Chapter 575: Heavenly Gate Conference (6)
After handling Situ Zhaoran's affairs, and smoothly letting Dugu Baichen take over the position of Pixiu, all the developments made Qin Yan very satisfied. However, all this is inseparable from Gu Baihong's support, if Gu Baihong is not on his side, I am afraid that things will not be so simple.
All that remains is how to remove the presbytery. This matter is not as good as the previous two, one is not careful, it is likely to cause an uproar. Once the elders of the Council of Elders rebelled, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the thousand-year-old foundation of the Heavenly Gate would be very likely to be destroyed.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yan said, "At today's conference, there is another thing I want to announce, and I ...... it." ”
"Wait, I have one thing too, I'll talk about it first. Gu Baihong interrupted Qin Yan's words.
Qin Yan was stunned, smiled slightly, and said, "Ancient, please speak!"
For Gu Baihong's sake of supporting him so much, Qin Yan must also be polite and respectful to him.
"The times are developing, and Tianmen must continue to change and innovate in order not to be eliminated by this world and to be able to stand forever. But now, it's time to change some of Tianmen's inappropriate systems. We old guys should also take a good rest and give up our rights, which is also conducive to the centralization of the sect master and has a great role in promoting the future development of Tianmen. Therefore, I suggest that the Sect Master abolish the Presbyterian Church. Gu Baihong said.
Qin Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and glanced at Gu Baihong gratefully. Indeed, it is more appropriate for Gu Baihong to propose the abolition of the presbyterian system than he proposed.
The rest of the elders were stunned, and looked at Gu Baihong in amazement, with a blank expression. They obviously didn't expect Gu Baihong to say this, they are one, one is prosperous, the other is lost, what is the benefit of abolishing the Council of Elders for him Gu Baihong? Thinking of the previous two things, the rest of the elders suddenly thought, it seems that all this is Gu Baihong's idea at all, he has already betrayed the Council of Elders and taken refuge in Qin Yan.
"The ancient system of the Council of Elders has existed for hundreds of years, how can it be said that it will be abolished? The purpose of the establishment of the Council of Elders in the first place was to restrict the rights of the sect master and prevent the door master from leading the Heavenly Gate to the wrong path because of his excessive power. Now you say that you want to abolish the Presbyterian Church, isn't this ignoring the rules of the Heavenly Gate for hundreds of years? You were the one who wanted to oust Mo Li from power back then, and now you are the one who says that the Presbyterian Council will be abolished. If the Council of Elders is to be abolished, there should at least be a reasonable explanation, right?" Pan Chen glared at Gu Baihong angrily, feeling betrayed.
Although Gu Baihong's status and prestige in the Presbyterian Church were very high, now, his actions seemed to have betrayed the Presbyterian Church. The elders, who usually obeyed him, also protested at this moment. Power is the goal pursued by countless people, who wants to let it go like this? Once they don't have power in their hands, they can still be as free as they are now? Who can guarantee that Qin Yan will not settle accounts and get rid of them one by one?
"Hmph, okay, I'll explain it to you. Gu Baihong snorted coldly and said, "The purpose of the establishment of the Council of Elders is not only to supervise the sect master, but also to assist the door master in handling some things. But what have you done? These old elders will continue to grow their strength, as if they have become a threat to the sect master, which is why you dare to instruct Situ Mingran to murder the door master. ”
"Situ Zhaoran's matter seems to be solved, but in fact it is not. You should know that apart from Jiang Zhen, there are some of you involved in this matter, right? The master of the gate is kind and generous, and he is unwilling to continue to investigate further, for the sake of the peace of the Heavenly Gate. But I can't sit idly by. Back then, I proposed to remove Mo Li's position as the master of the gate, and like my proposal now, there is only one purpose, that is, to hope that the Heavenly Gate will become stronger and stronger. If the Council of Elders is not abolished, who can guarantee that nothing like Situ Zhaoran will happen in the future?"
Gu Baihong's voice was full of emotion, and his expression was a little distressed. He had always hoped to strengthen the Heavenly Gate, but now that these people were doing such a thing behind his own back, how could he not chill him? Once they succeeded, it would inevitably lead to civil strife in the Heavenly Gate, and at that time, wouldn't it give others an opportunity to take advantage of?
Pan Chen's brows furrowed tightly, snorted coldly, and said, "Ancient, you are also a member of the Council of Elders, what good is it for you to do this?"
"As long as the Gate of Heaven can grow, even if it is for me to die, I am willing. There are talents from all generations, and it is time for us old guys to quit, at least, we can retain the last bit of good reputation and have a good result. Gu Baihong said.
"Good result? Hmph, can you guarantee that he won't settle accounts with us afterwards? When we don't have power in our hands, we will become turtles in the urn, and we will not be slaughtered by others. Pan Chen did not retreat at all, his eyes were staring at Gu Baihong tightly, and there was no trace of fear.
Duan Nan and the others were at a loss, looking surprised, they never thought that Gu Baihong would take the initiative to make such a proposal. Thinking of Qin Yan's letting him find out Gu Baihong's whereabouts, Duan Nan seemed to have some clarity in his heart, but he didn't understand why Qin Yan was able to conquer Gu Baihong. You must know that in the Heavenly Gate, Gu Baihong's strength is not weaker than Qin Yan at all.
"I can assure you that I will never touch a single hair of you. Moreover, even if the presbyterian system is abolished, the elders will still enjoy the same treatment as they do now, and you can take this opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest. Leave the troublesome things to us juniors to deal with. Qin Yan said.
"What guarantee do you have, why do we believe you?" Pan Chen said indignantly.
"I can assure you of this, don't you even believe or listen to me?" Gu Baihong frowned slightly, not expecting their reaction to be so fierce.
"In the past, we respected you and looked after you in everything, because we felt that you would bring more benefits to our elders. But now that you have betrayed us, why should we believe you? In short, we will never agree to abolish the Presbyterian Church. If you have to force this, you will be responsible for the consequences. Pan Chen said.
His brows frowned slightly, and Gu Baihong's voice became cold, "Pan Chen, are you threatening me?"
"So what? Since you have broken the rules of the gate, then don't blame us for turning our faces and being ruthless, it's a big deal that we will withdraw from the gate of heaven and get a new gate of heaven out. Pan Chen looked at each other proudly, without the slightest intention of flinching.
"Bold!"
With a "snap", Gu Baihong slapped his palm on the table and angrily reprimanded, "Do you know what you're talking about? ”
