Chapter 0390 Dig a pit and bury some soil

Duke Tywin looked at Cersei, who tried her best to maintain graceful manners, took Joffrey's hand, and forced a smile: "Your Majesty, let's go." Sansa"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. Sansa ran out of the ladies in a velvet gown and a black mink shawl.

"Let's go with the king. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. ”

Cersei and Sansa helped Joffrey away, and the Kingsguard, handmaidens, and red-robed guards immediately followed.

"Ivory, gold, jade, and rubies are valuable things, Ti Mei, do you want to exchange them for wine?"

"Thank you, Lord Magic Mountain. Ti Mei was overjoyed, and stepped forward to pick up the chopsticks that were broken into several pieces, and his eyes sparkled.

Duke Tywin was expressionless and said, "All the important ministers in the imperial palace are left, and the rest of the courtiers and generals, please go back first today." ”

So the knights, the knights, the generals, the centurions, the noblewomen, and the ladies began to rise and leave the throne hall one after another.

Janine stood beside the Magic Mountain, like a little bird nestled against a bird of prey, or like a little white rabbit leaning against a timber wolf.

"I'm coming from the West. Jenny whispered.

"I know. ”

"I see your danger. ”

The Magic Mountain also knows its danger, but I don't know if the danger Janie is talking about is the same as the danger she knows?!

"Where does the danger come from?"

"This is it. Jenny lowered her voice even more, like the voice of a mosquito, "Father Tywin and Uncle Kevon, our enemies. ”

"I'll talk about it later. ”

"Hmm!"

"Where's Grizelda (the bull)?" the mountain needed her to protect Janie.

"As soon as she came to King's Landing, she went to see her husband at the flea nest. ”

"Uh-huh!"

Moshan sighed in his heart.

Bernie is a good eater in King's Landing, daring to do anything but good deeds, a frequent visitor to brothels and casinos, the rogue leader of King's Landing, the 'little birds' in charge of King's Landing on behalf of the Magic Mountain, and in charge of keeping in touch with Varys and Illyrio on the other side of the Narrow Sea.

Magic Mountain reckoned that Bernie probably didn't even think of Grizzelda very little. However, when the bull came to King's Landing, the first thing he did was to see him. Although Bernie is not good to Griselda, Griselda is affectionate to Bernie.

Magic Mountain lowered his head and looked at Jenny gently. Jenny smiled slightly, the beauty was infinite, and the heart of the magic mountain was about to melt.

"You've worked hard all the way!"

"No, not really. ”

Jenny looked at the Magic Mountain, her eyes full of affection for the Magic Mountain. Magic Mountain can read the words in Jenny's eyes: We are family, we have to face difficulties together, you are in trouble, so, I came.

A warm current flowed through the heart of the magic mountain: someone cared, someone cared, someone loved, someone foresaw the ordeal and rushed thousands of miles to carry it with you, this feels so good!

"If others don't give us a good life, we won't give someone else a good life, no matter who he is!" Magic Mountain whispered in Jenny's ear.

"Whoever doesn't let us go, we don't let him go. Jenny responded.

In this way, the essence of the beast and the beauty are no different.

Gavin Westerling walked over and stood beside his son-in-law and daughter, coughing, and Magic Mountain and Jenny turned back together and saw Count Gavin.

Count Gavin nodded to the Magic Mountain, smiled, and greeted each other: "Jane, Lord Gregor is already the Duke of Dragonstone, and it seems that you will be moving soon." “

Jenny nodded, no surprise.

Magic Mountain estimated that since Jenny had learned from the witch or the blood witchcraft he had secretly dragged her into the water, since she foresaw her troubles, she probably also foresaw the glory of becoming a duke from an earl.

"Father, you have worked the march and fighting. ”

Father and daughter hugged each other tightly! Jenny buried her little face in the crook of her father's arm and closed her eyes.

After a while, Gavin said, "Jeanne, let's go first, Lord Gregor is the Minister of the Sea, the Imperial Minister, and he has a meeting with the Prime Ministers." “

"Yes, Father. Jenny complied.

