I can't guess it, but I can't guess it, but Littlefinger and the eunuch have seen so much of the world, so naturally they won't easily become the "old master" who was beaten to death by random punches. Once again, they unanimously chose a coping strategy that could not be wrong: respond to all changes with the same, make a fortune with silence, and wait for the rest to come.

Varys and Petyr didn't dare to offend Egger at the moment, not for him personally, but for the soldiers of the Land-Giving Army, but if the Night's Watch thought that they could fool them with tricks, he would be too confident.

After a pause, Iger spoke again.

"The marriage between the Lord of Varys and Aegon is to integrate the forces of the last two Targaryens, win over Riverbend and Dorne, and make the process of the True Dragon Dynasty's reunification of the Seven Kingdoms smoother, and there is nothing wrong with that. ”

However, Lord Petyr resolutely opposed it, because he was worried that after His Majesty married him, he would be controlled or overshadowed by her husband and king due to gender disadvantage, causing the power to fall and the queen's identity to exist in name only...... This is also reasonable. ”

Of course, things are not so simple, he knows the truth clearly in his stomach, and chooses to turn a blind eye because-if he really analyzes it deeply and breaks through the contradictions between the two sides and cannot reconcile this, then the excuse of mediation will not work.

"Both of them have great wisdom and experience, and they are both serving the Queen, do they intend to be hostile to each other and attack each other for the rest of their lives just because of such a disagreement of opinion...... Do you treat your colleagues as enemies and waste your precious time and energy in infighting?"

Putting the cart before the horse, indistinguishing cause and effect, and nonsense......

After listening to his call, Varys and Petyr were still in a fog.

Disagreement on Aegon's issue is just a small but inevitable manifestation of the conflict of interests between the two, how did it become a source of contradiction in Egger's mouth?

Is this trying to get around by talking nonsense? Varys didn't bother to guess whether Egger really couldn't see through it or was deliberately playing dumb, anyway, as long as the other party didn't mobilize the land giver or instruct Melisandre to force him, nothing could shake his determination to remove the obstacles.

If you want to play, I'll play with you.

"Then Commander-in-Chief, what do you think?"

Without looking at the smirk on the eunuch's sleek face, Iger shrugged his shoulders and replied: "Quite simply, Your Majesty and Prince Aegon are two living people, they have sentience, thoughts, and feelings, and their relationship with each other is by no means simply 'black and white' - either they will give up the throne or they will be mortal enemies of each other. In this age when the true dragon has withered away, there is no need for you to die or die, and we will all be happy if we try to find a way to make the queen and the prince take a step back, and ensure that your majesty can enjoy the benefits of an alliance with him, while minimizing the disadvantages of acknowledging his identity?"

Under the gaze of the two audience members, the night watchman continued to speak.

"After this idea was conceived, I did some research, and first discovered an important detail: Aegon had landed in Westeros before His Majesty, but he had not yet been officially crowned king, and was still communicating with His Majesty as a son of Rhaegar Targaryen, a nephew, a 'crown prince' rather than a 'king', and coexisted peacefully on the continent. The dining room became the commander-in-chief's personal stage, and he had no intention of observing the expressions of the other two banquet participants, taking care of their feelings, or waiting for their response, "I am a foreigner, and I don't know much about the customs and habits of Westeros, but in the place where I come from, this kind of political initiative to show weakness and lower my status to avoid strife is a strong signal of goodwill and goodwill." Just because of this friendliness, I think His Majesty should at least give Prince Aegon a chance to meet her and prove himself, and he deserves it!"

......

Varys was even more confused.

(Does this guy really think so, or is he pretending to be upset, but in fact he is deceiving himself?)

If it were the former, a living ally who commanded the strongest army north of Neckzawa would certainly be far more useful than a dead former commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch...... Or would you remove him from the list of "must be eradicated"?

Rao was also moved with his eight-clawed spider's judgment and determination, and for a moment, his murderous intent towards Egg was almost eliminated, but this weakness only lasted for half a second, and then it was smashed to pieces by the heart of stone.

