Chapter 0462 Humiliation (5,000 words, ask for subscription)
The throne hall, the meeting hall of the imperial ministers.
Jenny arrives with the Blood Wizard Dolty Quintina, her father Count Gavin Westerling, Zeligerda the Bull (Gri), Brienne Tas, and several guards, and Kingsguard Osmond Kate Black pushes the door open for Janie.
When Jenny entered the conference hall, Dolty, Gavin, Zeli, Brienne and others stood outside the gate with the guards waiting.
At the gate of the Iron Throne, there are two of the most elite Cregan hundreds, and several fierce generals are mixed in.
*
At the entrance to the Ministers' Hall are two Kingsguards: Osmond Kate Black and Baron Swain.
There are only four members of the entire Kingsguard: the captain of the Hundred Flowers Knight, Osmond, Baron, and Alex Oakhet.
The original Kingsguard Hound chose to side with the Clegon family in the Battle of the Magic Mountain, and left the palace after the battle, and now has fled north because of the night attack with the Brotherhood Without Banners, killing Tywin and his party.
Marin Tran, the former Kingsguard, was thrown into the Blackwater River by the Magic Mountain during the Battle of the Siege.
Kingsguard Alex Oakhet escorted Princess Messira to Dorne on a boat with a hundred golden robes.
There are currently only three Kings Guards in King's Landing: the Knight of the Hundred Flowers, Osmond, and Baron.
*
The door to the Imperial Ministers' Chamber was closed, and the Chamber was filled with Prime Minister Tyrion Lannister, Intelligence Secretary Kevon, Finance Minister Littlefinger, National Teacher Komoto, Justice Minister Mays, Kingsguard Captain Loras, and Sea Minister Wagner Garr.
Prince Oberon Martell, who was of grace and had broad shoulders and a dashing face, was also present, and he had not yet been conferred the title of royal officer.
Jenny sat in the place that originally belonged to the Magic Mountain.
Oberon stared at Janie with an unbridled and rude gaze.
Wagner Garr, the Minister of the Sea, was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by a look from Jane.
Oberon's gaze turned to an indignant Wagner, revealing a playful smile with obvious contempt.
The Prime Minister said, "Lady Jane, the city has been unsafe lately, with frequent fights, and unpleasant relations between General Clegan and Ser Donne, and I hereby decree that King's Landing will not allow such a thing to happen again, not a single one." “
"Yes, Prime Minister. "Janie was perfectly matched.
Oberon's eyes were fixed on Jenny's face again, obscene and obscene, deliberately humiliating. Janine didn't look at him, but at the Prime Minister and listened to what the Prime Minister had to say.
"Yesterday, the Queen Mother Cersei and Lady Olenna went to the court to calculate the date, and it was determined that the grand wedding of the King and Miss Margaery Tyrell would be held on the first day of the new year of the next year, and that it would be less than two months after the calculation, during which time King's Landing would remain absolutely safe, peaceful, friendly, and festive. ”
"Yes, Prime Minister. Janine was the first to speak.
At the conference table, Jainny alone expressed her support for the prime minister, and the rest of the people were listening, but Janie did not feel embarrassed at all.
The little devil who had done a good job of 'talking and swords' never expected Jane to cooperate with his work so much, he was originally worried that Oberon and Jenny would tear up, and at present, in King's Landing, the Martell family and the Clegane family cannot afford to lose.
If Martel loses, the king will lose Dorne, Princess Messira will become Dorne's hostage, and if the Cleganes are lost, the magic mountain is outside, and that is a huge hidden danger.
Littlefinger couldn't help but smile: Lady Jenny had won the fight, and the Prime Minister had come forward to ask for a reconciliation between the two sides, she was not the one who suffered, and it was wise to say yes.
The little devil continued: "Lady Jenny, the king's wedding time is approaching, and the people entering King's Landing will increase day by day, in order to reduce unnecessary friction, quarrels, fights, gambling, murder and other matters, King's Landing should not be inhabited by more soldiers and horses, and the Clegane army will evacuate King's Landing City from tomorrow with two thousand a day, and all within five days. ”
This was a powerful and meaningful move, and the Clegane Army could only deter the enemy if they were stationed in King's Landing. The king's wedding, the magic mountain and Madame Jane will definitely participate, once the city does not have its own army, there is a dangerous factor.
