I will hold high the dragon flag in the world of the heavens

Chapter 256 Supporting New Forces, The Temptation of the Empress (for Subscription)
On this day, ravens flew to all parts of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and many people got the news of Daenerys' death.

King Robert also celebrated three days with joy.

He let King's Landing have fun with the people, and spent the gold coins he had just earned before.

Countless people praised the king's generosity.

After the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms heard the news, they kept thinking behind their backs.

Dorn, who had always been devoted to the Targaryen family, had mixed feelings after hearing the news.

Even Prince Daolang, the Duke of Yangmae City who has been coming to King's Landing, sent his own brother, Red Viper Oberon, to attend the next year's tournament.

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

He is bohemian by nature and advocates freedom.Has traveled to the continents of Westeros and Essos, and has countless mistresses.

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

Since he usurped the throne, Prince Daolang has only sent a few earls here, and he doesn't have too much contact with King's Landing at other times.

Because there are too many Dorne deserts, during the Targaryen reign, countless troops were sent to rule Dorne, but unfortunately they failed many times.

There was also a giant dragon who died tragically on the way to conquer, so Robert didn't dare to conquer it himself.

Prince Doran's overtures have greatly benefited Robert.

He thought his position as king was more secure.

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

Because this guy Varys is with Prince Daolang, and they are going to act.

In the original novel, during the Battle of the Usurper, Robert defeated the Dragon Prince of Targaryen, and the Lannister army tricked King's Landing into breaking the city wall and sent his henchmen to assassinate everyone in the Targaryen royal family.Elia Martell, the sister of the newly born little Aegon Red Viper and the current crown princess, was brutally murdered by the Lannister family.

But what everyone didn't know was that Varys had secretly replaced the crown princess's child, Aegon the Younger.

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

Because of his good blood, shortly after he was born, he mastered a gold mercenary group with tens of thousands of people.

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

The Targaryen brothers and sisters are just a smokescreen for Robert's apparent attraction to them.

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

But with the death of the Targaryen brothers and sisters and the growth of little Aegon, Prince Doran of Dorne, Varys and others knew that this place must be messed up as soon as possible.

Littlefinger, who has become a semi-vegetative, once said a famous saying: "Chaos is a ladder that goes up."

Only when Westeros is in turmoil will they have a chance to welcome the Prince of Targaryen back to the Iron Throne.

After learning of the death of the Daenerys siblings, Varys directly sent a raven to contact the Prince of Dorne.

The Red Viper decided to come over in person to carry out a plan of revenge and trouble.

ten days later 1
Varys sent his little bird to Ed, who was inspecting the work, with the letter.

Seeing the news written in the letter that they knew how his 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's 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.

The grown-up was very interested in the illegitimate child.

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

That night, Ed found Grand Maester Pycelle and asked for a book about noble blood and population characteristics that Jon had read before.

Half an hour later!
After tossing and turning for a long time, Pai Xier said regretfully to Ed: "Sorry, Mr. Prime Minister, the family and glory have been lost. I will look for it for you tomorrow!"

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

On the other side, a secret meeting room.

Zhang Jin walked in with a few people.

Chen Mu, who was obsessed with practicing "White Crane Visualization Picture", was also awakened and participated in this secret meeting.

"Varys suddenly contacted Ed Stark today, and the investigation of the illegitimate child has already started."

"Why so careless? Why did Varys suddenly become a demon?"

"It should be the person who Varys used the raven to contact Dawn a few days ago. We are too busy these days, we only focus on teaching people, and the monitoring is a bit negligent."

"Convert Varys?"

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

The people in the northern border haven't been trained yet, and if there is a turmoil, their lives will be ruined.

So the big guys have been delaying the outbreak of chaos!
It's a pity that a hundred secrets are sparse.

"Then implement Plan C and help Stannis ascend the throne!"

Robert Baratheon has two younger brothers.

Among them, the second brother, Duke Stannis Baratheon, has a fief in Dragonstone Island.

The third brother Renly Baratheon fiefs Storm's End.

The reason for picking Stannis is simple.

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

The Reach is very rich, but the old Rose of the Rose family is powerful, but not courageous enough.

They are typical speculators.

When the general trend has been determined, we must not dare to make mistakes.

But to support Lannister, there have been great changes.

Not to mention killing Joffrey, the first emperor of the ages, but also dealing 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 crotch sport guy at the moment.This man is no surprise.

It is also possible to support Renly, but it is impossible to get the support of Ed in the north.

Stannis Baratheon is a stuffy fellow, but upon investigation, he's fairly easy-going.

He at least abides by the law and doesn't mess around!
There is only one person behind Stannis: Melisandre, High Priestess of the Red Temple.

This woman is the most unstable factor.

But according to their intelligence investigation, this guy hasn't appeared on Dragonstone Island yet.

So Chen Mu can show a miracle here and destroy this bewitching guy~
Since Ed can't be prevented from investigating the illegitimate child, then follow the trend and let Robert, a stupid guy, die earlier.

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

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

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

Once Oberon died, Dorne would surely kill him.

Live red vipers are more valuable.

"That's fine, I'll lock up the Red Viper and his gang in the dark room."

