Chapter 122: Joffrey is a bit panicked
The old lion Tywin was speechless. He thought it was something else, but the result was this.
But Joffrey is the king after all, so even if it's just playing house, he has to play it with Joffrey.
"You are always welcome to attend your royal meetings, Your Majesty, if you wish."
Before Tywin could finish his perfunctory words, Joffrey interrupted him with some dissatisfaction.
"I've been very busy lately. I have to prepare for my wedding. As a king, I have a lot of things to do every day."
Tywin said calmly, "Of course."
Joffrey looked up at Tywin, then said tentatively, "You did not hold the council in the Council Chamber, but moved it to the Tower of the Hand."
"That's right." Tywin told Joffrey directly without hiding it or making excuses.
Joffrey asked unconsciously in an upward tone, "May I ask why?"
There was a hint of disdain in Tywin's eyes. If you are so busy, why should I deal with so many troublesome matters?
"I work in the Tower of the Prime Minister. Running back and forth is a waste of time. I can save that time to deal with important matters."
At this time, Tywin's patience has almost reached its limit. Joffrey's marriage is imminent, and he has to convince the old woman Olenna to pay for the marriage because the gold mines in the West are about to be exhausted.
"So, if I want to attend the Imperial Council, I have to climb the stairs of the Prime Minister's Tower?"
Tywin looked at Joffrey on the throne, was silent for a second, and slowly walked up the steps.
When he came to Joffrey, the altitude changed. Tywin looked down at Joffrey sitting on the throne, and his powerful aura enveloped him.
At this moment, Joffrey leaned back in his chair unconsciously. He began to panic and at the same time regretted his impulsiveness today.
"I can send someone to carry you up," Tywin's voice was a little cold.
Joffrey raised his hands twice, somewhat bewildered, not knowing how to proceed.
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he said seriously: "Tell me about the Targaryen girl in the east and her man and dragon."
"Where did you hear that?"
"Is it true that all King's Landing knows about it?" said Joffrey.
Tywin frowned slightly. It seemed that someone deliberately spread the news to create panic, but he didn't notice it.
"It should be true, but after all, we haven't seen it."
"Don't you think we should do something? Like take the initiative?"
Joffrey had a rare far-sighted view of this.
"When I was Hand to the king before your father, the skulls of all the Targaryen dragons were here."
Tywin looked at the ground and saw the dragon bones beneath the throne room.
"The skull of the last dragon is right here. It's only the size of an apple."
Joffrey frowned. "But the largest one was as big as a carriage."
"Yes, but that dragon died three hundred years ago."
"But now dragons have appeared again, and those monsters that once conquered the world have appeared in Westeros!" Joffrey's voice became much louder.
"In areas where these kings are not good at, I have already summoned consultants who are good at this to study how to deal with dragons."
"Also, it takes a long time for a dragon to grow into a giant dragon. It usually only grows one meter a year. You don't need to worry."
Tywin certainly knew how great the threat posed by dragons was, but now they couldn't do anything even if they wanted to.
The Targaryens were far away in Slaver's Bay, and the Seven Kingdoms had no fleet capable of fighting across such a long distance.
Moreover, they were facing an army of 30,000 and three dragons, so there was no chance of winning.
The only thing they can do is to eliminate all possible Targaryen allies in Westeros, secure the Iron Throne, and then find a way to make Daenerys take the initiative to attack when the dragon is not big.
But this is not the most difficult thing to deal with. The most difficult thing to deal with is Daenerys's children. As long as Daenerys has heirs, the Iron Throne will never be stable.
Joffrey spread his hands, as if he wanted to say something else.
But Tywin had obviously lost his patience and turned away, saying a polite word to Joffrey before leaving.
"I will take my leave now, Your Majesty."
"."
Joffrey, who wanted to regain some self-esteem, was defeated again, and it was not his fault.
The only one who could talk to Tywin and gain some advantage was the sharp-tongued Queen of Thorns, Olenna.
Olenna is known as the Queen of Thorns, the mother of the current Duke of Riverland and the grandmother of Margaery the Rose.
Her political skills are no worse than Tywin's, and she has a thorough understanding of many things.
For example, the news coming from Dorne and the Vale now.
Olenna eats a piece of dry cheese and asks Margaery what she thinks of it.
"I don't know. A 10-meter dragon may grow to 20 or 30 meters in a short time, and then take back the Iron Throne that belongs to its family."
"That's right, and you are going to marry Baratheon, the son of the usurper. If you become pregnant, the Targaryen family may burn you and your child to death with dragon flames."
Olenna seemed to have no worries at all, and was even in the mood to scare Margaery.
Margaery sighed, "I just want to be the queen. My first husband was a gay and died in an assassination. I finally managed to control my second husband, but now I have to risk being burned to death at any time."
Olenna touched Margaery's hair lovingly. This granddaughter has been smart since she was young, and she has been personally nurturing her by her side.
Now he is as scheming and skillful as hers. The only thing he lacks is experience, decisiveness and ruthlessness.
This little granddaughter always had a trace of kindness in her heart, which caused her to always fight with others within the rules, thus losing her unscrupulous heart.
"Don't worry, you are my most beloved granddaughter. I will take care of everything. Just attend the wedding with peace of mind. I will not let the dragon fire threaten you."
A hint of cruelty flashed in Olenna's eyes, because the information she received could not be confirmed, and she was not sure how big the dragon was.
But since we can't deal with the dragon, let's deal with Joffrey!
As long as Tyrell returns to the opposition again, he can continue to watch the fire from the other side of the river and make a decision after observing the situation.
This is how the Tyrells got the Reach. Patience and situation are the secrets to their "endless survival".
Margaery didn't realize what her grandmother was trying to do; she just took it as Olenna's words to comfort her.
Little did she know that her second husband would die at her own wedding.
It can be said that Joffrey's Purple Wedding is a very gratifying thing, because for most Game of Thrones fans, there are only two pure villains in the entire Game of Thrones.
"The Greatest Emperor" Joffrey Baratheon and Ramsay Bolton the Flayed.
These two people are different from the good and evil of other characters. These two people only show extreme evil to the audience.
Especially Ramsay Bolton, who is a cruel man himself, and madly imitates his family's traditions for his own identity.
In fact, the Bolton family has not returned to its old business of skinning people for a long time.