Magic Mountain stood in the hall, watching Jenny, Count Gavin, Angai, Brienne, Erin, Dunson, Polivier, Julie and others finally walk out of the throne hall, and felt very solid in their hearts!

There are a few chairs next to the long table of the Imperial Council.

Duke Tywin walked over and took the position of Prime Minister.

Littlefinger Petyrberg stepped over and took his old seat.

Cobain chose the outermost chair and sat on it with only half of his skin. He was also humble. This humility is welcome, and no one likes a bachelor who has neither humility nor a bachelor's necklace. Cobain put himself in a very low position, but everyone knew that he was a skilled doctor, a man of great knowledge, and a unique and genuine skill.

The Magic Mountain sat on the right hand side of Little Finger, near the Prime Minister's position.

To the left of the Prime Minister, a new seat has been added, and the Prime Minister's younger brother, Kavon Lannister, sits it.

Two new members were added to the meeting: Mestirell, the new Minister of Justice, who had not yet been approved by the king, and Adam Malbran, who had been newly promoted to commander of the King's Landing garrison;

Duke Tywin spoke: "I propose, do not explain, do not discuss, only vote, and those who agree raise their hands, with more than three votes, will be deemed to have passed." His gaze swept over the crowd, "Who has an opinion?

No one raised their hand!

"The first proposal, I propose that the Minister of Justice of the country be the Duke of Mestiril, with a show of hand in agreement. ”

The Magic Mountain and Adam Malbran raised their hands together! Duke Tywin didn't raise his hand, he could raise his hand at any time, and that's three votes. Cobain and Littlefinger raised their hands or not, in fact, they could not affect any of the Duke's decisions.

Mestiril is not yet the Minister of Justice, and he is not qualified to raise his hand, but he has sat in the Imperial Council, what does this mean? Duke Tywin has no scruples, tears off his mask, and forcibly pushes government forward. It may have been Joffrey's outstanding performance today that spurred the most calm duke.

Littlefingers, Petyrberry, and Cobain raised their hands.

A total of five people have the right to vote, and four have already raised their hands, and the duke's own proposal is naturally to raise hands, that is, it is unanimously approved.

The Imperial Council had great powers, and resolutions were passed with the consent of three or more courtiers. It seems that Duke Tywin did not intend to pass through Joffrey again, and the boy would disrupt his plans very abruptly, and then go wild and unbridled, which would be equivalent to putting the Duke on a charcoal fire for barbecue. The Duke himself likes to eat barbecue, and he likes to treat others as barbecue, but he doesn't like to be barbecued himself.

"Congratulations to the Duke of Mestiril, for becoming the Minister of Justice of the State, and I will work hard for you from now on. Duke Tywin said dryly.

The Minister of Justice is a candy in his hands, very sweet, and Mestiril is clearly very fond of sugar.

"For the country and the people, do your best. "Inflatable fish come as soon as they open their mouths.

The magic mountain is silent, if the little devil is here, it is estimated that he will laugh at Mace again, and he will do his best for the country and the people on the prostitute of Shataya. Where there is no little devil, the Magic Mountain feels like something is missing. The little devil's poisonous tongue is like a knife, but Moshan finds that he still likes to listen to his poisonous tongue, which shows that Moshan himself is also evolving to the 'cheap' side.

"The second proposal, I propose that Kay von Lannister be the country's head of intelligence, we need to rebuild our own intelligence system, agrees with a raise of hand. ”

Unanimous vote!

At this point, there is only one person left in the country's Imperial Council: the Captain of the Royal Guard. The rest of the posts have been fully staffed: Prime Minister Tywin, Minister of Justice Mays, Minister of Maritime Affairs Magic Mountain, Chancellor of the Exchequer Littlefinger, Minister of Intelligence Kevon, Acting National Teacher Koben, Commander of the Garrison Adam Malbran, and Captain of the Kingsguard.

