For the entire human race, Fang Yun’s proposal is even more shocking and has a greater impact than the previous criteria for selection as a cabinet minister.
The Law Hall is nominally a branch hall under the Blood Mang Hall, but everyone knows that the Law Hall is actually the human race's experimental field in the Blood Mang Realm. Once the Blood Mang Law Hall is effective, the Holy Academy will inevitably establish a Law Hall in the Holy Yuan Continent.
If the Blood Mang Law Hall really selects its members in the way Fang Yun said, then the Holy Academy Law Hall will do the same.
No one present had ever thought about allowing people from all walks of life to participate in legislation. As for allowing women to participate in legislation, it was even more of a fantasy. Although the Queen Mother of Jing Kingdom was here, she was only the shadow of the monarch and could not sit here as the Queen Mother.
Many people even suspected that the previous selection of the cabinet minister might have been a feint, and Fang Yun’s real goal was to select the candidate for the Dharma Hall.
Yan Ningshan ignored the large number of people who were making gestures and said with a bitter face: "Saint Fang Xu, what other opinions do you have about the Dharma Hall? Please tell us all."
Fang Yun said calmly: "For example, 30% of the seats are forcibly given to civilians. For another example, representatives of the Law Hall can only be re-elected for two terms, each term is five years. Because the representatives of the Law Hall are in a high position and have great power, their nine clans are prohibited from being elected to the Law Hall within three generations to prevent the formation of secret hereditary succession."
Many people looked at Fang Yun with complicated eyes, completely unable to understand why Fang Yun had such a long-term vision, seeing through the possible problems that might arise in the Dharma Hall at a glance, and then using strict measures to prevent them.
Yan Ningshan listened to Fang Yun's words and suddenly understood why the saints had delegated the affairs of the Blood Ray Realm to the Council Hall. This was because the whole matter was too complicated, and if one was not careful it could affect both realms and even leave a stain. The saints did not want to deal with it, and with the addition of Fang Yun, it became a hundred times more complicated.
Yan Ningshan coughed lightly and said, "The selection criteria for the Dharma Hall personnel... will be discussed later!"
Some people rubbed their temples. No one had expected that this public meeting would be so complicated. Even the head of the Sub-Saint Family felt that it was a hot potato.
Many great scholars looked as if they had a headache, and more people signaled to Yan Ningshan, including some family heads who had not spoken.
Yan Ningshan did not give those people any chance. He said: "Next, vote one by one on whether to give the Law Hall the power to legislate in the Blood Mang Realm. This proposal does not involve the issue of candidates, but only the power of the Law Hall..."
Next, Yan Ningshan learned to be smart and only voted on motions that were not too controversial. If someone proposed a very controversial motion, he would only say two words.
"Reconsideration!"
One proposal after another was voted on, some passed and some were rejected.
As the sun sets, Yan Ningshan scans the entire venue.
"Everyone, today's meeting is about to end, and I have something to say. Fang Xusheng was involved in the changes in the Blood Mang Realm, and he established a channel between the two realms. He has a close relationship with the Blood Mang Will, and he is also on good terms with many great scholars in the Blood Mang Realm. In my opinion, Fang Xusheng should serve in the Blood Mang Palace. Only he can serve as a special envoy between the two realms to make the communication between the two realms smoother and avoid accidents to the greatest extent. Therefore, I propose that Fang Xusheng serve as the chief elder of the Blood Mang Palace and concurrently serve as the dean of the Law Palace. You can discuss it at will."
As soon as Yan Ningshan finished speaking, there was an uproar in the House of Representatives Hall.
Weng Shi said: "I am against Fang Yun being appointed as the chief elder of the Blood Mang Palace! The position of elder must be held by a great scholar!"
"Fang Yun is a virtual saint, his status is above that of the great scholars, so he can naturally serve as a cabinet elder, there is no doubt about that!"
"Xu Sheng is not a literary title. It is just a title, so naturally he cannot serve as a minister! However, Fang Xu Sheng is the best candidate for the head of the Dharma Hall."
"The decision on the presidency of the Law Hall should be made by the nine elders of the Blood Mang Hall, so there is no need to discuss it in the Assembly Hall."
