Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 12 12. Let's Discuss
Joffrey glanced at Cersei with a smug expression, and then at the silent ministers below, feeling even more rampant in his heart.

Although Joffrey was cruel, he was not a fool. Facing the obedience and disobedience of the ministers, he felt in his heart that it was his mother who really ruled King's Landing.

The sudden appearance of Theon now made him feel real power. This feeling of being feared by everyone made him very addicted. He liked to listen to other people's screams and taste their fear.

Cersei looked at Theon angrily, and Theon pretended not to see it. Many times, when there is a general in the court who supports the emperor without power, it means that the disputes in the court are about to begin.

Theon's idea is to rely on Joffrey and use Joffrey to strengthen himself.

The meeting ended and Theon found Joffrey alone.

"Your Majesty, it is very dangerous to face a siege of nearly 10 people with only five thousand gold robes and two thousand five hundred ironmen. We need to recruit troops."

"Conscription? But Petyr says the treasury has run out of money," Joffrey had asked before, and he had wanted to fix up the palace.

"Your Majesty, I will find a way, but I need your permission to expand the army." Only then did Theon reveal his real purpose.

Joffrey waved his hand: "Do your best, the more defenders, the better!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

With Joffrey's permission, it was official conscription.

After going out, Theon immediately led people to the slums.

"Select people in their 20s from the group of refugees, and try to pick the ones who are in good condition." Facing these refugees, they only need a poor-quality full meal every day to make them work hard.

Theon intends to select 400 people every three days to facilitate control and indoctrination.

If there are too many people, it will not be easy to handle, and it will easily cause confusion.

These newly added refugees, Theon will not let them eat enough, maintain two meals a day, each meal is half full, and if they perform well, they can eat [-]% full.

In this way, they can develop the habit of obeying orders as soon as possible, and they will not be allowed to go out of the city to fight anyway.

The current situation looks like, at most one or two months, Stannis will use shadow magic to assassinate Renly. At this stage, Stark has just assembled his troops, Renly Baratheon and Stannis Baratheon The army has been assembled.

At present, the four kings are all on the sidelines and are not in a hurry to make a move, but the Stark family in the north must be the first to make a move. After all, only Stark belongs to the dead father.

The other three kings are all competing for the Iron Throne within the Baratheon family. At least Joffrey is still surnamed Baratheon on the surface.

After the transfer of people, Theon brought these people to his camp.

"Rubeus Segovia, these 400 people are handed over to you." Then he explained again, and left in a hurry until he confirmed that Rube understood what he meant.

After returning to his big camp, Xi En relaxed and slumped. He basically didn't stop today, and in addition to rushing on the road before, he didn't have a good rest.

After sleeping until the next morning, Theon didn't wake up.

After getting up and washing, Theon came to the Red Castle.

Sean naturally had an office arranged for him. Although it was just a temporary side hall, it was not too small, it was just a bit rudimentary.

Theon then brought the Golden Robe's roster and began to swipe the hoe at the Golden Robe.

While Theon was picking out the commoner's golden robe, Littlefinger strolled outside the door.

Boom boom boom!
"Please come in."

Littlefinger pushed the door open, "Hello, Duke Greyjoy!"

Seeing that it was Littlefinger, Xi En felt happy, and the money bag was delivered to the door right now?

Theon got up quickly and pulled a bench for Littlefinger, "Please sit down, Lord Baelish, I'm going to find you." Theon said with a smile.

Littlefinger and Theon sat opposite each other, "I heard that His Majesty the Duke plans to recruit troops, right? Sorry, with all due respect, our treasury"

"Lord Baelish, I remember that the food harvest seems to have just been finished, so there shouldn't be any shortage of food?"

Littlefinger showed a look of helplessness: "The food and taxes we receive are limited. Now that the war is about to break out, most of the taxes and food have been kept by the nobles themselves."

"And the food is still enough, but the golden dragon only has more than 2." Littlefinger added.

Theon leaned back tactically, frowning.

Littlefinger looked at Theon with a wry smile, as if hoping that Theon would come up with some good ideas to solve this problem.

Theon suddenly smiled, "Lord Baelish, why don't you help me expand my army with some golden dragons?"

Smiles don't disappear, they just shift.

Littlefinger's smile suddenly froze on his face, he really didn't expect someone to be so shameless.

"Your Excellency, although I am the Minister of Finance, I can't conjure a golden dragon out of thin air."

Theon suddenly got up and came behind Littlefinger, and put a hand on Littlefinger's shoulder, "But I heard that your brothels are all over the place?"

"My lord, mine", before Littlefinger finished speaking, Theon interrupted it.

"Master Baelish, let's not discuss this issue now, I suddenly remembered another thing." Theon said, walked to the window and closed it.

The room suddenly became darker.

Littlefinger was a little flustered at the moment, he wondered if Theon was as good as Long Yang.

Theon sat back in his seat, pinching his chin with one hand, and his tone and eyes brought a look of scrutiny: "I got news from here that the deaths of the two former prime ministers all had other reasons."

"I wonder how much Lord Baelish knows about this matter?

Ah yes!

We can ask Mrs. Lysa Tully, after all, she loves you so much that she is willing to do anything for you! "

Hearing Theon's words, Littlefinger's heart skipped a beat, but he showed an innocent look on the surface, saying that he didn't know anything, and that he and Lysa Tully were just childhood playmates.

Theon just tapped Erlang's leg and looked at Baelish. After being silent for a while, he continued, "Chaos is a ladder, but you must know, Littlefinger, that if you fall into the deepest part of chaos, it's like what Varys said, Chaos is the abyss, it will swallow everything!"

"You need to make a choice, whether to spend money to eliminate the disaster, or send yourself to the abyss? I know more than you think, my lord."

Cold sweat broke out on Baelish's forehead. He really didn't know how much Theon knew, but from the current point of view, it seemed that there was a lot!

"One hundred thousand golden dragons! How?" Baelish's voice trembled, as if he had been bloodletted.

"100 million!"

"It's impossible, I don't have that much money!"

"If Cersei and Tywin knew that you used the Valyrian dagger to set the blame on him."

"Let's discuss it!" Baelish hurriedly interrupted Theon.
