Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 117 What happened in Westeros in those years

In the past year, the situation in Westeros has also changed dramatically.

When Dany was still a guest in Qarth, Robert the Usurper's good friend, Ed Stark, Duke of Winterfell, followed in the footsteps of her father and brother, and was "crazy" in the most humiliating way. Second King" Joffrey chopped off his head.

There is no doubt that the Stark family in the North is the absolute protagonist in "Quanyou", and the tragic experience of their family has always been deeply sympathized by the audience-Danni often brings them into their roles when watching dramas.

But from an objective point of view, the experience of their family is not too wronged.

Let's talk about Ed's death first.

Rather than saying that Ed died at the hands of Joffrey because of Robert, it is better to say that his wife and daughter partnered to kill him.

It is said that Ed Stark has low emotional intelligence and no political sense. In fact, he is very self-aware and understands that he is not suitable for King's Landing. When Robert went to the north to ask him to be his prime minister, he planned to refuse.

"Robert is a good friend of mine. If I refuse him, he will be furious and yell at me, but in a few days, we will make up again."

At that time, after holding hands with his wife, Ed told her this.

Ed and Robert grew up in the Vale of Arryn. They are both adopted sons of the Duke of Arryn, and they have a rebellion experience together. They can be called the best friends in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire.

Ed's judgment was actually correct.

But his wife is the most orthodox lady of the great aristocracy, and she considers the issue very realistically.

When she was young, Caitlin Tully was able to face the love of her childhood sweetheart, Littlefinger, with the most sane emotions. Now that she is a mother of five children, she can also handle King Robert's invitation with the most sane attitude.

She urged her husband to agree to the king's appointment for two reasons: first, you were good friends in the past, but now he has become a king, and you are a minister, and the power of heaven is unpredictable; second, when the child is old, it is time to talk about marriage Married, King's Landing is the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, a place where rich and powerful gather, and has more opportunities than the barren northern border.

The eldest son, Robb, is the heir. When his father is away, he must stay and guard the house. The third son, Rickon, is too young, only three years old, to leave his mother—Catelyn herself will not go to King's Landing.

At that time, there were three children who planned to go to King's Landing with Ed, the eldest daughter Sansa, the second daughter Arya, and the second son Bran.

The two daughters are looking for husbands (Kaitlin and his wife despised Theon and never thought of letting him marry Sansa), and Bran, as the second son, has no inheritance rights, and the future is worrisome-this is not unfounded, Ed's brother Ben Yang, because he had no inheritance rights, was reduced to working as a night watchman on the Great Wall.

If he goes to King's Landing, with the blessing of the prime minister's father and the king's uncle, Bran can at least become a real knight. If he is lucky, he might become the Kingsguard.

There is no doubt that Caitlin Tully made the choice that a good wife and mother should make.

Unfortunately, she was too ignorant of politics, ignoring the reality that King's Landing was facing a big storm, and her husband had no ability to avoid the storm at all.

Encouraging her husband to go to King's Landing can barely be done, but kidnapping Tyrion is too stupid.

Well, there is also a reason why Littlefinger is too smart. He made her have a super Mary Sue that "a man who loves me deeply will not hurt me. Even if I get married, he will continue to be a licking dog for me" (ps) Psychology, easily deceived Caitlin, making her believe that it was Tyrion who murdered Bran.

Here I have to sigh with emotion, Littlefinger is really a role model in the world of dog licking, and the family of the dog man and woman was ruined by licking.

Closer to home, although Tyrion is a dwarf and is not liked by his father, he is a Lannister after all. Caitlin tied him up and officially declared war on Lannister on behalf of "Stark + Tully".

This made Ed and the queen in King's Landing immediately form a life-and-death situation. Although his good friend is the king, Lannis's privileges are too powerful-Robert borrowed 300 million gold dragons from Duke Tywin, and the court's maintenance is almost impossible. Mostly by Lannister.

After talking about how the wife cheated the husband, let’s talk about how Sansa Stark cheated the father

After Eddard found out that none of the three children of Robert and the queen were the king's own children, he did not immediately report the matter to Robert.

He has a pedantic heart of integrity and worries that Robert will kill Cersei's three children like Tywin killed Prince Rhaegar's young.

So he secretly found Cersei and told her: I know about the shitty things you did, but I haven't told my poor but cruel friend yet, give you three days, take the children away quickly, and then we two Let's fight it out on the battlefield again!

When Cersei knew he knew, she killed Robert early.

Because in King's Landing, Ed's rights all come from the king.

It is said that after killing Robert, Cersei should immediately take down the Ed family, at least to control him.

But Cersei didn't.

"Game of Thrones" debuted in the first stage of the power struggle drama - "Ed vs Cersei". Compared with Rose and the others, these two people can be called rookie pecking at each other.

Cersei's palace fighting skills are full, but her court fighting skills are very trendy.

After all, Ed has experienced the "Usurper's War" that overthrew the Targaryen dynasty, so he has some knowledge and a certain political sense.

Seeing the tragic death of a good friend, the day after he gave Cersei the last notice, he immediately realized that he had killed his friend.

Grieved and remorseful, he decided to use his life to protect his friend's "Baratheon Dynasty".

At that time, Ed had already realized that he must die, but he didn't want his two daughters to die along with him.

