Almost all the great scholars, family heads and monarchs in the House of Representatives were confused. The whole thing was too weird, but the saints did not say it clearly. Even Yan Ningshan could only infer part of it based on common sense and could not come to a real conclusion.
But it is basically certain that the saints are not unanimous on this matter. However, no matter how inconsistent the saints are, it is impossible for them to tell these great scholars.
"We will not discuss this motion today, and will discuss it tomorrow. It is almost noon, so the discussion will be suspended for now. We will discuss other motions after noon. Thank you all."
Yan Ningshan stood up to express his gratitude, and everyone stood up to return the greeting.
The people in the House of Representatives left one after another, but Fang Yun and Yan Ningshan did not move. When most of them had left, Yan Ningshan bowed and asked in a slightly lowered voice, "Fang Xusheng, I have some doubts in my mind. Please give me some advice."
"Mr. Banhai, you are too polite. If you have anything to say, please feel free to speak up. I will tell you everything I know." Fang Yun said.
Wei Huangan was not far away. He smiled slightly when he heard Fang Yun's words. Fang Yun only said "I will tell you everything I know" but did not say "I will tell you everything I know".
Yan Ningshan's reaction was similar to Wei Huang'an's. He smiled and said, "Although you are famous for your literary talent and a virtual saint of the human race, the result of this vote must be that Xuemang Grand Scholar will not be allowed to serve as a cabinet elder. The saints rejected it, and I am puzzled. What you said, that most of the saints support you, is it true?"
"The saints have great wisdom in their hearts and a world in their minds. As long as they are not confused, they will naturally support me." Fang Yun said as if it was a matter of course.
Yan Ningshan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Only Fang Yun dared to speak like that, and from his tone, he seemed very dissatisfied with some semi-saints.
“The saints know the past and foresee the future, so they should have guessed that you would interfere with the position of elder in the Blood Mang Palace. Why didn’t the saints decide it, but delegated it to the House of Representatives? And then you vetoed it in the end, and almost… caused trouble.” Yan Ningshan never dared to say anything harsh.
"They are testing me." Fang Yun said.
Yan Ningshan was stunned and wanted to ask again, but Fang Yun had already stood up.
Fang Yun and Wei Huang'an left, and Yan Ningshan sat in the House of Representatives, frowning and thinking over a series of questions.
"Why would the saints test Fang Yun? What is it about Fang Yun that the saints are afraid of? Who among the saints is against Fang Yun? What exactly does Fang Yun mean? Why did the saints reject..."
The great scholar felt his mind was a mess.
When they walked out of the House of Representatives, many people from Jing State stood at the door, talking in low voices. When they saw Fang Yun coming out, they immediately came to greet him.
"Fang Xusheng, I have already made arrangements at the Chen family's villa. Let's have lunch there today and in the evening." Chen Mingding said.
Fang Yun looked around and asked, "Where's the Queen Mother?"
"The Queen Mother has to take care of Jingjun. It is not convenient for her to go out." Chen Mingding said.
"Okay, then I'll trouble the Chen family."
Chen Mingding was seen holding the official seal, with a large light covering all the people in Jingguo. He instantly left the Holy Courtyard and moved to the Chen family villa in Kongcheng at the foot of Daofeng Mountain.
During the lunch break, Fang Yun chatted with everyone while dealing with letters. Since returning to Shengyuan Continent yesterday, he has spent most of his time dealing with letters.
The sources of the letters were wide-ranging, including officials from Ning'an County asking for advice on government affairs. They dared to make decisions only after Fang Yun's approval; some old friends from Jingguo, such as Cai He asking about the public opinion, Feng Zimo asking about the Blood Mang Realm, and so on.
For Fang Yun, the most important letter came from his friends in the Holy Ruins. The friends in the Holy Ruins, led by Yan Yukong, invited him to fulfill the promise made in the Holy Ruins and have a dragon banquet together, and they were just waiting for him to set a time.
Fang Yun immediately set the date for tonight, at the largest Kong Family Restaurant.
