, but now he is suspicious of everything he looks at.
Robert wasn't stupid, he just didn't think much about it because his mind wasn't here.
There is no emotion between him and Cersei, just pure lust.
Robert did not raise the army to seize power, but because Rhaegar stole his beloved fiancée, and there were rumors that Rhaegar had raped her, and even tortured her to death in the end.
Robert just wanted a simple revenge at first, but in the end due to the deterioration of the situation (the death of his fiancée), it inevitably evolved into the collapse of the Targaryen regime.
But the entire continent needs a king, and the teams that win the final victory will eventually need someone to sit on the Iron Throne.
Who is suitable? In fact, the decision was made before the attack on King's Landing. Ned's temper must have given in, so why not let Robert, the initiator of the entire uprising, do it?
But Robert was a great warrior rather than a great statesman.
Moreover, he still failed to save his fiancée's life after all his battles.
Robert, who has ascended the Iron Throne, is actually dead in his heart. He has been immersed in the memory of his fiancée. Coupled with his own prejudice against the Lannister family, his relationship with Cersei is almost like treating her as bedding. p>
Sowing seeds and then producing children, in Robert's eyes, this is what Cersei does.
Robert used wine and meat to destroy himself from a handsome and mighty young warrior to a fat middle-aged crisis patient.
When Aylin's adoptive father and mentor suddenly died of illness, he did not delve into the cause of his death or think about the suddenness of it. He just accepted it as a fact, and then thought about who should take over.
Of course only one person is suitable.
Similarly, when he looked at the three children, he just thought that they were born from Cersei and inherited his mother's blond hair. Then he thought of Lannister from the blond hair, and then he felt sick and reached for the wine glass again.
Anesthetize yourself.
He once complained to Ned that he was surrounded by a bunch of blond hair, Lannister's blond hair, and the three children were one of them in his eyes.
He didn't care or care, he only thought about his only beloved girl who had been dead for many years.
In the original play, when Robert was about to die, he drove the others away and left Ned alone to make his will. This section in the original work is almost exactly the same as in the play.
Robert told Ned that he wanted to do the right thing before he died and pass the throne to the legal heir, his eldest son. He asked Ned to be the regent until the eldest son came of age.
In his heart, he always recognized the three children as his own. He never considered the issue of hair color because he never cared about it and no one fanned the flames in his ears.
For a person whose grief is greater than his grief, the will written by Robert before his death also shows that he is not low-intelligence, he just didn't think much about it.
However, if you want to clean up the mess in front of you, letting him know is inevitable.
However, Ned could not open his mouth, so he diverted his attention by saying, "Look for evidence first", so as not to accidentally spill the beans.
Without psychological preparation, what would a furious Robert do? Ned didn't dare to think about it.
According to his nature, he would strangle Cersei to death on the bed, and trigger a series of tragedies.
For example, the grief-stricken Kingslayer would challenge Robert without thinking, and was tortured by Barristan until he was left with no blood.
Then Robert waved his hand, and in order to pacify the old lion, he would probably banish the regicide to the Great Wall. The poor children would be deprived of the Baratheon surname as illegitimate children, and given away as adopted sons to spend their entire lives.
As for Tywin, the old lion, when he woke up and opened his eyes, he was very angry to find that he only had a dwarf son left...
While Ned was conducting verification, someone came to him first.
It is Robert's brother, Stannis, a tragic figure through and through.
The reason why he went to Ned was also very simple. He first suspected Joffrey's bloodline, and then went to verify it with Jon Arryn. As a result, Arryn was killed. Now he is very worried and wants to run away.
This person can be said to be a completely tragic figure.
Stannis Baratheon, Duke of Dragonstone, is favored by the gods and is the legal heir to the Iron Throne and the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.
He was born with broad shoulders, strong limbs, a tight face, and his skin was as hard as iron after being exposed to the scorching sun for a long time.
"Perseverance" is the word most often used to describe Stannis, and he certainly lives up to his name.
Although he is not yet thirty-five years old, there is only a row of thin black hair left on his head, like the shadow of a crown, surrounding his ears.
His brother, Robert, grew a beard in the last years of his life.
Stannis also trimmed his beard short and neatly, like a blue-black shadow, covering his square chin and the hollow cheekbones on both cheeks, as if to express his response.
