Chapter 218: Anecdote of King's Landing (8)
Lynn's thoughts drifted through the air and memories for a while.
Only then did he say to Milan, who was waiting beside him: "Send someone to release the news, and say that the Little Rose is in King's Landing, and her disappearance is the ghost behind the scenes of Queen Cersei, the new Chancellor of the Exchequer Rams, and the intelligence director Littlefinger Petyr. ”
"My lord, will anyone believe this news?" said Milan, hesitating.
"Anyway, you got it right, let the spreaders describe it in the guestrum's gossip from the Red Keep, the more realistic the better, and then you can send me a secret letter to Mace Tyrelll, Duke of the High Court, at King's Landing. ”
The House of Tyrells is one of the most important families of the Seven Kingdoms, ruling the Riverlands and reigning in the High Court.
The family crest is a golden rose that blooms above a verdant green field.
The family motto is: Never end
The Tyrells family can be called a typical local tyrant family, sitting on a natural geographical advantage, rich in materials, and second only to the Lannisters in terms of wealth.
Moreover, the military power of the Tyrells is also amazing, not only surpassing the Lannisters, but even losing to the Royal Fleet.
With such a rich and powerful family, it is not too much to say that they are fighting for the Iron Throne, but they are obsessed with marriage and cannot extricate themselves......
But on second thought, it was wise for them to do so, as they were the least senior of all the important families.
Marriage with the royal family, without spending a single soldier, can not only protect oneself, but also become a member of the royal family, the best of both worlds.
Such a family with young qualifications and a family emblem that reveals a hint of weakness is the reason why it has survived for so long among a group of dragons, wolves, lions, snakes, and eagles, and even more and more nourishing the more it lives.
It all started with the original Tyrells.
At that time, the family was not the lord of the Riverlands, but the royal family of the Riverlands, the Gardener's Family.
After the Battle of the Burning Plains, the Gardener's family was defeated, and Harlan Tyrell, the governor of the High Court, surrendered to Aegon I Targaryen and offered the city.
As a reward for his submission, Aegon gave the High Court to the Tyrells, who became lords of the Riverlands.
Later in the Usurper War, the Tyrells continued to support the Targaryens, but in the end, the Mad King was defeated and Robert ascended to the throne.
The Tyrells immediately surrendered to Robert the Victor as a sign of loyalty, and were forgiven but given a cold reception.
Later, Robert died, and Lanli proclaimed himself king, and the Tyrells quickly sided with Lanli, and promised the little rose in the family to Lanli.
Everyone knows the rest of the story, Lan Li is a glass, he doesn't like Little Rose, but he doesn't like Little Rose's brother Hundred Flower Knight, and the two are entangled for a long time, until Lan Li is assassinated, and the Tyrell family failed to bet on the treasure, so they can only switch to join forces with the Lannisters again.
In the Battle of the Blackwater, the Knight of the Hundred Flowers helped the Lannisters, and at the last moment, together with Tywin, defeated Stannis, who was in the city, and became the hero of the rescue of King's Landing.
With such a great achievement, how could the Tyrells let go of this opportunity, and they took this credit to ask for Little Rose to be married to the king at this time, King Joe the Great.
Some may scoff at the Tyrells' approach, believing that they are no different from wallgrass.
While this is true, Lynn can understand it.
After all, in a world of survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest, although their approach is not very decent, it is also a way to survive.
Moreover, it is precisely because of this judgment of the situation that their family has survived in the treacherous world and has come to this day step by step.
Due to the entanglement with Little Rose, Lynn plans to meet this family who knows how to judge the situation for a while.
The letterhead sent by Milan was quickly answered.
The Tyrells replied, agreeing to Lynn's offer for a secret interview.
The location is the Tyrells' mansion in King's Landing.
"Could this be a trap? Milan replied to Lynn with the contents of the letter, a look of concern on his face.
"The Tyrells have always been timid and fearful, and if the location is not chosen for his family's mansion, but is unexpectedly arranged in a seemingly safe place, then it is even more worrying. Lynn smiled.
Milan is still not optimistic: "But... It's still a bit risky. ”
Lynn realized Milan's prudence, and also realized that he was already a dignified guardian of the North, and he had thousands of people in the North behind him, as well as the various divisions of the Gripen Legion sent to his life.
