Without waiting for Han Xing to speak, Robert pulled Han Xing to an old man in his 60s, with all white hair, who looked thin but still in good spirits, with a long necklace around his neck, obviously, he was a bachelor.

"Bachelor Clisson, very knowledgeable, my father's most trusted advisor and friend, very nice person, has been in charge of me and my brothers since my father left." At the mention of his father, a tear glistened in Robert's eyes.

Following Robert's words, the old bachelor sitting in the chair smiled and greeted Han Xing, he was a kind and kind old man. It was he who took on the responsibility of taking care of the three sons he left behind after the death of Duke and Duchess Stephen.

He sent Robert to Jon Arryn as an adopted son, knowing that in order for Robert to become a great lord, he needed to be taught by another great lord, which was not something that he could teach as a bachelor. Jon Arryn is clearly the right fit, with integrity, a sense of honor, and a sense of principle, but also flexibility. As things stand, this is a wise choice.

"This is my brother, Stannis, two years younger than me." When introducing Stannis, Robert's tone was even imperceptibly cold, Stannis was already a 17-year-old boy, he had the black hair of the Baratheon family, but he had thin lips that looked unusually unapproachable, and it was true, he was a cold young man. Apparently, he didn't like to laugh, and when Robert mentioned him, he just continued to sit upright, staring ahead.

Stannis is a very controversial figure, and his evaluation tends to be extreme, with some believing that with his justice, severity, and meticulousness, he will become Westeros' most just and outstanding ruler since "Baelor Targaryen the Spearbreaker".

Opponents think that he seems to be too harsh, just like the reason for the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the right and wrong in his eyes are too clear, and he does not understand what tolerance is, in his eyes, merit is merit, and there is no such thing as merit and demerit.

This can be seen in the way he treats Davos Seaworth, the "Onion Knight", who rescues the people of Storm's End by smuggling into Storm's End by night when the defenders of the castle have begun to eat horses, dogs, rats, and corpses. This prevented them from eating corpses, and they held on until Stark's reinforcements arrived. After the war, Stannis rewarded the smuggler Davos and appointed him knight to his castle at Stormfurious Point, and if that were the end of it, Stannis's actions would have been impeccable and a happy ending.

But Stannis made Davos Seaworth pay for the first section of his left fingers, and he said to him, "This is to punish you for your smuggling!" Sir Davos Seaworth accepted, and he became a loyal fan of Stannis, admiring Stannis's justice.

However, no one else would have chopped off Davos's finger like Stannis, would he? After all, with Davos's great contribution, he is fully qualified to offset the merits and demerits, and there is no need to do this! Not everyone would be like Davos "The Onion Knight" Seaworth to thank Stannis for his justice and die for him.

In fact, most people would not appreciate Stannis's justice, but would condemn Stannis for his unkindness, but Stannis still went his own way, and he was like Robespierre the "Incorruptible", unlovable.

This is Stannis, a man who can't rub sand in his eyes, who is not affected by emotional factors in the slightest, and who completely pursues absolute justice.

From Han Xing's personal point of view, Stannis is indeed not a likable character, his indifference and playing card-like face are really unlikeable.

However, from an objective point of view, Robert must have misunderstood him, he is not as cold as Robert imagined, but this man is so tenacious and resolute to the extreme, so that there is no trace of emotion.

But unfortunately, his own coldness caused the tragedy of his own half of his life, no matter what he did, his brother could not really get Robert's attention, no matter how well he did, he complained, he hated Robert's injustice, but he did not know that all this was the evil fruit of his own sowing, and he personally ended Robert's care for his brother.

The people of the Seven Kingdoms did not like him, so much so that the nobles of the Stormlands during the Clash of Kings supported Lan Li at first, and it was not until after Lan Li's death that they had "no choice" to support him. A king who is not loved by the people, no matter what he does is right or wrong, he will not be supported and understood, how can he rule?

Therefore, he even insisted on converting to the "King of Light" to the point of killing Master Cresson, who single-handedly pulled him to grow up, and the old bachelor watched the idol of the Seven Gods being burned to the ground, and stood up angrily and said: "Is this how you humiliate the gods that your ancestors believed? What is the difference between that and dishonoring your own ancestors? ”

Stannis couldn't listen to the old bachelor's persuasion, so the old bachelor had to try to use poisoned wine to die with Merry Sandra, but Merry Sandra had the protection of the magical necklace, and the poisoned wine just cost the old bachelor his own life, and the old bachelor's attempt to wake up Stannis with his life and death ended up in vain.

You know, faith is a very important part of the ruler, as strong as the "conqueror" Aegon, did not finally give up his faith in the ancient Valyrian gods and convert to the seven gods, and accept the anointing and coronation of the archbishop?

Stannis is really good at making people dislike him, unlike Eddard, who is just socially handicapped, shy and shy, so he simply wraps himself up as cold and serious, as if he were ice and snow in the north; Stannis is as cold as "pig iron", and even if you stick your warm-hearted heart to it, don't expect to melt him!

"Brother Robert!" A little boy of 5 or 6 years old shouted at Robert, with black hair and a lovely face, like a little angel, and he was happily walking through the crowd and running towards Robert.

