"Please, Lord Lanli!"

The old man's earnest words sounded from behind him, and he turned his head to look at the former Prime Minister Jon. Arryn was now standing at the door of the Prime Minister's Tower, full of anticipation and gratitude, in fact, if it hadn't been for Lan Li's stop, he would have even wanted to send him to the exclusive tower of the Minister of Justice.

Obviously, the Prime Minister is in a very uneasy mood at the moment.

It's normal to think about it, at the age of seventy, he was almost poisoned not long ago, and the only heir is less than five years old at this time, and he is sick all day long, and it looks like he will not survive adulthood-

As a feudal lord, the Arryn family of Vale has now withered to this point, and as the head of the family, Jon. How could Arryn not care.

It's just that the old prime minister can't do anything about it in the past, after all, it's not a problem that can be solved by power or money alone.

Now that there is a new hope, it is naturally difficult for him to remain steady.

In this case, Lan Li estimated that even if he made some very excessive requests, and even exchanged this person's life for the new life of the heir, it was estimated that this old man might agree after thinking about it.

Of course, Lan Li would not make such a request, the Arryn family of Vale and Baratheon are allies, and the strongest thing that maintains this alliance is the father-son relationship between Duke Jon and Robert, which can be seen from the old man giving his only son the same name Robert.

It's just that Lan Li can't ask for nothing. In other words, what he asks for depends on what trading conditions the Seven Gods need.

"It's sometimes unreliable, but it's also useful."

After returning to his study, Lan Li pondered for a moment.

Naturally, there are considerations for exposing his power in this way, and he has already seen this kind of "specialness" by Queen Cersei, so there is no need to hide it anymore.

Second, his main thought was to find a reliable reason for his specialness, after all, he had done many incomprehensible things in the past, and it was only once or twice, and if there were too many times, even if he was among his own people, it was inevitable that jealousy would arise in his heart.

The unknown and mystery will cause fear in people, and fear for a long time will inevitably breed "rebellious" emotions.

At the same time, it is impossible for no one to find out about the abnormality in the old prime minister, and there will inevitably be someone who guesses him like the old prime minister, so it is inevitable that someone else will think that Lan Li's means are superb and omnipotent and then run to ask for help, he naturally needs to release a signal, that is, not just anyone he can help, or rather, he can't act according to his own wishes.

At the same time, even if you can make a move, there is a price to pay, because the gods in the sky demand so.

Of course, there's another reason for this, and that's to increase impact.

Lan Li believes that if he can really solve the problem of the weakness of the heir to the imperial prime minister, then it is impossible for the other party to think about what he says in the future-

Although he is the king's younger brother, even the king can't let go of his hands and feet many times, let alone him.

……

promised the old prime minister to "ask", and Lan Li did ask.

Treating a child's congenital illness didn't seem too difficult for the Seven, and his request was simple—build a shelter in King's Landing and keep it functioning.

Lan Li thought that this matter was not difficult, especially for a prime minister, but he did not say it immediately, otherwise it would seem that he would communicate too easily.

The old man didn't rush either, although he seemed to be in a hurry, but after his physical recovery, he had a lot of work to do, and he couldn't always pay attention to this matter.

The war in the north was in full swing, not only with the Prime Minister, but also with King Robert, the Sea Chancellor Stannis, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Tyrell, and Director of Intelligence Varys...... All the members of the Imperial Council are busy with this, and every time they meet, they are basically in a hurry, and the topic is not only war or war.

As a "good official" who has gained a reputation in the hearts of the people of King's Landing, Lan Li's task is to maintain the stability of law and order in King's Landing, or to keep the basic court of the royal family running, and to manage the prison and prisoners at the same time.

Lan Li didn't want to care about anything, the lords of the Riverbend were so troubled by him, and now they don't have the slightest second thought, and actively obey the Iron Throne's orders, Dorne was kept neutral by what he said, and now he is "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight".

Although the valley has not achieved much at the moment, at least after being "taken care of" by him, there has been no chaos, unlike the Riverlands that have not had time to do anything, there are already two lords over there who have defected to the Targaryens, and some remain neutral.

In general, Lan Li's actions made the Westeros continent basically remain united and stand on the side of Baratheon, and was not divided by the resurgent Targaryen family, which is actually not easy, because compared to the Baratheon Dynasty, which has only been founded for more than ten years, the Targaryen has ruled Westeros for nearly three hundred years, and it is actually obvious which side is more influential.

He has already done what he should do, and the rest depends on which side has stronger hard power, and at the same time, he must be more vigilant against the undercurrent under the bright side, and beware of all kinds of conspiracies and tricks.

Jon. Erin's incident made Lan Li more vigilant, and he was glad that he had secretly planted the power seed in his body before, otherwise Jon. Once Arryn is dead, it's hard to say what Vale's attitude is now - it certainly won't be as proactive as it is now.

Obviously, mere emotional perception does not allow Lan Li to perceive whether the people hidden inside and outside the Red Keep are good or bad, or that he can only perceive emotions directed at himself.

However, if others are not hostile or ill-intentioned towards him, then he will not find anything sneaky.

It is possible to read minds by entering the minds into the bodies of others, but it is impossible for him to check them one by one, not to mention anything else, there are hundreds of staff in the Red Fort alone, and he can't check them if he wants to-- mind reading is not omnipotent, and he needs to take the initiative to guide him.

Of course, there are too many people to check, but he can still monitor a small number of people secretly, such as the important ministers in the imperial council.

As the most important center of power in the kingdom, the Imperial Council is very important, and the seven people who participate in the Imperial Council are even more important.

The Imperial Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of the Navy, the Chief of Intelligence, the Scholar, and the Captain of the Imperial Guards are the seven members of the Imperial Council.

Lan Li grew up in the High Court, but since he became Minister of Justice, he has been in contact with Chancellor of the Exchequer Mace. Tyrelll's relationship has not been very good, mainly because the Chancellor of the Exchequer is the head of various officials in the kingdom, and the officials generally have a bad impression of Lan Li - because Lan Li doesn't care about their interests at all, he always takes them under his knife, and even when some small cases implicate the bureaucrats, he doesn't have the slightest leniency, and he can judge how he should be judged.

So Lan Li didn't forget to secretly investigate Tyrrell, silently, but straight to the point.

In addition, the Scholar and the Captain of the Kingsguard also need to be carefully supervised, because both are high-ranking beings who have been in high positions since the time of the previous Targaryens, and they also belong to the important ministers of the former Dynasty, as well as the intelligence director Varys.

After these people came into contact one by one, they were more or less secretive, but it was not a big deal, and then Lan Li found that the final intelligence director Varys was not simple......
