Chapter 0898 - Take control of the Imperial Council and control the government
Bastard?
Rams Burton is an illegitimate child!
Jon Snow was also an illegitimate child, and although he was now surnamed Jon Targaryen, Sansa still didn't like him. That guy is just a stone, polite on the outside, tough on the inside, cold and hard.
Mother Caitlyn had no crush on Jon Snow. I don't know if my mother has changed now.
His father, Eddard Stark, did not betray his mother, he was such a fair and honest person, he was just a man who endured his mother's misunderstandings and responsibilities to his aunt Lyanna.
Jon Targaryen didn't come back to see them after he was reinstated.
Winterfell had been his home for fifteen years, and he had forgotten it so quickly?
"Can you do me a favor?" Sansa looked at Rams's embarrassment and confinement, she had never seen anyone so cautious.
"Very pleased!Miss Sansa!" Rams bowed.
"Help me to the restaurant, I'm hungry!"
"Yes, Miss Sansa. ”
Rams held out his arm to Sansa.
Despite his actions, Sansa could see his stiff movements and humble eyes.
He used to talk and laugh freely just now, but since he was stared at by his mother at the window, he has completely changed all of a sudden.
Sansa thought the boy was quite pitiful.
"Have you ever skinned?" asked Sansa suddenly. She saw the backs of Will and Arya riding forward again, and it caused a sudden rush of irritability in her heart. She found herself feeling like throwing things.
"Uh...... No!" Rams replied respectfully.
"The Horror Castle is covered in human skins?"
“...... Belch...... Won't ......"
"I saw your family crest, and I am not afraid. Sansa's back appeared in front of her eyes, and she said this to Will, who didn't exist. He wanted Will to see her brave side of being a skinner. In addition to Arya, she can also be brave. But she suddenly saw Big Gilly's face again, which filled her with hatred again.
"The skinners are just intimidating the enemy, but it's actually the equivalent of you coming here, see if I don't clean up your kind of warning words. People who warn others are often cowardly!" said Rams Burton.
He peeked at Miss Sansa and noticed that she was in a trance.
What was this noble lady thinking?
Missing a man?
Rams had a wicked calculation.
Sansa's stupidity and naivety did not feel Rams Burton's evil conjectures.
He wasn't afraid of Sansa at all, and he wasn't afraid of Caitlyn. What is there for women to be afraid of, no matter how high Sansa's status is, it is also a small piece of fertile land that helps men continue the seeds, there is really nothing to be afraid of.
"Skinning the enemy because of his own cowardice?"
"Yes, if you are not cowardly, you don't need to frighten the enemy by skinning. ”
Sansa paused and looked at the trembling Rams Burton, the bastard of the Castle of Horrors was very frank. Such a frank admission that her family crest was originally born out of fear, Sansa felt that such a young knight was different.
"Are you the heir to Earl Luce Bolton?"
"Yes, I am an illegitimate child, my mother is dead, my father's original wife is dead, I am my father's only son, and he had to give me the surname of Bolton and make me the heir of the Castle of Terror. I took advantage of it, Miss Sansa. I don't deserve the last name Bolton. ”
"You don't have to be so humble, the Targaryens have three noble bastards!" Sansa reassured Rams.
The two men entered the dining room, and immediately a servant came up to greet Sansa, who politely and carefully placed Sansa's hand in the servant's hand, and then bowed and withdrew. The servant helped Sansa to Caitlin's side, and Sansa noticed Rams's attentiveness and courtesy. Rams did not look like an ill-educated bastard, and his proficiency in etiquette and thoughtfulness surpassed the upbringing of many aristocratic teenagers.
It is really rare for an illegitimate child to have such a perfect etiquette upbringing!
Sansa sat beside her mother, who looked at him with a warning in her eyes not to approach Rams Burton in the future. Caitlyn had a gut feeling that the child was too humble and timid, giving a sense of treachery. Especially when he laughed, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, with Joffrey's shadow.

In the southbound procession, Petyr Berissie the Littlefinger and Will were the Imperial Ministers in the procession.
The two walked and talked, surrounded by Will's cronies.
"Prime Minister, have you decided on the choice of Minister of Justice?"
"Do you have any good talent to recommend and see. ”
"Minister of Justice Allister Florent. ”
"He is a boneless bureaucrat, who is strong and belongs to whichever side is strong, and has no backbone, loyalty, integrity, and principles. ”
"It's a good person to control, Lord Will. Littlefinger said bluntly.
