Chapter 402 The Law of Ease and Difficulty
Daenerys raised his eyebrows, and Igor said a word to his heart She tried her best not to lose self-control on her expression, but the shock had instantly traveled from her spine to the back of her head. I wanted to say "You are very good at flattering people" to resolve the embarrassment, but soon after I recalled that I had complimented each other like this when we met at Dragonstone... I could only swallow the words and looked up at the man standing across the table. Gradually reveal incredible rays of light.

If it hadn't been for that word, Daenerys would have only had this single thought in his mind at the moment: Could it be that oneself has met a comrade?
She first realized that oneself's previous judgment on the situation was wrong, and slowly released the hand that was clenching the fork under the table, and then she recalled another question: "That book, really you wrote it !?"

It was a little different from what I expected, but Igor finally found an opportunity to turn the topic in the direction that oneself wanted.

"Hasn't Your Majesty wondered when you read the first half of the book, why in the world there is a book that suits you perfectly and is in line with the current state of Westeros...as if it was written for you and yet you are A book you've never heard of?" Igor shrugged and asked himself, with an expression of proven mystery, "The answer is: no why. This book, this book was made just for you, to test you— —Is it the Queen I imagined?"

......

The guard's exclamation came from outside the house, accompanied by the sudden sound of airflow and giant beast wheezing and neighing. The three dragons, led by Drogon, have flown from their resting points a few miles away to the sky above the Queenscrown Pocket Lake, hovering close to the top of the tower, and as long as the mother gives an order, they will enter the city of dragon flames and retreat. Picked up on the ground. But Black Dragon could feel that the mother, who was connected to the oneself Soul, suddenly changed from extreme tension and precaution to anger mixed with strong surprise and curiosity.

Daenerys reassured Drogon, who had come to protect her, in the heart not to attack directly or forcibly land, while casually placing the fork back on the table as if he had just finished his meal, Crossing his arms in front of his chest, he leaned back on the chair and stretched his body.

With the arrival of the dragon, thinking ability and imposing manner both recovered to the best state with confidence: "Then, you have successfully deceived me now, am I the one you imagined? Where's the Queen?"

"Yes, but no." Very good, even the lines have become eloquent, which can naturally lead to the following content. Igor knew that this flick was basically on track, but the main event was yet to come: "You are indeed the Queen I envisioned, who is concerned with the world and full of passion for change...but you seem a little lost. I will ask Your Majesty One question, you have such a good idea, but you know how to turn it into reality - without a specific plan, at least a general direction?"

Of course...no!
If there was, how could she be so eager to read the second half of the book, The Demonic Monarchy, even at the expense of riding a dragon herself? The first half of the book Igor gave her as a gift already contained countless theories and narratives that Daenerys recognized and agreed with, and even felt bright, which whetted her appetite. But after all the bragging and the example, she is feeling that the next content will be the substantive advice and ready-made solutions that oneself needs most, but she can turn to the next page, but it is already the back cover.

The feeling of being hanged in midair when it was about to reach the most critical moment was abruptly stopped, it was extremely uncomfortable!
"Lord Commander, what I hate the most in my life is when others lie to me." Of course, Daenerys admitted that oneself had no plans at all, and planned to wait for the Seven Kingdoms to be recaptured. She suppressed her guilt and said coldly, "If you want me to forgive you for this deception, you'd better be the author of that book and give me the second half of the book that satisfies me."

......

If the legitimacy of Daenerys' identity and title is recognized, then the supreme monarch of the Seven Kingdoms, the Queen of the entire Westeros, is in front of him.

If there isn't a huge centralized empire that spans several continents and governs several kingdoms in the remaining unknown part of the world of ice and fire, then this will be the last chance for Igor to fool his identity in this world. Someone higher than oneself... successfully took her down, influenced and even influenced her thoughts, and oneself achieved customs clearance on this road.

For this day, he has subconsciously prepared countless days and nights.

"Do your best." Igor listened to the sound of the Demon Dragon flapping across the sky outside the house, "but before I start, I must ask Your Majesty to promise me one thing: after listening to what I have Whatever you say, whether you believe it or not, obey it or not, do not divulge it to anyone, including your closest aides and advisers."

This is an overkill, if not Tell oneself's trusted advisor, oneself who is not very rich in experience and experience alone, how to judge whether Igor is fooling or tricking oneself? Daenerys frowned: "Okay, I'll see what you can say."

Anyway, let him say what he should say first. As for whether or not to tell others, the mouth is not long. on oneself? Daenerys isn't the pedantic stubborn Stannis, who has always been more flexible about things like commitments and rules.

