Before crossing over, Egg often wondered how a family like the Starks, who had made a net profit in the plot, had survived thousands of years in the North and won the war against several other families for the title of "King of the North".

Now, as an outsider in this world, he has to take the time to look at things more deeply and essentially. Then, he gradually discovered that Eddard Stark's pedantic, lame and naïve behavior in the Game of Thrones was not actually the pot inherited by the Stark family, nor did it have anything to do with his own "immaturity" or "stupidity", but was destined from the beginning - Eddard Stark was not raised according to the template of a power player at all.

He is not an heir, but a "second son" who grew up in the valley.

In this era, in order to prevent internal family struggles, many large families will choose different ways when raising their heirs and their younger brothers: the eldest son and the future head of the family must not only learn how to rule and govern, but also know when to behave nobly and honorably, and when to give up some morality to protect the interests of the family...... Children who are not the eldest sons are brave, upright, and loyal, and they will be responsible for the elder brother in the future, not alone.

To sum it simply, the eldest son must be cunning, and the rest are simple, because it is too powerful and not good for the family.

Ed enjoyed the latter treatment.

At the age of eight, he was sent to the Eagle's Nest as Jon Arryn's adopted son to maintain the alliance between the North and the Vale, and as an adoptive father, the upright and noble Duke Arryn did help his allies raise him to be a "qualified second son" like the responsible chief ranger Bunyan Stark with whom Iger was already familiar.

There was nothing wrong with that, the problem was that Eddard's brother, Brandon Stark, was later killed by the Mad King.

......

The death of an heir is not uncommon in backward and chaotic times, and it is not uncommon for parents to pick another child out and immediately remake him according to the heir template - but what happened to Eddard was that his parent Rickard Stark was also killed by the Mad King on the same day that his eldest son died.

As a result, an "adopted son and second son", without a day of transformation and further study, suddenly lost his father and brother, and became the lord of the north and the patriarch of the Stark family. This in itself is already a fairly rare situation, and what is even worse is that the war of the retainers was provoked by this tragedy and broke out directly - Ed not only did not have his own parents to reform, but also did not have time to accept the elders of other people's families to teach.

Ed doesn't have any experience or wisdom to be in charge, and luckily, he's not alone against the Targaryens. In the hastily started war of the Raiders, he had the command and help of two old fellows, the patriarch of his wife's family, Duke of Riverrun, Horst Tully, and his adoptive father, Jon Arryn, Duke of Vale.

By the time the war was over and the dust had settled, Eddard was the oldest and tallest living member of the Stark family, and the de facto ruler of the North, who held all the power in his hands - no one was in a position to dictate him how to rule and transform him according to the model of a proper ruler.

......

So, he completely retained the honor and integrity he had learned as a second son, and began to rule the north. It's a fluke...... There was not so much intrigue and power struggle in the backcountry he ruled, and the second son was in charge of the house without causing any serious mistakes. So Eddard Stark not only adhered to his virtues, but also taught all his children to be qualified "second sons" - and what kind of stupid things Robb Stark, who was not educated as the eldest son, did after becoming the king of the North, everyone also saw it.

After humiliating the Freys, an important ally, they were unconscious, they killed the general Karstark, and participated in the bloody wedding unsuspectingly...... If Brandon Stark was still alive, how could the children he had taught do such apolitically uncommon sense?

Therefore, there are still people who want to say that whoever is stupid and naïve can be put to rest - just like the president of the United States who ran to the Celestial Empire may not be able to manage even a village, Eddard Stark is a qualified product born under the operation of Westeros society, but he was misplaced by fate and his unknown king brother.

Everything is the fault of the education of the "second son".

What Iger is trying to do now is secretly try to keep this pedantic and stubborn guy who came to the wrong place. There is no other reason - it is in his best interest to have such an upright and respectful of the Night's Watch and most importantly of all a fairly easily fooled fellow as Prime Minister.

"That's decided, don't play tricks tomorrow!"

"The night watchman doesn't speak!"

Sending Arya, who was elated and elated, got the promise, and Egger let out a long sigh: It is undoubtedly a very hard thing to help a person who can't help Adou. Thankfully, he ran into a dead mouse on his first move, and a clever rumor ruined his first opponent's plans, leaving him with time for something else before the next crisis.

Well...... When I go back to the hotel today, I will write a reply to the Great Wall. Now it's time to think about how to convince Commander Mormont to cancel or at least postpone the Ranger expedition and think of catching two ghouls and sending them south to open the eyes of these unbelievers.

He stretched out and walked with Tyrion to the outer room, where he found his new recruit, the second member of the Night's Watch office, "Ah Kun", sitting squarely behind a desk in the office lobby, looking at the façade of the office.

Egg rubbed his head, he couldn't figure out what to do with this guy who was holding garlic for a moment. If he resigned to himself today, it would be fine, for fear that he would not leave by his side on the surface, and secretly sneak into the Red Fort to do things...... If you get yourself in trouble, that's bad.

"It's closed, let's go. Iger said to Jacquen. He didn't dwell on it for long, since you pretend to be garlic, then let's be good at acting, when it comes to killing, I can't catch up with you, but when it comes to an actor's self-cultivation, I am anxious, but I also have a lot of personal experience. After saying this, he turned his head to look at Tyrion again: "Don't go to bed too early at night, I may want you to write a letter for me." ”

"You should get to grips with writing as soon as possible," Tyrion naturally refused, but he couldn't help but complain, "Pimping you all day, it's a lot of brains." ”

"It's hard work, and those who can work hard. ”

......

Jao Mormont was Count of Bear Island before joining the Night's Watch, and soon became Commander-in-Chief after wearing black, and has been in power ever since. For the current Iger, this is undoubtedly a leader and a big man who can only look up to for the time being, and if you want to convince such an old guy to change his mind, you have to use some methods.

After all, the commander-in-chief had never seen the combat power of the strange spirits, and he wanted to launch a ranger expedition to investigate northward, and logically speaking, there was no problem...... Since there is no problem from a logical point of view, then Egger naturally cannot dissuade him by reasoning.

Tut...... How do you get started?

Egg took Jaquin, Tyrion and his party back to the Albatross Hotel, and after thinking all the way, finally came up with an idea: since the reason is not easy to tell, then simply think backwards, use an unreasonable beginning, first use an unfair accusation to attract Mormont's attention, and then use a combination of soft and hard to achieve the goal of persuasion.
