No one expected that Fang Yun's methods would be so powerful that he expelled the entire Lei family from the Hall of Public Opinion.
However, many people did not think that Fang Yun was wrong. After all, even if the Lei family did not plan to assassinate Fang Yun, they could not be said to be innocent. No wonder they said Lei Mo was dead before. It turned out that he faked his death and entered Xue Mang to assassinate the human race's Xu Sheng.
At this point, the Lei family will inevitably be severely punished, and the head of the family, Lei Ao, was originally the product of a compromise among all parties in the Lei family, so now he must bear the blame.
Many people in the clan secretly exchanged glances, and some of the university scholars who were listening in had anxious looks on their faces.
"Master Zong Ganyu, Zong Qingying asked me to give you something. Please do not leave after the meeting is over." Fang Yun's voice echoed in the meeting hall.
Gu Juwu, the head of the Gu family, looked at Zong Ganyu in surprise.
Zong Ganyu, however, sat upright behind the desk, looking forward, as if he had not heard these words.
But some people from the Zong family were frightened. Since Fang Yun knew that Lei Mo had entered the Xuemang Ancient Land, he probably knew that Zong Qingying and Gu Yuan were also there. Then they contacted Fang Yun to give the Gu family a package. It was obvious what Fang Yun was going to do.
If the Zong family obstructs, then the Lei family will serve as a lesson for us.
As for why Fang Yun didn't take action directly, everyone knew it was to give face to the Saint!
The House of Representatives became increasingly quiet. After a few breaths, Zong Ganyu, the head of the Zong family, lowered his head to look at the table, reached out to pick up the teacup, took a sip, and gently put it down.
He never raised his head again.
Many people present breathed a sigh of relief, as if if Zong Ganyu continued to hold his head up, something earth-shattering would happen.
A faint smile flashed across Fang Yun's face, and he also picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Fang Yun put down the teacup and raised his head again.
Many people sighed in their hearts that Fang Yun’s status was indeed different.
Yan Ningshan said: "Although the Lei family has left, there are enough people in the House of Representatives, so the meeting will continue. This third vote is to decide the number of elders in the House of Representatives..."
Afterwards, the bamboo signs appeared again, and most people agreed that there should be nine elders in the Blood Mang Palace.
"The nine elders of the Blood Mang Palace have been decided, but the criteria for selection have not yet been determined. What do you think? Weng Shi, please speak."
There was a flash of worry in Wei Huangan's eyes. He had not been idle these days and had been learning about Shengyuan Continent and Fang Yun. He had known for a long time that a scholar from the Weng family was killed by the Xun family in Shengxu, but the blame was put on Fang Yun, which led to a full-scale conflict between Fang Yun and the Weng family.
The Weng family is a semi-saint family of Gu Country, and has a very close relationship with the Zong family. They have repeatedly participated in obstructing Fang Yun, but the Weng family did not send anyone into the Blood Mang Realm to assassinate him, so Fang Yun has no leverage over the Weng family.
The great scholar Weng Shi said: "I believe that the nine elders of the Blood Mang Palace must be great scholars from the Holy Academy! If they are not great scholars, they will not be able to convince the public!"
Fang Yun asked: "May I ask Mr. Weng Shi, who are these 'people'?"
"Of course it's all human beings!" Weng Shi said.
Fang Yun asked: "So you mean to let all human beings elect the elders together? Then the elders of each hall will be decided by the world in the future? Otherwise, all the elders of the Holy Academy will not be able to convince the public!"
Weng Shi was always strict, and said with a cold face: "The Holy Court can represent the entire human race. Whether it can convince the public depends on the result of the vote in the House of Representatives! I believe that Fang Xusheng will never go against the public opinion or the Holy Court!"
Those great scholars were fine, but many university secretaries' faces changed slightly. "Opposing the Holy Academy" was a very serious crime for the human race, more serious than "making irresponsible comments on the Holy Academy and official documents of the court", "forming a clique for personal gain", "leaking secrets of the human race", and "opposing the review of the Holy Academy".