Igor nod, breathes deeply and then began to tell: "If Your Majesty has a good memory, you should remember that in the first half of the book I sent, there are roughly two types of countries in the world: one is centralized power. Autocracy, and the second are feudal princes. The former has only one king, and the rest are officials who serve him. Westeros is the latter: the Seven Kingdoms are like a vast wasteland, and the nobles are the wild dogs in the wasteland. Qun, here and there, here and there... They are all vying for power and intrigue every moment, no matter when and where, you can always find someone who holds a grudge against the king or other nobles because of a piece of bone or a few pieces of meat, and is waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. Princes. There will always be someone willing to jump out to be a rebel, a weapon in the hands of an insurgent, or a guide in front of you, saddled up in the service of someone like you or little Aegon, hoping for another king or monarch, and oneself will be better off Some."

"I am the rightful king of the Seven Kingdoms, neither in rebellion nor in revolt."

"I am not discussing the legality of anyone here, but only to state such a Fact: In such a feudal country with feudal lords large and small, if you want to seize its dominion, you only need to find the right person, and you can easily split it into two or several forces. Then, it is only necessary to defeat the king himself and destroy his bloodline ——After success, if there is neither a leader nor enough will to resist among the remaining people, they will look out for the wind." Igor shook his head, "The most recent example is Your Majesty oneself: you only need to take King's Landing kills Stannis and you have Crownlands and Storm in an instant, then you just have to try to get the easy-to-get Dorne and Reach, and the Seven Kingdoms have half. Then, the unsafe Riverlands are yours, and so are the Westerlands In the last six-nation joint crusade, strength great injury was powerless to resist... In the end, only North and Vale, who have the natural danger of The Neck and Bloody Gate, may persist in resisting for a while. But under the deterrence of the dragon, It is conceivable that as long as you are willing to surrender, this persistence will not last long."

"It's basically correct." Actually, it's completely correct, Daenerys thought, but it's a pity that she is now on the 1st Step : I encountered an obstacle in eliminating Stannis, and was stopped by this powerful enemy, "Then what?"

"No then, I just want to introduce a Concept. Once we reach a consensus, we can continue to talk.” Igor said, “That concept The idea is - Jiangshan's 'easy to get, hard to cure' law. That is: the difficulty of conquering the country is inversely proportional to the difficulty of ruling it. The easier way you choose to gain dominion, it must mean that you have used more foreign power, leaving behind more old people and Old Blood from the previous dynasty... and these people have become heroes and heroes in your new kingdom. After the supporters, a vested interest group will form - unless you do not violate their interests at all, or they will become a resistance to your rule. ”

Igor first started with the content in the magic modification "The Monarch (Part 1)", in addition to wanting to connect the past and the future, to make the content of oneself easier to understand, there is also a consideration: in the unnoticeable influence It's a psychological advantage.

Once they talk about the arguments in (Part 1), Daenerys quickly finds out that Igor really knows what's in this half of the book. The author of this book is undoubtedly the author. And this process of "unconsciously acknowledging that this book is written by Igor" will at the same time-transfer the expectations and admiration that Daenerys had previously brewed for the mysterious author of this book to the concrete in front of him. People—that is, Igor.

The author and the reader talk about the content of the book, and the former can easily occupy the overwhelming upper hand!

“Easy to get difficult to cure” law? Daenerys read the word softly, unaware that oneself's attitude towards Igor has become unconsciously a lot more respectful - in this brief moment, she seems to have returned to her childhood, changed back to a student, and the man opposite is her The teacher.

"Yes, for example: Your Majesty wants to take back Iron Throne, the easiest way is to recognize the legitimacy of Aegon Targaryen, marry him and Dorne, Reach... as much as possible alliance of the great lords. The more nobles who join your faction, the better your path will be, but when you go to the end - after you sit on the Iron Throne, your husband, your first supporter, will turn back and become your control the weakener. On the other hand, if you choose to slaughter all the nobles in the Seven Kingdoms and replace them with newcomers, then your road to ascendancy will be difficult, difficult, and almost impossible to go to the end - and as compensation, once you succeed, you will be very difficult for Seven Kingdoms. The Kingdoms' control will be firm enough to impossible to be shaken. "This is a word that has never appeared in the original monarchy. Igor oneself combined with Westeros' actual generalization. No one can explain it better than him. "Remember this concept, because we will come back to this later. one. "

Drogon, who was flying over the pocket lake, felt that the mother was not in danger, and after circling a few times, he flew away with his two brother sisters... And all this, Daenerys didn't care: she , I'm a little bit caught up in anticipation of the next content.

"Very well, after introducing this concept, we can continue to the topic. "Igor was nodded with satisfaction, and was quite satisfied with the correct attitude of the new students, "Your Majesty wants to correct the injustice in the world and make the world a better place-specifically, what should you do in terms of policy? ”
