Yan Ningshan nodded gently and said, "This group's actions are too radical, but they also have their merits. However, the Xuemang people are a branch of the human race after all, so we should give more consideration."

Fang Yun swept his eyes over everyone present. No one opposed the radical measures mentioned by the two men. Even if they felt that they were slightly inappropriate, they would not stand up to criticize them.

Everyone has almost reached a consensus on how to deal with the Blood Ray Realm.

The Ancient Land of Xuemang has been separated from humans for too long. If it had communicated with humans earlier and insisted on following the Holy Academy, it would never have ended up like this.

Fang Yun sighed inwardly, this is what Xue Mang meant by: if you don’t seek death, you won’t die.

Yan Ningshan suddenly looked at Wei Huangan and said, "Wei Huangan from the Blood Mang Realm, please speak."

Wei Huangan took a deep breath, bowed his hands, and said, "Gentlemen, may I ask if one day a more powerful human race discovered the Shengyuan Continent, and that human race had many sub-saints, ignored the Saint Academy, and forcibly came to seize all power, those who obeyed would prosper, and those who resisted would perish, what would you do?"

Yan Ningshan said: "This matter has not happened, there is no need to consider it, and there is no need to answer it."

The chairperson of the public discussion has great power, and according to convention, such hypothetical questions do not require answers, so even Fang Yun did not express any objection.

Anger flashed across Wei Huangan's face, and he said, "In the ruins of Longcheng, Fang Xusheng once annotated the Doctrine of the Mean, saying 'give and take revenge on others in their own way', which aroused the voice of the saints and hurt the evil. Everyone, aren't you afraid that one day you will suffer this retribution?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.

Yan Ningshan looked at Fang Yun in surprise, and asked, "Did Fang Xusheng annotate the sentence 'So a gentleman governs others by others, and changes and stops'?"

"Yes." Fang Yun said.

Yan Ningshan smiled and stroked his beard, saying, "Good."

Many university scholars and great scholars present nodded slightly. Many of them liked these words very much. Some even took up their pens to write them down on the spot, and read them silently repeatedly with delight on their faces.

Several people even closed their eyes and shook their heads slightly, constantly pondering this comment, enjoying it and no longer caring about the opinions of others.

Wei Huangan showed a helpless look. Yan Ningshan did not say any objection, but it made him feel a little at a loss. Compared with these old foxes, he, a young university scholar, was still a little bit behind.

Yan Ningshan nodded to Weng Shi again.

Weng Shi said: "The human race is facing many crises. If we don't move forward, we will retreat. If we take a step back, we will become fish on the chopping board of the demon world. If a sub-saint comes, he will lead the crowd with a more advanced holy way. That is the guidance of the sages, not the seizure of power. The Holy Academy took over the Blood Mang Realm, not by force, but to save the human race and the Blood Mang. I would like to ask Emperor Wei, if the Holy Academy is not as good as the Blood Mang, once the saints of the demon world take action, how can the Blood Mang Realm protect itself?"

Yan Ningshan said: "If you want to discuss the same issue continuously, you can continue to speak without my consent."

Although Wei Huang'an was a university scholar, he was only a Xuemang university scholar. Whether in vision, knowledge or experience, he could not be compared with the great scholars of Shengyuan Continent. He had no choice but to look to Fang Yun for help.

Yan Ningshan saw Fang Yun gesture to speak, so he said: "Xu Sheng is of high status, you are even qualified to make your own decisions. If you want to speak in the future, you don't need my consent."

This statement did not cause any objection from anyone. Since the House of Representatives had allowed Fang Yun to sit in the chief seat, it was tacitly acknowledged that Fang Yun had greater power here.

Fang Yun nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yunhai. As for how the Blood Mang Realm can protect itself, I think the Blood Mang Realm should protect itself in the same way that the Shengyuan Continent protects itself."

Everyone was stunned. Fang Yun seemed to have something else in his words.

It is a fact that Fang Yun supports the Blood Mang Realm. This statement clearly means that the Holy Academy may not even be able to protect the Holy Yuan Continent, let alone the Blood Mang Realm.

Weng Shi said with a gloomy face: "Fang Xusheng, are you already a scholar in the Xuemang Realm, not the Xusheng of my Holy Academy?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.

