Everyone in the class looked at each other in surprise, and then they realized how smart Fang Yun was.
Fang Yun's goal was very clear from the beginning, to unite all the families to dominate the Blood Mang Realm, but to cut off the hands of the miscellaneous families that were reaching out to the Blood Mang Realm. However, if Fang Yun directly obstructed it with the most intense words, it might have a counterproductive effect, but Fang Yun suddenly proposed the "separation of criminal law" with a stroke of genius, which was highly feasible, making everyone feel that what Fang Yun said was very reasonable, thus achieving the effect of loving the house and loving the dog, making people feel that what Fang Yun said before was reasonable.
When this method was used, the Miscellaneous School felt that they had no idea where to start, because if they wanted to refute Fang Yun, they had to first oppose the separation of criminal law. However, once they opposed the separation of criminal law, they would be involved in the dispute over the Holy Way if they were not careful, and the Rites Hall and some Legalists would inevitably launch a counterattack.
If there was enough time, the miscellaneous people could completely resolve Fang Yun's tactics, but time was not abundant.
The biggest problem is that even the miscellaneous experts think that Fang Yun’s plan to separate criminal law is very feasible, and that using the Xuemang Realm as a test field is most appropriate, so there is no sufficient reason to object.
After all, although the various innovations Fang Yun made during the palace examination were incredible, all those that could be verified in a short period of time achieved excellent results, and the voices of doubt became increasingly rare.
Not long after, when everyone had finished discussing, Yan Ningshan, the head of the Yansheng family, called for a break and asked everyone to continue discussing how to govern the Blood Mang Realm.
Yan Ningshan smiled and said, "I am the host of this meeting, so I should not let down the kindness of the saints. You have discussed for so long, and it is time to come up with some proposals. Now I will start the first vote, whether to allow the Saint Academy to establish the Blood Mang Palace to be responsible for Blood Mang affairs."
After Yan Ningshan finished speaking, a faint light appeared in front of all the people present, and then condensed into a bamboo plate and fell on the table.
"If you write 'yes', it means you agree to establish the Blood Mang Palace; if you write 'no', it means you oppose the establishment of the Blood Mang Palace." Yan Ningshan said.
Many people nodded gently, indicating their approval of Yan Ningshan's vote. The public discussion cannot be just a verbal battle, but must also have a substantive vote. As the host, you must not only listen, but also control the direction of the public discussion and cannot deviate from the original intention of the public discussion. Voting one by one is the best way to solve the problem.
Fang Yun picked up the pen and wrote the word "可" on the bamboo sign. Then he put away the pen and saw the bamboo sign fly to the high platform with a whoosh, floating in the air with its back to the crowd.
Queen Mother Jing held Jingjun's little hand and also wrote the word "OK" on the bamboo sign.
Then, pieces of bamboo flew into the air, with their backs to the crowd.
A hundred breaths later, all the bamboo plates flew into the sky.
Soon, the edges of most of the bamboo cards emitted white light, indicating agreement.
Seven of the bamboo cards had red light on their edges, indicating opposition.
There were still eleven bamboo cards emitting a dark green light, indicating that they were not filled in.
Yan Ningshan said: "Less than 30% of the people are against it. If this vote is passed, the East Saint Pavilion Elders will record this vote. It will be documented."
Afterwards, Yan Ningshan said: "The Blood Mang Realm is a separate realm. We should imitate the human race and establish the Blood Mang Nation. The second vote is whether to establish the Blood Mang Nation."
Another ray of light turned into a bamboo sign and descended, landing in front of all the attendees.
A hundred breaths later, bamboo cards flew into the air. There were more than thirty bamboo cards against, and more than ten bamboo cards abstained. The majority of bamboo cards still agreed.
"Less than 30% of the people are against this vote. If this vote is passed, the East Saint Pavilion Elders will record this vote and it will be traceable. After the discussion is over, the Blood Mang Palace will come forward to establish the Blood Mang Nation."
No matter whether they were present or listening, their expressions were normal. Only some newly promoted university scholars were a little curious, as they did not expect so many people to oppose.