But if you don't agree, you are disobeying the Prime Minister's order.
House Tyrrell's army had already withdrawn half of it, and it was still withdrawing two thousand men a day.
The little devil has a small body, but a big head, and is a smart person.
Littlefinger smiled at Lady Jenny's answer.
Kevon, Oberon, and the little devil all stared at Lady Jenny, and the three of them knew that this was a very important step to kill the Magic Mountain: withdraw the Clegane army.
Mace Tyrell and Loras Tyrell also looked at Jenny to see how she coped.
The Minister of the Sea, Wagner Gal from the Crab Claw Peninsula, also looked at Janie, although he was not proficient in scheming and plotting, he also knew that this was forcing the Clegane army to leave King's Landing, and the breath was dangerous. If Lord Moshan returns, he will be alone, and his strength will be weak
Janie's face did not change, as quiet and calm as ever: "Yes, Prime Minister." ”
Jane's innocence made the little devil a little incredulous, she didn't even have a word, she agreed, and completely obeyed the prime minister.
Oberon leaned back, the little devil kept telling him not to underestimate Mrs. Jane, now it seems that this lady is not as powerful as the little devil boasts, the little devil told her to withdraw the army, she carelessly withdrawd, and she didn't even bargain.
Oberon was ready to come here to quarrel, and as a result, whatever the prime minister said, Jenny complied with it, and this fight could not be quarreled at all.
His gaze never stopped being obscene and rude to a lady, but the other party still didn't react, and didn't even dare to look at him.
Oberon is starting to get in a good mood!
Littlefinger was surprised, he knew that as long as the Clegane army withdrew from King's Landing, the safety of the Magic Mountain and Lady Jenny could not be guaranteed. But Jenny agreed without any reason.
Although the Tyrells were also withdrawing, the Queen of Thorns arranged for a thousand knights and two thousand soldiers to protect the virgin residence before the withdrawal (the data is true).
Littlefinger looked at Coben, and Coben's smile and flattery did not change. Although he is a great teacher, he shows humility, affinity, smiles and nods to everyone, and loves people kindly.
The little devil and Oberon casually exchanged glances, both of them satisfied with the outcome of the meeting so far. Oberon discovers that the little devil is a man who can get things done. The little devil admonished him, yes.
Shoot a man before a horse, and kill a king before killing.
The little devil continued: "Lady Jenny, I appreciate your cooperation with my affairs. He bowed his head slightly, and Janie returned the salute.
"Lady Jane, regarding the brawl between the Clegane soldiers and the Dorn, the Minister of Justice, Lord Mace, has found out that many fights were caused by the provocation of the Clegane soldiers, but the Sir Dorne maintained restraint and did not fight back, and the soldiers under the Madame killed seven Dorne soldiers, two knights, and wounded and disabled dozens of knights, knights and soldiers. ”
Jenny looked at Mace.
She had never seen Oberon.
The little devil also looked at Mace, and Oberon also looked away from Janie to stare at Mace.
Mace did not investigate the brawl between the two sides, and Janine informed the Tyrells through some information channel before ordering her men to beat them, and Mace was well aware of the city-wide beating of Dorn. The little devil took advantage of Mace's identity as the Minister of Justice to deliberately put Mr. Mace in the conference hall, and what his intentions were, Mace could see even though he was stupid.
Mace doesn't go to expose the little devil's tricks, the Tyrells and the Cleganes are already underground allies, and on the surface, allies need to give others the impression of discord to succeed.
Mace decided to accept this 'planting'.
"Madam, what the Prime Minister said is true, most of the fault of this incident between the Dorn and the Clegane Army lies with the Clegane Army. ”
Jenny didn't speak.
This kind of thing, admitting it is conclusive evidence of guilt, not speaking, not denying or admitting, this is the most brilliant answer.
If Jane doesn't say anything, if someone continues to speak, otherwise the room will be quiet and everyone will fall asleep.