"Lan Li! My good brother, let me take a good look at you! O gods! He was just a baby when I left, and now he's grown so big. Robert picked Lan Li up, squinted his eyes against Lan Li's face and looked at Lan Li, his stubble made Lan Li "giggle". While teasing Lan Li, he said to Han Xing beside him.

"How? He's so cute! To tell you the truth, I was as cute as he was when I was a kid! Han Xing suddenly felt very shocking, after all, the current Robert can be described as a strong man like a "black bear", and he can't imagine how "cute" he looked when he was a child.

However, when he thought that Europeans have always been like this, cute when they were young, they will develop wildly when they reach puberty, and then they will become "rough men", and he is relieved.

"Bad Brother Robert, beard pricking, it hurts!" The little guy desperately pushed Robert's chin away with his hand, and said in a milky voice.

"Okay, okay, Lan Li dislikes Brother Robert, and Brother Robert won't tell Lan Li stories!" Robert feigned frustration and teased Lan Li.

As if all his love for his brother was concentrated on the little one, Robert had an almost endless patience with Lan Li.

So much so that later he even gave the Stormlands to Blue Rite as a territory, and Stannis was "thrown" to Dragonstone, and Stannis hated Robert very much because of this, but Robert is actually right! After all, Dragonstone is the domain of the heir to the throne of the era, just like the title of Prince of Wales in the United Kingdom.

Seeing that the two of them were hot, Han Xing found a place to sit down, ate some barbecue, drank some red wine, and just begged for a quiet place in the middle of the noise, and it didn't take long for the banquet to officially begin.

Before it began, it was Robert's speech, on the one hand, that he needed to "make an appearance" in front of his nobles, and on the other hand, that he planned to directly declare war on the "Mad King" and join the ranks of the rebels, and this banquet was his swearing-in meeting.

"Some of you may know me, some of you may not, I am Robert Baratheon, the eldest son of Duke Stephen Baratheon, now the Duke of Storm's End!" Robert began his speech, his voice loud and loud.

"My lords, I'm sure you've all heard about my being wanted by King Aerys, right?" As Robert's words fell, the nobles nodded their heads and replied in a haphazard manner, some of them whispering with their friends in incredible exclamations.

"I think you're all curious as to why I'm wanted by King Aerys, right? Just because I'm the former Duke of Winterfell, the son-in-law of Rickard of House Stark! Have you heard what happened to him? The nobles were silent, they had all heard of the crimes against Aerys, but rumors were as jumbled as silk threads.

"It all started with Rhaegar Targaryen, Prince of Dragonstone, who kidnapped my fiancée, yes, the fiancée of the Duke you swore allegiance to, and my father-in-law, Lord Rickard Stark, went to King's Landing to seek justice for his daughter!"

"But the King refused to return my fiancée, Lyanna of House Stark, and brutally murdered my father-in-law and his eldest son, Brandon Stark!" Hearing this, some of the nobles had already begun to feel righteous indignation, and they did not know much about the matter due to the slow speed at which the news spread.

Or, even if they had understanding, they wouldn't care about the life or death of a northern duke thousands of miles away, but if it was their lord, the father-in-law of Duke Robert Baratheon, plus allies, it would be different.

"The gods reigned, and King Aerys burned my poor father-in-law to death as if he were roasting meat, and forced his eldest son, my brother-in-law, Brandon, to be burned alive! and deliberately put a noose around Brandon's neck and a sword out of his reach, so much so that Brandon strangled himself alive in order to save his father. Robert recounted with tears streaming down his face, as if he felt the same way, and the nobles in the audience were also unbearable.

"Appalling! Appalling! There has never been such a vicious king since the conquest of the 'Dragon King' Aegon, he is simply a demon who escaped from hell! He doesn't deserve to be king! I want to avenge my father-in-law and brother-in-law, and I want to wash away the shame of my fiancée being taken captive by his eldest son! That's why I decided to raise an army against the tyranny of the Mad King! Robert's voice began to grow fierce and sonorous.

Some of the older aristocrats had begun to join Robert's shout, but the older aristocrats were frowning, apparently lost in thought, and they were far more poised than the younger ones.

"We're not alone! My adoptive father, Duke Arryn, has taken the lead in raising the banner of righteousness, and my adoptive brother, Eddard, the second son of House Stark, the new Duke of Winterfell in the North, has returned to the North to rally an army, and even Duke Horst Tully of the Riverlands has joined the Rebellion! Robert knew what the elderly nobles were hesitating about, and he decisively announced to them what his allies were, in order to strengthen their confidence and help them make decisions.

Hearing that the North, the Valley, and the Riverland had all joined the rebel army, those nobles immediately came to the spirit, joking, who wouldn't do arithmetic? 4 is bigger than 3, even fools can see it.

So all the nobles cried out after Robert, "Revenge! Enter King's Landing and remove the Mad King from his throne! "For the well-being of the people of the Seven Kingdoms!"

Obviously, Robert's speech was surprisingly effective, and it was expected that tomorrow's dispatch would go smoothly. Han Xing had never even found out that Robert had such a strong appeal and affinity, presumably this was the reason why he could become the future king! Of course, he is also very tolerant, even being able to eat at the same table with his former enemies, talk and laugh, and forgive their crimes, which is where his strength lies.