Yan Ningshan added: "All affairs of the Blood Mang Realm are handled by the Blood Mang Palace. According to the rules of the human race, and referring to the old rules of the 'Two Realms Mountain' and 'Prison Sea' and other places that are not on the Holy Yuan Continent, the Blood Mang Palace needs three to nine elders to be in charge. Now, we want to discuss the number of elders, the qualifications for appointment, and the scope of authority. Who will speak first?"
"Zong Ganyu, please speak."
When Yan Ningshan's voice sounded, everyone immediately perked up. They didn't expect that the head of the Zongsheng family, Zong Ganyu, would actually speak. This was an unusual signal.
In public discussions, it is usually the ordinary great scholars from each family who come forward. The head of the family rarely speaks. Even if he does, it is only at the end, when he plays the final role. Or when it involves a dispute over the holy way or a conflict between aristocratic families, the head of the family will personally take the field.
It was extremely rare for the head of the family to come out to vote on just two resolutions.
"Thank you, Mr. Banhai. Although the changes in the Xuemang Realm have not stopped, since it is a world of its own, it must be larger than a country, and its resources are far more abundant than those of the Shengyuan Continent. It should be governed by nine ministers. As for the qualifications for the appointment of ministers, I think there should be no objection. They should be selected from among the great scholars who have never served as ministers in the Holy Academy, and the old practices of various places can be followed." Zong Ganyu said.
Many great scholars had burning eyes, but some did not change at all, and it was obvious that they had no interest in the elder of the Blood Mang Palace.
Fang Yun and Wei Huangan looked at each other and saw subtle changes in each other's eyes.
Fang Yun looked at Zong Ganyu and thought that he was worthy of being the patriarch of the Zong family. He directly blocked the path for the promotion of Xuemang Grand Scholar and cut off the control of the Xuemang people over the Xuemang world, allowing only the great scholars of the Holy Academy to make the decision.
Zong Ganyu's suggestion is equivalent to creating nine seats of real power for the great scholars of the Holy Academy. No matter whether they are the great scholars who have no hope of being canonized as saints or the great scholars who want to leave a rich legacy for future generations, no matter whether they are the great scholars who want to take the Blood Ray Realm to the next level or the great scholars who want to hone themselves by ruling a world, they will all support Zong Ganyu.
Wei Huangan glanced at Fang Yun again, and once again used his energy to signal Yan Ningshan. He knew very well that Fang Yun must not be allowed to take the lead at this time. He had to bring up the topic himself so that Fang Yun could participate.
Wei Huangan knew that Fang Yun was his only life-saving straw, and also the only life-saving straw for the Xuemang people.
"Wei Huangan, please speak." Yan Ningshan asked.
Many great scholars looked at Wei Huangan with a hint of vigilance in their eyes.
"Excuse me, Master Zong Ganyu, since the elder only allows great scholars from the Holy Academy to take the position, where do you put us, the Blood Mang people?"
Zong Ganyu said calmly: "I am discussing the great affairs of the human race, not arguing with the fools in the countryside. I will no longer participate in this topic. There is really no need to discuss it."
Wei Huangan was stunned and cursed Zong Ganyu in his heart for being so treacherous. He first set up the target, and then suddenly withdrew it when he was about to draw the bow, leaving him with no place to use his strength.
After listening to Zong Ganyu's words, many great scholars smiled and nodded. This was the attitude that the head of a noble family should have. They should not argue with random people.
"Wei Huangan, continue." Yan Ningshan said.
Wei Huang'an's heart moved. Compared with those great scholars, he was too young after all. It would be better to cut the Gordian knot quickly. Anyway, his chances of winning were slim.
"The Zongsheng family despises me, the Xuemang scholar. I will definitely tell the Xuemang scholar about this! I believe that among the nine elders in the Xuemang Palace, at least five are from the Xuemang people!"
Most of the great scholars smiled and didn't care. This is a very common practice of asking for a sky-high price and then waiting for someone to pay it back. If you can't even see through this, then you have wasted so many years of studying... (To be continued.)