He didn't have the heart or energy to gamble on what the Night's Watch Commander-in-Chief thought: the other side had soldiers, food, and territory, and real strength and power. This means that even if Iger really supports the queen in meeting Aegon at this moment, if his interests are not met in the future and he wants to regret his decision to prevent the queen from recognizing Aegon and marrying him, he will not have any overt means to counter him.

Instead of killing Littlefinger out of a momentary fluke and greed, I don't know when I have to devise a new plan to deal with this person who is as cautious as a turtle with a shrunken head, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to kill both of them once and for all!

The mind was decided, but the eunuch showed a smile of joy and approval on his face: "Who said no, I also persuaded Your Majesty like this before, but unfortunately I finally persuaded the queen to let go, and I was disturbed by the strange invasion of the Great Wall......! Your Excellency the Prime Minister is adamantly against it, so you can persuade him?"

......

Egg nodded, and turned his face to look at Petyr, as if asking for advice, but for some reason, an inexplicable coercion permeated the table.

Little Finger quietly swallowed and steadied his heartbeat.

(Is this guy really turning against the dead eunuch, or is he playing tricks on Varys in order to trick him into giving up his tricks at the upcoming Northern Noble Allegiance Ceremony?)

If it's the former, then losing an ally and adding an enemy is terrible, and if it's the latter, it's self-conceived and naïve to the point of stupidity, and he's a complete pig teammate - what kind of character is Varys, who can be coaxed into changing his mind by a phone call?

He pondered for a moment and came up with an incomprehensible statement: "If Prince Aegon is true, he is naturally qualified to be received by the queen." But the fact is that His Majesty has never heard of or understood him since he was born, let alone met him...... Nearly 20 years have passed, who can tell whether it is true or false, and what can prove it?"

"Mistress Varys rescued him from the Red Keep with his own hands, and Earl Clinton pulled him with his own hands, and I believe he is true, Lord Petyr. Iger interrupted the words of his little finger with a sullen face, looked down condescendingly, and his right hand moved to his waist as if at will, but happened to press on the hilt of the sword: "Whether it is true or not, Your Majesty knows it in his own heart, if you have to discuss this topic, then I am incompetent, and I will not be able to mediate this ...... It's going on!"

Petyr was horrified. He came from a humble background, and in his efforts to climb the ladder he had encountered countless more direct threats and intimidations than this, but he was rarely so truly intimidated as he is today. In addition to being forced by the other party's more obvious threat than Daenerys, the main reason is that it is clear - Egger really has the reason, motivation and ability to turn the threat into reality at this moment, and if he says a wrong word, his life may be lost.

This kid didn't want to do any "mediation" at all, but to force Varys and himself to obediently listen to him - even when everyone's allegiance to the monarch had not left the castle, even close by!

Rao was so well-informed that he never thought that people could be arrogant and arrogant to such a degree. And he had actually regarded this person as a junior brother before! Secretly smacking his tongue, he also secretly decided in his heart: no matter what Iger said next, the promise was that there was no need to take risks arguing with a madman before returning to the protection of the army of the Unsullied in the South.

"As you wish, Commander-in-Chief. Littlefinger shrugged, "I have no objection to the Queen receiving Prince Aegon, but where is the next thing you said earlier - 'the solution to the disadvantages of recognizing his identity'?"

"After seeing Aegon, does Your Majesty recognize his Targaryen origins and do you want to form an alliance with him...... We, as vassals, can only give advice, and decisions should be made by the queen herself. In order to prevent the loss and transfer of power from His Majesty, we, as the Queen's staff, should work closely together and reach a complete agreement with the outside world: whether Your Majesty and Aegon are allied or married, whether they are honored by the Queen or shared the throne to rule the Seven Kingdoms, the first Prime Minister of the new dynasty must be Petyr Berlis, and the number of the Queen's direct subordinates must also be more than half of the first batch of royal ministers.

......

Ho, is this a trick to play a stick and then a candy?

Having someone from the Queen's team in charge of the Prime Minister and the Imperial Court is indeed a good way to stop the loss of power to the spouse – ideally.

But how can the reality be that simple?

To put it mildly, what is the function of the prime minister, and what is the scope of the power of the Imperial Council, is it not the king above who has the final say? As long as he uses a little trick to set aside the first two, even if he is the prime minister for the rest of his life, the Imperial Council is full of queens, what can he do?

