Eddard Stark was neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Your Majesty, Scholar Kill is here, can you let him write the royal decree first?"
As soon as these words came out, Scholar Paisel felt sobbing and hurriedly said: "The criminal minister is willing to share his sorrows and sorrows for His Majesty, and he will do his best to die. ”
Stannis's thin lips were like blades, and his grim face was like the black rocks of Dragonstone, and he was indifferent: "Black Armor Guard, take down Paisel, enter the Black Prison, and be beheaded in three days." ”
Ruthless and never knowing what forgiveness was, Stannis's first business task was to kill Fellow Paischer. He is known for his stubbornness in the Seven Kingdoms, and he will never make any concessions when he decides on it. His elder brother Robert and younger brother Lan Li were reluctant to be close to him.
Paisel was immediately stunned.
Like a wolf, the black-armored guards came up and grabbed Paishel, whistling and dragging him away.
Paisher shouted forgiveness and Eddard Stark's name, begging for help.
"Your Majesty, as soon as you ascended the throne, you killed the great master of the Four Dynasties, I am afraid that the killing will be too heavy, which will not be beneficial to the new dynasty. Davos, the onion knight, stepped out of the queue and said loudly. He was emotional, his voice trembled a little, and one hand touched the lucky charm around his neck.
Eddard Stark said, "Your Majesty, it is true that Scholar Paisir is guilty, greedy, and corrupt, but for the sake of his merits in testifying about His Majesty's accession to the throne, let us first take his life." ”
Leave Paisel for now, he'll still be useful. - This was Eddard Stark's intention. Pissil has a lot to offer about Lannister.
"Ten days later, beheaded!" Stannis said categorically.
Because of Eddard Stark, he made a concession and changed three days to ten.
So far, nothing has changed.
Several important ministers of the court: Eddard, Varys, Petyr the Littlefinger, Tyrion, and Barristan, the captain of the Iron Guard, were all in a strange mood. Killing a Paisel didn't matter to them, but Stannis showed a murderous personality that made it feel like they couldn't get along with each other in the future.
"Take Cersei, put her in the Black Prison, and behead her ten days later. "This is the second order issued by Stannis.
Cersei immediately went limp, and Tomman and Misella burst into tears.
Davos was shocked and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, a living Cersei is more useful than a dead Cersei." ”
The living Cersei can hold Cersei's father, Tywin Lannister, hostage.
At the age of seventeen, Tywin Lannister became famous in the Seven Kingdoms for the Battle of the Nine Bronze Kings.
The most powerful vassals in the West, Casmet and the Tabek family, bullied the lord Tytos Lannister for cowardice and not only borrowed money but also rebelled.
Duke Tytos Lannister had no choice.
His seventeen-year-old son, Tywin Lannister, returned from the battle of the Nine Bronze Kings, saluted first and then soldiers, quickly suppressed the rebels, and cut down the two families without leaving the chickens and dogs behind. The Casterme and Tarbek rooms were completely destroyed and are still in ruins as a warning to others. The singer composed a song in honor of the event, called "The Rainy Season in Castelme".
Years later, the Farman family of Fairy City refused to submit to the rules, and Duke Tywin simply sent a harpist. When the castle hall sounded "Rainy season in Casterme", Farman immediately bowed his head.
Tywin Lannister participated in the Battle of the Nine Bronze Kings at the age of seventeen, and only two years later, he led his family to dominate the West again, and all the vassals of the West surrendered. His accumulated popularity shook King Aerys Targaryen, who was appointed Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms when Tywin was twenty years old.
It was also in the royal palace that Grand Master Paisher was completely conquered by Tywin Lannister's talent and decisive character, and willingly allegiance to the Lannisters. In the royal palace, the Great Master of the Three Dynasties volunteered to be a dog of the Lannisters.
Later, after Robert, Eddard, and Jon Arryn rebelled and won a decisive victory over the Trident, Paisel persuaded Aerys Targaryen to believe that Tywin Lannister was the King of Lychen, and the king opened the gates, and the Targaryen dynasty came to an end.
