The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1338 Founder of the Dharma Palace

Almost all the great scholars, family heads and monarchs in the Hall of Assembly were confused. The whole thing was too weird, but the saints did not explain it clearly. Even Yan Ningshan could only infer part of it based on common sense and could not draw a real conclusion.

But it is basically certain that all the saints are not unanimous on this matter, but no matter how inconsistent the saints are, it is impossible to tell these great scholars.

"This bill will not be discussed today, but will be discussed tomorrow. It is almost noon, and the discussion will be temporarily suspended. Other bills will be discussed after noon. Thank you all."

Yan Ningshan stood up to express his thanks, and everyone stood up to return the favor.

People from the Hall of Public Opinions left one after another, but Fang Yun and Yan Ningshan stayed still. When they were almost gone, Yan Ningshan held up his hands and lowered his voice slightly and asked: "Fang Xusheng, I have doubts in my heart, please give me some advice." ”

"Mr. Banhai, you're too polite. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it. The students will tell you everything they know." Fang Yun said.

Wei Huangan was not far away, and he smiled slightly when he heard Fang Yun's words. Fang Yun only said "tell everything you know", but did not say "tell everything you know".

Yan Ningshan's reaction was similar to Wei Huangan's. He smiled and said: "Although you have a literary name and are a virtual saint of the human race, the result of this vote must be that the Xuemang University Scholar is not allowed to serve as the Pavilion Elder. The saint rejected it, and I am puzzled. Is it true that most saints support you?"

"The saints have ravines in their chests and a realm in their bellies. As long as they are not confused, they will naturally support me." Fang Yun looked matter-of-fact.

Yan Ningshan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Only Fang Yun dared to speak like this, and judging by his tone, he was very dissatisfied with some of the semi-saints.

"The saints know the past and know the future, so they should have guessed that you would interfere with the old seat of the Xue Mang Palace. Why is it not decided by the saints, but delegated to the hands of the House of Assembly? In the end, you vetoed it, almost... causing trouble. "Yan Ningshan never dared to say harsh words.

"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 Huangan left, and Yan Ningshan sat in the hall of public discussion, frowning, thinking over and over a series of issues.

"Why would the saints test Fang Yun? What is there about Fang Yun that makes the saints jealous? Who among the saints is opposed to Fang Yun? What does Fang Yun mean? Why did the saints object..."

The dignified scholar felt his mind was in a state of confusion.

After walking out of the Hall of Public Meeting, many people from Jingguo stood at the door, chatting in low voices. When Fang Yun came out, they immediately came to greet him.

"Fang Xusheng, I have made arrangements at the Chen Family Courtyard. Let's have dinner there today at noon and evening." Chen Mingding said.

Fang Yun looked around and asked, "Where is the Queen Mother?"

"The Queen Mother has to take care of Jingjun and it's 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, and a large ray of light enveloped everyone 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 processing the letters. Since returning to Shengyuan Continent yesterday, he spent most of his time processing the letters.

The letters came from a wide range of sources, including Ning'an County officials who asked for advice on government affairs, and they dared to make decisions only after Fang Yun's approval; some of the old friends of Jingguo, such as Cai He asking about the public opinion, Feng Zimo asking about Xue Mangjie, etc.

For Fang Yun, the most important message came from the friends of the Holy Ruins. The friends of the Holy Ruins, headed by Yan Yukong, invited him to fulfill their promises in the Holy Ruins and have a dragon feast together, just waiting for him to set a time.

Fang Yun immediately set the time for tonight, at the largest Kongjia Restaurant.

After lunch, the group returned to the Holy Courtyard and entered the Hall of Public Discussions to continue the public discussion.

Yan Ningshan's first motion in the afternoon was to divide the Xuemang Penal Hall branch into two. Although Fang Yun had proposed the motion before, it had not been formally voted on.

Except for some stubborn Legalist scholars and Legalist family heads who were worried about the decentralization of power and opposed it, most people supported it, so His Highness Xue Mang had an additional Legalist branch.

After the voting ended, Yan Ningshan said: "Fang Xusheng, you said that the Dharma Master's Branch exists for legislation. That is to say, from now on, the Bloody Mang Penalty Hall only has the power to arrest, arrest and judge, and all the laws of the Bloody Mang Realm , will be determined or changed by the Dharma Hall. This Dharma Hall has never been established, so I feel confused and ask Fang Xusheng to point out a clear way."

Yan Ningshan asked Fang Yun for advice on the spot, which was tantamount to acknowledging that Fang Yun was the founder of the Dharma Hall. What 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, it will tend to favor Fang Yun, just like if the Holy Court handles the affairs of the Confucius family, if it is positive, it will be praised more heavily, if it is negative, the big matter will be reduced to small, and the trivial matter will be reduced.

This is a hidden privilege, which will be of great benefit once the status of the Dharma Hall increases in the future.

Some great scholars or family heads were hesitant, but in the end no one objected. Even Weng Shi, who had previously accused Fang Yun of being arrogant, did not speak up. If they obstructed him at this time, if something happened in the future, the people in the Dharma Palace would not be lenient.

Fang Yun did not answer, but lowered his head in thought.

There were only gasps and occasional coughs in the hall.

After a while, Fang Yun raised his head and said slowly: "The Dharma Hall controls all the laws of the Bloody Mang Realm and should represent the people of all walks of life and regions. What's more, we should follow the teachings of Confucius and take Confucius's universal unity as the core, regardless of high or low. , the world is for the common good! According to this sage..."

Many people's hearts skipped a beat when they heard Fang Yun calling himself a saint.

"In my opinion, the Dharma Hall not only has the power to legislate in the Blood Mang Realm, but also has the power to veto important bills such as amnesty and declaration of war. It also has the power to impeach the elder of the Xue Mang Realm and all personnel. Of course, the impeachment of the elder The power of determination still belongs to the House of Representatives, while the power of impeachment under the Pavilion Elder is given to the Dharma Hall. At the same time, any emergency order needs to be approved by more than 70% of the members of the Dharma Hall. There are still some details that need to be discussed one by one. "

Everyone was thinking, and some people thought, no wonder Fang Yun thought for a long time before saying it. This Dharma Hall is completely a small Hall of Public Opinions, and it is a continuous existence of the Hall of Public Opinions. The power seems to be under the Hall of Public Opinions. , but the real power is terrifying.

Some people felt something vaguely, but they always felt that there was a layer of window paper blocking their eyes.

After a while, Yan Ningshan asked: "How should the head of the Dharma Palace and its members be formed?"

Fang Yun said slowly but forcefully: "Since we follow Confucius' teaching that the world is for the common good and the world is unified, the members of the Dharma Hall will naturally come from all walks of life! From Confucian scholars and bachelors to children, and then to civilians engaged in various industries, Representatives of each class should be elected! And the ratio must be determined based on the population of each class. If the saints allow it, even women can be allowed to serve as members of the temple. "

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Even some great scholars looked shocked and looked at Fang Yun in disbelief.

It was only then that everyone realized that the window paper in front of them had been pierced by Fang Yun, and finally saw Fang Yun's true intention.

Fang Yun is going to break the family monopoly!

This is to limit the monopoly of literary positions!

It even intends to limit the male monopoly!

If it weren't for the fact that the Hall of Public Opinion requires the approval of the host before speaking, I don't know how many people would stand up and scold Fang Yun.

Even Literary Minister Jiang Hechuan's face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.

The recommended book is "The Protagonist Hunter". The author is my friend Ye Shan Heizhu, a veteran author of Infinite Flow. He has two Infinite Flow works as a basis. The new book is definitely worth a read.