And think about it more seriously...... For many nobles, especially kings, the "wife" is nothing more than a tool used to stabilize the rule, give birth to heirs, and create heirs.

Full of slots waiting to be poured out, but Petyr finally resisted the urge to refute and criticize, and after a little hesitation, nodded slowly but without hesitation: "I have no opinion." ”

With the same thought, Varys smiled and made a look of complete convincing: "I'm afraid the other 'prince's hand' will not be very happy, but I know Lord Clinton." For the sake of the big picture, he will agree and make concessions. ”

The strange situation was formed: although all three of them saw the other two as a threat, the scene became peaceful.

"Very well, look, it's so simple to reach a consensus, why fight back and forth?" Egger's tone relaxed, but the hand pressed on the hilt of the sword did not drop, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, then the mediation will end here, and we will move on to the next topic—Mandalay, Glover, Leswell, Dustin, Tauha, Horwood, The Severn and other families have clearly replied that they are willing to recognize the queen as the legitimate ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, and the last remaining members of the Amber family have also appeared in the land gift, and are now under my protection, but the Kastark family has clearly declared that they do not support the queen...... In addition to these families who have already expressed their positions, Flinter's Finger and Widow's Hope, Old Town and Greywater Hope, as well as the Mormont family on Bear Island, have not been heard from for the time being due to the distance from Winterfell and the difficulty of communication. ”

"Be conservative and ...... in the end At least one of them in the north will be our enemy, and two or three will find excuses to refuse to take sides. He looked around and raised his voice again, "And my opinion on this is that this small group of people will not affect the macro fact that we already own the North, and the Queen and the Land-Giveaway Army can no longer waste their time in the desolate ice and snow here. For the sake of unification, we have to swallow our grievances, put aside the ignorant Kastark and some of the wall grass, and clean up after the war - go south first to conquer the other two-thirds of the kingdom!"

Iger straightened up, stretched his back, and swept his gaze over the two conspirators seated: "Who is for and who is against?"

......

So that's it!

Varys and Petyr, who had been in a state of confusion for a long time, finally felt a little more eyebrows.

The so-called mediation and the so-called solution to the dispute between the two dragons were all means to cover up people's ears...... From the very beginning, Egger's real purpose was to come up with this article. He didn't want the land-giver army to continue to eat horses and waste food and time in Winterfell, so he deliberately made the appearance of being unbearable and impatient, and forced Varys to not dare to create obstacles in the matter of the southern expedition by deterring and creating psychological pressure!

Petyr was loyal to Daenerys, and naturally would not object to such an apparently correct decision......; He had already used the time he had successfully gained by persuading the queen to subdue the north before, and had set up a trap for the two stumbling blocks. So, unsurprisingly, ...... They all nodded happily in agreement, expressing their support and support for the decision to start the southern expedition as soon as possible.

The mediation was successful, and the request for the southern expedition to be carried out as soon as possible was also satisfied, the stern look on Egger's face finally dissipated, his hand was released from the hilt of the sword at his waist, and a smile appeared on his face, he picked up the wine glass on the table, raised his arm and raised it high to the two people seated: "I know that the two adults are reasonable and will be able to make the right decision." Now, I apologize for the previous rudeness, and let us celebrate the successful resolution of the contradictions and misunderstandings, as well as the smooth conclusion of the important consensus on the southern expedition!"

It seemed that everything was revealed, but for some reason, Varys always felt that something was wrong, and he quickly reviewed everything that had happened since he entered the room to find out the details, and lowered his head in Egger's voice to look at the glass of wine that had been poured at the beginning of the luncheon.

The color is elegant, the texture is clear, but the aroma is rich and tangy, most of them are the best Qingting Island golden wines, and the smooth liquid surface reflects his plump and smooth face.

After staring at "himself" for half a second, a spiritual light flashed on the misty ocean of consciousness, and the octopusal spider suddenly understood where the wrongness he sensed came from.

Everything above has gone from a complete nonsense "mediation" at the beginning to a declaration of the Southern Expedition that seems to "reveal the true intentions" in the end...... In fact, it was all for this purpose: to distract him and Petyr, and eventually trick them into drinking the wine!
