The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Cersei Lannister shook the wine glass in her hand and did not answer Tyrion Lannister's question. She lowered her eyes slightly as if thinking about the answer.

Tyrion added: "Cersei, do you think they are reliable? Or do you trust them?"

As soon as the movement in her hand stopped, Queen Cersei took an elegant sip of summer red wine glass and said leisurely: "Why do you ask that?"

As she spoke, her green eyes moved, and she continued: "Does father have any other arrangements?"

Tyrion pointed to the letter that was crumpled by her sister on the table and said, "You probably didn't pay attention to it. Our kind father doesn't like obscure expressions..."

Tyrion thought to himself that his elder sister might have been distracted by his appointment as Hand and paid no attention to anything else.

Queen Cersei first glanced at her dwarf brother who looked sincere, then put down the wine glass and picked up the letter.

The crumpled letter was opened by Queen Cersei, who frowned and read it.

…………

Tyrion swayed the wine glass gently... Green was not as simple as his sister. It was difficult to shake his heart with his tongue alone. If the tradition of the Kleb family was not good for him... he dared to promise the Seven Gods, Green A nice new explanation will be sent to him soon.

Tyrion took a sip of wine, and his eyes moved... The Stark family might be a breakthrough point. If Greene still sticks to his knight's heart, he should be very uncomfortable now... Just choose Shattaya. Let’s talk to Green in the Women’s Branch and comfort the little guy by the way.

A lewd smile appeared on Tyrion's face unconsciously, but he quickly reacted and immediately covered it up with wine.

"This is all the old lion's own guess!"

Queen Cersei's voice interrupted Tyrion's thoughts.

"Why does he think that everyone around me has evil intentions? Does he treat me as a fool?"

Tyrion's eyes flashed, and he whispered: "Sister, do you want to listen to my analysis?"

Queen Cersei leaned back in her chair, glanced at the humble dwarf, and nodded her chin slightly.

"He knows that although your son has only been king for a short time, he has already caused countless troubles. From this, the old lion speculates that someone has taught our Joffrey bad things."

His nephew, the king, sits on the high Iron Throne, and he thinks he decides cases justly. If he feels bored, he will hand the case over to the Royal Council, but if he is interested... no one can stop his ridiculous judgment. This includes sister Cersei, who is known for her willfulness.

For example... a thief was dragged up, and Joffrey ordered the executioner to chop off his hands on the spot in the throne room; two knights had a dispute over a certain piece of land, and petitioned the king to decide, and Joffrey ordered them to The duel was resolved and the order was given until death; a woman knelt down and begged for the head of a man who had been beheaded for a crime, hoping that his body could be buried intact, but Joffrey said that people who love criminals are also criminals, and the poor woman was The golden robe was dragged into the dungeon; a fat tavern singer was accused of composing a song to mock the late King Robert I. Joffrey found the song amusing, so he opened the door and announced that the fat singer could choose to keep his fingers or his tongue. etc.

Tyrion blinked, and the majestic throne room became Joffrey's playground.

After a moment of silence, Queen Cersei said: "Tyrion, Joffrey does not lack the advice and advice of his ministers, but you should also know his character very well. He is a bit stubborn... Now Joffrey is the king. , he feels that he should do whatever he wants, and he feels that the king should not be manipulated by others."

"The Iron Throne is such a good chair."

Tyrion sighed with emotion at first, and then said: "Anyone who wears the crown will be confused, not to mention Joffrey is not an adult yet."

Tyrion pointed to the crumpled letter and added: "Our amiable father is looking forward to your performance... My good sister, you are Joffrey's regent."

Queen Cersei stared at the dwarf brother suspiciously for a while and said: "Pycelle and Varys are stupid and cowardly, but they are still obedient."

Tyrion nodded slightly. He had almost figured out the status of Pycelle and Varys in Queen Cersei's heart. He felt that he could win over one of them for his use... It was fair and friendly for each other to have a sister and a brother.

Tyrion pondered: "What happened to Ed Stark? I think you should know very well... Letting him put on black clothes can reduce many enemies, but Joffrey wants to kill him, Without this change, it is very likely that riots would not have occurred."

