Sore, tired and hungry, Eddard Stark rode through the towering bronze gates of the Red Keep. Behind him, there were tired subordinates and a fleeting convoy from the north.

After entering the king's territory, Ed heard the news constantly, all about the conflict between his uncle Edmure and the Magic Mountain in Riverrun, he knew that the biggest weakness of his brother-in-law was that he thought he was invincible in the world, and his best advantage was filial piety. But no matter how outstanding his uncle is and how noble his status is, he will not be the opponent of the Magic Mountain.

When the news came that Edmure had followed the Magic Mountain into the West, Eddard Stark couldn't sit still, and he immediately sent a raven to Duke Horst, asking him to order Edmure Tully to return immediately, and the West was a badlands that the Tully family could never enter. He came to King's Landing to be Prime Minister for a big reason, which was to secretly investigate the cause of the death of former Prime Minister Jon Arryn.

Jon Arryn is his adoptive father and brother-in-law, father and son, son Ed married his sister Caitlin Tully as his wife, and father Jon married his sister Lysa Tully as his wife, and the relationship between the two is both father and son and brother-in-law. Rysa Tully's letter was burned on the spot by Caitlin Tully, but every word on the letter was firmly in Ed's heart. When the letter states that it was the Lannisters who had murdered Jon Arryn and was about to take action against Rysa Tully, Lysa Tully and his son Robert Arryn escaped King's Landing and returned to his own domain: the Vale.

Eddard remembered that when he was in Winterfell, at the banquet, he went to toast King Robert, Jaime Lannister stood up and blocked his way, in the midst of the cacophony of people, Jaime contemptuously advised Ed not to go south to King's Landing, he said that the people in King's Landing are liars, and he is a sincere man, and something will happen if he goes south. Eddard immediately said that Stark was a vassal of the king, and it was King Robert who had the final say, not the Lannisters, and Jaime chuckled and said that he wanted to try his swordsmanship with Eddard to help the banquet, and Ed replied coldly that his sword was not for the test, but for killing. Jaime Lannister...... No, it's the monarch killer, and the monarch killer has to get out of the way.

It was still in Winterfell, in his own castle, and the Kingkiller was so arrogant.

What kind of tendon did Edmuthuli do? The Demon Mountain has already discredited the Tully family by breaking the Riverrun City's blackmail, and he followed the Magic Mountain to the West after being humiliated, which is an unforgivable stupidity.

Ed has been unable to sleep ever since, and he sends a raven to Riverrun every day for four days.

Ed came to the Prime Minister's Tower, and as soon as he got off the horse, a big fat man in a splendid costume ran over: "Prime Minister, I am the Imperial Governor Adonis, and I have sent the Great Master of Sir to convene an emergency imperial meeting, hoping that the Prime Minister will rush to it immediately." ”

A resentment rushed up from Ed's legs and feet, he had just dismounted, the wind was dusty, and because the farther south went, the hotter it became, he and his subordinates had lived in the north for too long, and they were all a little unwell, and this had not yet entered the Prime Minister's Tower, and he was covered in dust, so he had to go to the throne hall for a meeting, or an emergency meeting.

Ed's face was ugly, he wanted to say you, Lao Tzu just wanted to take a hot bath first, eat two roast chickens, and then sleep on the soft feather bed, and then have that emergency meeting after waking up: "Okay, please let me change my clothes first, otherwise it will be too rude!"

"Yes, Prime Minister, change your clothes, I'm here to wait!"

Ed called the treasurer and the prime minister's general affairs officer, Vianpool, who was entering the gate of the Prime Minister's Tower, and told him to arrange the quarters of the young ladies, let the grooms clean the stables first, take good care of the horses, and asked the captain of the guard, Joric Keso, to lead the two men to the throne hall with him.

A moment later, Adonis led Eddard and the four of them to the throne hall. The last time I came to the throne hall was sixteen years ago. Eddard led his men into the throne hall, where a man sat on the Iron Throne wiping the blood from his golden sword, and that person was Jaime Lannister the Kingkiller.

At that time, Ed walked to the bottom of the seven steps of the Iron Throne and quietly looked at the monarch killer until the other party stood up, and on the ground in front of the monarch killer, lay the bloody mad king Ilistanglian. The Kingkiller stabbed his sword from behind into the back of the king, whom he had sworn allegiance to for life, piercing the king's body, and he killed the king.