The son of a daughter, he understands the reason why he can't sit down, and after thinking about it, Lynn nodded and said, "Let Lao Ba and Brienne dress up and go with me, and you can also arrange for someone to pick you up around the Tyrell family mansion." ”
When Milan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more relieved.
The Tyrells' mansion in King's Landing, located to the south of the city, is a three-story square building made of stone of different textures, each layered with horizontal corners, topped by a heavy cornice and a few carvings.
The windows are neatly arranged, with stone frames on the edges, and the tops are decorated with triangular or semicircular mountain flowers, and in the middle of the ground floor is a tall porch, and above the steps, there are also carved delicate triangular bay mountain flowers, with an elegant statue standing at the top and corner of the mountain flowers.
The entrance hall is a small rectangular shape, with plastered walls and plain floors, dark wood wainscoting at the bottom, and a cylindrical vault carved with simple checkered ornamentation.
The inner courtyard is square, surrounded by three overlapping pillars, and the ground floor is a wide continuous corridor with harmonious and light proportions.
The hall was the centre of life in the medieval mansion, where the lords ate and feasted, as well as where administrative or judicial affairs were conducted: a large rectangular room with a high roof, dark wainscoting in the lower part of the wall, and plastered in the upper part. The whole hall is simple and solemn, and at the farthest end there is a long high platform, on which the tables and chairs of the host and the guest of honor are placed. The surrounding walls are decorated with frescoes and elaborate tapestries.
A large chandelier hangs from the center of the roof.
The object of Lynn's interview today, Duke Mace Tyrellle, the guardian of the South, was sitting in a wide pavilion in the backyard of the mansion with a worried face.
He stared at the backyard gate with burning eyes, his face full of anxiety and hesitation.
Speaking of this Duke Mace Tyrellle, the guardian of the South, I have to mention that the status of this old duke in the family can be described as quite sad.
There is a sharp and poisonous mother Olena on the bottom, and a smart and clever daughter Margaery, this useless father caught in the middle, how embarrassing it is.
Although he was ridiculed by his mother as an "inflatable fish", he is also the lord of a city, the guardian of the southern realm, and there are many powerful vassals below, so in the eyes of outsiders, he still has a certain weight in the Westeros continent.
However, in King's Landing, he has almost no presence, and has become a comical figure.
The most impressive thing was that at a royal meeting, old Tywin asked him to get paper and pen for himself in front of everyone.
You know, in addition to the people of King's Landing, there were also the red vipers of Dorne, Mace Tyrell was also the lord of a city, and old Tywin was making fun of him.
But most of all, everyone present could see the ill intentions of old Tywin, but Mace Tyrell himself could not see it, and even went to get the pen and paper with some pride.
Lynn talks to such a seemingly comical duke, instead of going to the Queen of Thorns, who is really in charge of the Tyrells.
The main thing is that Lynn knows the Queen of Thorns, Olenna Redwin, who is covered in thorns and has a good mouth.
Compared with the charm of the smaller rose, her grandmother Olena's biggest characteristic is that she is "covered in thorns".
The daily state is to be scared of the sky and the earth, starting a fire and not even letting go of her own people, such as her unlucky son "Inflatable Fish".
She's been beaten with a lot of results, such as in front of Cersei. Calling her a slut Queen Mother, and asking him in front of Tywin if he had any experience swallowing swords, which is almost what it means to get a base.
Lynn had just slept with the precious granddaughter of this swarty woman, so it was natural to keep a low profile, and it was reasonable not to dare to confront the queen.
Therefore, a detour to find Duke Mace Tyrell, the guardian of the South, became the only option.
As for Little Rose's brother, Loras Tyrell, the Knight of the Hundred Flowers, this guy is basically responsible for being as beautiful as a flower, and it is useless to find him.
The most famous deed should be that he slept with his brother-in-law Lan Li, as the only heir of the High Court, he does not have the sense of responsibility and ambition that an heir should have, but he still has his sister Little Rose to worry about everything.
He was fragile in his heart, and in the end, he was even successfully brainwashed in the dungeon destruction of the hemp sparrow, and he didn't have any of the courage he should have.
For the sake of safety, this meeting Lynn brought the former Kingsguard and the beautiful knight Brienne in disguise, accompanied by these two knights with excellent martial arts, even if surrounded by the calculations of the Tyrell family, Lynn believes that he can win the opportunity to protect himself from the system.