The little devil said, "Lady Jenny, I suggest that Madame come up with a sum of money to compensate the victims who were killed and injured, and this matter will be over first, how about it?"
Janine still doesn't speak, doesn't say good, doesn't say bad.
There was silence in the conference room again.
"Madam, this is already the greatest tolerance of our Dorn, give money and compensation, and we will not hold the law responsible. Oberon said as he stared at Janie.
It was as if Oberon did not exist at all, which was the highest contempt for Oberon.
Oberon had been staring irreverently at Lady Jenny since she came in, and now took the initiative to talk to her, and he seemed to like to bring humiliation upon himself.
Jenny looked left and right, and the great teacher Koben was like a kind and kind old man next door: "Madam, do you want to drink water?"
"Yes!" said Jenny.
"How about I pour Madame a little cider for the bar?"
"Thank you, Great Master. ”
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure to serve Madame. ”
Cobain got up and poured wine for Jenny.
Since the little devil became prime minister again, a corner of the Imperial Ministers' Council has put a sweet cider in the river.
Cobain poured Jenny a glass of wine and brought it to Jenny's table, where Jenny thanked her.
Oberon hit a soft nail and chose to shut up.
The little devil said, "Madam, so be it, a dead soldier will pay fifty gold dragons, a knight will accompany one hundred gold dragons, the injured will pay ten gold dragons, and the disabled will pay twenty gold dragons." What do you think, Mistress Mace?"
"Reasonable!" Mace Tyrell agreed.
*
Everyone looked at Jenny again.
Everyone knew that Jenny was not the only one to say, 'Yes, Prime Minister,' and she immediately agreed to what she saw to agree, but she felt that there was a dangerous question, and she did not say anything.
Oberon stared at Jenny, a thin smile on his lips.
He played his hand at the glass of cider, which was not a dark beer, not a wheat wine, not a wine, but a lady's wine that the ladies preferred, with a sweet taste.
The little devil places the cider to drink after the meeting, as boiling water or other juice. If other alcohol is put in, some people will not feel at ease in the meeting and only want to drink, and they will get drunk when they drink it, which will damage the prestige of the important minister and the honor of the prime minister.
If the glass wasn't used by Jenny, Oberon would have invited them to his stone castle after the meeting, and before he knew it, he would have taken the antidote.
The onset of the poison is slow and the cycle is long, and Oberon has ample time for detoxification.
If it were Jeanne or the Sea Secretary Wagner, who drank from that glass, he would begin to feel unwell within a few days, then he would have a fever, then all kinds of pains, and finally faint from time to time, and he would have to suffer two months of living sin before he died.
Oberon is known as the 'Red Viper', and many people only focus on his excellent marksmanship, but ignore his other great ability: silent poisoning. When he traveled around the nine free trade city-states, he liked to trade with poisoners, and thus learned all kinds of dark tricks.
Oberon looked at Jenny with a wanton and rude smile, and he knew that it was pleasant that Jenny, the lady of the Magic Mountain, would die of two months of agony. Clegane will begin to withdraw his troops tomorrow and return to Dragonstone territory, and the beautiful Lady Jane will have a fever and miss the king's wedding in the new year.
*
Janie drank a great cider, but still didn't speak, only drank.
The ministers looked at each other.
The little devil said tentatively, "Madam, do you have any objection to the price of compensation?"
"Can I give me my advice?" said Jenny.
She spoke, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The little devil immediately understood that Jenny was not satisfied with the price. She showed her attitude by not opening her mouth: the price is high!
Oberon laughed even more!
He was in a wonderful mood to admire a dying man of unparalleled beauty, and this person was still pretending to be haggling, hehe!
"According to the compensation plan of the Prime Minister and the Attorney-General, I can also accept it, but the Klegane Army is already in arrears and can only pay IOUs. Jenny said.
IOUs?!
Little Finger laughed 'ha', and then closed his voice freely, and he didn't know who he was laughing at!
The little devil's face was embarrassed.