"For the third proposal, I propose that Sir Berosbraun, a former member of the Kingsguard, return to the Red Keep as the Royal Kingsguard. ”

Cobain, Magic Mountain, and Little Finger were all stunned.

They knew what the hell Berros Braun was, cowardice was his greatest good quality, bullying the weak was what he was most interested in persistently doing, and the guy was getting fatter and fatter, and he walked with lap legs reminiscent of a crab. When it comes to martial arts, that guy's swordsmanship is average.

"I know Bolosbraun isn't the best candidate, but he's the right fit, he's a loyal man to the Kingsguard. ”

Tywin, who said that he couldn't explain, explained the reason without embarrassment.

Adam Malbran, Kay von Lannister, and Mestiril raised their hands and voted three, and the return of Beros Braun to the Kingsguard was a foregone conclusion.

Little Finger raised his hand, Cobain raised his hand, and Magic Mountain raised his hand.

Unanimous vote!

With such an efficient handling of government affairs, it is estimated that the Duke of Tywin is the first person in history.

"The fourth proposal, Sir Loras Tyrellpin, for his chivalry, loyalty, and martial prowess, I propose that the highest honour of knighthood be awarded to him, and that he deserve it, and that we shall confer upon Loras Tyrell the position of Kingsguard at the Basilica of Baylor. Raise your hand in agreement. ”

Everyone looked at Master Mace, Loras was his third son, and he had the most to say.

The Magic Mountain was the first to raise its hand, and since everyone knew it, what else did they pretend?

Sure enough, Mace raised his hand. This shows that the two dukes had reached a unanimous decision in advance of this matter.

Is it ironic that King Joffrey insisted that the Mountain behead Loras Tyrell after the jousting trial, and now Loras Tyrell has become an iron guard who swears to protect him? Not at all!

"The Kingsguard is still missing a captain, if you have the right candidate, you can recommend it to me. Duke Tywin said.

In just a short period of time, the most difficult and important government affairs of the kingdom were easily solved by Duke Tywin in a way that one plus one equals two, and the time spent was miraculous. Compared with the previous Imperial Council, a trivial matter, an appointment, arguing, ridiculing, sarcastic and sarcastic time with each other was several times higher than today.

The Duke asked everyone to nominate a suitable captain of the Kingsguard, but no one answered. Since Duke Tywin has not found a suitable candidate, then surely no one will find one.

Littlefinger smiled, looked at Mestilir with bad intentions, and spat out clear words with thin lips: "Congratulations to Lord Mace for being the Minister of Law of the State, your Excellency is knowledgeable, proficient in the affairs of the kingdom, experienced, noble, caring for the people, loving the king, and loyal, and deservedly so." ”

Mestiril hurriedly humbled.

The kung fu of the little finger slapping the sycophants can be described as perfect.

It's just that Moshan has understood that the more beautiful this liar's words are, the worse it will hurt you, this is the law.

Littlefinger continued: "Lord Mace, after the Great Battle of King's Landing, thousands of soldiers were killed, mainly the Royal Navy, and thousands of wounded soldiers were mainly the Royal Garrison, Her Majesty's red-robed personal guards, the Clegane Army and the King's army, which required a large amount of money to be appeased, and our treasury was already empty in the time of King Robert. ”

Mace pretended to listen attentively and made a sad expression on his face to show that he was worried about the country and the people.

Littlefinger was unhurried and unhurried: "Lord Mace, the families of the casualties are in dire need of food, but our maritime trade has been completely cut off, and the captains of the various countries living in Silk Street are waiting for us to compensate for the loss of their forcibly requisitioned merchant ships, which have been destroyed by fire, and their bodies have sunk on the banks of the Blackwater River to prevent Stannis's warships from docking. The river bay is rich and the grain is piled up, please advance 1 million gold dragons to the national treasury for emergency relief, when we breathe a sigh of relief, we will repay the adults as soon as possible, and at the same time ask the adults to transport the grain into the city as soon as possible. “

Before Mace's skin was warm, Littlefinger's knife was sharpened. The people who can sit in it all have the dual good qualities of scum and human spirits, but in contrast, Lord Mace is a simple and pure person.

