To the entire human race, Fang Yun's proposal was even more shocking and impactful than the previous conditions.
The Law Hall was a branch of the Bloodlight Temple in name, but everyone knew that the Law Hall was the human race's experimental field in the Bloodlight Realm. Once the Law Hall was effective, the Notre-Dame would definitely set up a Law Hall in the Saint Origin Continent.
If the Law Hall really selected its members according to Fang Yun's proposal, then the Law Hall of the Notre-Dame would do the same.
No one present had ever thought of allowing all classes to participate in the Law Hall's legislation. As for allowing women to participate in the Law Hall's legislation, that was even more impossible. Although the Jingguo Empress Dowager was here, she was only a shadow of the monarch and could not sit here as the Empress Dowager.
Many people even suspected that the Pavilion Elder's selection might have been a feint, and that Fang Yun's real goal was to select the candidates for the Law Hall.
Yan Ningshan did not care about the large number of people hinting at him. With a bitter face, he said, "What other opinions does Fang Xusheng have about the Law Hall? Tell us all at once."
Fang Yun said indifferently, "For example, forcefully giving thirty percent of the seats to the commoners. Another example is that the Law Hall representatives can only serve two terms of five years each. Because the Law Hall representatives hold a high position and power, their nine families and three generations are forbidden from being elected to the Law Hall to prevent a hidden hereditary succession. "
Many people looked at Fang Yun with complicated gazes. They could not understand why Fang Yun was so far-sighted. He could see through the possible problems with the Law Hall and use such harsh measures to prevent them.
After listening to Fang Yun's words, Yan Ningshan suddenly understood why the Saints had delegated the matter of the Bloodlight Realm to the Law Hall. It was because the entire matter was too complicated. The slightest carelessness could affect both realms and leave a stain on their reputation. The Saints did not want to deal with it. With Fang Yun involved, the matter was a hundred times more complicated.
Yan Ningshan coughed softly and said, "We'll discuss the Law Hall members' conditions again!"
Some people rubbed their temples. No one had expected the discussion to be so complicated. Even the patriarch of a quasi-saint family felt that it was a hot potato.
Many scholars looked like they had a headache. Even more people hinted at Yan Ningshan, including some patriarchs who had not spoken.
However, Yan Ningshan did not give them any chance. He said, "Next, let's vote on whether or not to give the Law Hall the legislative power in the Bloodlight Realm. This proposal does not involve the selection of candidates, only the authority of the Temple. "
Next. Yan Ningshan had learned to be smart. He only chose to vote on the less controversial proposals. If someone raised a controversial proposal, he would only say two words.
"We'll discuss it again!"
Bills were voted on one after another, and some passed. Some were rejected.
As the sun set, Yan Ningshan scanned the audience.
"Everyone, today's meeting is about to end. The Old Man has something to say. Fang Xusheng had been involved in the changes in the Bloodlight World. He had also built a passageway between the two worlds. He had a close relationship with the will of the Bloodlight World and was on good terms with many of the scholars of the Bloodlight World. In the Old Man's opinion, Fang Xusheng was the only one who should take up a position in the Blood Mang Palace. Only then could he serve as the special envoy of the two realms, allowing the communication between the two realms to be smoother and preventing accidents to the greatest extent. Therefore, Old Man suggested that Fang Xusheng be appointed as the Blood Ray Hall's Pavilion Elder, as well as the Law Hall Master. Everyone, feel free to discuss. "
As soon as Yan Ningshan finished speaking, there was an uproar in the Meeting Hall.
Weng Shi said, "I object to Fang Yun being the Blood Ray Hall's Pavilion Elder! The position of Pavilion Elder must be held by a Great Scholar! "
"Fang Yun is Xusheng. His status is above a Great Scholar. Naturally, he can be the Pavilion Elder. There's no doubt about that!"
"Xusheng is not a civil servant. He's just a titled warrior. Naturally, he can't be the Pavilion Elder! However, Fang Xusheng is the best candidate for the Law Hall Master. "
"The Law Hall Master should be decided by the nine Pavilion Elders of the Blood Ray Hall. Let's not discuss it in the Meeting Hall."