So he held back and planned to smuggle his two daughters to the fast boat that had been prepared long ago. When they left King's Landing, he would fight Lannister alone to break the net.

Not to mention, in the early days of the king's murder, Ed really had the capital to work hard.

Because Renly, Varys and others planned to support him, even Littlefinger, who had secretly pitted him with blood all over his face, didn't want him to fall down immediately.

Those people did not support Ed's justice, but out of political balance considerations. Once Ed fell, the next king must be Duke Tywin with full skills in military, financial, power struggle, and palace fighting.

It's a pity that Ed rejected all the suggestions of those who leaned on him. The king's third brother, Duke Renly, had no choice but to run away. Varys never dared to see him again, and Littlefinger simply took refuge in Cersei. .

At this time, Ed is still bound to lose, but he has already realized: all friends are going to hell, am I still afraid of death?

It has to be said that if Ed is willing, his ability to hide secrets is still very strong.

Just as he kept Jon Snow's life from everyone, including the treacherous Varys and Littlefinger, he also kept his plans to smuggle his two daughters away from almost everyone in King's Landing.

Then his eldest daughter Sansa came out to cheat her father. On the night before she left, she secretly ran to see Cersei and told her everything about her leaving—the early Sansa was a typical aristocratic nympho girl, She loves the handsome boy, and Joffrey is so handsome, she can't bear to leave

Cersei wakes up with a start, and the next day takes Ed and puts him in a dungeon.

Ed's men were all killed, the Prime Minister's Tower was bloodbathed, only Sansa and the maid Jenny survived, and Arya was left on the street.

Ed had long since died, and was not afraid of being thrown into a dungeon, but his two daughters fell into the hands of Cersei, and he had to give up his honor for the second time in his life.

For his daughter, he confessed to the people of King's Landing in St. Baelor's Cathedral: he committed treason, and Joffrey was the legitimate king.

——According to the agreement with Cersei, when he surrendered and surrendered, Joffrey would let him put on a black robe and go to the Great Wall as a night watchman. her father's head.

Not only did Sansa cheat her father, she must also bear a large part of the responsibility for the series of tragedies of the wolf family.

How many stupid things did Caitlin do to save her?

Well, after talking about Ed's death, let's talk about other major events.

After Ed was imprisoned, four kings rose up at once:

Robb, King of the North, to avenge his father, has the North and the river, the wolf and the trout;

King Robert's cheap son Joffrey, the Crown and the West, the Lion;

Robert's second brother, Duke Stannis of Dragonstone Island, Dragonstone Island and nearby islands, the flaming heart + stag of the Lord of Light;

Robert's third brother Renly, Lord of Storm's End, Stormland and the Reach, the Golden Rose and the Crowned Buck;

In the Seven Kingdoms, only Dorne and the Vale of Arryn did not participate, but the Dorne Martell family had a blood feud with Lannister. Rhaegar's wife Elia was Princess Dorne, and she and her two children died tragically. hands.

Although the Vale of Arryn is controlled by Caitlin's own sister Lysa, theoretically belongs to Robb's side, but Lysa only listens to Littlefinger.

Among the four forces, Robb has the strongest power on paper, and the huge relationship network of "'wolf + fish + eagle (valley)' + deer" established during the War of the Usurper has not been completely broken - in the naive Robb and Kate Lynn seemed so.

But the turmoil itself was caused by Lysa's madness - Lysa killed her husband, but told her sister that Lannister killed him - "Eagle" had already left the alliance first.

When it comes to Lysa, I have to complain, Ed Stark’s marriage is like this: I married my sister-in-law, my adoptive father married my younger sister-in-law, and I became brother-in-law with my most respected adoptive father. I am very happy to have a kiss, but my sister-in-law is my wife's licking dog.

"Three Deer" Renly would be happy to continue the previous alliance, but "Second Deer" Stannis is a loner, and no one can guess what is going on in his mind.

While gritting his teeth, Erlu said, "I don't want to be a king, I don't want to be the son of prophecy, why do you force me?" At the same time, he quietly arranged for the red robe priestess to kill his own brother with a "ghost baby".

Well, as I said before, R'hllor, the Lord of Light, has two sides in one body. He is both the god of fire and the devil who manipulates the shadows. His priests have the blood witchcraft to control the shadows to kill people.

The shadow devil of the red-robed woman seems to be more perverted than the Shikamaru family's shadow secret technique - when the shadow cut Renly's throat, he was equipped with a full set of throat armor, a fine steel throat armor that could not be cut by an axe, the shadow was like a knife Opening thin paper generally tears thick steel plates.

Sanlu died before leaving the army, and was the first to receive the boxed lunch.

The "Crown Bucks + Golden Rose" alliance under his command was disbanded, the "Bucks" returned to Erlu, and Golden Rose became an outlaw.

After Erlu became the leader of the "Bucks", he not only rejected Robb's big alliance, but also ordered the red-robed woman to kill Robb with a blood witchcraft curse. Joffrey, Robb, and Balon, who cast a curse, all died unexpectedly.

　(ps: Littlefinger and Caitlin are childhood sweethearts, Littlefinger is a poor boy, almost being Caitlyn’s licking dog for the rest of his life—the girl Caitlyn in fantasy, not Duchess Caitlyn)
