Everyone was shocked, how could the official name Bao Lingdan directly.
Although his official position was only the Commander-in-Chief of Zuotun Guard and the rank of Deputy Military Counselor, he was a real Marquis of Xingning, of superior rank. According to the etiquette system, Dazai Cai Bian had to greet him first and address him as Marquis.
Of course, this is just a etiquette. In fact, when Bao Lingdan met Dazai, Shaozai and several senior officials in the Privy Council, he also had to greet him with courtesy. But the title was there, and the senior officials were more polite than others when they met him.
many.
Honorable status.
Isn't it necessary to rectify the local government? Why did the officials name Bao Lingdan as soon as they came up? Everyone felt that something was unusual, and they held their breath and did not dare to express their anger.
Bao Lingdan was even more frightened - he had previously suspected that something happened in Chuzhou and his nephew might be involved. However, he sent someone to inquire, but there was no reply or any news about it, so he just took a chance and thought nothing was wrong.
Now that Guan Jia suddenly called his name, there was no doubt that a nine-day purple sky thunder descended from the clear sky, giving him an electric shock from body to soul.
Bao Lingdan stood up in a panic and replied in a trembling voice: "The general is here!"
"Bao Lingdan, you have a nephew named Bao Du?" Zhao Si's tone was calm, but everyone felt that it was the quietest moment before the storm.
"Back...back...to your majesty, General Mo has a nephew named Bao Du. He is the orphan of Mo General's brother. He was raised by Mo General since he was a child."
"I heard that Bao Du was going to be admitted to Huaide camp, but you were reluctant and insisted on staying with you?"
"Yes...yes, Your Majesty." Bao Lingdan was shaking all over and his head was covered with sweat.
All the civil and military officials in the hall watched with sympathy.
This was a fierce general who had won the first batch of the Grand Medal of Hussars. He marched alone into thousands of troops and conquered the enemy's city first in a bloody battle without blinking an eye. However, when the officials calmly questioned him, he was so frightened that he lost his mind.
"It's a good thing you stayed with me, otherwise, my face and the face of my Huaide camp would have been completely embarrassed by him."
Bao Lingdan couldn't bear it anymore and fell to his knees with a thud, his upper body lying on the ground and his forehead touching the ground.
"The last one will know the crime, the last one will know the crime!"
Bao Lingdan, who had killed dozens of Xixia warriors and generals, was like a sheep, prostrate on the ground, without any thought of resistance.
"Guilty? I think you know nothing! You are just a mallet! You didn't even know you were being used as a gun!" Zhao Si cursed fiercely! His deep love and painful feelings were clearly revealed.
Bao Lingdan raised his head, his face was covered with sweat, and his tiger eyes were full of doubts.
"I don't know? Who instigated your nephew Bao Du to go to Yancheng to do evil? Who are that group of people? Didn't you go check it out? Those are the children of the former salt merchants. After the new salt policy became popular,
These bastards have been cut off and can only live in vain, dreaming of regaining their former wealth."
"It just so happens that your unlucky nephew went to Jiangdu to be arrogant and domineering, and he didn't know how to restrain himself. As a result, he was noticed by others. Instigated by words, he went to Yancheng to plunder. Your Bao Mansion has made a fortune, but the bad ones are from the Song Dynasty.
New salt policy! When you stir up the salt workers into a crowd and get out of hand, do you know what will happen next?"
Bao Lingdan's face was full of regret at this time, and he said with tears: "The last one will know the crime, the last one will be stupid, the last one will know the crime!"
"Those hiding behind the scenes will bribe and gather a group of literati and officials to criticize the new salt policy in newspapers and courts, causing harm to the country and the people! Then they will take the opportunity to make noise and abolish the new salt policy, returning to the old salt stamp system.
, continue to make wealth and prosperity. And all the consequences and charges will be borne by you, Bao Lingdan, my Marquis Xingning. You bastard, can you bear this charge and responsibility?"
Bao Lingdan knelt on the ground, trembling all over. He didn't know whether he was angry or scared. After a while, he fell to the ground sluggishly and said in a trembling voice: "The general will be convicted, please punish me!"
Zhao Si stared at Bao Lingdan, with a look of hatred on his face.
"You're such a loser! You're a good fighter, but can you be more cunning than others? Do you really think pie will fall from the sky? That's a trap! Punishment? You can't escape!"
"I have secretly ordered Master Langya to control Zhao Huaizhong and take over the Zuotunwei Governor's Mansion."
Hearing this, everyone trembled in their hearts and lowered their heads involuntarily, as if they were the ones who were going to be punished.