"In the end, we've gone back and forth. Does it mean that only a Great Scholar can be the Pavilion Elder? "
"I agree that only a Great Scholar can be the Pavilion Elder. Xusheng is above a Great Scholar, so Fang Xusheng can be the Pavilion Elder."
Everyone started arguing.
Fortunately, energy could not be released in the Meeting Hall. Otherwise, the Heaven Earth Essence Qi that was triggered by these Great Scholars quarreling. That would flatten an area of dozens of miles.
Everyone argued for another hour, but there was still no result.
Yan Ningshan ordered everyone to keep quiet. Then, he said, "The position of the Pavilion Elder of the Blood Ray Hall is too important. In that case, Old Man will change the proposal. I propose that Fang Xusheng be the Vice Pavilion Elder of the Blood Ray Hall for ten years. After ten years in the Blood Ray World, the Meeting Hall will decide whether Fang Xusheng stays or leaves."
Many people were enlightened. Yan Ningshan originally wanted Fang Yun to be the Pavilion Elder of the Blood Ray Hall. However, he was afraid that too many people would object. Therefore, he pretended to let Fang Yun be the Pavilion Elder and took a step back. This way, many people's attitudes would soften.
Some people were very unhappy with Fang Yun being the Pavilion Elder of the Blood Ray Hall. However, they had to admit that the human race of the two worlds did need a link. Currently, there was no other candidate besides Fang Yun. Unless Half-saint personally took the field, that was impossible.
Therefore, everyone began to vote on whether Fang Yun could be the Vice Pavilion Elder of the Blood Ray Hall. In the end, ninety percent of the people agreed and passed the proposal.
Fang Yun shook his head lightly. He didn't expect that he would become a Pavilion Elder before the Blood Ray Hall was officially established.
Afterward, Yan Ningshan proposed that Fang Yun be the temporary Law Hall Chancellor and preside over the Law Hall. This time, there were more people who objected. However, the proposal still received eighty-one percent of the votes and passed.
After the vote, Yan Ningshan announced that the meeting was over for the day. This time, Fang Yun didn't care about the others. He left the Notre-Dame with Chen Mingding and entered the Chen Family's side courtyard.
Fifteen minutes later, Fang Yun sat in the Chen Family's carriage and headed to the Kong Family Restaurant.
The Kong Family Restaurant was the largest restaurant in the Notre-Dame. It occupied an entire street. Countless officials and nobles walked in and out. There was an endless stream of people and carriages in front of the door.
Under the night sky, the entire street was hung with large red lanterns, making it seem as bright as day.
The carriage stopped at the back street of the Kong Family Restaurant, which was relatively quiet. The moment Fang Yun got off the carriage, the restaurant's guard recognized him and was filled with excitement.
The guard couldn't even speak a complete sentence. Being able to see Xusheng was a great honor. It was something that he could brag about for the rest of his life.
Fang Yun smiled and rewarded the guard with two taels of silver. He then pushed open the door and entered the small courtyard that he had reserved earlier.
The wooden door opened with a creak. There were three large round tables in the courtyard. The round tables were covered with large red, festive tablecloths. Nearly thirty people were sitting around the three round tables. They were originally chatting and laughing, but now they suddenly turned their heads to look at the back door.
"Fang Yun!" Everyone cried out in surprise and stood up.
No one here called Fang Xusheng.
Fang Yun revealed a happy smile. Like an ordinary youth, he swept his eyes over the familiar faces.
Yan Yukong, Li Fanming, Hua Yuqing, Han Shoulv, Jia Jingan, Sun Naiyong …
Fang Yun seemed to have returned to the past. He didn't have the arrogance of Xusheng at all. He held a paper fan in his hand and gently fanned himself. He smiled as he walked. "Back in the Holy Ground, you bet that I would enter the top twenty of the Great Confucian Hunting List in three years. The loser would have to treat me to a flood dragon banquet. Li Fanming, if I remember correctly, your rabbit is smarter than you. It bet that I would enter the top twenty, but you bet that I wouldn't. It hasn't been three years yet, and the bet has been set. Today's flood dragon banquet will be paid by you. "
Li Fanming said loudly, "Did you hear that? I told you that Fang Yun would definitely remember this and wouldn't be willing to treat us to a flood dragon banquet! "
