I'm Going Both Ways On Game Of Thrones

Chapter 145: The Temptation of Power

Everyone is guessing who King Robert will have to replace Duke Jon Irene as Prime Minister after his death.

There are many popular candidates, such as the queen's father, the Duke of Casterly Rock, Tywin Lannister, the guardian of the West. This old lion has served as the former Prime Minister of the "mad king Aerys Targaryen Dynasty for more than 20 years. He is very capable of governing the country.

There is also the second brother of His Majesty Robert, who led the royal fleet to be stationed at Dragonstone, the Duke of Dragonstone, Stannis Baratheon, a prince known for his integrity, strictness, and toughness.

Although his character is not liked by many nobles, and even King Robert does not like this second brother who is so self-disciplined that he can't stand it, Lord Stannis is also very capable and is a popular candidate for Prime Minister.

Then there is another brother of His Majesty Robert, the handsome and sociable young Duke of Storm's End, Renly Baratheon. , In an attempt to encroach on the position of the former Prime Minister.

It's just that Renly is too young, so everyone feels that he is a little frivolous and playful. No matter how much His Majesty Robert loves his younger brother, he will not give him the position of Prime Minister.

I didn't see Sir Lan, and even his own job as Minister of Justice, he did a normal job!

Isn't it a joke that you let him be the prime minister directly and be in charge of the whole kingdom's affairs?

So, while Renly has a lot of supporters, there's not much hope.

In the eastern border of Lord Jon Arryn, there are no nobles with enough prestige to compete for the position of Prime Minister.

Hejiandi, um, originally the Duke of Hejiandi, Horst Tus, was also a very suitable candidate. He was old enough, and his two daughters were married to the guardians of the north and the east, respectively. The fish in the Deer Wolf Osprey Alliance, firmly supported Robert on the Iron Throne, and there is no doubt about his loyalty.

But the Duke of Horst was too old. It was said that he was suffering from a long illness and his health was too poor to be able to take on the important responsibility of the prime minister. He was excluded.

Excluding the Duke of Horst, the Riverland has no nobles who can compete with Duke Tywin and Duke Stannis.

Then there was Ed Stark, Duke of Winterfell, the guardian of the North, second in the Usurper Wars, or more staunchly anti-Targaryen than His Majesty Robert Baratheon.

Because Robert was only greened by Rhaegar because of himself, and Ed was killed by the mad king Aerys Targaryen, his father and brother, the hatred between the two and the Targaryen family was not at the same level.

Although, Robert has always believed that he was green, and the hatred of the Targaryen family was no less than that of his good brother Ed's eldest brother and his beheading.

Fangbo and Ed, who grew up by Jon Arryn's side, are close as brothers. When faced with the choice of the former Prime Minister, the king will definitely consider his good brother Ed Stark.

Donne lives in a corner, generally has a very low sense of presence, and no one can compete for the position of Prime Minister.

The Reach is even less likely.

As for the Iron Islands,

This pirate lair, which was swept away by His Majesty Robert himself 10 years ago, was not considered by everyone. After all, maybe the Greyjoy family, a family of thieves, disdain for the position of Prime Minister!

If people want to do it, they will directly call themselves the king, not better than a prime minister?

emmmm,,,,Although the Greyjoy family has been self-proclaimed queen for hundreds of years, it is generally not beautiful.

But the Greyjoy family said it was all right, I was stubborn, and the Drowned God who did not see our beliefs said that the dead do not die and will rise again, and the force is even stronger"?

This does not mean that as long as you can't die, then you will die!

They believe that one day it will be stronger!

Maybe it's a success? Right?

Anyway, the Iron Islands is a barren island, and it also produces some iron ore, which is completely a poor place.

Bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, and you are done!

Overall, there are three people most likely to win the prime minister's seat.

The guardian of the west is Duke Tywin, the prince of Dragonstone is Duke Stannis, and the guardian of the north is Duke Eddard.

Inside the Red Castle, the Queen's bedroom--

His Majesty Robert has died of his adoptive father and important ministers. He is in a bad mood recently. He usually stays at the major women's hospitals in King's Landing at night, using beauty to soothe the wounds in his heart.

The effect should be good, because after the king attended the imperial meeting during the day, he has not returned to the Red Fort for five consecutive days at night.

Queen Cersei, who was accustomed to her husband's lust for cups, ignored her except for a few sneers.

In the evening, learning that the King has sneaked out of the Red Keep again, Jaime sneaks into Cersei's bedroom again.

After some passion, the two snuggle up on the soft velvet bed.

"James, who do you think Robert will choose to be Prime Minister? Will he choose his father?" Cersei is also very concerned about who will be the Prime Minister. If her father, Duke Tywin, can come to King's Landing as the former Prime Minister, then her power will also be Even more prosperous, and even more confident in the face of his jerk husband.

"Come on,,, instead of thinking about that kind of thing, we might as well take the opportunity to have a good time and don't talk about those disappointing things!" James rested his head on his arm, his handsome and handsome face was languid.

He prefers martial arts and swordsmanship and the charming Cersei to court affairs.

Cersei's beautiful blue eyes gave James a fierce white look, and he had no hope for this younger brother who only knew martial arts and swordsmanship, but his mind was full of muscles.

She pulled the velvet quilt, the desire for power in her heart made her unable to resist and asked again, "James, just tell me, can my father be elected prime minister?"

James was full of helplessness, this sister is good at everything, except that (Li Haohao) is too strong and full of power, just as I told my father, he and Cersei should have the wrong gender, if Cersei is a man, he He must have handed over the title of Duke of Casterly Rock long ago.

In this regard, James is also very helpless. He really doesn't like those tricks and calculations. He just wants to be a swordsman and guard his dear Cersei for a lifetime.

Such a lack of ambition is also what Duke Tywin hates the most.

It's time to swap Tyrion's brain for James, and that's perfect. Duke Tywin often sighs like this.

"It's possible, but it won't be easy!"

In the face of Cersei's questioning, James had to talk to her about the current situation, "Robert has always been wary of our Lannister family, you are already the queen, if you let Dad come to be the prime minister again, I am afraid Robert should be worried, It wasn't him who woke up the next day sitting on the Iron Throne!".
