"The reason the enemy hasn't been shaken by this is that they claim to have found Rhaeggar's son, Aegon, and Aegon's inheritance is above Viserys."

The bald eunuch in a pink robe was standing on the stone staircase in front of the entrance of the imperial conference hall at this time, waiting for the king to come to the meeting and talk to Lan Li about the new information, with a sigh on his face.

"If that's the case, then the Viserys in our hands won't have the slightest effect."

"Yes." Lan Li was noncommittal, "What if Aegon is dead?" ”

Varys was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "I'd think people are joking when they say that, but Lord Lanli is an exception - are you sure you assassinated that Aegon?" ”

"Nope." Lan Li shrugged: "That's what I said." ”

"That's a shame." Varys sighed, "If that little Aegon who popped up out of nowhere died, we'd be able to do much better." ”

"Who's to say it's not......"

……

The two stood in front of the door of the hall and talked amicably, each knowing what was going on in their hearts.

They were talking about Viserys, who had returned from Lanli's capture some time ago. Targaryen.

Normally, after the enemy "king" is captured, the enemy will be in turmoil, even if he does not withdraw his troops immediately.

However, it backfired, and the enemy army was not affected by this, and still did whatever it should. The Imperial Council couldn't understand this, but now they know the truth-

Because there are more suitable replacements to emerge.

Rhaegar was the heir to the Targaryen dynasty, and Rhaeggar's son Aegon was naturally superior to his uncle Viserys, so the prisoners in their hands were awkward at this time, and they could neither threaten the enemy nor restrain them.

However, Lan Li knew that the so-called Raegon son Aegon was not real, but an impostor. The source of learning about this is also very simple, it is the person standing in front of him, who looks harmless, the intelligence director Varys - of course, it is not what he said, but the result of Lan Li's "mind reading".

Lan Li's sense of Varys was not bad originally, and in the few impressions in his previous life, Varys, the intelligence director, seemed to be a good person for the country and the people, and finally rebelled because the protagonist of the original book, the Dragon Mother, set fire to slaughter the people.

After becoming the Minister of Justice, Lan Li didn't have much suspicion of this person, because every time he saw this bald head, he would run over and talk cordially with a happy face, occasionally providing some other people's little secrets or something to show his closeness, and at the same time, when Lan Li was on trial some time ago, he could feel the goodwill and favor that Varys had bred in his heart.

However, contrary to the impression, although Lan Li did not find his hostility towards him from Varys, this does not mean that Varys has no problem, or that he has a big problem - this person is a high-level spy.

The person Varys really serves is the Raegar son Aegon he mentioned before, or the so-called Aegon is a person he personally concocted, the purpose is very simple, naturally to fish in troubled waters, and then push to the top.

It was clear that Varys was an enemy.

Lan Li regretted this, but that didn't stop him from taking action.

So after the imperial meeting that day, a group of soldiers suddenly stopped the intelligence chief who was walking towards his residence halfway, and escorted him directly to the dungeon regardless of his excuse.

This caused a lot of panic in the Red Fort, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mace. Tyrells even protested that it was not lawful to treat a kingly retainer in this way without evidence.

However, before the operation, Lan Li had already obtained the consent of the former Prime Minister and his brother Robert, who had just received a message from Lan Li and was happily preparing to build a shelter.

The latter was skeptical of the spy's claims, but because of Lan Li's work a while ago, Robert did not stop it, but only claimed that he had to come up with conclusive evidence.

The head of intelligence is also an important minister in the imperial council, so naturally it is impossible to deal with it casually, but Lan Li does not think that anyone can keep quibbling and deceiving in front of his "mind reading", and this is exactly the case.

……

"When I heard how you interrogated those prisoners, I thought that maybe I would end up like that before long."

The pink-robed eunuch who was still chatting and laughing with Lan Li in the morning was now leaning against the wall of the wooden cell, and he sighed helplessly in the face of Lan Li walking outside the cell, "What a joke, even the gods in the sky are now running to interfere with mundane things?" ”

Varys's sissy voice was now gone, and his words were hoarse and rough, as if this was his normal way of speaking.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Lan Li, who was sitting in a chair outside the cell, asked.

"What's the difference between saying it and not saying it?"

Varys laughed when he heard this: "After all, he will be beheaded." As he spoke, he paused, "Or hanged?" My lord, do whatever you want, just for the sake of my colleagues in the past, don't put me in a cage and feed the crows. ”

Lan Li didn't say anything when he heard this, but after glancing at the other party a few times, he kept writing on the parchment with the quill brush in his hand.

The dungeon was silent as a result, except for the sound of pen and paper rubbing against each other, except for the crackling of torches. Varys in the cell was calm at first, but when he saw that the lines of black writing on the parchment under Lan Li's hand were getting more and more numerous, and the writing was basically in line with the facts, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then a wave of anger rose.

"So that's what the gods in heaven have arranged?"

"What?" Lan Li made a movement in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the other party.

"The mad king in your mouth has indeed killed many lords and nobles, but apart from the last madness, who has ever heard of him framing ordinary people." Varys asked:

"Your brother Robert overthrew the Mad King's alleged tyranny, and the result is that in just over a decade, the treasury that was originally filled with gold coins is now empty and can only be used to raise rats, not counting the debts owed by the Iron Throne outside. It is hard for me to imagine how His Majesty the Honourable Robert could have squandered all that much wealth. I've also been thinking for a long time, what can the Iron Throne do if a disaster like the Spring Plague happened in the Seven Kingdoms decades ago? The Mad King and Robert, who is really incompetent? ”

Lan Li listened quietly and did not speak. The other party seemed to have suddenly lost interest again, slumped back against the wall, and sighed happily.

"There is no natural king, even the world-acclaimed Prince Rhaegar is just a woman who cares about the overall situation, a woman who has already had a marriage contract, hehe, that's love? How many innocent people have died as a result? ”

With that, he shook his head, closed his eyes and said no more, as if he had nothing to say.

Lan Li didn't bother him, but feeling the emotions in his heart at this time, he also had the slightest joy of discovering the traitor, and after a moment of silence, Lan Li simply stood up and walked away.

At this time, the sky outside was a little overcast, and the sunlight was obscured by dark clouds, which seemed to be a precursor to rain, and after looking up, Lan Li sighed.

The other accused the Targaryens of despising Baratheon, but in the light of all, it was nothing more than disappointment.

Disappointment with this regime, disappointment with the world.

This made Lan Li can't help but think of the Mother of Dragons in her memories in her previous life, and the Wheel of Tyrants in her mouth.

"This world is indeed rotten and rigid enough......"

didn't continue to think about it, because Lan Li's mind suddenly moved, and he inexplicably felt that something had changed in his body, which made him decisively go upstairs and go back to his study.

Looking in the mirror, he found that in his attribute column, the sublimation that had not moved for a long time suddenly jumped from the previous 31% to 57%!

"What happened?"

Lan Li frowned and thought about it, but he didn't expect that he had done anything special before.

But then he suddenly came to his senses, for he hurried up with Bentobu, and was happy.

"My lord, I, I'm angry!"

"What do you mean?" Lan Li asked with an eyebrow.

Tobu opened his mouth to explain, but he didn't seem to know what to say, so after scratching his head, he suddenly stretched out his hand to signal, and Lan Li looked intently, and saw that his five fingers and palms suddenly released a burst of white mist-like gas swirling back and forth.
