Bran couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous as he watched the two of them reminisce about the seemingly true feelings of the two people. He was sure that his father's feelings were true, but this fat king who seemed to be bold and rude was not necessarily. In the original book, Duke Jon Erin of the Vale rebelled against the Mad King for his son Ned Stark, on the grounds that the Mad King burned Ned's father and brother, and wrote a letter to Jon Arryn asking for Ned Stark's head.

At the time, Ned Stark was not the eldest son of the Stark family and had no inheritance, so he either joined the Night's Watch or found his own way as a squire knight, and he chose to follow Jon Arryn in the Vale. and was adopted as a adopted son by Jon Arryn.

When the Mad King wrote a letter to Jon Irene, Duke Arryn united the Stark family in the North, the Tully family in the Riverlands, and the Baratheon family in the Stormlands to rebel against the Mad King for the sake of his son. So here's the problem, these four families, Duke Arryn is Ned's stepfather, and the Tully family is Ned's in-laws (Mrs. Catherine Stark was called Catherine Tully before she got married, and she was originally the fiancée of Ned's brother).

And the reason why Robert rebelled against the Mad King was that Prince Rhaegar kidnapped his fiancée, Liana Stark, well, it's all related to the Stark family, so why did you Robert become king? The reason given in the original book is because Robert's bloodline is closest to the royal family, and his grandmother, who was once a princess of the Targaryen dynasty.

In fact, the mad king Aerys II can be said to be a psychopath, the Targaryen family has no dragons, the mad king is moody, and the major families have long been rebel.

Those who have understood modern medicine know that the risk of marriage between close relatives is very high, and the offspring will have genetic diseases to a large extent, that is, because the inferior disease genes of both parents are the same, and the dominant genes are manifested, and the human gene is a very magical thing, the same expression gene segment at both ends, the gene will be selected for admission, the excellent gene will become dominant, and the inferior gene will become invisible, that is, many people often say that the child inherits the advantages of the parents. In this way, if human beings develop slowly and normally, they must be genetically excellent and evolve slowly. But until the modern age in which Bran lived, the human genes were not perfect. If a close family is married, and a certain expression segment is the same inferior gene, the inferior gene has no choice and can only be expressed dominantly. In order to maintain their heat-tolerant genes so that they can domesticate dragons, the Targaryens often marry close relatives. And Aerys II was a genetic psychopath born out of consanguineous marriage.

Of course, consanguineous marriage is not without benefits, high risk means high reward, if both parents are genetically good enough, they can also give birth to high-quality offspring, and there are many celebrities in history who were born by inbred marriage. For example, Albert Einstein.

It's far away, because the mad king Aerys II is a psychopath, it is too dangerous for him to be king, and there is no longer a dragon, of course the major families will rebel, and they are all using the experience of the upright Stark family as an excuse, but why did Baratheon become king in the end, it is true that Ned and Robert have a good relationship, and they are both the adopted sons of Duke Jon Arryn, but it is just right for Ned to change his name. Isn't this rebellion seeking justice for the Stark family? In the end, Robert became king and Jon Arryn became prime minister. Ned went back to the north, and Bran hehe, and now he still has the face to ask for nine years, where have you been? Bran didn't know if there was any correspondence between his father and Robert, probably not, and it was definitely not normal for a real friend to not be in touch for nine years. I was able to use Ned this time, so I came all the way here.

If the king was too busy with political affairs, there was nothing to say, but when Ned arrived in King's Landing, Robert was by no means such a monarch, drinking, hunting, holding all kinds of jousting competitions for fun, and even exchanging water with girls in special occupations, just not doing his job.

It stands to reason that this kind of alcohol-obsessed ruler should have no deterrent effect, but whether it was Cersei, who was later known as the Queen of Poison, or various careerists in King's Landing, no one dared to make small moves in front of him, and it was not until after his death that the ghosts, ghosts, snakes, and gods of all parties became in a commotion. This is not something that a mediocre king can do, if it is only because of the righteousness and orthodoxy of the royal family, it is obviously impossible, King Robert must have extraordinary power and scheming skills.

"Take me to the cellar, Ned, I want to pay my respects to my ancestors." Robert spoke to Ned after meeting the Stark children in turn.

"We've been on the road for a whole month, and I think the dead should be able to wait."

Queen Cersei didn't want to, she didn't want to go to the stark family's gloomy tomb to pay homage to her ancestors, she just wanted to take a hot bath and get some rest.

Robert ignored her, and motioned for Ned to follow, who glanced at the queen and followed.

Bran narrowed his eyes and looked at the back of the fat king, what a powerful scheming, between three words, he dispelled the estrangement between friends who had not seen each other for nearly 10 years, and then proposed to go to the tomb, knowing that the queen would not go, after all, the queen would not want to see her husband in front of the grave of his dead ex-fiancée. In this way, he gave himself a space to be alone with Ned Stark, could persuade Ned to become his prime minister, and fully provoked the Lannisters and Starks, who were already at odds with each other.

"Look, that's Jaime Lannister, the Queen's twin brother"

Arya said excitedly as she took Bran's hand

"Why didn't you see the little devil? Where's the little devil? "Arya is naturally fond of boisterousness, and she seems to be very excited at this time

"Can you please shut up?" Shansha next to her seemed to be disturbed and distraught.

"No," Brandt replied coldly for Arya.

"I'm sorry to bother you, dear sister, to see Prince Charming, my lady."