Fang Yun retorted: "The Blood Mang Realm should be under the jurisdiction of the Holy Academy. As the Virtual Saint of the Holy Academy, I speak for the Blood Mang Realm, which means I speak for the Holy Academy and for the human race! Weng Shi, who gave you the courage to separate the Blood Mang Realm from the Holy Academy?"

Weng Shi was furious and speechless. After Lei Tingzhen got Yan Ningshan's consent, he smiled and said, "It seems that Fang Xusheng agrees with the Holy Academy taking over the Blood Mang Realm just like us. There will be no problem at all."

Fang Yun said: "This Saint will agree that the Holy Court will take over the Blood Mang Realm, but how to take over is the core of this discussion. This Saint believes that whether it is taking over by force with a high-pressure attitude, or destroying the future and letting the Blood Mang Realm completely govern itself, it is all foolish. When the human race governs a place, the most important thing is "ritual", "law", "military" and "politics". This ritual is to change customs, break old conventions and habits, and let the morality of the Blood Mang Realm return to the order of the human race. Everyone in the ritual hall should hold the "Three Rites" and redefine the rules of the Blood Mang, how about it?"

The elders of the Li Hall nodded in unison. They had been afraid that Fang Yun was too biased towards the Blood Mang Ancient Land, but now that Fang Yun fully supported the power of the Li Hall to enter the Blood Mang Realm, they felt relieved.

Someone wanted to speak, but Yan Ningshan ignored him and looked at Fang Yun to hear what he would say next.

Fang Yun continued, "The Blood Mang Realm's sect law has collapsed, and the Fa School no longer exists. It is truly in a state of terminal illness. We must strike with heavy hands and thunder to sweep away this closed, backward, lawless land. Everyone in the Fa School, restoring order in the Blood Mang Realm is a long and arduous task."

The elders of the Legalist School smiled and nodded. Fang Yun obviously supported the Legalist School in presiding over the reform of the Blood Mang Realm. This was a great benefit.

Fang Yun added: "The Blood Mang Realm is in a state of disorder. It is a matter of time to use severe punishments in troubled times. However, if we want to stabilize the Blood Mang Realm, we must ask the military strategists to take action and use absolute force to deter the villains. The army of the Blood Mang Realm must be completely controlled by the military strategists. Except for private soldiers, the Blood Mang scholars should not manage a single soldier within fifty years!"

Wei Huangan showed a helpless look, and all the military strategists agreed with Fang Yun's words that they must not let the Xuemang people take charge of the army, at least not within the next fifty years.

"As for politics..." Fang Yun smiled and looked at the monarchs of the ten countries. "The Holy Academy has never had a 'Political Palace'. The return of political power to the ten countries has been unanimously recognized by the human race. What's more, with the scholars of the Courtesy Palace, the Criminal Palace and the War Palace, even if the Blood Mang people are in charge, they can't make any waves. It's better to let the Blood Mang world govern itself and give them some benefits. As Lei Tingzhen said, combining hardness and softness is a good strategy."

The House of Representatives was in complete silence.

Some people even lowered their heads and tried to suppress their laughter.

Some people's faces turned extremely ugly.

The eclectic school of the human race has always followed the path of Lu Buwei, the founder of the eclectic school, combining politics with the way, and moving from being in charge of politics to entering the way of sainthood. Therefore, the eclectic school flourished in the Ten Kingdoms, and a large number of officials in each country were people of the eclectic school.

Fang Yun talked for a long time and can summarize it as follows: those from the Hall of Rites, the School of Legalism and the School of Military Science can enter Blood Ray, but those from other schools please stay.

Lei Tingzhen looked at the great scholars and ministers from the Zong family and other miscellaneous schools with great embarrassment. He had said before that he would use both winning over and suppressing. Fang Yun immediately won over the majority and suppressed the minority, and he was very skilled in this method. Until Fang Yun finished his speech, no one thought that he would say that.

Except for the small ruler of Jing State, the other ten rulers were like sculptures, with their heads lowered, their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts. If they opposed Fang Yun at this time, it would be equivalent to voluntarily handing over power to the Holy Academy.

Qing Jun and Gu Jun seemed to have something stirring in their hearts. At this moment, they could not care about protecting the Za family. They could not even protect themselves. They should just shut up... (To be continued.)
