Genos Slint was able to become the commander of the garrison, which was actually an accidental product of a compromise negotiated by many forces.

As the management team of the largest city in the Seven Kingdoms, the King's Landing garrison, such an oily and water yamen, the royal leader, especially the local forces in King's Landing, did not dig into it, how could it be possible to let a civilian born as a butcher be the commander?

In the 300-year history of the Targaryen Dynasty, the King's Landing garrison has always maintained such a composition of "half of the king's recruitment, half of the king's family dispatches and emplacement", and the commander is generally a member of the royal family...... The royal forces are the king's direct vassals, their interests are closely related to the king, and the people installed are naturally loyal to the king.

After the end of the War, Robert replaced the Dragons on the Iron Throne, and all of the King's family became his vassals. In order to consolidate his rule, appease these nervous Targaryen ministers, and save money and effort, Robert did not make drastic reforms to the "traditions" left over from the previous dynasty, but turned a blind eye to the current situation of the garrison.

The new king was "frank and open", but under the weak heart of the royal leader, he "lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain", and he couldn't help but add drama: instead of fighting openly and secretly in the personnel choice of the commander of the garrison, as he had done in the past two hundred years, which made Robert look uneasy, it was better to take the initiative to sing a loyal hymn. They sent a representative to Jon Arryn to announce that the next supreme commander of the garrison, the commander, would be elected, and the princes would not interfere in any way, and the candidates would not be drawn from any of them, but would choose the commoners born in King's Landing, and let him be under the direct command of the new king!

The commander of the garrison was customarily selected from among the captains of the seven garrisons, and only two of the seven civilians were born, and one was killed in battle when the Lannisters broke through the city, so Genos Slint became the only lucky one as the only surviving and eligible garrison captain. After taking the throne, he relied on doing dirty work for the Wang family to clean up the mess, and soon won the favor of the new master, and since then he has embarked on the road of soaring.

Genos Slint always claims that he gets along well because he has "a lot of friends in the court", but Tyrion's simple description perfectly reveals his true colors: one of Robert's dogs. If it weren't for Robert's existence, what aristocrat would have been a butcher-born vulgar man? As he unwittingly offended a new interest group in the world, his "friends" who had collectively pushed him to the throne became his gravediggers overnight under Tyrion's persuasion, and with the nod and acquiescence of these bigwigs after taking Tyrion's "dividends", a storm began to brew in the whole city...... And the commander of the garrison in the center of the storm, who has been rampant in King's Landing for more than ten years, is finally coming to an end.

＊＊＊

While the garrison commander was in full swing, another confrontation and contest between the top nobles was also going on within the high walls of the Red Keep - the two sides quietly began to make internal personnel movements, the Stark cooks, butlers and soldiers began to take over the kitchens, warehouses and gates of the Red Keep, and the Kingsguards led a small number of Red Keep guards to gather around the king's house to protect the king. Although Cersei is the queen, she has no power to resist while Robert is still alive, and can only stay with her children day and night without returning to her residence, hoping that the children will be her shields and talismans, and the red robes of the Lannister family protect the prince and princess at her request......

There was an undercurrent surging up and down King's Landing, and those with a slightly more sensitive nose could already smell the smell of changing heaven. And it seems destined that now, the two struggles of the upper and lower classes have coincidentally and coincidentally converged on the king's "dog".

......

"Robert, who the hell is this commander of your garrison!" Ed sighed and threw a wad of paper in front of the king, "Look what he has done." ”

"What, someone wants to mess with him?" Robert has drunk less alcohol these days than at any time in the past ten years, and it is rare to be dissatisfied with the appearance of his face flushed, and he is quite majestic: "Don't look at it, it must be Cersei's woman's doing, she has now brought more than 100 red robes from the Lannister family to her side, if it is not for the weakness of the heart, how can this be? Just in terms of the number of soldiers in the Red Keep, we do not have an advantage, the training level of the Lannister soldiers is not low, if there is something mess in the garrison at this time, we will have no hole cards." ”

"Oh, Your Majesty thinks that the queen planned these reports?" I objected, and looked at the above contents, all of which were real-name report letters, and the whistleblowers ranged from the common people and merchants of all trades in King's Landing, to the princes and princes, and even the night watchman intervened. If the Lannisters could control all of them, I should pack up and go back to Winterfell right now. Ed recounted with a blank face: "Moreover, I can responsibly tell you that after a day's preliminary investigation, the contents of these letters are all well-founded, and do not look at all like a temporary fabrication. One of the incidents of robbing a people's girl was even bumped into by Arya, do you think my little daughter will be bribed and cheated on me?"

"Robbing people's girls? You like to exaggerate...... Slint is a fool, and at the end of the day, he is verbally molesting the girl he met on the road, and then taking some gifts from his subordinates, and at most collecting some benefits from those who do business. Well, forget it, I'd like to see ......" Robert grabbed the wad of papers, took it back and looked at it.

Although he said that he did not believe it, as he read through the letters handed over by Eddard one by one, the disapproving contempt on Robert's fat face gradually faded, and it began to be difficult to look at...... After reading five or six copies, the surprise and displeasure completely turned into anger. Without continuing to read, the King of the Seven Kingdoms snapped and threw the letters on the table: "It's just too presumptuous, is this King's Landing my King's Landing, or his King's Landing?"

