As the quasi-former prime minister, Duke of Valley Jon Elin has been very busy recently.

There are many things to be considered when the new king is crowned, involving aristocratic classes of all sizes. The reconstruction of the Red Fort is also an issue that must be paid attention to.

Reconstruction is easy to say, but in fact there are many factors to consider.

Basic equipment such as stonemasons and building materials must be stored as soon as possible, how much need to be rebuilt, whether all buildings need to be stripped away, and whether they need to be redesigned, etc.

The various levels that maintain the operation of the country need to be re-arranged. There are only two Royal Guards with a full capacity of seven. The seats in the imperial meetings for discussing and deciding on the government affairs of the Kingdom are not even full.

Shortly after the war ended, everything was in vain.

Then Jon Elling also needs to consider the mood of the quasi-king.

The death of his fiancée has a great blow to Robert. Although through uninterrupted persuasion, this man no longer had the idea of ​​not marrying for life a while ago, and gradually no longer rejected the marriage with the Western Region, but he was not honest.

For example, recently he has become addicted to drinking and browsing in brothels.

Originally, these were enough to upset Old Jon, but for some reason, news of the incest of the Lannister family siblings was heard in the city.

This kind of thing is at most something that makes him sigh, but Lannister is different. He finally persuaded the quasi-king king to accept the marriage, but now this incident really makes him feel the urge to curse his mother to the sky.

So when facing the black-haired young man who ran over excitedly after hearing the news, he replied in a suppressed and angry manner: "I will arrange for the nun to check whether the Duke Tywin's daughter is still chaste before getting engaged, but the children of aristocratic began to learn horse riding since childhood, and some places may be affected, so this does not serve as a proof of whether she is still a virgin."

The sunlight shone in from the round window behind him, covering the lonely old man in the imperial conference hall. At this time, he was sitting in the prime minister's chair holding a quill to sign a document, and did not stand up while speaking.

Logically speaking, he should not be so neglected to a king, but who said that the person in front of him was his adopted son? At the same time, the other party was not really crowned, which made him not have so much etiquette to take into account.

Robert didn't care about this at all, but he was obviously not satisfied with the other party's words, so he pulled the chair next to him and sat on it, saying disgustedly: "Then there is no need to check it. Can I marry Cersei? Hell, the women who want to marry the king in the seven kingdoms can line up from the Great Wall to the King's Landing Flea Bed."

The old man who listened to this willful speech unconsciously pinched the quill in his hand, and all the annoyance that had been suppressed for a long time seemed to be all over the head at this moment, so he replied in a mean tone: "I want to remind you, Robert, our marriage with Lannister has never been to find you a satisfactory wife, so even if this matter is true, you have to marry her!"

"So the dignified king can only marry a bitch wife who was incest and had an abortion with his younger brother? Then ask everyone in the Qi Kingdom to laugh at me?" The black-haired young man laughed.

"What do you think I am? I'm so useless? Gods save me. If the result of winning the battle is a vulnerable one, then I might as well run to the Crazy King at the beginning-"

"I think you are a king!"

The old man severely interrupted the other party: "A king who can bring good luck to this country and end the tyranny of the Crazy King!"

"I never wanted to be a king, don't you know? I just-"

"If you don't want to, you can turn around and leave now!"

The bald old man with a hooked nose raised his voice and said, "I will go to Dragonstone Island to welcome Queen Reira and Prince Viserys back, and then follow the tradition to support Prince Viserys to become the new king!"

These words made Robert's face flush instantly. He leaned over the table with both hands and stared at each other tightly, gritting his teeth and said, "Don't think of doing that! Jon, I said, I will kill all the people in the Targaryen family with my own hands, listen to me, it's all! I want them to die like dragons!"

The man in front of him was very angry, but the old man was just watching him quietly, without any sign of surrender.

It was not until he saw the anger on the other person's face became stiff due to a long stalemate that he suddenly spoke to change the subject.

"You and Ned are good brothers. In the cold winter of the north, you need assistance from a stable kingdom, so you don't have to worry about the north. I am here in the valley, and my heirs will not resist your rule in the future. I have joined forces with Ned, and you don't need to worry about the Tuli family for the time being."

The old man's voice is full of rationality.

"The land of the storm is your property, and the lords love you very much. We killed Princess Dorn and her children. Dorn will not be honest, but at most we cannot control the southern border of the kingdom. Prince Dorn of Don was cautious and he would never dare to raise his troops to step out of the Dorn rebellion without any chance of victory."

"Hewan is very strong and has not suffered much damage in the war, but they have thousands of years of blood feud with the neighboring Dorn, and the two sides will not cooperate. At the same time, the heirs of the Redwin family on Qingting Island are held by us. Count Redwin's fleet dares not act rashly, and the Hewan is also subject to the overall situation, unless there is the help of the Western Frontier close to Hewan, the most important Western Frontier."

"Duke Tywin has already made an intention to show his goodwill. If you marry into the West, only the Hewan and Dorn are still unstable in the seven countries. Perhaps one Iron Island is added, but these three parties have blood feuds and will never form an alliance. But if you don't marry into the River and the West, and the Dorn and the Iron Islands that are staring at us, it's equivalent to half a kingdom."

"Why do you think they obey your rule by half the kingdom's territory, by your Targaryen blood?"

“How long can our victors last?”

...

The old man's uninterrupted words made the black-haired young man's face less and less angry, and eventually completely dissipated. However, he seemed to have all his energy removed and his face was pale, and his body collapsed back to the chair.

Old Jon sighed when he saw this, and the seriousness on his face also disintegrated.

"I will arrange for the nun to check before the wedding." He said exhaustedly what he had said before.

"No matter what the result is, the Archbishop will announce that Cersei, the daughter of Duke Tywin, is still a virgin girl. Yes, he will say so. So that no one will criticize the matter anymore. Then I will launch a search for the remnants of the Targaryen family in the King's Landing, so that everyone can know what the truth is."

"What's this? Jon?" Robert leaned on the chair and said bitterly: "Dragon Knight Emon and his sister Nerishi, having an affair under the nose of Aegon IV? So I am the foolish and incompetent king. The future heir to the throne may not be his own. Old man, do you mean this?"

These words made the old man quite helpless.

"Rober, you must calm down. A good king must distinguish the rumors and the truth. Aegon IV became suspicious. What happened? The kingdom was divided, the black fire rebellion broke out, and five generations of Targaryen were going to wipe his butt. This is a bloody lesson. Don't be misled by such words again."

Without saying anything, the other party seemed to have completely lost interest in speaking. Seeing this, Duke Jon couldn't help but say again: "I will find the truth about the matter, Robert, I promise."

"Forget it, Jon, you're right, it doesn't matter if you are true or not." The brunette young man waved his hand, looking distracted, "I'll leave this to you. Whatever you say is what you want."

The old man wanted to speak but stopped seeing this, but after thinking about it, he sighed and did not speak again.

In fact, he already had some clues. The intelligence manager Varis, who was in a crisis of trust, worked hard during this period and would report any news to him, the quasi-monarch, as soon as possible.
