Chapter 150: Power Struggle

"Arya just told me. Egg reminded Tyrion, "Slint was summoned by Robert last night. ”

"So what? I'm a fool with a king as his backer. Tyrion glanced at Egg dissatisfied: "I said you, you are also a legendary alien killer, can you be a little murderous? ”

"Say it. Arya couldn't wait: "Can I also participate?"

"What about you playing a game, it's a life-and-death power struggle between adults!" Tyrion glanced at Arya, feeling like a fool of himself with her insertion, but ignoring her couldn't do it, "Okay, give you a task, will you tell a story?"

"Of course!"

"Very good, go back and tell your father about Slint forcing Nina to date him, pick a time similar to eating, don't add oil and vinegar, you can tell what you know, let your prime minister father leave a bad impression of Slint first. Don't be too deliberate, don't let your father realize that I told you to say it. Tyrion looked serious: "We won't treat you like a child this time, but don't let us down!"

"Don't worry~" If it weren't for Egger always saying that she wanted to be a lady, Arya would have jumped up and made a military order.

For a girl who is only ten years old, Tyrion really can't talk about worry, but even if there is a problem in Arya's ring, it is not much trouble, so he simply doesn't think about it anymore and continues to command: "Nina, as one of the 'victims', in addition to managing the daily operation of the office in the past two days, don't run out, I will prepare a set of rhetoric for you, and take the time to familiarize yourself with it." ”

"Understood. ”

......

"Commander of the garrison, this character has no influence in the Seven Kingdoms, but is a key figure in King's Landing. If you want to simply kill him, a knife is enough for one person, but if you want to get him off the stage easily and safely, it will take a lot of work. These efforts can be summed up in one - to cut off the social relations of Genos Slint. Tyrion turned to Egger and squinted at him, "To put it simply, it's about preparing the forces of King's Landing, especially those who have a stake in Slyntβ€”the borrowed money will be returned sooner, the bets and bets will be stopped as soon as possible, and arrangements will be made to elect the next commander of the garrison, etc." ”

Egger hadn't been involved in a power struggle himself, but that didn't stop him from understanding Tyrion's point: "Got it, cut off as much of his connection with the power as possible, and let him 'politically and socially die', as long as this step is done, even if we don't do anything next, he is doomed." ”

"Politics and Social Death?...... of Interesting New Words But it's quite apt. Tyrion nodded, "You know, if you want to achieve this, you have to be the trend of the times." And the so-called general trend is that the opinions of those who have resources in front of and behind the scenes of King's Landing are agreed, and the organization formed by these people is the second master of King's Landing standing in the shadow of Robert. If you want to persuade these people to join the gang, there is no core power figure in the night watch industry like you and me to come to talk in person, just send a hand, but there is no door at all. ”

"But I don't know our big investors and backers very well. ”

"Indeed, you haven't met these invisible magnates in King's Landing a few times, and you rashly went to the door to ask them to help you get people, so let's divide the work, I'll talk to these behind-the-scenes bosses I am familiar with, and you go to some middle-level officers in the garrison to open a gap from them. ”

"Looking for a garrison officer?" Iger was a little puzzled, "How do you open the gap?"

"The capital garrison is not monolithic, remember our security captain Geros, the name of Genos Slint is very similar, but the two were enemies before leaving the garrison, and after Slint was promoted to commander-in-chief, he was so messed up that he resigned and left, and finally ran to our hands. Tyrion explained, "From him, I learned about the composition of the garrison, which is a very deep organization......"

Arya stared at Tyrion intently, with high interest: "Isn't it just to maintain law and order in King's Landing and guard the gates of the city, what else can it be?"

"It's a long story, but to summarize it simply, there are more than 2,000 people in King's Landing, of which 1,000 are from the Baratheons, the royal princes, and the big families in King's Landing, including soldiers and officers. Tyrion said, "This part of the people only listens to King Robert and their true masters, and Genos does not have much command. He knew this, and he didn't dare to clash with these people who were nominally subordinates, but actually had backers, so he could only send to oppress the remaining half, those who had been recruited from King's Landing and had no background, and according to Geros, these soldiers were all angry with Slint and had a long-standing grudge, wishing that someone would come and deal with him. ”

"I see, half of the King's Landing garrison didn't listen to Slint, and the other half hated Slint to the core. This guy is very easy to deal with. ”

"Don't take it lightly, if he doesn't fall for a moment, we won't win. ”

"The plan is clear and simple, and I'm fine. Egger was actually opposed to Tyrion continuing to stay in King's Landing at this juncture, but it seemed that he couldn't convince him to return to Castle Rock, so he could only follow his wishes and quickly accompany him to get Slint out of power, so that he could evacuate King's Landing with peace of mind: "What should I do exactly? Slint is doing us, not those big guys, why should people help?"

"Speaking of dividends, I'll give all the investors in the Night's Watch a monthly investment dividend - the money will be slightly higher than the real dividend. Since Slynt doesn't take this money, some people want it. After sending the money, tell them: Slint coveted the profits of the Night's Watch industry and wanted a piece of the pie, and after I refused, he held a grudge and began to deliberately sabotage and interfere with our production and operation, affecting the income of the Night's Watch industry this month, guess what will happen?"

"This trick is good, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, as soon as you say this, Slint has a bunch of enemies inexplicably when he doesn't know anything. Egger's mind spun quickly, and he understood the core idea of this power game, and now, all he had to do was take his task: "What do you want me to do, say it." ”

"It's not enough to just create a general trend, we also need specific entry points - real-name reporting and human and physical evidence. Tyrion said, "I'm a Lannister, and I'm not going to get ahead in this special time, so it's up to you to do that." Write a real-name report letter to Eddard Stark, and then, I'll go back and ask Geros to make a list of garrison officers in King's Landing that you can fight for, and you'll start paying a quiet visit tonight - we'll need some of Slint's subordinates to report it, and, most importantly, we'll be able to get the king, but we must do it cleanly, and we must not bring chaos to King's Landing, otherwise if we anasy Robert, it's all over. ”

"Okay, I'll do it now. It's not early, do you want to stay for lunch, look at the time, Margaery is almost there, you can get to know each other. ”

Margaery said she was going back to the High Court and would not come again. "She also told me to practice well, and that I would have the opportunity to teach swordsmanship to her distant sisters in the Bend in the future." ”

She wants you, Miss Stark, to marry into the Tyrell family, although her little female apprentice is smart, she is still too naΓ―ve after all, and Egg can't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

"Okay, this elf chick will have a chance to see you again, but I swore a poisonous vow to get rid of Slint in three days, and I didn't have that idleness...... Let's go back to the industrial park, you are in the city, opposite the garrison Dongying, everything beware. Tyrion shook his head, "That's it, I'll send ten people into the city in the afternoon to help...... It's definitely not enough to confront the garrison head-on, but it can prevent Slint from jumping over the wall in a hurry. ”

"Okay, you're out of town, take care of yourself. Egger fully accepted Tyrion's arrangement and command, and occasionally enjoyed the feeling of not using his brain, but at the last moment, an idea suddenly popped into his mind: "By the way, Arya, didn't Ah Kun ask you to find more people to practice swords, from today onwards, you will go to the training ground of the security team outside the city every day, and have played with several of your father's guards." ”

"Huh, so far away!"

Tyrion looked at Egger suspiciously, not understanding the purpose of his arrangement, and didn't want to ask much in front of Arya, but believing that the other party must have a reason for doing things, he helped: "It's only a little way, let's go far, let's ride a horse and see who gets first." ”

"Good!"