Because opposing the Holy Court is equivalent to opposing all the saints, the impact is extremely bad and the nature is extremely serious.
Throughout history, there have been only a few people who have committed crimes against the Holy Court, but each of them has been infamous for eternity, affecting the entire family and even future generations.
After being accused by Weng Shi, Wei Huangan frowned. The current situation was very clear. The Blood Mang Realm had no power to resist the Holy Court. No one in the House of Representatives would agree to let the Blood Mang people serve as elders. This was a dispute between the two realms. It seemed that it only needed a vote to pass, but the actual intensity was no less than the dispute between the human race and the monsters.
The Zong family and the Gu family were forced to not dare to speak, and the Lei family was forced to be expelled from the Hall of Public Deliberation. This was already close to the most severe dispute over the Holy Way.
Fang Yun said calmly: "If the Holy Court's opinion goes against the human race's holy way, goes against the expectations of the Blood Mang people, goes against the Blood Mang will, and makes the human race fall into the mud, then it's okay for the Blood Mang Realm to resist the opinion."
"Fang Xusheng, you are too presumptuous! This is the Hall of Public Opinion, and you actually incited the Blood Mang people to go against the public opinion, which is close to treason! Fellow writers present, Fang Xusheng's purpose is obvious. He does not want the Blood Mang Realm to be included in the human race. Instead, he wants the Blood Mang Realm to be independent of the human race and seek personal gain!"
Many people frowned. What Fang Yun said was indeed a bit out of line. No matter what, as a native of Shengyuan Continent and a virtual saint of the Holy Academy, Fang Yun should not say such words.
Fang Yun said in a clear voice: "It was me who proposed to establish the Blood Mang Palace. It was me who proposed that the Holy Court should be fully responsible for the rituals, legislation, military affairs, farming and fortifications of the Blood Mang, and only give the Blood Mang people autonomy in government affairs. If this is because they don't want the Blood Mang world to be included in the human race, then, is it because I am the only one who proposed to let the Blood Mang people become slaves of the Holy Yuan Continent that you think I am not seeking personal gain?"
Weng Shi said: "What Saint Fang Xu said makes sense. We also support giving Xuemang Realm political freedom and allowing the Xuemang people to govern themselves according to the laws of the human race. However, the position of Elder of Xuemang Hall must be held by a great scholar of the Saint Academy! None of them can be given to Xuemang people!"
Many great scholars and university officials nodded slightly. On this matter, they agreed with Weng Shi very much.
Fang Yun said: "Since the Blood Mang Palace governs the Blood Mang Realm, some of the Blood Mang people must be in charge! Otherwise, the entire Blood Mang Realm will definitely oppose it!"
"They are human beings, and humans must obey the Holy Court. Their objections are invalid!"
"If all the Xuemang people object, you can guess whether Xuemang's will will also obey the Holy Academy!" Fang Yun said bluntly.
Many university scholars were puzzled and did not know how this matter was related to Xuemang's will.
However, some great scholars looked worried.
Xuemang is a world of its own, illuminated by the star of literature. The people of Xuemang are the subjects of the Xuemang will. If all the people of Xuemang rebel, the Xuemang will will surely take action. If the saints come forward to suppress it, it is very likely that the Xuemang will be forced to perish together with it.
Fang Yun continued, "I know you are afraid that you can't control the Blood Mang people, but etiquette, law, military, agriculture, etc. are all controlled by the Holy Academy and the various families. If they can't control the Blood Mang people, it's not just that the Holy Academy is incompetent, it also means that the Holy Academy is no longer worthy of ruling the Blood Mang Realm! What's more, a large number of humans will move into the Blood Mang Realm, diluting the Blood Mang people. It won't be long before the Blood Mang people and the people of the Holy Yuan Continent will be indistinguishable from each other. Since we share the same language and race, what's wrong with giving the Blood Mang people a few seats as elders? How to win the hearts of the Blood Mang people as soon as possible and strengthen the Blood Mang Realm when the human race is in crisis? Do you still need a young man like me to teach you!"