"I am removing you from the post of Commander-in-Chief of Zuotun Guard, and you will be subject to a joint investigation by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dian Military Administration. How you will be punished depends on what the charges are! Your nephew Bao Du, as well as the people involved in the case, have been investigated by the Judicial Investigation Bureau in conjunction with Chu
Personnel from the state police department made an arrest and investigated.”
Zhao Si stared at Bao Lingdan with a complicated expression, "You have made great contributions to the Song Dynasty and shed blood for me. The Song Dynasty and I will remember these. I will not increase the punishment just because you are the Marquis of Xingning, so as to kill you
Monkey King. I and the Privy Council will not take away your Cavalry Medal and other medals. You bought them with your blood and half your life, and they are yours. You should wait for the Judiciary Council's decision and you'd better go and do your best.
Recuperate."
Bao Lingdan and everyone understood it.
Zhao Si's meaning was very clear. Bao Lingdan was not guilty of treason, rebellion or murder, and he was not the principal culprit. His life was not in danger. After investigation, it was clear that if the involvement was not deep, he might just be demoted.
But there will be no more official positions.
Zhao Si raised his head, glanced around the crowd, and his tone became serious.
"Those ghostly reptiles in Jiangdu City, do you think it's okay to hide behind them? They killed one of my generals, a marquis of the imperial court, and want to escape unscathed? Hum hum, Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Zongze responded bravely: "I'm here!"
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate sent a task force to investigate these guys. I don't believe that these bastards are all law-abiding people. If they are bullying men and dominating women, they will investigate tax evasion. They have been dormant for the past two years.
, just go back and check ten years ago. Whoever makes me unhappy for a moment, I will make him unhappy for the rest of his life!"
Zhao Si's words made Bao Lingdan burst into tears of gratitude and made the generals present share the same hatred.
Zongze opened his mouth, wanting to give some advice, but he didn't know how to say it.
The officials did not directly issue a decree to arrest these people and lay out charges. Instead, they asked a special task force to investigate - those who clean up will clean up themselves. If problems are found, it is because you are not strong enough to withstand the investigation.
If an official can do this, he is already a wise king through the ages. If it were another emperor of this dynasty, he would be punished just for fabricating a crime. What else can I ask for?
"I obey!" Zongze could only say in the end.
"Okay, Bao Lingdan, you go down first and wait for the investigation."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After a pause, Zhao Si struck while the iron was hot and said: "The war to destroy Xia and Pingliao has ended, and the Dali Kingdom has also been conquered. Now the military system needs to be adjusted. While all the generals in the southeast are here, I will blow the wind first."
"The army of the Song Dynasty is divided into navy and army. The army is divided into county troops and national troops, which can also be called local troops and field troops. Local troops belong to the reserve force and the second-line garrison force, including the horse infantry of each county and the inland river defense fleet."
"The Army Field Force is divided into the Border Guard Army and the Garrison Army. The Border Guard Army, as its name suggests, is an army that protects border security. We initially plan to establish four armies, namely the Andong, Dingxiang, Anxi, and Nanning armies, which will be stationed in Liaoyang, Fengzhou, Ganzhou, and Dali respectively.
"
"The garrison is divided into twelve left and right Jinwu Guards, left and right Wu Guards, left and right Yi Guards, left and right Xiao Guards, left and right Tun Guards, and left and right Wei Guards. They are stationed in key places and have divisions and regiments under their jurisdiction. The governor's office of each guard has the power to command troops.
There is no power to mobilize troops, and the official appointment of officers and generals above the regiment level is directly issued by the Privy Council..."
"With the development of our navy, the Song Dynasty is expanding its territory overseas at an increasingly faster pace. Now it is divided into the East China Sea Economic Strategy Department, the Strait Economic Strategy Department, the Chenla Economic Strategy Department and the Luzon Economic Strategy Department, which are respectively assigned to the Navy Tianzhi (
There are four fleets: first), Bai Ze (second), Bi Fang (third), and Gui Che (fourth)."
Zhao Si took a sip of water and continued: "You digest it first, and when the Privy Council comes down with the official draft, you organize a study and discussion. Okay, now I have to discuss important matters with the Minister of Secretariat. The Privy Council staff should leave first.
.”
"According to the order!"
When Li Kui, Guo Yong and their generals stood up to leave, Zhao Si said again: "I am entertaining guests at the Qinhuai River tonight, so don't be absent."
"yes!"
Guo Yong asked again, "Is Bao Lingdan going too?"
"Go, why don't you go? He is just a criminal now and has not been convicted yet. Even if he is convicted, he has experienced life and death under my hands. We drank and ate together and did not violate the king's law or the laws of nature."
"According to the order!"