After lunch, the group returned to the Holy Court and entered the House of Representatives to continue the meeting.
Yan Ningshan's first proposal in the afternoon was to split the Blood Mang Punishment Hall into two. Although Fang Yun had proposed the proposal before, it had not been formally voted on.
Except for some stubborn Legalist scholars and Legalist patriarchs who were opposed due to concerns about power division, most people supported it, so His Highness Xuemang had an additional Legalist branch.
After the vote, Yan Ningshan said, "Fang Xusheng, you said that the Law School Branch Hall exists for legislation, which means that from now on, the Blood Mang Criminal Hall will only have the power to arrest, arrest and judge. All laws in the Blood Mang Realm will be determined or changed by the Law Hall. This Law Hall has never been established, and I am confused when I see it. Please, Fang Xusheng, point out a clear way."
Yan Ningshan consulted Fang Yun on the spot, which was tantamount to acknowledging that Fang Yun was the founder of the Dharma Hall. Whatever Fang Yun said would become an important basis for the Dharma Hall no matter what.
From now on, when the Dharma Hall deals with matters related to Fang Yun, they will tend to favor Fang Yun, just like when the Holy Court handles the affairs of the Kong family, if it is positive, they will increase their praise, and if it is negative, they will make a big deal out of a small matter.
This is a hidden privilege, which will be of great benefit once the status of the Dharma Hall is elevated in the future.
Some great scholars or family heads hesitated, but in the end no one opposed. Even Weng Shi, who had previously accused Fang Yun of being arrogant, did not speak. If they obstructed at this time, if something went wrong in the future, the people in the Dharma Hall would certainly not show mercy.
Fang Yun did not answer, but lowered his head in thought.
The only sounds in the House of Representatives Hall were panting and the occasional cough.
After a while, Fang Yun raised his head and said slowly: "The Law Hall controls all the laws of the Blood Mang Realm and should represent the people of all classes and regions. We should also follow the teachings of Confucius, with Confucius's universal peace as the core, regardless of high or low, and the world for all! In my opinion..."
When they heard Fang Yun call himself a saint, many people's hearts skipped a beat.
"In my opinion, the Law Hall not only has the power to legislate in the Blood Mang Realm, but also has the power to veto important proposals such as amnesty and declaration of war, and the power to impeach the elders and all personnel in the Blood Mang Realm. Of course, the power to impeach the elders still belongs to the House of Representatives, and the power to impeach those below the elders is given to the Law Hall. At the same time, any emergency order needs to be approved by more than 70% of the members of the Law Hall. There are also some details that need to be discussed one by one."
Everyone was thinking about it, some people thought to themselves, no wonder Fang Yun thought for a long time before saying it, this Dharma Hall is completely a small House of Representatives, and it is a continuously existing House of Representatives. The power seems to be below that of the House of Representatives, but the actual power is terrifyingly great.
Some people have a vague sense of something, but always feel like there is a layer of window paper blocking their view.
After a long while, Yan Ningshan asked, "How should the dean and members of the Dharma Hall be formed?"
Fang Yun said slowly and forcefully: "Since we follow Confucius' teachings that the world is for all and the world is united, the members of the Dharma Hall must naturally come from all walks of life! From great Confucian scholars and university scholars to students, and then to common people working in various industries, representatives from all walks of life must be selected! And the proportion must be set according to the population of each class. If the saints allow it, even women can be members of the Dharma Hall."
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Even some great scholars were shocked and looked at Fang Yun in disbelief.
It was not until this time that everyone realized that the window paper in front of them had been broken by Fang Yun, and they finally saw Fang Yun's true intentions.
Fang Yun is trying to break the monopoly of the aristocratic families!
This is to limit the monopoly of literary positions!
It even intends to limit the monopoly of male power!
If the House of Representatives did not require the approval of the host before speaking, I wonder how many people would stand up and scold Fang Yun.
Even Moon Minister Kang Ha-cheon's face was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum.
