The great scholars, family leaders, and monarchs in the Hall of Discussion were all confused. The whole thing was too strange, but the Saints did not say anything. Even Yan Ningshan could only infer part of it based on common sense and could not come to a real conclusion.
However, it was certain that the Saints were not unanimous on this matter. But even if they were not unanimous, they would not tell these scholars.
"This proposal will not be discussed today. We will discuss it tomorrow. It is almost noon, so the meeting will be adjourned. We will discuss other proposals after noon. Thank you, everyone. "
Yan Ningshan stood up to express his gratitude. Everyone stood up to return the gesture.
The people of the Hall of Assembly left one after another, but Fang Yun and Yan Ningshan did not move. When most of them had left, Yan Ningshan cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "Fang Xusheng, Old Man has some doubts. Please enlighten me."
"Mr. Ban Hai, you are too polite. Please speak your mind. I will tell you everything I know," Fang Yundao said.
Wei Huang 'an was not far away. He smiled when he heard Fang Yun's words. Fang Yun had only said "tell you everything I know," but not "tell you everything I know."
Yan Ningshan's reaction was similar to Wei Huang 'an's. He smiled and said, "Although you have the Literary Name of Xusheng, the result of this vote is that the Blood Radiance Grand Scholar should not be allowed to become a Hall Elder. Yet, all the Saints rejected it. This old man is puzzled. You said that the majority of the Saints supported you. Is that true? "
"The Saints are all magnanimous. As long as they are not muddle-headed, they will naturally support me." Fang Yun said matter-of-factly.
Yan Ningshan could not help but smile bitterly. Only Fang Yun dared to speak like this. Moreover, from his tone, it seemed that he was dissatisfied with some of the Half-saint.
"The Saints know the past and the future. They should have guessed that you would interfere with the Hall Elder's position. Why did you not let the Saints decide? Why did you give it to the Hall of Assembly? In the end, you rejected it and almost … caused trouble." Yan Ningshan did not dare to speak harshly.
"They are testing me," Fang Yundao said.
Yan Ningshan was stunned. He wanted to ask again, but Fang Yun had already stood up.
After Fang Yun and Wei Huangan left, Yan Ningshan sat in the Assembly Hall. He furrowed his brows and pondered over a series of questions.
"Why would the Saints test Fang Yun? What did Fang Yun have that the Saints were afraid of? Who among the Saints opposed Fang Yun? What did Fang Yun mean? Why did the Saints reject … "
The dignified Confucian scholar felt like his brain was in a mess.
Many people from Jingguo were standing at the entrance of the Hall of Public Discussion. They were whispering to each other. Seeing Fang Yun come out, he immediately went up to him.
"Fang Xusheng, Old Man has been arranged in the Chen family's villa. Let's have lunch and dinner there today," Chen Mingding said.
Fang Yun looked around and asked, "Where's the Empress Dowager?"
"The Empress Dowager has to take care of Jing Jun. It's not convenient for me to go out, "Chen Mingding said.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble the Chen family."
Chen Mingding held the official seal in his hand, and a large amount of light enveloped everyone in Jingguo. He instantly left the Notre-Dame and teleported to the Chen family's villa at the foot of Mount Inverted Peak.
During the lunch break, Fang Yun chatted with everyone while he dealt with the letters. Since returning to the Saint Origin World yesterday, he spent most of his time dealing with the letters.
The letters came from a wide range of sources. Some of them were from Ning An County. They only dared to make decisions after getting Fang Yun's approval. Some of them were from Jingguo's old friends. For example, Cai He asked about the Assembly Hall, Feng Zimo asked about the Bloodlight Realm, and so on.
To Fang Yun, the most important message came from his friends in the Holy Ground. With Yan Yukong as the leader, his friends from the Holy Ground had invited him together to fulfill their promise in the Holy Ground. They were waiting for him to set a time to have a feast together.
Fang Yun immediately set the time for tonight at the largest restaurant, the Kong family's restaurant.
After lunch, the group returned to the Notre-Dame. They entered the Assembly Hall and continued their discussion.
