Shi Miyuan thought for a while and said, "Sect Master, it's not difficult to arrange a military post for Gu Aotian, but you can't rashly assign him too high. Otherwise, people will criticize you. I'm not a man of my word in the imperial court. There are many so-called officials and scholars who regard me as a traitor. "
Bai Xiaowen thought to himself, You are a traitor. Why are you afraid of others talking about you?
However, on the surface, Bai Xiaowen was still very calm. He nodded slightly and said, "Speak your mind."
Shi Miyuan said, "I can set up a new 'Loyal and Brave Battalion' in the Huaidong Army. Gu Aotian will be the commander of the Loyal and Brave Battalion. "
"Commander?"
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes.
The military posts of the Southern Song Dynasty were not randomly assigned. The military posts were divided into two categories: Rank Officer and Rank Officer. Rank Officer was equivalent to the modern military rank, while Rank Officer was equivalent to the position.
There were a total of 52 ranks in the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, the Southern Song Dynasty valued the civil and despised the military. No matter how high the rank of a general was, he was not higher than the civil officials. Especially the generals who led the troops outside, many of them were below the fifth rank. Naturally, they were controlled by the civil officials.
For example, Yue Fei enlisted in the army at the age of 20 and made a lot of contributions. It was not until six years later that he became a Rank Seven Martial Scholar (40th rank). In terms of military rank, he was promoted by 13 ranks because the lowest rank was Rank Nine Cheng Xinlang (52nd rank).
"Commander" was a position. Corresponding to military rank, it was the position of a Rank Seven Martial Scholar.
Shi Miyuan thought that Bai Xiaowen was dissatisfied with the low rank. He said with a bitter face, "Sect Master, placing someone in the army for no reason is already the limit. For this, I have to forge a series of meritorious deeds and promotion records of Gu Aotian. There are more than a dozen official procedures that I have to go through."
Bai Xiaowen was slightly surprised. He did not expect the Song Dynasty's system to be so detailed. As the Prime Minister, it was not easy to appoint a Rank Seven officer.
In fact, the main reason was that Abaddon appeared out of thin air and did not participate in the Military Selection. There was no such person in the army before. The difficulty of the arrangement was like appointing a commoner to be a deputy county head in modern times. There were many systems and rules that were obstacles.
Of course, the Song's system was very detailed. From another perspective, it was' redundant officials'. There were many officials but few affairs... It was very inconvenient to manage many things.... in the end, it became a situation.
"Huaidong Loyal and Brave Battalion Commander. Who's your superior?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Shi Miyuan said, "It's Huaidong's Resettlement Commissioner Liu Gu."
He sounded like a civil official when he heard the official title.
Bai Xiaowen asked again. Sure enough, this was the case. ..... Liu................
.............
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything else. Instead, he said, "Alright, you can go now. Get the Bone King an official position as soon as possible."
....
Shi Miyuan hesitated and said, "Honorable Sect Master, that Zhen Dexiu already knows my identity as a fiendish demon. If I let him return to the Imperial Court, it's hard to say what will happen."
It was obvious that Shi Miyuan wanted to kill him. He wanted Bai Xiaowen to silence him.
... Bai Xiaowen said, "Don't worry. I will make this person disappear. However, this person went missing while inviting you to the appointment, so it's inevitable that others will suspect you. "
Shi Miyuan said confidently, "Absolutely no problem. When Lord Yue Shan arrived, didn't the sky fill with black clouds and strange winds appear? The four experts by my side also died. I can say that I encountered a tiger demon. Zhen Dexiu was eaten by the tiger demon. Later, a Daoist expert passed by and saved me. That was why I survived. Lord Yue Shan's skeleton can also be used as evidence. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded. This Shi Miyuan's brain was quite sharp.
A fiendish demon who wasn't smart wouldn't be able to get to the position of Prime Minister and not fall for decades.
"It's so troublesome to drop an official of the seventh rank out of nowhere. It's so easy to make a court official disappear …" Bai Xiaowen shook his head and sighed again. In fact, although the system of the Song Dynasty was detailed, it was far from being complete, let alone perfect.
After controlling Shi Miyuan, the Prime Minister, the following things would be much easier.
First of all, Shi Miyuan, as the leader of the fiendish demons, gathered the "Three Ferocious" demons led by Li Zhixiao. Then, Bai Xiaowen led the Four Heavenly Kings, Sheji, and the Wrath Claw to appear. After a little deterrence, these demons submitted.
In fact, the safest way was to let Vladimir turn them into vampires' slaves. However, the "Night Embrace" skill was only useful against humans. It was ineffective against demons. Therefore, they could only use this method to intimidate them.
Two days later, Shi Miyuan asked Li Zhixiao to successfully forge the resume of an officer named "Gu Long, Ao Tian". His promotion process could be investigated in detail.
Here, even in the feudal dynasty, it wasn't a big deal for the people to have the word "Long" in their names. For example, Yue Fei's "Double Spear Lu Wenlong", and the Qing Dynasty's "Yu Chenglong", etc. If dragons were not allowed, then there wouldn't be the surname of Long among the hundred surnames.
Shi Miyuan personally handed the "certificate of appointment" (certificate of appointment, official diploma) to Abaddon.
Abaddon then went to Huaidong. His current appearance was a two-meter-tall burly man covered in armor. He wasn't much different from an ordinary human, especially when he was wearing a helmet. No one could tell the difference in his appearance.
In this state, he could unleash 60% to 70% of Abaddon's strength.
Only when he was fighting with all his strength would Abaddon transform into the appearance of the Death Knight Lord. His eyes flickered with soul fire, and he was three meters tall. If his true form was exposed, he would definitely be seen as inhuman. Therefore, when there were other Song Ting allies on the battlefield, Abaddon couldn't transform into his true form and fight with all his strength.
Bai Xiaowen ordered Sig to Deliver the unconscious Zhen Dexiu to the headquarters of the Changsen Sect, Black Sky Peak, and let the skeleton workers guard him.
Although it was called guarding, it was actually providing food and water on time to prevent Zhen Dexiu from starving to death.
Even if there was no one guarding him, Zhen Dexiu wouldn't be able to walk out of the maze of Black Sky Peak.
Due to his moral bottom line, Bai Xiaowen didn't kill Zhen Dexiu or turn him into a member of the Blood Race. This was because Zhen Dexiu was a famous Confucian scholar. Although he was a bit old-fashioned, he had a strong character and wasn't greedy. Bai Xiaowen didn't want to kill such a person if he had a choice.
In the current Great Song Imperial Court, there were very few such people.
Including Shi Miyuan's other political enemies, they all had a lot of dark history and weren't clean. They attacked Shi Miyuan as an "evil minister" just to fight for power. In essence, they were the same kind of people as Shi Miyuan.
Bai Xiaowen didn't hold back against such people. He ordered Vladimir to take action. Within three days, he turned two of them into Blood Race slaves to monitor Shi Miyuan.