"It's okay not to pay an IOU, there are two plans for cashing coins, the first plan, according to the Prime Minister's proposal, a dead soldier will pay 50 gold dragons, a knight will accompany 100 gold dragons, the injured will pay 10 gold dragons, and the crippled 20 gold dragons, this money, I can only borrow it from the treasury temporarily, I can write the note now, as long as the Prime Minister signs and seals, I will ask the financial master to get the money. ”
Kevon's face was expressionless, and Master Mace laughed when he heard it.
Speaking of which, this money turned out to be from the treasury, that is, the royal family.
The smile on Littlefinger's face suddenly stiffened, and he couldn't laugh anymore: "Madam, the treasury has been empty since the time of King Robert, and because of the generosity of Lord Mace, he can barely maintain his expenses, and there is really no extra money. ”
Janine looked at the little devil.
The little devil forced himself to smile: "Madam, what is the second plan?"
"I'll squeeze a golden dragon out of the Klegane's salary and give it to the Prime Minister. "Or a silver deer." ”
The audience was silent!
That's where ...... Deliberately humiliate the Dornse!
Ever since Jenny entered the door, Oberon had been disrespectful to her. The wanton obscene gaze, the rudeness of staring at people, and now it was finally counterattacked sharply by Jenny.
Don't mess with Janie!
"Although there is very little money, no one lacks a golden dragon and a silver deer, but this is a conciliatory attitude and sincerity. Jenny said, "Great Master, can you please help me write a note for borrowing from the treasury?"
"It is a great honor to serve Madame. ”
"Then please write it now, it seems that the Prime Minister will not be satisfied with a golden dragon or a silver deer, so he can only borrow it from the treasury. ”
"Yes, ma'am. Bachelor Coben said.
He is only responsible for writing IOUs, and it has nothing to do with him whether the prime minister approves it or not, and whether the finance minister takes the money or not.
"I accept, Prime Minister!" Oberon smiled gracefully, deciding not to deal with a woman who was about to die tragically, lest he exacerbate the conflict with this unpredictable woman for no reason, in case she refused to withdraw the army...... It's not easy to do it against the Magic Mountain......
Thinking that the magic mountain and the beautiful lady in front of him would soon die tragically, this little embarrassment in front of him turned into a happy smile on Oberon's face.
The little devil was stunned, and the other ministers who were ready to watch the play were also stunned.
Oberon is also a character who doesn't play by the rules.
The Red Viper has a quirky personality and lives up to its name!
However, the matter was successfully resolved, and everyone was happy!
*
Jenny was sincere, solemn, and her eyes were sincere: "Your Excellency, can you do me a small favor." ”
"Madame, please. "The little devil feels bad.
"I don't have any money, let's borrow a golden dragon from the Prime Minister first, if not, a silver deer can also be used, I promise to pay double the interest to the Lord when I have money in the future, I swear in the name of the Seven Gods, I will never pay it back!" said Jenny as she looked at the little devil.
The little devil shrugged his shoulders and looked ...... Awkward: "As you wish, ma'am." He pulled out a golden dragon and handed it to Janie beside him.
Jenny took it: "Thank you, Prime Minister." She handed the golden dragon back to the little devil, "Prime Minister, this is our Cregan people's sincere compensation for the casualties of the Dorn, please bear witness, Prime Minister, please accept it." ”
Littlefinger laughed out loud, very harshly.
This is an attack by a red fruit that tramples on human dignity and humiliates human wisdom.
Janine is very belligerent, unforgiving, unforgiving.
Mistress Mace laughed too, laughing.
Loras Tyrell smiled.
Kaivon's face was expressionless.
Wagner Gal grinned.
Bachelor Coben smiled kindly.
Jenny smiled too, a faint smile.
*
The little devil aimed at Oberon, and he hesitantly handed the golden dragon to Oberon. The elegant smile on Oberon's face disappeared, his face was cold and hard, he didn't take the golden dragon, he suddenly got up, pushed away the stool, and strode towards the door of the hall......
The laughter of the retainers chased after him like an invisible whip......
Oberon pulled the door open with all his might......
Jane said lightly: "Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen, I recently heard a joke that it takes a few ...... to put a farrier on a horse No more, no less, exactly nine. One person works, and eight people carry the horse. ”
The ministers laughed!