"agree!"

In the following time, Zhang Jin led a group of soldiers to stay in King's Landing to teach the workers and wait and see the changes in the situation.

Chen Mu and Bian Zhuang led six soldiers from the Spring Breeze Squad to Dragonstone Island.

They have found a good reason.

Large-scale production of obsidian weapons in Dragonstone Island helps the infrastructure construction of Dragonstone Island.

In short, it is for the benefit of Dragonstone Island.

On Zhang Jin's side, he put the books he had collected before into the corner of the bookshelf in the collection of Grand Master Pai Sear, and the rest of the people also began to divide into the distance.

Only Zhang Jin and a few people stayed in King's Landing.

They met the Lannisters behind their backs, and they pretended to express their love for the Lannister family.

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

"What is Prime Minister Ed doing recently?"

"Reporting to the Queen, apart from being busy with the construction of King's Landing and formulating a new commercial tax with Tyrion, Prime Minister Ed spent most of his time investigating matters related to illegitimate children. He also asked me for a book yesterday. I really don'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?"

"Blood and Family of Westeros, a book about noble blood."

Cersei subconsciously grasped the wine glass in her hand, and nodded pretending to be innocent: "Well, I see. You go down!"

"Yes, Queen!"

Grand Maester Pacelle left directly.

After leaving here, the old Grand Maester Pycelle vigorously wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Pycelle had guessed that Queen Cersei's mess would be exposed.

Pai Xier is an old fritter, and if he can survive in the fox den in 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 son before his death, he noticed the abnormality.

Because he already knew about Queen Cersei's affair with her brother Jaime.

Those three children were actually the children of the Lannisters! !

Seeing the death of Jon Arryn, he subconsciously thought it was Cersei who did it, and he would rather be a coward than participate in such a big event.

After Pycelle left, Cersei collapsed on the ground.

"Damn, found out!"

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

She was in a mess at that time, so she was quickly caught by the maid and taken to a secret prison.

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

After secretly executing the maid, she sent someone to investigate all abnormalities in King's Landing.

It was only then that she found out that Prime Minister Ed was secretly investigating Robert's illegitimate child.

Also know that he contacted Pycelle yesterday!

Cersei knew Pycelle's character, and she also had a handle on Pycelle, so she quickly called this 90-year-old old SP who was still keen on visiting the women's branch.

Knowing that Ed is collecting evidence of an illegitimate child, Cersei, who is guilty of a crime, knows that the other party must have obtained some information.

"You must take the initiative to attack, and you cannot just catch it!"

Cersei hastily wrote her own confession letter to her father.

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

And she sent soldiers to let people observe Ed.

He wants to see if there is any change in this guy!
And Cersei held a banquet and secretly entertained Zhang Jin.

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

"Mr. Zhang, our Lannister family has a lot of gold mines, and we want you to guide the expansion work. Do you have time?"

"Well, my lord queen, we are completely understaffed. We are simply not up to the task!"

Only then did Cersei remember the news that only a few of these guys were staying in King's Landing.

She smiled coquettishly: "Well, that's a pity. Lannister is rich and prosperous. We hope that you will continue to cooperate when you have time."

"Certainly, my lord queen!"

Holding the wine glass, Cersei slowly approached Zhang Jin: "Zhang, do you want to taste the queen's taste?"

Zhang Jin: "..."

"Isn't Zhang a man?"

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

Zhang Jin hesitated!
"Queen, you are married!"

"Then you saw the queen staying alone in the vacant room all day, and then watching the king lingering in the female branch every day in pain?"

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

Cersei rushed directly to Zhang Jin.

"kiss Me!"

Zhang Jin: "..."

Hey ~
Sacrifice to feed a tiger, but so ah!

I'm here for the big picture!

For the big picture.

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

Anyway, Zhang Jin is a bachelor, and he doesn't have any psychological burden to fall in love or something.

And Cersei continued to investigate after she believed that she slept with the people of Tang Dynasty.

Through the sheriff, the gold robe and various eyeliners, Cersei confirmed that Ed had no news of secretly contacting them.

This made the queen puzzled.

All these clues confirm one thing!
Eddard Stark did not collude with forces to overthrow the Lannister family.

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

At least she had enough time to contact her iron-blooded father and calmly preemptively strike.

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

He was leafing through a book he had borrowed from Grand Maester Pycelle.

Ed is having a rough time these days!
Too many bad things these days.

First, a large number of soldiers suddenly rioted in Hejian, burning, killing and looting.Some civilians came to complain, saying that thieves were rampant.

He sent the Lightning King, the red monk and others to quell the chaos.

In the following time, he continued to investigate how his adoptive father, Jon Arryn, died.

He also felt that his adoptive father died strangely.

It's a pity that because of 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 didn't feel too nervous either.

Although Ed found out that Robert had many illegitimate children among the people, the tomes he acquired seemed clueless.

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

"Why does Ayrin read these useless books?"

"No, Robert...something happened to King Robert."

"what?"

Qiao Suo, Ed's head of the bodyguard, hurried over and said out of breath, "When King Robert was hunting today, he was pierced by a wild boar because he drank too much wine!"

Ed: "..."

Damn!

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