"After all this talk, we are back to the same old story. Can only great scholars be appointed as cabinet ministers?"
"I support that only a great scholar can serve as the elder of Xuemang Pavilion. Xusheng is higher than a great scholar, so Fang Xusheng can serve."
Everyone started arguing.
Fortunately, the power in the House of Representatives could not be released outside, otherwise, the energy of heaven and earth stirred up by the quarrels of these great scholars would be enough to flatten the area for dozens of miles.
The crowd argued for another half an hour, but still to no avail.
Yan Ningshan ordered everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The position of the Chief Elder of the Blood Mang Palace is too important, so I will change the proposal and propose that Fang Xusheng be the Second Elder of the Blood Mang Palace for a term of ten years. After the Blood Mang Realm has passed ten years, the Council of Representatives will decide whether Fang Xusheng should stay or go."
Many people suddenly realized that Yan Ningshan originally wanted Fang Yun to be the elder of the Xuemang Palace, but was afraid that there would be too many people opposing him, so he simply pretended to let Fang Yun be the chief elder, and then took a step back, so that the attitudes of many people would soften.
Some people are very dissatisfied with Fang Yun's appointment as the elder of the Blood Mang Palace, but they have to admit that the human race in the two worlds does need a link. At present, there is no other candidate except Fang Yun, unless the Half-Saint is allowed to take part in the battle himself, but that is impossible.
Then, everyone began to vote on the proposal of whether Fang Yun could serve as the second elder of Xuemang Palace. In the end, as many as 90% of the people agreed and passed the proposal.
Fang Yun shook his head slightly. He didn't expect that he would become an elder before the Blood Mang Palace was officially established.
Afterwards, Yan Ningshan proposed that Fang Yun temporarily take over as the dean of the Dharma Hall and preside over the Dharma Hall. Although there were more people opposing it this time, the proposal still received 81% support and was passed.
After the vote, Yan Ningshan announced that today's meeting was over and would be resumed tomorrow. This time, Fang Yun did not care about others and rushed to leave the Holy Academy with Chen Mingding and enter the Chen family villa.
Half a minute later, Fang Yun got on the Chen family's carriage and headed for the Kong family restaurant.
The Kong Family Restaurant is the largest restaurant in the Holy Courtyard, occupying an entire street. Countless dignitaries come in and out, and there is a constant stream of traffic and people in front of the restaurant.
Under the cover of night, the whole street is hung with big red lanterns, just like daytime.
The carriage stopped at the relatively quiet back street of the Kong Family Restaurant. As soon as the carriage was moved, the restaurant's security guard recognized it and looked excited.
“Please… please… please…” The guard couldn’t even utter a complete sentence. To meet Xu Sheng was a huge honor and something he could brag about for the rest of his life.
Fang Yun smiled, rewarded the guard with two taels of silver, and pushed the door to enter the small courtyard that had been reserved long ago.
The wooden door creaked open, and three large round tables were seen in the yard, covered with festive red tablecloths. Nearly thirty people were sitting around the three round tables, talking and laughing, but suddenly they turned their heads to look towards the back door.
"Fang Yun!" everyone shouted in surprise and stood up together.
No one here calls Fang Xusheng.
Fang Yun showed a happy smile on his face, and he glanced at the familiar faces like an ordinary teenager.
Yan Yukong, Li Fanming, Hua Yuqing, Han Shoulu, Jia Jingan, Sun Naiyong…
Fang Yun seemed to have returned to the past, without the slightest airs of a saint. He held a paper fan and gently fanned it, walking and laughing, "When we were in the Saint Ruins, you made a bet on whether I could enter the top 20 of the Great Scholar Hunting List within three years. The loser would treat me to a dragon banquet. Li Fanming, if I remember correctly, your big rabbit is smarter than you. It bet that I could enter, and you bet that I couldn't. Now it's not even three years, but the bet is already made. Today's dragon banquet should be paid for by you."
Li Fanming shouted, "Did you hear that? I told you Fang Yun must be thinking about this matter, and he would definitely not be willing to treat us to a dragon feast!"