Queen Cersei's eyes moved slightly, and she frowned and said, "I have carefully warned Joffrey, and according to the plan, I should have allowed Stark to put on black clothes and send him to the Great Wall.

In this way, not only will future troubles be avoided, but it is also possible to negotiate peace with Winterfell... As a result, Joffrey believes that he has the responsibility to let the audience watch a good show. What can I do?

Ser Ilyn was even more impatient and happily complied without even asking me a question! Gods bless, at least the riot of the pariahs did not let Stark die on our guillotine. "

Tyrion smiled and nodded... Yes! It's all someone else's fault, my dear sister!

"Have you not found Ed Stark's... whereabouts?"

Queen Cersei shook her head.

Tyrion sighed: "Winterfell will still blame us for all this..."

Queen Cersei interrupted angrily: "Why? We didn't do it?! The murderers were those hateful untouchables!"

Tyrion shrugged and reluctantly changed the subject.

"Then let me ask..."

Tyrion's words were interrupted again by Queen Cersei: "Sansa is gone too."

Tyrion was stunned for a moment, as if to confirm whether he heard correctly: "Miss Stark?"

Queen Cersei frowned and nodded slightly.

"Aha!"

Tyrion picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, grinning and saying: "The lion and the wolf can only live one... My good sister, we are our father's good children. We must pray to the Seven Gods every day for our good father." Good health... My requirements are not high, I just want him to survive until the trouble is solved."

After a pause, he added: "What I said is true. The old father is relatively reliable and can protect his children from trouble. Now I really want to kiss his shoes religiously... If he If you don’t mind.”

Cersei glanced at Tyrion contemptuously and said: "I can also protect the Lannister from the wind and rain, and the lioness will destroy all her enemies."

Tyrion actually wants to ask Cersei: This charming sister, why do you do this? By willfulness and arrogance?

Tyrion nodded in agreement, showing admiration... He really couldn't pretend!

He smiled slightly and chose to change the subject.

"It must have been Joffrey's own idea to remove Ser Barristan Selmy from the Kingsguard?"

Cersei's green eyes trembled slightly, she paused, and she sighed: "Joffrey wanted to find someone responsible for Robert's death, so Varys suggested that Ser Barristan should be operated on. There is nothing wrong with this. On the one hand... Jaime could take over as captain of the Kingsguard and get a seat on the council. On the other hand, Joffrey liked Sandor Clegane, and he had a bone to feed the dogs. We were going to reward Selmy A castle, but the good-for-nothing old man was dissatisfied and simply evicted it.”

Tyrion didn't show it on his face, but he felt some sympathy for Tywin in his heart, just a little bit of sympathy.

Tyrion said sternly: "Ser Barristan Selmy was the captain of the Kingsguard of Robert I. Of the Seven Iron Guards of Aerys II, only he and Jaime were alive.

People spoke of him like Savin the Mirrorshield and Prince Aemon the Dragonknight again...if they saw the fearless Barristan fighting alongside Stannis Baratheon or Renly Baratheon, How do you think they would feel? "

Queen Cersei's expression froze. She turned away and looked to the other side. She seemed to like the beautiful vases placed there.

After a pause, she said casually: "I didn't expect this level."

Tyrion's tone was serious: "Duke Tywin thought of it, so he ordered me to take over his position as prime minister, put an end to these ridiculous farces, and make your son obedient."

Queen Cersei turned her face away. She looked at her calm-faced dwarf brother and said with a mocking tone, "Joffrey doesn't even like to listen to me, and he won't listen to you either."

Tyrion shrugged: "Not necessarily, my sister."

Seeing that Tyrion was not joking, Queen Cersei added, "Why should Joffrey listen to you? He doesn't like you."

Tyrion smiled: "To be precise, he hates me. Since I was a child, I don't let Joffrey do whatever he wants like others."

He continued: "Why does he dare not listen to you? Because he knows that his mother will never hurt him."

Cersei warned: "Tyrion, if you think I will let you bully my son, you are hopelessly sick."

Tyrion couldn't help but sigh, Cersei always missed the point.