The Kingkiller smiled in front of his king's corpse, "I'm just trying to see what it's like to sit on it, Eddard, and I assure you, you won't want to sit on the Iron Throne, it's all a throne made of iron swords, cold, hard, and cut ass." ”

Ed stared at the Iron Throne on the seven steps.

The Iron Throne was created by Aegon the Targaryen, the conqueror, three hundred years ago. He had his mount, the Black Death, Bellerion, melt away thousands of swords that his enemies had discarded when they surrendered, and it took him fifty-nine days to build the throne.

The Iron Throne is an iron chair full of spikes, sharp horns, and twisted metal, and the back of the chair is densely covered with sword tips facing outward, and the Mad King Iristanglian is often cut by the Iron Throne, and it is even rumored that the tip of the Iron Throne's sword has killed several people, such as Meg I, who stumbled into the tip of the sword and was stabbed to death on the spot.

The Iron Throne Hall is the main hall of the Throne Hall, and outside the main hall there is also a council chamber where the Imperial Ministers meet. Eddard Stark motioned for Jory Keso and the two guards to stay at the door of the council chamber, and the former steward, Adonis, respectfully opened the door for Eddard, who was stunned when he saw the people inside.

Four important ministers sat at the conference table and waited for him: Paisir, the great minister of the Imperial Palace, Petilberg, the chancellor of the treasury, Petyrberg the Littlefinger, the chief of intelligence, Varys, the chief of intelligence, and the minister of justice, Ram Baratheon.

When Ed set out from the town of Earl Harrowe, the Minister of Justice, Len Ribby Latheon, was still lingering in the town.

Eddard Stark walked into the council chamber, and Adonis, the prefect, immediately closed the door and shut himself out.

"Prime Minister, we're all waiting for you!" the Duke of Lan Li pointed to the table where the Prime Minister was located.

Duke Lanli actually returned to King's Landing before him? Did he know sorcery? He took a different path?

Ed didn't have an answer.

Ed looked at Grand Master Paisir, his position was to the right hand of the Prime Minister, and to the left of the Prime Minister's position was the King's seat, with the King's family crest: the Crown Stag.

Paisher was a veteran of four dynasties, who had served four generations of kings, and his smile looked very charitable, with white hair and a white beard, and a long beard that hung down to his chest. The national teacher's forehead and the top of the front half of his head are completely bald. His bachelor's necklace was the most metal piece Ed had ever seen, a heavy necklace of twenty-four metal pieces of the highest level that hung down from his throat to his chest. The necklace is made of every metal known to man: black iron and red gold, shiny copper and heavy lead, steel, tin and dull silver, brass, bronze and white gold. Garnets, amethysts and black pearls adorn metal chains, while emeralds and rubies dot the dots.

The great teacher smiled: "At your service, my respected Prime Minister, can you hurry up, if you grind any longer, I will fall asleep again." ”

"As you wish, Master Kunshi!" Ed forced a smile as he endured hunger and exhaustion.

Ed walked over, smelling the smell of fat powder on his nose, perfume on his clothes, and rouge on his face made him gag, while Petyr looked at him with a smile that was clearly contemptuous.

These people are some kind of play, Ed reminded himself, I can't believe any of them, and I have to remember that.

Duke Lanli wore a dark green velvet bodice with twelve golden stag embroidered on it. On one side, he wore a gold-woven half-cloak on his shoulders and pinned it with a jade brooch: "Lord Eddard, you're late!"

"Lord Lanli. Ed responded, "You're walking fast. ”

"I had to rush back overnight, but luckily, I arrived in King's Landing half a day earlier than Lord Eddard. Lan Li pointed to an urgent wax stamp letter in front of the Prime Minister's seat, "Lord Eddard, take it apart and see what is inside the urgent letter that my brother wrote to you." ”

Ed sat down at the prime minister's seat, and the letter in front of him was stamped with the majestic royal seal, a hundred thousand urgent urgent mail. Ned's heart moved, such an urgent letter, could it be related to Edmu's tully, Edmure followed the Magic Mountain to the West, something happened to him?!

Ed took a deep breath to calm his flustered mind. He slowly used his thumb to uncover the wax marks and flatten the letter, and the more he read, the more incredulous he became: "!" he cursed.