Will looked at Littlefinger in silence.
"Now is a chaotic period of the situation, and only those who are spineless and willing to obey can be controlled. Politics must first be well controlled, and only when the political situation is stable can we slowly find good people to replace them. ”
Will was silent.
Littlefinger's words touched his heart, Allister, a person like Alister, with a slight threat, will inevitably take refuge in himself, and there is no need to worry that he will rebel, because at present, Will is the strongest. There was only one reason why he betrayed Will, and that was that Will had lost political power.
"Okay, but I'm not going to go for him. ”
"I'll go!" Littlefinger laughed.
Allister Floren was in the ranks, just imprisoned in an ox cart. and the Minister of the Sea, Sebastian Ellore, who he had single-handedly raised, was also imprisoned.
"And what about the Sea Lord?"
"The Minister of the Sea, of course, is a man who understands the sea, and his son is in our ranks. Littlefinger laughed.
"Davos Seaworth, Earl of Onion?"
"Yes, he who knows the sea manages the sea. There is no better man to be a sea minister than to sail a boat across the sea in the dark. Moreover, Davos was hard-boned, adhered to principles and laws, and was loyal to the royal family of Baratheon, and he was also the most valued talent of the previous king Stannis I, and if the Lord promoted him to the rank of Minister of the Sea, he would also be loyal to the Lord. Littlefinger said.
"Not bad. Will nodded.
"There's one important place left, my lord. "In the Imperial Council, as long as three people vote, a decision of the law can be passed, or a contradictory problem can be resolved. I am a man of great age, and Davos is a man of Her Majesty the Queen, but he is honest and trustworthy, and he will support us as long as our decisions are in line with the overall situation and loyalty. If we take Allister Florent in again, we won't spend a lot of time in the Imperial Council. ”

Chapter 0898-2 Take control of the government and install the Imperial Guard
"So who's going to be the intelligence chief?" Will said.
"The head of intelligence needs a man who is flexible, quick-witted, knowledgeable, well-informed, and selfless. A more selfish person like me is not suitable. ”
"I think of a person, but he has another identity. ”
"Oh!" Littlefinger looked inquiring, "Lord Will, don't say it yet, let me think about it first." ”
"You may not think of it, you have very little interaction with him. ”
"Is he on the Great Wall?"
"Not here!"
"On the other side of the Narrow Sea?"
"Not here!"
"In which of the Seven Kingdoms?"
"Currently with the Secretary of State. Will said, smiling.
"On Dragonstone? That's the little devil without a doubt. ”
"Yes, but he's still a royal descendant of the Children of the Forest. Will said, "I need him to gather the children of the forest beneath the Ghost Forest to unite with us. If he is on the Great Wall, it will be inconvenient for him to deal with the affairs of King's Landing, and if he is in the Red Keep of King's Landing, it will not be convenient for him to be on the Great Wall of Desperation. ”
"It's not difficult at all. Littlefinger laughed.
"Oh. ”
Littlefinger pointed to the sky above his head: "My lord, you have griffons who are free to come and go to the Great Wall and King's Landing, and if necessary, everyone will leave King's Landing to fight the Strangers." The little devil Tyrion Lannister is small and doesn't take up space, so you can take him for a ride, and it won't be a problem to go back and forth. ”
Will laughed.
"Prime Minister, the important ministers of the Imperial Council have been elected, and there is still a problem that must be resolved. ”
"What's the problem?"
"The Kingsguard. These are the seven people who protect Her Majesty and are familiar with all the secrets of the Red Keep, and there are still three places left, each of which is crucial, and I hope that the remaining three Kingsguards will be our own people. Littlefinger glanced at the cronies around him, there were more than 300 people, and it could be said that all of them were Will's cronies.
"Three Kingsguards, three Valyrian swords. Will said secretly. If the three swords belong to him, it is indeed necessary to control the situation inside and outside the royal family.
"Sir Barristan is a man of integrity. Will said.
"Integrity is the quality that can best be harnessed. Littlefinger smiled.
Will agrees!
"Rosso's loyalty and martial arts, Barristan has to admire. As soon as you propose Rosso, Barristan talks to him and competes, and he will find that Rosso is the knight he wants. Littlefinger said.
