Chapter 534 Little Girl Zhuge (middle)

Oh!
You don't need to think too much about Igor to judge that the plan proposed by Myrcella does meet the two standards of "reasonable" and "legal" at the same time... North people will complain about this, but they did not before the fall of Queen. It is an unbreakable conspiracy for the law to find reasons and excuses to openly oppose it.

He looked up, glancing at Myrcella with amazement.

A good idea is naturally a good idea, but on a macro scale, it is only an excellent political tool at the middle and upper levels, not a record that has never been approached and will never be approached again, called It's an amazing operation, Igor really wants to use his brain on the annexation of the last Hearth leader, and he can definitely discuss it with his staff after spending some time. What he was surprised and surprised about was not the tactic itself, but: such a powerful trick with a strong LYB flavor actually came from a thick eyebrow... ah no, the little girl with thin eyebrows, big eyes, and a cute face. mouth.

It seems that I can only say that I know the person and the face but not the heart... The ten years that Myrcella lived in the Red Keep as a princess was not completely in vain.

Since childhood, being at the center of political power in the Seven Kingdoms may explain why the girl can come up with such a tactic that requires a certain political intuition and sensitivity, but Igor is only slightly relieved, and soon he is taken over again. An even bigger group of doubts shrouded: This little girl, time and time again, is trying to give him advice, what is she asking for?
Do you feel that you still owe oneself to take care of her two brothers, or do you want to imitate Gan Luo, who worshipped the emperor at the age of 12, and wants to use this method to show oneself's ingenuity. Little counselor?

He looked at Little Princess with a curious and inquiring look, but he didn't wait until he stared at her with a blushing face and turned his head away, so he finally had to look back, nodded, Pretending to be stupid: "It's a good idea, I'll take the time to arrange it to ensure that the search for the true and false Umber starts at the same time, and it will be carried out in secret, and I will never let the Duck who talks about it fly out again."

"Well Mmmm." Myrcella nodded and looked up at him again, as if she had already said all of this, but also as if she was still looking forward to it... She was so pitiful that she wanted to say something, she just used a textbook-level example to show that "I have something to say" should be how to act.

Igor felt a little itchy on his scalp. He could vaguely guess what Myrcella wanted to say, but he didn't dare to ask. There are not many people with brains in his subordinates and staff for the time being. It stands to reason that when you meet a smart person, you should recruit a think tank under your command to enrich oneself. However, after all, it is impossible to accept all of them...

If Myrcella is a gentleman and old fox like Ser Denys Mallister, he can ask "what do you want" and then haggle and make a mutually beneficial deal; if Myrcella is a boy, oneself Will laugh and pat her on the shoulder at the moment, and tell her boldly: young man, you are innate talent, come and hang out with me; or even if she is not the surname that used to be called Baratheon, she is actually the daughter of Kingslayer and Cersei , he can also take her with him, who is nominally a secretary but is actually a staff...

However, a girl, both a former Baratheon family member and Queen's father-killer - Duke Tywin The "granddaughter and granddaughter", no matter from which point of view, she is properly the enemy and threat of the Queen. At the moment when Daenerys · Targaryen is going to take back the Seven Kingdoms, if the unfathomable mystery takes the former princess and the illegitimate daughter of the gangster and keeps them as aides, others will think that oneself sees her young and beautiful as a small thing, once If you start thinking about politics, and then spread it to Queen's ears, it will be really troublesome.

And with insidious characters like Varys and Roose Bolton glare like a tiger watching his prey, the above "once" can almost be considered as "sooner or later" - and Oneself can't take it...or is unwilling to take this risk.

I was thinking of fulfilling Myrcella's wish as a reward for this "little inner response" to oneself, but now it seems that I am in this mud puddle of danger lurks on every side powerless to defend himself , oneself doesn't seem to be able to give this Little Princess what she wants.

Myrcella can probably understand how hot oneself is, she lowered her head in grievance and disappointment, and didn't want to make Igor embarrassed for a while, so she had no choice but to say something in a low voice: " Sir, how long will you and Queen be staying in Winterfell?"

......

It was supposed to leave in a few days, but now, it's only ten days and half a month. Can't go away.

Igor was upset when he thought of this, resisted the urge to frown, and was about to answer politely and say goodbye to Little Princess, rushing to a meeting to discuss the solution to the Queen's new mission, but the world in his mind was suddenly overwhelmed. A thunder piercing from the subconscious illuminated most of it.

Wait, it doesn't seem so easy!
Igor has never had a crooked thought on the last Hearth before, not because of his integrity, but because he has a higher goal and a bigger plan in his chest than the gains and losses of one city and one place, and he has no time for it. Spend extra brainpower on this petty profit - only because Myrcella's strategy is really simple and easy to decide, according to her words, such a move can't hurt to play idle chess. But now... to be precise, after the Queen made an unwise strategic decision at the battle meeting just now, the situation has actually undergone a subtle but non-negligible change.

