As the body of the maid was dragged away, Matus Rowan looked anxious, and Finance Minister Mace Tyrell, who was sitting a few seats away from him, felt happy.
Is it so easy to be the Prime Minister? If I were to deal with such a difficult problem, right, how should I deal with it? Mace Tyrell was in deep thought.
"There is no physical evidence and there are still witnesses!" Prime Minister Matus Rowan suddenly shouted loudly.
Everyone present looked at him after hearing this.
"Your Majesty the King, Lords of the Vale, Lord Jon Arryn is not yet 20 years old this year, and there are many people of his age in the Seven Kingdoms! Even if he is younger than him, as long as you have worked with the old Duke, you have seen what he looked like when he was young.
If you look good, the number of people will be greater."
"Yes, I think so too!" Mace Tyrell was the first to speak up.
Matus Rowan thought that all the nobles in the valley were pretending to be stupid before, and said to Robert again, "Your Majesty, this time it concerns the heir of the valley. You can invite all the elderly nobles in the valley to come to King's Landing."
The city bears witness."
"Objection! How do we know if they will lie for profit!"
"Yes! They are not qualified to testify!"
A valley noble shouted, and others followed suit.
Matus Rowan "Since the nobles of the Vale need to be avoided, let's ask a respected old man from other places. Grand Maester Pycelle, how old is Lord Tywin Lannister of the Westerlands this year?"
Grand Maester Pycelle "Lord Tywin is this year. He has served as Hand of the King since he was young and worked with Lord Jon Arryn when he was young."
Matus Rowan turned around and said, "Duke Mace, how old is your mother, Lady Redwine of the Tyrell family in the Reach?"
Mace Tyrell answered, "My mother, Lady Redwine, is this year."
"Objection! Our heir to the Duke of the Valley cannot be interfered with by people from his region!" Seeing that the situation was not going well, the Valley nobles began to refuse.
Robert felt that his father-in-law was doing a good job as prime minister, and he had saved him a lot of trouble at critical moments. He also saw that his father-in-law had something to say, so he gave him a wink to continue.
Hearing the rejection from the valley nobles again, Matus Rowan's expression showed no change, "In this case, let's find people from the academy. They have all sworn not to marry and have children, to give up family honor, and to be absolutely neutral.
Grand Maester Pycelle, how many people are there in the city who are over the age of 10?"
Pycelle himself is very old, but he has always pretended to be stupid and didn't want to get involved in the dispute. Now when the Prime Minister asks about people in the city, as long as it doesn't involve him, he will be very active
"As far as I know, the city now has a doctorate who is over 10 years old, a bachelor's degree who is over 20 years old, and..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted again by the valley nobles.
"Objection! Since the bachelors have sworn to give up their family names, they should not be involved in such matters related to heirs."
After being opposed three times in a row, Matus Rowan smiled on his face. Step by step, he allowed the valley nobles to drive him to a dead end. He looked at the valley nobles and said loudly
"You have to be older and have met the young Duke Jon. You have to avoid interests, not involve the family, not lie, and have authority that everyone recognizes. Then there is only one person who meets the conditions, the Archbishop of the Seven Gods!" Matus Rowan looked at Robert, "Your Majesty, the current Archbishop of the Seven Gods is in the Great Cathedral of Baelor. Just ask him to come over."
Robert's face lit up with joy, "Baristan! In my name, please ask the Archbishop to come to the Red Castle to testify!"
Now the valley nobles have no way to object. Most of the valley nobles are descendants of the Andals, loyal believers of the Seven Gods. Weddings and funerals are presided over by priests or bishops of the Seven Gods. The archbishop is already very authoritative, not to mention the Seven Gods.
Archbishop.
Originally, the Archbishop's residence was in the Starry Cathedral in Old Town in the South. After the "God-blessed" Baelor Targaryen built Baelor's Great Cathedral in King's Landing more than a hundred years ago, he asked the Archbishop of the Seven Gods to
The base was moved to King's Landing, and the Great Sept of Baelor gradually became the two centers of the Seven in Westeros.
Without waiting too long, several soldiers carried the archbishop to the conference hall of the Prime Minister's Tower. They carried the archbishop not because of his noble status, but also because he was too fat and could hardly walk. By the time he walked over, it was probably dinner time. Prime Minister Matus Rowan told the Archbishop the cause and effect, and everyone present was waiting for his words to decide life or death.
"Lord Jon Arryn in his youth"
The whole place was silent, and even the sound of the maid sweeping the floor in the corridor outside the conference hall was heard.
