The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Red Fort. Throne Hall.

Ed Stark was sitting on the uncomfortably high iron throne, and he remembered the words of Aegon Targaryen, who cast this throne: If you are a king, you cannot sit properly.

Damn Aegon and Robert!

Ed Stark cursed in his heart, but faced the subjects under the throne with a face like water.

From the beginning of the morning to now noon, he and three important court ministers-four dynasty veteran scholar Schill, finance minister Earl Petit Berishi, intelligence director Varys-have dealt with government affairs for four hours.

King Robert, who was supposed to be sitting on the throne, went hunting. The Captain of the Imperial Forest Guard Barristan Selmi and his important minister Renly Baratheon who were supposed to be sitting at the table also followed him. Tie The captain of the guard is responsible for protecting the king; and it is his kingdom's duty to accompany the king's brother on the hunt by Renly Baratheon.

The former assistant of the king's hand-King Robert's second brother Stannis Baratheon-left King's Landing and returned to the fief Longshi Island without saying goodbye.

This is a throne hall where the important ministers and kings are absent.

In fact, the lunch time of the courtiers has passed, but Prime Minister Ed Stark sat on the Iron Throne, still meticulously handling the demands of the people, everyone cursed in their hearts, but no one dared to leave without permission, and no one dared to leave. Raise objections. ——On the first day Ed Stark took office, everyone saw the incommensurable stubbornness and rigidity of dealing with things in the North.

After giving advice to Prime Minister Ed Stark, Will retreated to the midst of the knight ladies and the nobles. It's just that everyone consciously or unconsciously stayed away from him. These slight actions were subtle and invisible, but in Will's eyes, it was like a drop of ink falling on the snow-white paper.

After Ed Stark and the three important ministers had dealt with another appeal from the people, he was about to announce his retreat. Everyone had dinner first and continued in the afternoon. However, a person hurried into the hall, the garrison commander Janos of King's Landing. ·Slint.

He smiled with a frog face, his eyes flickered, and his expression was excited: "Prime Minister, the order is issued, the Seven Kingdoms Lords and knights have moved out of King's Landing first to set up their own tents outside the city. Everyone wants to rank ahead of the other lords, no one is willing to fall behind."

Ranked ahead of others, this is the beginning of competition among the nobles. Whether it is a knight or a lord, ranking is also related to their honor. Especially for the nobles in the same kingdom, there are many conflicts about borders and other trivial matters between each other. It is also a victory to rank ahead of the ‘enemy’.

"Oh!" Ed Stark's usual frozen face eased. "When the lords and knights were ordered to move out of King's Landing City, they angered the civilians because of the crowded roads and too many horses. This caused fighting and killing. ?"

"No, Prime Minister, during the relocation of the lord and knights of the city, there has not been a fight to bully the civilians, let alone murder." Jenos Slinter smiled, "My lord, all the lord and The knights refused to be deprived of the qualifications for fighting because of trivial matters, disputes and murder.

Being deprived of the qualifications to compete is not only notorious for the Seven Nations, but will also be laughed at by his opponents and colleagues for many years. This is unacceptable to any lord and knight.

Although Janos Slintming knew that this was the advice of Will, the man in black, he naturally ignored Will the man in black, and verbally attributed all the credit to the Prime Minister.

Ed Stark looked at Will. Will finished his business, and he also approved Will's contest request. However, Will did not leave. Why? Stark felt Will waiting for him. As for the reason, he didn't know.

Ed Stark nodded at Will, and Will nodded in response.

Littlefinger, eunuch, bachelor, and the three spirits of Hongbao sat at the discussion table with blinking eyes, making eye contact, and the feelings in each other's hearts were a bit complicated. The three spirits are full of ingenuity, knowledgeable, and no one can do it. The seven countries’ government affairs are in hand, controlled in the palm of the hand, and rich in experience. However, in this matter, a man in black, Will, easily helped the stone men of the north. Ed Stark won the big prize.

