Littlefinger didn't know what Duke Tywin wanted to know.

Before being escorted by the Mountain, the Mountain asks Littlefinger to take the initiative to point out the motive for framing the Lannisters for murdering Prime Minister Jon to Cersei and Jaime, but Littlefinger resolutely refuses.

Littlefinger thinks that knowing Cersei and Jaime's NN has a better chance of being executed by Tywin.

Littlefinger tells the Magic Mountain that the less anyone knows about the Lannisters, the safer.

In the end, Moshan agreed to let Littlefinger make his own decisions based on the actual situation.

Then, the topic that Littlefinger wanted to avoid, the topic that Magic Mountain wanted Littlefinger to propose, was brought up by Duke Tywin himself.

What does this mean? What answer does Tywin want to know?

Littlefinger couldn't tell any clues from Duke Tywin's words and actions: Duke Tywin was expressionless and ironclad at all times.

Littlefinger couldn't tell what the answers Tywin liked to hear.

He decided not to change everything: to tell the truth.

In the face of Tywin, it's easier to tell the truth than to lie.

To be honest, there will be no loopholes, and it can withstand interrogation and scrutiny. Lying, as long as there is a slight mistake in one place, and if Duke Tywin is sensitive, the Duke will not give anyone any chance to defend himself.

"Lord Duke, I've heard rumors about Cersei and Jaime. ”

"Oh, how long has it been since I heard that?!" Duke Tywin's words changed a lot, but his tone and expression never changed.

"Two years!"

"Are these rumors widespread?"

"Not widely. ”

"Haven't the king's two brothers heard these rumors?"

"I guess they've heard about it, too. ”

"Oh!" said Lord Tywin, surprised, but calm on the surface. He realized that perhaps he was taking the problem a little seriously, that both of the King's brothers had heard rumors about Cersei and Jaime, so why didn't the King himself know about them?

The king's character, Duke Tywin, knew very well and would have been furious if he knew this, and then cut off Cersei and Jaime's heads and stuck them in the tip of his spear. There is no doubt about it!

"Have both Stannis and Ranley heard the rumors?" Lord Tywin confirmed.

"I guess they've heard of it. Littlefinger said.

"Didn't they tell the king the rumor?"

"I don't know, I just know that the king certainly hasn't heard the rumors. Lord Duke, since it was a rumor, Stannis and Lan Li would definitely not take it to heart. ”

"Stannis will go to heart, Lan Li will not. Duke Tywin said.

This sentence hit the nail on the head.

Littlefinger thinks so too, but in front of Duke Tywin, don't brush up on your cleverness. There are many things that don't need to be said, Duke Tywin himself will think of them.

"Stannis left the palace after Prime Minister Jon's death, as King Robert had once again given the reins of government to Ranley instead of him. ”

"Stannis is the Minister of the Sea, and the Minister of Law is the Minister of Law. The Duke said.

"Yes!"

Stannis was the eldest brother of King Robert, and he had a hard-core personality and was very difficult to get along with, and he did not have any friends. According to the tradition of the Law and family succession, after Robert Baratheon took the throne, the heir of the Baratheon's Storm's End should be Stannis, but Robert did not like Stannis, and he ignored the law and the family's tradition of succession, and passed the Storm's End to his second brother Lanley.

The second brother Lan Li is handsome and kind, can play, talk, sing, and dance, and is very likable, but he has no ability at all, just a very beautiful embroidered pillow.

The eldest brother Stannis is different, he can't play, drink, speak, sing, dance and don't likable, but he has the ability, once led nearly a hundred times less troops than the enemy in the usurper war launched by Robert, Jon, and Eddard sixteen years ago, and resisted the 100,000-strong army of Mestiril in the riverbend when the water and land routes were completely cut off.

In the absence of support and supplies, he ate rats, peeled tree bark, dug grass roots, and finally ate the corpses of soldiers who died in battle, repelled hundreds of enemy attacks, and thwarted the conspiracy of the capitulation faction to cooperate with the outside world, and resolutely refused to surrender when the cronies around him died of war, starvation, and disease. The Duke of Mestiril had nothing to do with him except to besiege the city.

A year later, Stannis finally got Eddard Stark's reinforcements and relieved the siege of Storm's End.

Stannis is a man as tough and resilient as a stone, but he is not likeable. King Robert didn't like him, and Tywin knew that. Obviously, if Stannis had heard the rumors, the only reason he didn't tell the king was because he hadn't found any evidence.

Stannis is a man who doesn't take rumors lightly and insists on finding evidence before he speaks.

"What about Varys, the clawed spider, he's the head of intelligence in King's Landing, the little birds fly all over the city, there's nothing in the world that he doesn't know, hasn't he heard the rumors about Cersei and Jaime?"