Bran really didn't want to pay attention to the brainless eldest sister unless it was necessary, but he and Arya didn't talk to her. What's wrong with her, there is not a single law of the Seven Kingdoms that is forbidden to speak, look over there, many civilians are still admiring the luxury of the king's motorcade over there, and no one tells them to shut up.

"Don't think that the king compliments you on your beauty, and you are fluttering, do you know what most of the beautiful girls in the world who don't know their own love are doing?"

After Bran finished speaking, he didn't wait for Shansha to answer, and pulled Arya away.

"Huh? Bran, what can a pretty girl do? Is it embroidery? I'm not good at embroidery, can't I be pretty? "Arya is like a curious baby with no heart and no lungs.

"Don't ask so much children, let's go, I'll take you back to the room first, and you will definitely see the little devil during the dinner."

Leaving Shansha alone and trembling with anger, unlike Arya, who is 13 years old, naturally already knows about men and women, and naturally understands that Bran is scolding her. She wanted to cry, wanted to sue her mother, and wanted her father to punish Bran harshly, but thinking about her behavior just now, Shansha was weak again, if he was punished, would he say what I did, Shansha thought about what she looked like just now, and couldn't help but blush a little embarrassed. Ah, the prince was so handsome, even more handsome than his brother, and Shansha remembered the wicked smile that Prince Joffrey had just ridden up.

The Stark family's cemetery is built underground, and everyone in the Stark family is buried here, this custom is very strange, the specific reason is unknown, Bran speculates that it is probably related to the stranger, perhaps because the stranger has the ability to resurrect corpses, the Stark family had to bury people in the tomb in order to prevent themselves from meeting their dead relatives with swords. In this way, even if the ghost resurrects the corpse of a loved one, the corpse will not be able to escape from the cellar.

"Tell me about Jon Erin, how did he die?"

Ned has always had doubts about the sudden death of his adoptive father.

"God knows, I just thought he was fine for the last second, and then, a high fever or something took his life, alas, I love that old man."

"Well, so am I."

Robert glanced at Ned, who was a little sad, "You gave him peace of mind, but I'm different, remember when I was sixteen?" ”

"Hah, of course I do."

"I didn't pretend to have anything else in my head except to smash people's skulls and girls, and he taught me right and wrong."

"yes." Ned looked at Robert with something different in his eyes.

"Hey, hey, what kind of eyes do you have, it's not his fault that I don't listen."

Robert was embarrassed, his fame had spread to Winterfell all these years.

"I need you, Ned." Seeing that the atmosphere had almost eased, Robert turned around and said to Ned Masase. "Come to King's Landing and help me, instead of staying like a piece of waste in this shitty place."

Robert's tone became serious.

"Duke Eddard Stark, I will appoint you Prime Minister of the King."

"I'm afraid I'm not up to the task. My Highness. Ned knelt down half-kneeling, bowing his head, everything was in accordance with the etiquette of the king, just now he was a friend he hadn't seen for many years, and now he was a prince again.

"Haha, I don't expect you to be competent or incompetent, and it's not an honor, I just want you to help me govern the country when I eat, drink, and play with women, and I, one day, can die in the belly of a bitch, that's my greatest wish, step on the horse, hurry up, let's not talk about this between us." Robert patted Ned on the shoulder.

"Since you helped me win that throne, you have to help me keep it. We were supposed to rule this country together, and if your sister was alive, we would be blood relatives, but it's not too late, I have a son, and you have your daughter, we can be a couple of in-laws. ”

With that, Robert didn't give Ned time to refuse, and continued to walk forward.

Ned shook his head helplessly and followed.

"Is it necessary for you to bury her here?"

In front of Robert was a statue of a beautiful woman, and the tombstones of each Stark family were lifelike statues.

Because the Stark family has difficulty naming names, the same name, maybe a few generations apart, will be used again, such a long cellar, if you worship the wrong ancestor, it will be very embarrassing.

So they chose to carve a stone statue for each deceased member of the Stark family, and put it next to the tomb, generally speaking, it will not be confused, of course, the family will inevitably look alike, and the carving is limited by the sculptor's craftsmanship, it will not be so perfect, and the carving will be more abstract, so many aristocratic families no longer use stone statues, but instead use the tombstone to engrave the date of birth and death to distinguish which ancestor it is, or if there is a little particularity, it will be engraved with life events, epitaphs and the like. But the Stark family is still a traditional family, and the way they follow is still the old way.

But even though the stone statue was much inferior to his own, Robert could still recognize it at a glance, this was his current fiancée, Lyanna Stark, known as the Winter Snow Rose, who was once recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Seven Kingdoms.

"She should be buried on the side of the mountain, with white clouds as companions, flowers and green trees surrounding her."

Looking at Lyanna's beautiful face, Robert said with some stupidity.

I have to admit that although legend has it that Lyanna Stark was not very happy with her marriage contract back then, Robert was obsessed with Lyanna. Later, although he married the current queen, who was also known for her beauty, he still couldn't forget this original fiancée.

"He's my sister, she's a Stark, and this is where she belongs."

Ned looked at the heartbroken Robert, and didn't know what to say. This sentimental wound may be the reason why Robert has indulged in lust for so many years.

"Once, I was his home." Robert suddenly gritted his teeth. "In my dreams, I was going to kill him once a night."

Ned knew who he was talking about, Prince Rhaegar who was married but still kidnapped his sister, and to be honest, Ned didn't approve of Rhaeggar's behavior, but ....... Ned let out a long sigh in his heart. "It's all over, Your Majesty, you've killed him. House Targaryen perished. ”

"No, not all of them yet."

Robert gritted his teeth.
