The last three episodes of the first season were extremely heavy because of Ed Stark’s death . When I first saw it, I thought Jade was the protagonist, and then it was so easy to hang up. This also established the tone of the drama "Everybody has a death." .
These three episodes are not only the family catastrophe of Stark, but also the rebirth of the dragon mother, and also the self-growth of Xue Nuo.

Death to King: Tragedy Caused by One Thought of Benevolence
Vares went to the jail to see Ruide twice, but at this time Ruide had no idea that the little devil had retreated from Aylin Valley, and Stark had already lost the bargaining chip. Jie De innocently asked Vares why he couldn't save him. He thought he would not be killed, and he did not expect his eldest son Robb Stark to lead the rebellion in order to save himself.
It is not that Jie De has no political sense at all, otherwise the Stark family will not rule the Northern Territory for so many years. He saw that Varys was not a simple person, so he asked Varys in prison: "Who do you work for?"
Jie De originally had a good hand and had many opportunities to beat Lannister, but every time he didn't seize it, because he didn't know how to make allies and take advantage of strength.
First chance:
Aunt Cat (Caitlin Tully) captured the little devil, and Tywin Lannister sent his demon mountain to the river to make chaos. The original book seems to say that the flower knight Lolas Tyrell once took the initiative to attack the demon mountain. But Ruide didn't agree, instead he sent his subordinate Lightning King Bailey Dondelion to deal with it.
The Hundred Flower Knights had a festival with the Devil Mountain because of the martial arts competition. This is a good opportunity to win the Tyrell family in the high court to stand on the opposite side of the Lannister family. It is a pity that he did not make this ally.
Second chance:
When King Robert was critically ill , Renly Baratheon once approached Jade, and he could give Jade 100 people to hijack Prince Joffrey, which is the so-called "holding the emperor to order the princes." With the friendship between Lan Li and Hundred Flower Knights, it would not be impossible for Ruide to draw the Tyrell family in the High Court over if he followed Lan Li's suggestion.
However, with a strong sense of justice and honor, Jade rejected Lan Li's proposal, lost the chance of preemptive strike, and at the same time became completely alone.
At this time, even if Ruide didn't plan to escape back to the North, he still had time to send his two daughters back to Winterfell, but it was a pity that it was too late when he finally remembered this.
Third chance:
Jade learns that Robert is wearing a green hat, and that the three children born to the king and queen are all the children of Queen Cersei Lannister and his brother James Lannister. This is equivalent to holding a handle of the Lannister family, and you can make a big fuss about this matter.
Littlefinger also reminded Jade that he could make peace with Lannister first. If Joffrey becomes a throne and does something unfavorable to them in the future, it can be done as Littlefinger said: "We only need to expose his little secret, and then Master Lan Li took the throne."
However, Ruide chose to start a showdown and took the initiative to find Cersei for a showdown.
Fourth chance:
So from the imprisonment of Jie De to the final execution, is there no chance during this period? Still have.
Cersei’s original idea was to let Jade confess his guilt in the public, and then save his life and let him return to the north to be a night watchman, but the behavior of King Joffrey was beyond everyone’s expectation. He chose to execute him. Germany.
Jie De talks about honor where it shouldn't be, but doesn't talk about honor where it should be the most. For example, before the execution, he could give an exciting speech like the Little Devil in Season 4. His situation at this time was much better than that of the Little Devil, because not only the nobles but also the people of King's Landing were present. Even if there is no good eloquence, telling the truth truthfully is enough to mess up the whole scene and make Joffrey mess with himself. Most importantly, this would make Robb's dispatch of troops look justified. If at this time there is Lan Li, Stannis or even Robb in Junlin City, one of the three parties may be able to take advantage of the chaos and robbery.
Jie De did not seize the last chance, but confessed the unnecessarily crime. Jie De is doing everything he can to defend the honor of his friend Robert as he said, even if he buckles the shit basin on himself.
Little did he know that the king had already become Westeros's joke, it was just a matter of one more and one less, because dying in the hands of a wild boar was as embarrassing as being put on a green hat. Even if a bard had his tongue cut, several bards would stand up and sing the "great feats" of the former king.