"Didn't Your Majesty swear before, 'I know better than you what kind of person he is?'" Ed looked at Robert with his chest crossed, not surprised by his performance, "It seems that Your Majesty's understanding of the people around him is not as comprehensive as he imagined." Perhaps, Sixteen years ago, Genos Slint was really a fool, but after so many years, people will change, let alone be in a high position with the power to have soldiers as the commander of the capital garrison?"

"Well, I'll admit, this Slint has more serious problems than I thought, and I was deceived by his pretending to be honest in front of me. The anger on Robert's face slowly subsided, and he became suspicious again: "But don't you think it's too coincidental, at this moment when I need the garrison to be there the most, how did these reports just happen to pop up all at once?"

"Is it my fault? Shouldn't this be the job of your brother who is the Minister of Justice? If he had done something earlier, why would people wait for me, the new prime minister, to come to me past him?" Ed asked three times in a row, and sighed: "However, I can guess the reason why so many reports have suddenly come to my desk this time—the Night's Watch industry, you should know that you granted tax exemption to its creator not long ago." ”

"Hmm...... I remember this, I had a drink and said yes. Robert explained with some unpleasantness, "But since the words have been spoken, the reason for the confiscation is naturally not bad for his little tax." ”

"You've always been like that, but this time I think it's okay. The defenders of the Great Wall are facing an unprecedented predicament, and it is good to decide to solve the problem on their own, and it is not too much for the Iron Throne not to give direct support, and it is not too much to avoid some taxes. But the commander of your garrison is good, even you don't collect taxes on the industry, he is blushing and wants to get some oil and water, which is simply swallowing gentian...... Although it is not in accordance with the rules of the Night's Watch Legion, I have always thought of coming to me first when something happens, but who made the North the first beneficiary of the existence of the Night's Watch? I know many Night's Watchmen, including Egger West, who told people that Eddard Stark was a nosy man, and that he couldn't find a place to vote for the whistleblowing, so naturally all came to my side. ”

Robert's face was gloomy and he muttered, "Genos, this bastard, I'm going to have to bang him when I go back." ”

"Knock him well?" Ed was really surprised at this time, and even raised his voice a lot, "Didn't you read the letter I just gave you carefully, just such a person who made King's Landing a miasma, you still want to keep him?"

Robert felt that he was at a loss, and how dare he answer: "Even if you want to move him, you have to wait until Cersei's woman and his brother are done before moving, right?"

"What is it that gives you the confidence that 'this is a rotten person, but he must be loyal to me'?" Ed insisted without backing down: "A person who has no bottom line will never have a bottom line in any way, and he will never be trusted." I don't think we'll be able to carry out our plans until we put the King's Landing garrison in the hands of a loyal and reliable man!"

"Just you! Believe it or not, I will directly order the garrison to enter the Red Keep and arrest Cersei and Jaime, and then there will be no? At that time, you can change whoever you want to be the commander of the garrison, and you are willing to let your daughter Arya do it with you, why do you want to come against me!"

"Why do you arrest Cersei now? because of rumors that the two of them are in trouble?" Eddard couldn't stand the king's reversal of the plan he had agreed upon, "And there was no? When Duke Tywin came to the army with the brightest armor, sharpest weapons, and most ruthless mercenaries and troops in Westeros, you would call it 'no'?"

"If he dares to raise an army, I will let the Lannisters perish like the Targaryens!"

"Robert, you're not a kid anymore, don't talk this nonsense!" Ed finally got a little angry, "You just used your feudal power once in the Vale, and the vassals have no obligation to fight for you for a whole year! Then fight with Duke Tywin, what will you use to pay your military salary? Or are you so anxious to get rid of Cersei so that you can marry the girl of the Tyrells who has been hanging around in front of you and me in the Red Keep all these days?"

"Watch the way you speak, you're dealing with the king now!" Robert growled habitually, "I told Margaery Tyrell to tell her not to bother me with Robb, it was your son who was in a daze and wanted to ask me for a marriage to the Freys!"

"Yes, yes, it's me who didn't discipline my son well, so let's not mention it. You are the king and you have the right to make the final decision. But I have to remind Your Majesty that rumors are still only at the rumor stage, and as long as we don't get the evidence, it will always be a rumor!" "The princess's hair color is indeed a suspicion, but Ed has always been cautious - if this blonde-brunette problem had been investigated by himself through hard work, he would have believed that this is the truth, but now this "evidence" is forced into his ears by Littlefinger through rumors, and Ed is worried about the rebellious mentality:" I have no problem with your majesty insisting on doing what you want, but allow me to resign from my post before you begin your 'decisive and swift' plan of solution!"

"Okay, okay!" Robert hammered the table in annoyance, but there was still no way to take someone who was not afraid of his own anger, "You can investigate this damn Slint now, but remember, the next commander of the garrison must be one of our people...... Ah, you Yankee, you really don't know, I am sick to death when I think of those words outside, where can I get up and have another child with Cersei? If I die before you finally find out the truth, I must have been killed by you, and I will come to you to settle accounts with you when you go to seven layers of hell, remember!"