Daenerys demanded that all of the North lords recognize their legitimacy and send troops to support her conquest of the South. Under this premise, the use of power tricks to acquire the ownership of the last Hearth, the meaning of which is no longer limited to "obtaining an Earldom", but adds a very important one: acquiring a North noble... or a big noble "identity".

Assuming that there are N families of North nobles except House Stark, Daenerys asks all N families to swear allegiance to her. Once Myrcella's proposal is fulfilled, oneself can instruct the next "Last Hearth Lord" - true or false - to publicly swear allegiance to Daenerys in the name of the Umber family, thus locking in the Queen's request in advance and completing 1/N, Let the number of families that oneself and Petyr have to settle next becomes N-1, and the pressure is lighter!
The best part is that in this plan, even if oneself finds a child to pretend to be the heir of the Umber family, he can tell the Queen the truth: as long as this "Umber count" really controls the final Hearth The leader is loyal to Daenerys again, so for his own faction... he is the real Umber count, the noble one the Queen hopes to win over. As for whether he is a true descendant of Umber, Daenerys doesn't care, and oneself will not be accused of cheating!
Just because the timing is just right, an idle chess move has just been evolved into a great chess move!
With his mind turned, Igor blinked his eyes from regretful to surprised, opened his eyes wide, and looked towards Myrcella again with surprise.

"Your Majesty?" Myrcella didn't participate in the battle meeting just now, she couldn't understand why Igor's expression suddenly changed as she walked, she looked back to meet the man's eyes, hoping that he would explain.

"Thanks for the tip, Miss Maeve. Coincidentally, I've just encountered a new problem about how long I'm going to stay in Winterfell, and I can't figure it out. You have a lot of ideas. Maybe you can listen to it and see if there is any coup?"

Igor said with a slight smile, and then without omission and in detail told the process and final result of the meeting just now. Not only that, but even the speculation Littlefinger had just told him about Varys and little Aegon's relationship was also discreetly revealed.

It stands to reason that this kind of open strife and veiled struggle and gang formation between the Queen and the royal family belong to "family ugliness" and should not be casually promoted to "outsiders" like Myrcella. But the short and long acquaintance has given Igor the impression that Little Princess is smart and tight-no matter when and where, reliable people are always eligible for extra trust.

After hearing this, Myrcella's little face suddenly showed great confusion: "Why does the Queen have to get along with North? The best thing to do now is to send troops south as soon as possible to clean up the already spread out. The King's Landing endgame for half a year. After all, Iron Throne is her goal, isn't it?"

(I thought so too!)

Igor really wanted to shout this out. You see, even a thirteen-year-old child can understand the truth, but Daenerys can't figure it out when his temper gets up.

"Totally agree, but the Queen's intention has been decided, and no one can persuade. Do you think there is a way to complete this mission?"

Starting to think about the problem, the loss on Little Princess's face Her expression was instantly swept away. She blinked her eyes, fluttered her eyelashes twice, and looked up at Igor carefully: "Can I... tell the truth?"

"Of course."

p>

"If the 'all' the Queen said about all the North nobles is serious, then she won't even think about going back to the South this year." Myrcella's little face became serious, "Even my father... When King Robert fought against the rebellion at the bottom of the valley when his power and prestige reached its peak, his summon Seven Kingdoms nobles gathered to suppress the Lords Declarant, and only nine out of ten responded. The nobles who did not arrive on time with their troops were all Are they sympathetic to the party and have no intention of being a minister? Of course, it is impossible. Some of them are too remote, and the news is blocked and the response is late. Some of them have lost their families and would rather pay the fine. Some of them are even on their way to the battlefield. Lost and unable to arrive in time... Few of them truly reject the summon with malice and malice - at least not on the surface."

After changing her tone, she continued: "A Seven Kingdoms recognized The king is still like this, the Dragon Queen has not yet sat on the Iron Throne, why is she still in the North, where she is not very popular... I want to enjoy higher treatment? As far as I predict, half of the North family is willing to symbolically raise troops for her Fighting is enough to surprise people, if you struggle with this issue, and then use force to threaten or eliminate one or two nobles who refuse to send troops, even the princes who originally agreed to support her, I am afraid that people will be distracted."

It's almost exactly the same as oneself and Petyr's judgment, speaking of which, this little girl's thinking mode is quite clear and organized, quite the style of her "Uncle and Uncle" Tyrion, and I don't know if it's a family inheritance , or was it influenced by Imp under long-term relationships in childhood?

"That's right, so my plan is to try to win more than half of the North nobles first, and then convince the Queen on this basis that this is the best outcome." Igor nodded approvingly. , continue to ask, not looking for a solution, just wondering if this little girl can provide a valuable idea: "If this is the condition to reduce the difficulty, can there be any good way to complete it?"

"Hmm..." Myrcella pondered, rubbed her hands crampedly, and finally spoke hesitantly after half a minute, "It's not impossible, but choosing this method requires great courage, trust, and fear of bad outcomes. Mental preparation, adults want to listen?"