Davos the Onion Knight and all the other courtiers and nobles were well aware of Tywin Lannister's power, and on the surface it seemed that Stannis was sitting on the Iron Throne, but in fact, many courtiers in the hall continued to watch in their hearts, and did not really surrender.
Stannis announced that he had killed Cersei, and Tywin Lannister would inevitably use all the power of the West to attack King's Landing, and with Cersei in hand, he could blackmail Tywin in many ways.
Either way, a living Cersei is more useful than a dead Cersei.
Eddard Stark said, "Your Majesty, Cersei's incest is not punishable by death, and she has not yet been tried for the murder of the former King Robert. ”
Stannis's voice was like a sharp sword, cold, sharp, and unchanging: "In ten days, she can find a proxy knight and compete in a trial." Can't find it, decapitate. ”
The entire throne hall was suddenly full of discussions.
The two Blackarmers dragged the limp Cersei away, and Tyrion jumped off the table, giving Eddard Stark a deep look and then Starnis, who opened the hands of the two Blackarmers and strode out of the throne hall and into the dungeon.
Davos said, "Your Majesty, if the army of the Western Frontier storms King's Landing, we will only have 3,000 Black-Armored troops and 6,000 King's Landing garrisons. ”
The voice of the red-robed woman resounded pleasantly, resounding throughout the audience: "Sir Davos, the Lord of Light can provide an endless army. Believe in the Lord of Light, who is the only true god and Stannis is the only true king. She drew Stannis's sword, and the sword immediately glowed with multicolored light, red, orange, yellow, green, and green, flowing endlessly, beautifully, "The sword of the Lightbringer is here, and the rebel and the puppet king will be beheaded by this sword." ”
There was silence in the throne hall.
This hand of lightsaber, except for the Black Armor Army and Davos, no one else has ever seen the other courtiers and noble knights.
Everyone's hearts were suddenly shocked.
Eddard Stark sighed slightly as he saw that Melisandre, the red-robed woman, had been led astray by her misinterpretation of the flame scene, and walked farther and farther.
He knew that Stannis wasn't the fire and ice that Melisandre was looking for. Stannis is neither ice nor fire.
The sight Melisandre saw in the flames on the Jade Sea Island was not Stannis, there was only one Dragonstone, and Stannis was the Duke of Dragonstone, and Melisandre thought that the person whose flames led her to Dragonstone was Stannis, the Duke of Dragonstone.
Actually, not at all.
The founder of Baratheon's family was Auris Baratheon, the illegitimate son of Aegon Targaryen the Conqueror (the first dragon king). His real name is actually Orris Targaryen.
During the three hundred years that the Targaryens ruled Westeros, they also intermarried with the Baratheon family many times (in fact, the two families are one bloodline), so the Baratheon family has true dragon blood to deceive Melisandre's blood spell verification.
Melisandre wants to determine if Stannis has true dragon blood, and she will verify it with Stannis's blood or the blood of his children. The results were verified that the energy in the blood of Stannis's youngest daughter, Shireen, can produce the shadow of murder. (There is foreshadowing and related descriptions in the previous chapters.) )
From this, she confirms that Stannis is the fire she is looking for.
However, Eddard Stark, who had crossed over, knew that the true oracle that Melisandre saw in the flames was that the dragon crystal was buried under Dragonstone Island in the flames. The dragon crystal is forged by earth and fire, and is the nemesis of the strange ghosts and ghouls created by the ancient cold gods of the north.
She traveled thousands of miles to Dragonstone, and the fire she was looking for was not Stannis, but the dragon crystal underground.
The true dragon bloodline, that is, the heir in line to the throne, the Human Emperor, is not Stannis. Her prophetic flame hadn't shown anything further yet, and she had made a mistake in the first step.
Melisandre is the only one besides Eddard Stark who is now trying to deal with the cold gods of the North - the night is approaching, and the demons are coming, and no one is immune.
It's time to right Melisandre's mistakes, and it's time for Stannis to make good on his promise to take Dragonstone into his pocket.
The mining of dragon crystal cannot be delayed.