Rosso made a great contribution when he attacked the island of Skagus. His martial arts and courage are superior, and loyalty and trustworthiness are his life creeds. At that time, for a promise of Little Finger, he stayed on the Wuzhi Peninsula alone for several years, and lived by raising sheep and fishing.
"Rosso is good, but I prefer him to be around me. ”
"He stays in the palace, and the prime minister mostly stays in the palace, and they don't have any relationship with each other. Littlefinger persuaded.
"I'm going to ask Rosso. Will said.
"No need to ask, Rosso is a direct orderer. He is not close to women, and he happens to be a lifelong royal guard. Why can the Kingsguard only protect Her Majesty alone?When the Imperial Council meets, we propose to add a law that the Kingsguard can protect both His Majesty and the Prime Minister, and obey the orders of the Prime Minister and His Majesty the King, doesn't this solve the problem that the Kingsguard can only be loyal to the King?"
Will snorted, noncommittal.
If he doesn't express his position, doesn't deny or affirm, it means that he agrees. In the future, this proposal will have to be put forward by Littlefinger, discussed by the Imperial Council, and the Prime Minister will make the final conclusion.
"Among the Ash Guards, choose two absolutely loyal swordsmanship masters, as long as the Lord gives the order, they will definitely be willing to be the Kingsguards. In this way, out of the seven Kingsguards, we have three of our own people. Brienne and Hale Hunt are from Storm's End and Riverlands, and both are fine. The rest of Barristan is a man with swordsmanship and no political acumen, and it is not difficult to deal with. There is also a vassal of Storm's End, Brett Cullen, the King's Guard, who is difficult to support alone, and no matter how powerful he is, he is already negligible. ”
"Lord Petyr Berish, you've already figured out the government!" Will said.
"Give advice to adults, don't dare to work hard. Littlefinger Petyr Berish said.
"I am pleased with your suggestion that Allister Florence be reinstated, and that His Majesty and the nobles of the Stormlands will see it as a sign of reconciliation between us and the nobles of the Stormlands, which will be very satisfying to Storm's End, and to Her Majesty's satisfaction. Allister Floren is, after all, a relative of Her Majesty the Queen and her grandfather, and Her Majesty Shireen does not approve of us throwing Allister in prison. ”
"Your Majesty is young and kind-hearted, she will grow up in politics. Littlefinger Petyr Berishe laughed.
"Tell me what to do with Allister in the prison cart, and I'll order the Royal Bachelor to release ravens on Dragonstone, so that Ser Davos and Ser Tyrion will have a good day to come to King's Landing to pick up Her Majesty's carriage. ”
"Yes, Prime Minister. ”

The Iron People town in the North is very well built, and the Iron People live here, and many marriageable men and women are looking for people from the North to marry locally, or it won't be long before the hatred in the hearts of the Iron People will fade, and they will eventually be completely assimilated into the vassals and subjects of the Stark family in the North.
The southbound team rested in the town of Tiemin, which is also the jurisdiction of the Ancestors Wasteland, and in this underground, the central tomb of the Ancestors Wasteland is buried in the king of dragon eggs. It should not be said to be buried, it should be said to be protected.
Will feeds his golden dragon in his tent, which has grown to the size of a raven, eats a lot of cooked food every day, grows quickly, but has a very bad personality, and can be seen to miss his companion: the silver dragon that Daenerys has taken away.
The dragon is a creature with spirits, even if it can't talk to you, but you have to talk to it well, talk to it when feeding, whether it understands it or not, it needs this kind of care from its owner.
In the tent of the servants and servants, Count Allister squatted in a corner and munched on black bread, and after a short time, the others had fallen into shape, and seemed to have no aristocratic temperament at all.
Being stripped of his position as Minister of Justice and thrown into prison by the Prime Minister was too hard for Allister, and he finally realized very clearly who was the real king in this game of power.
He regretted that he had not seen the situation clearly, and he thought that the nobles of the Stormlands would be the greatest political capital when they gathered together and backed Her Majesty, but he was wrong. Even when Her Majesty the Prime Minister is not by Her Majesty's side, he is still the greatest political asset.
Allister, who was crouching in the corner and munching on black bread, was still shackled on his wrists and ankles. He was a poor old man who even the servants dared to bully him.
Suddenly, the servants quickly moved out of the way, and a man came towards him with a smile, and in the dimly lit tent he recognized it as Master Petyr Berish the Littlefinger.
Allister, knowing that Littlefinger had come to admire his misery, lowered his head and stopped nibbling on the black bread.
