"Just please Lord Renly!"

The old man's earnest words sounded from behind, and he turned to look at the former Prime Minister Jon Ailin was standing at the door of the Prime Minister's Tower with full of expectations and gratitude. In fact, if Ren Li had not stopped him, this person would have even wanted to send him to the exclusive tower of the Minister of Justice.

It is obvious that the former Prime Minister is currently in a very uneasy mood.

Thinking about it, it's normal. At the age of seventy, I was almost poisoned to death not long ago. My only heir was less than five years old at this time, and I was sick all day long, so it seemed that it would be difficult for me to survive in adulthood.

As a feudal lord, the Ailin family in the valley has now withered to this point. How could Jon Ailin, as the head of the family, not care?

But in the past, the old master could not have any solution to this. After all, that is not a problem that can be solved simply by power or money.

Now that new hope has emerged, it is naturally difficult for him to remain steady.

In this case, Lan Li estimated that even if she made some excessive demands, she even used her life to exchange for the rebirth of the heir, she probably would agree after considering it.

Of course, Lanley would not make such a request. The Ailing family in the Valley and Baratheon are allies, and the most strong point in maintaining the relationship between these ally is the father-son relationship between Duke Jon and Robert, which can be seen from the fact that the old man also gave his only son Robert's name.

But Lan Li couldn't just not mention any requests. In other words, what requests he made depends on what trading conditions the seven gods needed.

“Although it’s not reliable sometimes, it’s very useful.”

After returning to his study, Lan Li thought for a moment.

It is naturally considered to expose his strength in this way. As soon as he had seen such a "special thing" by Queen Cersei, there is no need to hide it anymore.

Secondly, what he mainly thought about was to find a reliable reason for his special features. After all, he had done many incomprehensible things in the past, and it would be fine once or twice. If he had too many times, even the people in his side would inevitably feel fear in his heart.

The unknown and mysterious book will cause people's fear, and fear will inevitably breed "reversal" emotions over time.

At the same time, no one could notice the abnormalities in the old prime minister. Someone would inevitably guess his body like the old prime minister. Then someone would think that Ren Li was superb and omnipotent and then came to ask for help. Naturally, he needed to send a signal that he could not help anyone, or that he could not act according to his own wishes.

At the same time, even if you can take action, it will cost you, because the gods in heaven require this.

Of course, there is another reason for doing this, that is, to increase influence.

Lan Li believes that if he can really solve the problem of weakness of the successor of the former Prime Minister, then what he says in the future will be impossible for the other party to think more about what he says--

Although he is the king's younger brother, even the king is often unable to let go, let alone him.

...

He promised the old prime minister to "ask", and Ren Li did ask too.

Treating a child's congenital disease does not seem too difficult for the Seven Gods, and His request is simple - to cultivate a shelter in the Landing and keep it running normally.

Lan Li believes that this matter is not difficult, especially for a prime minister, but he did not tell the matter out immediately, otherwise it would seem that he would communicate too easily.

The old man did not urge him. Although he seemed anxious, as the prime minister after he recovered, he had a lot of work and could not always focus on this matter.

The war in the north is in full swing, not just the busy Prime Minister, King Robert, Minister of the Superintendent Stannis, Minister of Finance Mess Tyriel, and General Intelligence Varis... All the members of the Imperial Conference are busy with this, and every time they meet, they are basically in a hurry. The topic is not only warfare.

As a "good official" who has become famous in the hearts of the people of the ruler, Lan Li's task is to maintain the stability of the ruler's ruler, or to maintain the basic court operation of the royal family, and to manage prisons and prisoners at the same time, which is equivalent to a normal job, and he doesn't need to pay more attention to the rest.

Lan Li didn't think much about it. The lords of Hewan land were so troubled by him. Now they didn't have any intentions. They actively followed the order of the Iron Throne. Dorn was also neutral when he was slapping his mouth and said that he was "sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight."

Although the valley has not achieved much results at the moment, at least after being "taken by" by him, no trouble happened. It was unlike the Hejian land where there was no time to do anything. There were already two lords over there who had defected to Targaryen, and some remained neutral.

In general, Renly's actions have basically kept the Westeros and stood on the side of Baratheon, and were not divided by the Targaryen family that made a comeback. This is actually not easy, because compared with the Baratheon dynasty that has only been established for more than ten years, Targaryen ruled Westeros for nearly three hundred years, and it is actually very obvious which side is more influential.

He has done what he should do, and the rest depends on which side has stronger strength. At the same time, he must be more careful about undercurrents in the open and guard against the breeding of various conspiracies.

The Jon Ellin incident made Lan Li more vigilant, and he was also very glad that he had secretly planted the seeds of power into his body. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what kind of attitude Jon Ellin is now when he died - he would definitely not be as proactive as he is now.

It is obvious that simple emotional perception cannot make Lan Li notice whether the people hiding inside and outside the Red Castle are good or bad, or that he can only sense the emotions directed at him.

However, if others are not hostile or have bad intentions towards him, then he will not find any sneaky existence.

This can be done by inciting the mind into other people's bodies, but he cannot check it one by one. Not to mention anything else, there are hundreds of staff in the Red Castle, and he can't check it even if he wants to - mind reading is not omnipotent, and he still needs to take the initiative to guide him.

Of course, there are too many people to check, but he can still monitor a small number of people secretly, such as the important officials at the imperial meeting.

As the most important center of power in the kingdom, the imperial meeting is very important, and the seven people participating in the imperial meeting are even more important.

The former Prime Minister of the Imperial Palace, Minister of Finance, Minister of Justice, Minister of the Navy, Chief Intelligence Officer, Grand Secretary, and Captain of the Imperial Guard. These are the seven members of the Imperial Palace Conference.

Renli grew up in the High Court, but since he became the Minister of Justice, his relationship with the Minister of Finance Mess Tyriel has been not very good. The main reason is that the Minister of Finance is the leader of all officials in the Kingdom, and officials generally have a bad impression of Renli - because Renli doesn't care about their interests at all and always attacks them. Even when some small cases involve bureaucrats, they are not tolerant of their judgments. Some people say that they are not useful, and they will lose face.

So Renli did not forget to investigate Tyriel secretly, silently, but pointed directly at the key point.

In addition, the Grand Secretary and the Royal Guard Captain also need to be carefully supervised, because both existed in high positions since the Targaryen era of the previous dynasty, and also belonged to the important officials of the previous dynasty, including the intelligence chief Varis.
