At the end of the third episode of the seventh season of "Game of Thrones", when James walked into the Queen of Thorns' room, the music played, it was "The Rains of Castamere", and the old rose had a look on her face. Calm, proud and slightly sad, this sad music is the victory song of the Lannister family. In the whole play, every time this song appears, someone will be tragic.

"The Rains of Castamere" is a song that describes Tywin's purge of vassals who were disrespectful to the family, causing the Reyes and Tarbeck families to be completely wiped out, and the city to be in ruins.

The full text of the song is translated as follows:

How virtuous and capable are you? Sir Alex proudly declared,

You want me to surrender to you?

The colors are different and the power is not inferior.

Each one shows his or her magical powers and is ranked high or low.

The red lion fights the yellow lion,

the claws are sharp and merciless.

Use deadly strikes and ruthless moves,

Don’t forget, don’t forget,

Oh, he said so, he said so.

Thus said the lord of Castamere.

However, today, during the rainy season,

the rain is crying in the hall, but there is no one inside.

However, today, every rainy season,

The rain is crying in the hall, but there is no soul inside.

When Tywin was a boy, his father Tytos was a kind man, but he was fatuous and weak. In addition to secretly mocking him as a toothless lion or a laughing lion, the lords under him even borrowed Lannister The family's money was never repaid, and the vassals almost turned a blind eye to Titos's orders. Land disputes between the big and small lords continued for years. The bullied small lords no longer asked Titos for justice, but organized armed resistance on their own. .

At the same time, the Greyjoy family of the Iron Islands saw the chaos in the West and began to invade the coastline of the West. The young Tywin heard the vassals openly laughing at his father in private. The young man saw the crisis in his family. From then on, he rarely smiled again and no longer trusted anyone. Under Titos's incompetent rule, House Lannister is about to fall into the abyss.

After Tywin came of age, he bypassed his father and governed Casterly Rock with an iron fist, requiring everyone who had borrowed money from the Lannister family to pay back the money, and those who were unable to repay must offer hostages to Casterly Rock. At the same time, a raven message was sent to the Reyes and Tarbeck families, the most disrespectful among the vassals, asking them to come to Casterly Rock to confess their sins and pay back the money. Maybe I've been suffering from the disease for too long. What the Reyes family meant in their reply was probably this:

Boy, who are you? Do you want me to surrender too? I don't even pay attention to your father. We are all lions, you are just a yellow-haired kitten, and I am a red lion. We all have claws, but my claws are longer and sharper than yours. Are you a P? !

At this time, Tywin had already experienced the Battle of Nine Coins, and his talent as a military strategist had already emerged. After receiving the rejection letters from the two major families, Tywin immediately announced that the two vassals had been regarded as Rebellion, led troops to conquer Reyes and Tabek personally. With his swift soldiers, Tywin only took one day to break through Tarbeck's supposedly fortified city gate, and executed all the men of the Tarbeck family. Before his death, Tarbeck's Wadley wanted to pay a ransom to save his life. Tywin replied: Do you want to trade our money for your own life? The Tarbeck castle was then burned to ashes.

A few days later, the Lannister army led by Tywin arrived at Castamere, the castle of the arrogant Reyes family. Castameme is a semi-underground castle that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Because the Reyes family also started out in mining and owned rich gold and silver deposits. When the mines were dug deeper and deeper and the veins were exhausted, the space of this underground castle became larger and larger. After several generations of construction, the entire bunker became The space is huge, and there are complex tunnels connecting it. The food and grass are complete, and the living environment is comfortable. To the uninformed eye, it seems that Castelme is only a small part above ground.

When Tywin arrived, the "Red Lion" of the Reyes family had been seriously injured in the battle and hid in the bunker with his tribe. "Red Lion"'s younger brother Renaldo thought that the underground tunnels were complicated. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the entrance to the bunker is very narrow. Only two knights can withstand thousands of troops. It will definitely be a protracted battle, and Tywin on the ground is helpless except to guard the exit.

Therefore, someone was sent to Tywin to propose a reconciliation between the two parties. Perhaps it was because Tywin's father, Tytos, had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for many years as a weak and deceitful person. When things got to this point, Renaldo thought that he still had the advantage, and even proposed that the condition of reconciliation was that Tywin would marry both of them. His younger brothers Kevan and Tigai were sent as hostages to Castamere to guarantee their security.

The lion has just been sleeping for many years. Do you really think he is a sheep? It's a pity that the golden lion of the Lannister family has awakened and will never tolerate any more bullying and betrayal!

Aren’t you hiding underground and not coming out? Well, you'll never come out! Don't forget, Casterly Rock is also a city above a mine. Lannister also knows about the ley lines and mines. Tywin ordered the miners to completely seal the main entrances and exits with earth and stones. At the same time, he discovered a stream named Castamere on the map, which has the same name as the castle. Tywin ordered the miners to build a dam and divert the water into a mine. entrance, allowing water to pour into the bunker. People from outside couldn't get in, but people inside couldn't get out either. Not only could they not get out, they had no way to escape. No one in the Reyes family survived. At the same time, Tywin burned the buildings on the ground, destroyed the city, and killed people.

That year, Tywin was nineteen years old.

A year later, twenty-year-old Tywin became Hand of the King, becoming the youngest Hand of the King in the history of the Seven Kingdoms.

The lion has awakened, and no one in the Westerlands dares to surrender to the Lannister.

"Lannister, you must pay your debts!"

Later, a singer adapted this battle into a song called "The Rains of Castamere" which spread throughout the world. The Western Region and the Seven Kingdoms.

It is said that many years later, when the Farman family in Fairy City began to lose control, Tywin just sent a harpist to play the song "The Rains of Castamere", and the Farman family immediately Be honest.

It is not difficult to see from this story that Cersei inherited Tywin's ruthlessness and determination, but she was far less intelligent and ambitious than her father.

So far, "The Rains of Castamere" has only appeared three times. The first time it appeared in the hall of the Twins City, and then the bloody wedding that the North will never forget happened. The third time, at the wedding of Joffrey and Little Rose, this song played again, and Joffrey was poisoned and died in an instant. The third time, in Highgarden, this song played again, and the senior player Old Rose was forced to go offline. .

I suddenly remembered Tywin’s famous saying: The lion doesn’t care what the sheep thinks.

There is also what Old Rose taught the Dragon Queen: Only those who are afraid will obey. You are a dragon, and a dragon must be like a dragon!

In the Game of Thrones, the winner is king, and the strong never care about what the weak think!

Dragon Queen, and Tyrion, Hand of the Queen, are you going to cause trouble like this if you insist on regaining the hearts of the people? ! Without victory, how can we talk about popular support?

Also, Cersei knows almost all of Tyrion’s battle plans, and they are all accurate! Who was the tipper? Is it the translator beside the queen, or the one who wants to be loyal? Or the Lannister beside the Queen?

Next Monday, the fourth episode may give us the answer, maybe not, let’s wait and see!