After Cersei was imprisoned, she asked Sansa to write a letter to Robb, asking him to go to King’s Landing to swear allegiance to the new king Joffrey. After receiving the letter, Robb chose to march south. Although this move is as bloody as the little devil said, I personally seem to be a bit reckless. After all, this move is equivalent to a rebellion for the masses who don't know the truth in Westeros.
In fact, the most dangerous places are often the safest . I think Robb might as well go to King's Landing. If you pretend to surrender, you will be jailed. Bring Cat Aunt Caitlin Tully (the purpose is to win Littlefinger and Varys by playing favor cards, coercion and lure, etc., based on the IQ of the two people should come up with a complete jailbreak plan) .
Robb should have drawn Stannis and Lanli early, so that, as marked on the map above, purple is Stannis and green is Lanli. Stannis can start from Longshidao via Blackwater Bay in Junlin City. . Lan Li led his troops from the Tyrell family's high court to attack Kaiyan City, Lannister's nest.
But in the play, after his father Jie De was executed, Robinson and the northern families discussed whether to submit to Stannis or Lanly or make himself king.
Sansa & Arya: Patience & Displacement
Tell me about the two girls Sansa and Arya from the Stark family. Although Sansa was ridiculed by the audience as three fools at first, she lacked the qualities of a wolf family, but she was not without wisdom and courage.
After his father was imprisoned, as the daughter of a traitor, Sansa interceded for his father before the imperial court, regardless of the eyes of the people. Here is the attitude of the scholar:
When Littlefinger asked whether to deny the crime of Jiede, Sansa was very flexible to defend Jiede's behavior, saying that his father was bewitched by others.
Regarding Joffrey’s doubts, Sansa succeeded in throwing the pot away to the fellow scholar who had always been determined:
Finally, play the emotional card, move with affection, and understand with reason:
Sansa's actions also won Varys's praise: "The so-called wisdom often comes from the mouth of children. " Varys is also speaking for Sansa to some extent.
Of course, everyone knows that if the king is replaced by anyone except Joffrey, maybe Sansa will succeed.
Joffrey cruelly hung the head of Jiede and his servants on the city wall as a gift to Sansa, and forced her to stare at the head of his father Jiede. In the conversation with Joffrey, it can be seen that Sansa has the blood of the wolf family in her bones.
Sansa thought about pushing Joffrey down and die with him, but was stopped by a witty hound. From then on, Sansa began to bear the humiliation of the King’s Landing life.
Ulen went to King's Landing to recruit manpower for the Night Watch. He first glanced at Arya and thought she was a boy.
Erya, Arya, witnessed her father's death. She was rescued by Ulen, cut off her long hair and pretended to be a boy, mixed in the rookie's army and sent to Winterfell, where she began a life of exile.
In addition to beheading Ed Stark, Joffrey also fired the captain of the Royal Forest Guard Barristan Selmi.
When Barristan said the above sentence "Only death can relieve the sacred mission of Yulin Tiewei" , I thought he was going to bravely die for the spirit of chivalry, blood spattering on the spot. Of course, not all people are Ed Stark. The premise that a single spark can start a prairie fire is that your life is still alive . Barristan expressed his dissatisfaction with cursing, but if he did not put down his sword and accept the proposal of retirement at that time, there would probably be no story of sacrifice for Long Ma later.
The beheading of Ed Stark and the dismissal of the prestigious Barristan Selmi, these two stupid behaviors made Tywin, who had always asked the Lannisters not to be stupid , very dissatisfied, so he sent the little devil to King's Landing. Instead of accepting the post of prime minister, he supervised the words and deeds of his grandson Joffrey and his daughter Cersei.
From the marching map of Robb Stark above, it can be seen that Robb is located in the gray water view , which is the area marked in blue in the picture below, and the pink is the location of the Lannister garrison. Robb actually has two roads going south, but the Taiwen garrison is near the Three Rivers of King's Road, which is equivalent to blocking the route of King's Road.
So if Robb wanted to go south, he could only cross the river, and he would have to borrow the city of Luanhe from Daovad Frey's family.