Naturally, he had heard it. ”

"Oh!"

That's weird!

Varys, the intelligence chief, is a very, very powerful person, and he wouldn't be so superficial as to hear a rumor and not investigate. Since the investigation, since Cersei and Jaime's NN is true, with Varys's ability, there is no way that it will not be investigated.

If anyone in the city was the first to know about Cersei and Jaime, it would be Varys.

Curiously, however, why didn't the king know at all?

Didn't the intelligence agencies of Varys serve the king?

So who does he serve?

The more Duke Tywin thought about it, the more strange it became!

His daughter and son had committed heinous sins by the side of the King of King's Landing, and all the important ministers who had heard these rumors strangely chose to keep silent.

Littlefinger is not a faction of his own, he is not loyal to the king, he is loyal only to himself.

Stannis does not say that he has a grudge against the king's brother and will not speak until evidence is found. But with Stannis's personality that makes it difficult for anyone to get along with, it will be difficult for him to find evidence without the help of others.

Varys doesn't say anything??? if Varys knows the truth, he will definitely know the truth, so why doesn't he say it?

Duke Tywin couldn't figure out why! In King's Landing, as long as Robert was there, he was the most powerful.

Why didn't Varys speak to the king?

Tywin didn't know why, but he was sure of one thing: Varys must not have been loyal to the king, otherwise the matter would have been found out long ago, and with the king's fierce and ferocious nature, Cersei and Jaime would have fallen to the ground.

Paiselle Tywin admired Tywin, he had always wanted the kingdom to be ruled by Duke Tywin, he had worked with Duke Tywin for twenty years, and Duke Tywin knew that Paxiel would not say or do anything bad for Lannister.

Lan Li is a child who only knows how to have fun, and it is not worth mentioning.

The Captain of the Kingsguard, the fearless Barristan Saimi, is not to mention that although he is famous in the Seven Kingdoms, he is a martial artist with a straw in his brain. Maybe the rumors didn't reach him, maybe he didn't suspect it at all.

Duke Tywin quietly combed through several of the kingdom's royal ministers, and he found that his greatest worries might not be too much to worry about, because at least he could clearly judge that there was no one with the king who was loyal, upright, and talented and scheming.

Varys, Littlefinger, and Paisher are talented and resourceful, but they are clearly not loyal to the king, and they are not loyal and upright.

Stannis, Lanley, and Barristan are loyal and trustworthy, but they lack talent and strategy, one stubborn, one ignorant and one foolish.

Littlefinger didn't dare to take his eyes off it, he kept looking at Lord Tywin, but he didn't know that a few short words of conversation with Lord Tywin had given Lord Tywin insight into all the current state of the Imperial Court.

Tywin, who was hired by the King of Targaryen to be the Prime Minister of the Kingdom at the age of twenty, was the only person feared by Littlefinger and the only person admired by Paisir, a scholar of the four generations of national teachers, and his superior intelligence and ability to perceive the world were unmatched.

Duke Tywin was pleased with the state of affairs in the dynasty.

If it weren't for the fact that these royal ministers had their own ghosts, the wise were disloyal and upright, and the loyal and upright were not smart, Cersei and Jaime would have died.

The king is also not a difficult man to deal with. From the fact that after he sat on the Iron Throne, he never asked about government affairs and only ate, drank, prostituted, and gambled, it can be seen that he is not a man of great talent. He has conquered the country, but he is not capable of managing it. The royal family's heavy arrears already speak for themselves, and it is still Prime Minister Jon who has found Little Finger, who can turn one golden dragon into two by grinding it, to be the Chancellor of the Exchequer, otherwise, the entire royal family has collapsed because of the huge amount of money owed.

Duke Tywin has calculated the overall situation in his heart, and he knows it. He looked at the little finger kneeling in front of him: "Lord Petyrberry, I have two kinds of people who don't kill, do you know which two kinds of people they are?"

Littlefinger shook his head, he had never thought of this question, although he had come up with some alternative answers in his wit, but why bother? Such a question was not a more serious question, it was just that Lord Tywin needed someone to cooperate with him in order to reveal the standard answer in the Duke's mind.

"Lord Duke, I don't know!" Littlefinger's sincere tone and humble expression.

Tywin looked out of the study door, "Go open the door and let Sir Gregor come in and tell you." ”

"Yes, sir!" Littlefinger stood up and turned his back, the expression on his face relaxed.

He went to open the door, and looked at the magic mountain, the two of them had the same mind, and they passed the level.

The Magic Mountain strode in, and Littlefinger followed him like a dwarf.

"Sir Gregor, tell Lord Petyrberysi, who are the two kinds of men whom I will not kill?"