In the afternoon, Yan Ningshan's first proposal was to split the Bloodlight Punishment Hall into two. Although Fang Yun had proposed this proposal before, it was still not enough. It had not been officially voted on.
Other than a few stubborn Legalists and Legalists who were worried about the division of power, most people supported the proposal. Thus, the Bloodlight Punishment Hall had a new Legalism Hall.
After the vote, Yan Ningshan said, "Fang Xusheng, you said that the Legalism Hall exists for the purpose of legislation. From now on, the Bloodlight Punishment Hall only has the power to arrest, arrest, and judge people. All the laws of the Bloodlight Realm will be determined or changed by the Law Hall. This Law Hall has never been established before. I'm at a loss when I see it. Fang Xusheng, please show me the way. "
Yan Ningshan consulted Fang Yun on the spot. This was equivalent to admitting that Fang Yun was the founder of the Law Hall. Whatever Fang Yun said, it would become an important basis for the Law Hall.
In the future, the Law Hall would favor Fang Yun when it came to matters related to Fang Yun. It was just like when the Notre-Dame dealt with the Kong family's matters. If it was positive, the Law Hall would praise Fang Yun. If it was negative, the Law Hall would minimize the problem.
This was a hidden privilege. Once the Law Hall's status rose in the future, the benefits would be great.
Some Legalists and Patriarchs hesitated, but no one objected in the end. Even Weng Shi, who had criticized Fang Yun for boasting shamelessly, did not say anything. If they obstructed him at this time, the Law Hall would not be lenient if something happened in the future.
Fang Yun did not reply. Instead, he lowered his head and pondered.
There were only gasps and occasional coughs in the Assembly Hall.
Not long after, Fang Yun raised his head and slowly said, "The Law Hall controls all laws in the Bloodlight World. It should represent all classes and regions of the people. It should also follow Kong Sheng's teachings and use Kong Sheng's Great Harmony as its core. It should not discriminate between nobility and lowliness. According to Bensei's opinion … "
Many people's hearts skipped a beat when they heard Fang Yun refer to himself as Bensei.
"In my opinion, the Law Palace not only has the right to legislate in the Bloodlight Realm, but it also has the right to veto important proposals such as amnesty and declaration of war. It also has the right to impeach the Cabinet Elders and all personnel of the Bloodlight Realm. Of course, the right to impeach the Cabinet Elders is still in the hands of the Hall of Assembly, while the right to impeach the Cabinet Elders is in the hands of the Law Palace. At the same time, any urgent orders must be approved by at least seventy percent of the Law Hall's members. There are also some details that need to be discussed one by one. "
Everyone was in deep thought. Some people thought that it was no wonder Fang Yun took so long to think before speaking. The Law Hall was a miniature version of the Assembly Hall. Moreover, it was a Assembly Hall that existed continuously. Its authority seemed to be below the Assembly Hall, but its true authority was terrifying.
Some people vaguely sensed something, but they felt like there was a paper window blocking their view.
After a long while, Yan Ningshan asked, "How should the Law Hall's Chancellor and members be formed?"
Fang Yun said slowly and forcefully, "Since we follow Kong Sheng's Great Harmony and Great Harmony, the Law Hall's members naturally have to be selected from the various social classes! From great Confucian scholars to scholars, to commoners working in various professions, representatives of each social class will be selected! Furthermore, the ratio will be forcibly set according to the population of each social class. If the Sages allow it, even women can be members of the Law Hall. "
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
Even some of the great Confucians were shocked and looked at Fang Yun in disbelief.
It was only now that the crowd realized that Fang Yun had broken through the paper window in front of them. They finally saw Fang Yun's true intentions.
Fang Yun wanted to break the monopoly of the aristocratic families!
He wanted to limit the literary monopoly!
He even wanted to limit the male monopoly!
If not for the fact that the Assembly Hall required the approval of the moderator to speak, who knew how many people would have stood up to reprimand Fang Yun?
Even Minister Kang Ha-chuan's face was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum.