The Frey family are vassals of the Tuli family. Wald Frey is very cunning. He was late in the trident battle between Robert Baratheon and Rega Targaryen. He was called the "Late Marquis Frey" and more than six hundred. They never forgot to collect bridge fees.
Old Frey married many wives and many children. He has always wanted to marry the Tuli family, but was disliked by the cat's father Lao Tuli.
The price Robb wants to get help from the Frey family is that he needs to marry a daughter of Varde Frey and the second Arya must marry his son Vado. Robb, who was eager to save his father, of course agreed to the marriage.
Upon hearing the news of her husband's beheading, Caitlin Tully, who was originally grieved, still had to comfort her sad son Robb. This scene looked very distressing.
Robb's army had a total of 18,000 people at this time. He sent 2,000 people to deal with Tai Wen's main force, and he unexpectedly took the main force to Running City and successfully captured James Lannister.
Tai Wen had previously accused the little devil of being captured by Caitlin Tully: "If it were your brother, he would never be taken away easily." Tai Wen was beaten in the face like this.
Bachelor: Knight of the Soul
There are four main bachelors in Westeros: the Queen ’s Bachelor , Imon Targaryen, Bachelor of Night Watch, Luwin, Bachelor of Winterfell, and Fat Sam, who is about to return from his studies in the future.
They constitute a unique landscape and play an important role.
I happened to see a short film about bachelor's degree (thanks to Renren's subtitle group for the translation) in the past two days. A screenshot is posted below. In short, it is very detailed. After reading it, it will strengthen the understanding of the bachelor's position.
small theater:
Then, Joffrey the Great came over from behind them.
The birth of a true dragon: another consequence caused by kindness
This is another tragedy caused by kindness. Long Ma was very kind and rescued the raped Mili Maz Duer. The horse king Zhuogo Kao and his subordinate Margo fell out because of this. During the fight, the horse king was injured and became unconscious.
In order to save her husband, Long Ma asked the witch to use blood magic, but the witch did not tell Long Ma that the price was that her son would be born a monster and die. The witch did not appreciate Long Ma's life-saving grace.
The horse king's life was retained, but it was like a living dead. Most of Dothraki's men left him, but only a few remained.
Long Ma understood that being kind to the enemy was cruel to herself, so she cruelly suffocated the horse king and held a cremation for him. The witch and witch Mili Maz Duer, three dragon eggs and herself served as a funeral.
The dragon mother rushed into the raging fire like this. When everything disappeared the next day, only the dragon mother and three small dragons of different shapes were left. From this, the real dragon was born, and everyone worshipped Daenerys as the queen. .
The Great Wall of the North: The Night Watcher Army takes the initiative to attack
The commander of the Night's Watch not only cultivated Jon Snow as his future successor, but also regarded him as his son. He gave the long claws made of Valyrian steel, which was passed down in the family for five hundred years, to Snow.
Bachelor night watchman blind Eamonn Targaryen 's father was Meca I, he was quietly awarded the king's, but he refused. He ceded the rule of the kingdom to his younger brother, Aegon Targaryen V (Father of the Mad King).
In order to prevent being used by others to usurp his brother's throne, he chose to go to the Great Wall to join the Night Watch Corps.
When Snow was wavering to leave the Night Watch because of the Stark family’s suffering, Bachelor Yimon told Snow how he came when the Targaryen family was almost wiped out. He used his own experience to persuade Snow to be loyal to his duty. .
When Jon Snow learned that Jade had been killed and planned to flee late at night to save the Stark family, the night watchman brothers headed by Sam stopped him.
The commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, Geor Mormont, also told Snow that the war they were facing at this time was even more cruel. If evil things such as evil spirits invade, it would make no difference whoever sits on the Iron Throne.
The commander-in-chief decides to personally lead the night watchman army northward, find out the situation, find Bunyan Stark, and fight to the death with the savages.
Jon Snow decided to follow the Night Watch Legion to the north. His identity was no longer an illegitimate child, but a night watchman.
Should one live humble or die noble? Everyone’s answer is different. Death is an easy thing. Living humble may be nobler than dying gloriously, because living has the chance to create miracles.