Mace looked at Duke Tywin, who had come as Minister of Justice, and the trade was to bear the grain of King's Landing, but he didn't have the million gold dragons. This skin stock had only sat on the stool and had not had a few heartbeats, and suddenly he was asked to take out a million gold dragons, which was unacceptable to Lord Mace for the country and the people.

However, on the first day of becoming the Minister of Justice, he had an unpleasant quarrel with the important ministers present, and it seemed inappropriate to tie a knot in his heart.

"The grain will be brought into the city as soon as possible, as for the golden dragon, I ......" The honest inflatable fish glanced at everyone present again, and felt that everyone's eyes had the magic of devouring people, and he was calm, it seemed that it was impossible not to bleed," Our family has spent a lot of money, and the taxes have not been able to be collected, and the mobilization of the army this time has cost a lot and the burden is very heavy, but the country is in a difficult time, although we are very difficult, then grit our teeth and persevere, one million gold dragons really can't be taken out, fifty thousand gold dragons, this is already the limit of what I can take out at present, first help solve some of the dead and wounded soldiers' consolation money. “

"My lord, 50,000 golden dragons......" Little Finger smiled narrowly, "800,000 golden dragons, it can't be less." “

"One hundred thousand golden dragons, my lord. Now there are 40,000 troops in Hewandi who live in the king's martial arts arena, and the salary for a month is really a big expense. ”

"Anyway, seven hundred thousand golden dragons. Littlefinger smiled gracefully, but there was no smile in his eyes, "In return, the Lord's family will have the right to participate in the trade of the ports of the Blackwater River: grain, silk, cloth, porcelain, ironware, handicrafts...... If the adults are happy, they can open a brothel in King's Landing. ”

Participating in the trade of King's Landing is an absolute piece of fat. Once involved, the foundation is laid ...... That's going to be a lot of money...... Littlefinger's ability to pit people has never been under Duke Tywin...... This candy is very sweet......

"Three hundred thousand golden dragons, my lord. ”

"This is an extraordinary time, and this is a loan, my lord, and it will be returned to you. Duke Tywin is staying in King's Landing, fully promoting government affairs, revitalizing the economy, and developing trade, are you still afraid that you will not be able to pay it back? The foreign trade of King's Landing Port will begin to fully recover, and now is the best time to intervene. Littlefinger Petyr smiled kindly. Of course, he will definitely not return it, it was borrowed by the state, but not Littlefinger himself. Whoever has money must be repaid, little finger is clear, such as the money in the iron vault on the other side of the Narrow Sea.

Littlefinger's goal is to temporarily 'borrow' 500,000 gold dragons.

"Uh, okay! I'll try to make it up, but not seven hundred thousand, five hundred thousand. Tyrell was so moved that he had to go back and tell his mother, but it was hard to get rid of the person who was being targeted by Littlefinger, just like fishing, no matter what kind of fish you are, there is always a bait for you. Even the Queen of Thorns, Littlefinger has the bait ready.

It was the first time that Moshan had held this kind of "**" meeting, and he had seen Little Finger's ability to 'find money'. In just a few words, dig a pit and bury some soil, and get 500,000 gold dragons, which is a lot of money, which can solve the problem of expenses in the Red Fort after the war. And once the food problem is solved, King's Landing will be worry-free!

This guy can be the Minister of Finance, framing the little devil almost made the little devil lose his life, but the absolute human spirit like the little devil still couldn't touch him, and the two of them still 'coexisted peacefully', this is the ability.

The Magic Mountain watched coldly: Tywin, Kavon, Mace, Mace's mother, Queen of Thorns, that's an absolutely ruthless horn, Cobain, Littlefinger...... Joffrey, Cersei...... And also...... Belch...... He himself has accumulated a red castle in his own magic mountain, and the show has just begun!