"Blonde!"
Coax~
The nobles' voices suddenly exploded, and they began to curse.
"We were tricked by Lysa Tully!"
"I told you how you can have a brown-haired son with a blond father and a red-haired wife. What a bastard!"
"She insulted the old Duke, and even more insulted all of us in the valley. Kill her and the illegitimate child!"
"Who is that wild man?"
Edmure Tully also collapsed on the chair. Lysa Tully committed such an unforgivable crime, which brought disgrace to the Tully family. Catelyn was already lying on the table and crying.
The prime minister's work was done, and now it was up to the king to convict. Robert stood up and said, "Quiet! Varys, whose father is Robert Arryn?"
Werther told Robert privately, and now Robert wants Varys to say it again in front of everyone.
Varys stood up and said, "Your Majesty, all lords, according to my investigation, that wild man is Petyr Baelish from the Baelish family of the Five Fingers Peninsula. He was pregnant by Lysa Tully once when he was young." "It's him!"
"Yes, he has brown hair."
"Damn Littlefinger! He killed our whole family!" Caitlin cried even more sadly. The person who committed the crime turned out to be someone she had known since she was a child, someone she had no doubts about!
Robert "Master of Justice Renly! Come and investigate who bribed the maid!"
"Follow your orders!" Renly was yelling in his mind. The only clue he got was that it was a masked man and the maid was beaten to death. You really think magic is omnipotent, why don't you check it!
Robert "Littlefinger had an affair with the duke's wife and gave birth to a child to usurp the duke's inheritance. He was guilty of an unforgivable crime. He was deprived of his title and fief and sentenced to beheading! The other person has escaped and a wanted order from the Seven Kingdoms has been issued!"
"Kill him!" the valley nobles shouted in agreement.
Robert went on to say, "Lysa Tully had an affair, gave birth to an illegitimate son, deceived the nobles of the Vale, and usurped the Duke's position for her illegitimate son. She was guilty of an unforgivable crime. Deprive her of all rights in the Vale, and behead her illegitimate son together!"
”
There was no echo this time. Tully was from the Duke family, and two of them were still sitting at the scene.
Robert shouted "Dennis Arryn, the legitimate heir to the Duke of Vale!"
"Support Dennis Allin!"
The matter is over, the nobles of the valley have left King's Landing, and countless messenger crows have flown from King's Landing to all parts of the country.

Mace Tyrell returned home and informed his servants to ask his daughter, Rose Margaery, to come over. He didn’t understand how Matus Rowan, who had never been a distinguished person before, could perform so brilliantly today.<
/p>
Not long after Little Rose arrived, word of what happened in the Red Castle spread quickly, and she also understood the cause and effect of the incident.
"Father, Matus Rowan is not the dull person you imagined. He has a profound family background. His ancestors served as kings and served as regents. After his second daughter became the queen, his ambitions
It was exposed."
Mace Tyrell "But he is my vassal! Shouldn't he support me?"
Little Rose looked at her father, "He was seen going to the Red Keep with the other four lords of the Reach last night. I wonder if my father noticed it. They are all families that claim to be descendants of Green Hand."
Mace Tyrell "Then so do we! My mother, the Redwyne family, is from Gilbert the Vine, and my wife, your mother, is from the Hightower family. The Hightower family also has Malice the Maiden.
bloodline."
Little Rose was silent. It seemed that with her father's current consciousness, he really couldn't be the prime minister and take the initiative to change the subject of blood.
"Father, the nobles in the valley are the most suspicious of destroying the Arryn family tree, but I suspect that it was Matus Rowan who did it!"
"Ah!?" Mace Tyrell looked surprised.
Little Rose "His newly appointed King's Hand needs to establish his authority. This matter is big enough for him to leave his name in the history books! He may not have thought of these plans alone. It is possible for the five of their families to unite! The genealogy is placed in Maegor's Tower.
It’s the king’s palace and it’s difficult to enter, but don’t forget that he is the queen’s father, and the closest person to those maids is the queen.”
Mace Tyrell was surprised "Is this true?"
Little Rose was a little annoyed, "It's fake! It's just my guess!"
Mace Tyrell "So what do we do now?"
Little Rose "The Tarly family of the Reach is also descended from the twin sons of Green Hands. Not long after Lord Randyll Tarly died in the battle, his two sons have now separated their families. Samwell Tarly is still very young and can let his eldest brother
Help him find a position in Highgarden, and try to win over the new earl in business. Ask grandma about other family matters."