The people outside, courtiers, overloaded garrison soldiers, wandering singers and chanting poets will only dedicate all the credit and praise to Ed Stark.

This time to solve the security and burden of Junlin City, Sanjing did not have any useful advice or credit.

Not a word.

The courtiers in the hall heard that things went so smoothly, beyond imagination, it was a slight commotion. The knight noble ladies whispered and whispered, and many people's eyes fell on Will again.

If it weren't for this black suit, Wil Benfeng would be handsome and handsome. This humble black suit was like an old scabbard with cracks, and Will was a treasure in the scabbard that was looked down upon.

One can only see the obsolescence of the scabbard, not the sharpness of the sword in the scabbard.

Littlefinger’s eyes flickered, and he chuckled: “The Prime Minister, the knights, and lords moved to live in the martial arts field outside the city. It did solve the fights and disputes caused by the friction with the city residents, but those thieves and robbers , And it’s not because the lord and the knights have left to commit crimes. Commander Janos Slint, I think the brothers in the garrison you added cannot be withdrawn."

Will tilted his head slightly, looked at his little finger, and smiled softly.

Will chuckled for the first time and helped the Prime Minister to solve the most difficult incidents of conflicts, fights, fights, fights and killings caused by the overwhelming population of King's Landing. All the lord knights who came were moved out of the city, and they were designated for unified residence and management in the competition field. ——If they want to fight each other to kill, the Prime Minister’s order does not actually prohibit them. ——As long as you don't harass the residents of Junlin City.

——Will smiled again this time, and stared at his little finger without any shame, as if he had already seen through the body of the little finger. His look made people feel that what little finger said was actually a trivial matter.

Varys' eyes lit up impenetrably. He caged his hands in his sleeves and decided to get down to the rock. Whether Will wins or Littlefinger wins this round, he won't lose anyway: "Brother in black, you just chuckled at Count Petyr. Did you think that was right or that Yes?"

Will smiled and said: "I think Earl Petyr has many ways to do it. In those days, Earl Petyr became the tax officer of Seagull Town. In a short time, he tripled local taxes. It is amazing. Who is that? Knowing that the real surprise is still to come, in a not too long time, the adults have doubled the tax profit of Seagull Town by ten times. Hehe, with such talent, it is necessary to solve the problem of using the opportunity of the First Military Conference to move to King's Landing. The thieves and robbers who came here frowned and the problem was solved."

These words seem to be praise or derogation, praise or irony, but they are hinting at Littlefinger, I know your past, and also understand your fortune.

Seagull Town is the territorial port of the late Prime Minister, the Jon Allyn family, the guardian of the East. The official position of the first step in Littlefinger's fortune was the one that Lysa Tully asked Jon Allyn to reward him. Since then, he has shown amazing financial ability and has made steady progress. With the secret help of Lysa Tully, Lysa Tully’s husband, Prime Minister Jon Aylin, promoted Littlefinger all the way until he became the Minister of Finance of the Dynasty. .

The three spirits at the Kingdom's table, the little finger is loyal to himself; Sendsier is loyal to Cersei; Varys is loyal to Targaryen. ——Will, who is traveling, knows all this well. In his plan, the three fine ministers will be wiped out.

Littlefinger smiled gracefully: "Black Will, everyone knows my financial ability and talent for gold coins. You don’t need to praise me here, Master Varys. You laughed at me just now, but you can solve the thieves and robbers of the Seven Kingdoms. A good way to focus on King’s Landing? If not, shut up."

Will smiled again, with a humble expression and a friendly smile: "Master Pettier, is there any good way for you and the Earl of Varys to send the Fellowship? If so, I shut up. If not, I Yes.-For any seemingly difficult problem, just finding the right method is actually easier than changing the name."

This sentence is simpler than changing the name again! Moreover, the other two were not spared either.

As soon as Will said this, the noble knights and ladies who were whispering to each other unanimously quieted down. They all looked at the smiling and determined black men, and the throne room was silent for a while.