Under a pair of thick eyebrows, his eyes are like two wounds, as dark blue as the night ocean.
No matter how funny the jester is, it will be in vain when he encounters his mouth. It is a mouth that is born to associate with frowns, angry faces and harsh words. It is pale, thin and tight. It has long forgotten how to smile, let alone how to smile.
What is joy?
When Stannis was young, he saw his parents die in a shipwreck. Since then, Stannis no longer believes in any gods.
After desperately holding on to Storm's End, the old man turned around and gave it to his younger brother Renly, but gave him the desolate Dragonstone Island.
During the wedding, Robert slept with his wife's cousin on his wedding bed, producing an illegitimate son, Edric Storm, while Stannis got a bearded wife and a greyscale daughter.
Under the guidance of Melisandre, he believed that he was the prophesied prince and shouldered the important task of saving the world.
Renly, who was killed by a shadow when King's Landing was about to be breached, appeared in front of the enemy's formation. The vassals and soldiers of Storm's End instantly rebelled and had to flee Dragonstone.
Stannis has lived in the shadow of his handsome and brave eldest brother all his life. He is almost forty years old and still thinks about what people will do if it is Robert.
The prince in the prophecy is either Jon Snow who is destined to resurrect from the dead or Daenerys across the strait. It is definitely not Stannis who fights against the White Walkers and saves the world.
Since he is only one year younger than Robert, Stannis's "second son personality" is extremely typical.
For a mere period of time, it was like an insurmountable chasm, isolating Stannis from another world.
"The boy who always stands in the cold shadow, watching the sun shine on his brother...
No matter what he did, Robert was always one step ahead and did it better."
What's even worse is that because they are similar in age, he will be compared with Robert at any time.
The pressure from the eldest brother is always a hurdle that the younger sons must overcome.
This kind of pressure has been with them since they were sensible.
Every second son must find a way to make peace with this pressure, or one day he will completely collapse.
It was this kind of pressure that caused the young Stannis to lose the ability to laugh - "he had long forgotten how to smile, let alone what it means to be happy", and it also made the middle-aged Duke of Dragonstone prematurely bald.
"Chivalry" was originally a good medicine to treat "second son anxiety", but just like the three brothers of the Lion family, Stannis is not an idealist like Ned.
He is too realistic and sober, and is naturally immune to any illusory pursuit.
But in the end, he also found a way to free himself, and the name of that road was "Order".
I don’t know when, Stannis Baratheon became the most loyal defender of the patriarchal system—later extended to all laws of gods and humans.
"Robert is the eldest son, and it is natural for him to take over everything. After him, it will be my turn." Erlu hypnotized himself in this way, and also tried to instill his ideas in everyone around him.
Because only in this way can he cover up the fact that he cannot face directly: he cannot keep up with Robert in almost any way!
"It's not me, but who made Robert the eldest son? He must win."
This is the subtext of Stannis, which is similar to Victarion's "It's not that I'm afraid of the crow's eye, but that I can't kill my kin."
When Robert was alive, the "order" that Erlu insisted on was enough to give him inner peace, but after his elder brother passed away, he knew that this Joffrey was not his brother's blood, and he could only achieve it by emphasizing order and law even more desperately.
Forcing people to follow his banner.
"The Iron Throne should belong to me, but how do I get it? There are four kings in the country. The other three are richer than me and have more troops than me. I only have ships in my hands... This is not a question of whether to take it or not.
As Robert's heir, the throne is mine. It's the law."
Poor Stannis, who was born without the charisma of Robert and Renly?
Despite possessing most of the flaws of the second son's personality, Stannis still stubbornly grew into a highly competitive leader in troubled times.
Compared with other competitors, he is more like a hero.
Among the three heroes of the Deer family, Robert is the "hero of the hour" and a "born leader"; Renly is a "political star" and an "idol-like successor";
Stannis, on the other hand, is a politician who has worked hard step by step - it is not an exaggeration to call him a "politician".
Of course, this politician is a bit bitter. Anyway, Gao Bin thinks that he is not handsome, but in terms of talent in leading troops, he is not much different from Rob.
If there is a chance, this person cannot take advantage of it!