"I am Joffrey's uncle, and Joffrey is as safe with me as he is with you."

With that said, Tyrion climbed out of the chair awkwardly, and he reached out and took one of Cersei's hands.

"What I mean is that if you make him feel threatened, he will be more obedient, and you don't really want to harm him. After all, we are siblings after all, and the current situation is a mess. Whether you admit it or not, you You do need me... Your son wants to keep that ugly iron chair, and he needs me too."

Queen Cersei lowered her eyes and glanced at her hand, and said, "I said I would give you a chance. I believe in Jaime's vision. He said you have always been very clever."

He smiled and said: "It's just a little cleverness. The most important thing is that we Lannister are a family that loves each other and is relatively reliable."

Queen Cersei thought for a moment and said, "In that case...it's worth a try. My premise is that you are not allowed to hurt my son."

Tyrion smiled: "Of course, although the way I love him is a little different from yours, I love Joffrey no less."

"besides……"

Queen Cersei stared at the dwarf Prime Minister and said in a cold voice: "Tyrion, you have to remember that although I have accepted you, you are only the Queen's Prime Minister in name only. In fact, you are my Prime Minister. Before you take any action, you must You must discuss your plans and intentions with me in advance. You are not allowed to act without my consent, is that clear?"

Tyrion nodded slightly: "Your Majesty Cersei, you know everything."

Queen Mother Cersei saw that the dwarf prime minister agreed without hesitation, but she was a little doubtful of his sincerity. She asked: "My brother, do you agree?"

Tyrion stroked his chest and saluted: "Dear sister, Prime Minister Tyrion is at your disposal."

He added silently in his mind: But only when I need it.

Tyrion's smile was sincere... In order to maintain the relationship between siblings, sometimes a little white lies are needed.

Queen Cersei withdrew the hand held by the dwarf prime minister, and she finally showed a look of satisfaction.

"Okay, now that we have the same goal, there should be no more secrets from each other. The Prime Minister of the Queen Mother Regent cannot be blind."

Queen Cersei was a little impatient: "What do you want to know?"

Tyrion's eyes flashed: "You said that Joffrey wanted to behead Duke Eddard, and Varys's slander drove Barristan away, then... Prime Minister Jon Arryn is indeed his wife Lysa. Did Tully and Littlefinger team up to poison him?"

Queen Cersei frowned and said, "That's the result of Stark's investigation."

"I've been looking into some things recently, such as one of the rumors about the riots in King's Landing."

Queen Cersei's eyes turned cold: "You are actually interested in the nonsense of those untouchables? I have begun to be a little disappointed in you, my Prime Minister."

Tyrion approached Queen Cersei, and their eyes collided.

"Of course I will be interested...Dear sister, not hearing does not mean that it does not exist. For example, the love between you and James..."

Snapped!

Before Tyrion could finish his words, Queen Cersei slapped him in the face.

Tyrion rubbed his cheeks and grinned: "Sister Cersei, it's none of my business who you go to bed with, but you only opened your legs to one brother but didn't let the other brother receive the same treatment. It doesn't seem fair. oh……"

Snapped! Tyrion slaps Cersei again.

"Hey... be gentle, Cersei, I was just kidding. To be honest, I would rather find a beautiful girl to play with. I really don't understand, besides admiring my own reflection, what on earth does Jaime like about you? Which point.”

Snapped! Queen Cersei slaps Tyrion again.

Tyrion's cheeks were red and burning, but he kept smiling.

"Cersei, if you keep fighting, I will be angry."

"What can you do?"

Tyrion laughed and said, "Of course I'm going to complain to my old father."

Tyrion's threat worked, Queen Cersei didn't slap her again, which made him secretly relieved. At the same time, he also thought of many things, and he felt a little sympathy for his brother Jaime.

"Dear sister, I am your prime minister, I am yours, even if it is for James, I don't want to say anything. Besides... my elderly father is already busy enough, and as a good son, I must think more about him. "

Tyrion very sincerely comforted Queen Cersei's restless heart. He was worried that if he cornered the lioness, he would kill her on the spot.
