Lijing, drums sounded in unison, the guard of honor was like a forest, and the official Chengfeng greeted the distinguished guests with the most solemn etiquette.

This time, Hou Chu openly came to Chengfeng as the deputy sect master of the foreign sect of the Fa Sect. Gao Yuanfeng was not there, and the Inner Court and the Outer Mansion had no choice but to come forward and welcome Hou Chu and his party into the palace with the highest specifications. It is the original imperial palace, which is now divided into three parts: the inner mansion, the pavilion, and the outer mansion, rather than Gao Yuanfeng's personal residence, the original Liwang Mansion, nor Gao Yuanfeng's Dongwan Annex.

The former Liwang Mansion became the current Imperial Palace. Gao Yuanfeng did not want to call it the imperial palace, and renamed it the imperial mansion, indicating that it was the emperor's private residence. The Dongwan Annexes are still called Annexes, and people call them the Imperial Palace. In these two places, Gao Yuanfeng generally does not deal with state affairs. Discuss state affairs, and go to the original palace.

The four people of the Inner Mansion Zhongshu Ling Huang Fuxin, the head of the Pavilion Gao Gang and the second head Wen Ze, and the Outer Mansion Shangshu Ling Long Yunyi personally accompanied Hou Chu to the Protocol Hall. This hall does not belong to the Ministry of Rites, and is an exclusive place for the emperor to entertain heavyweight and equal state guests. This is the second time it has been enabled. The first time was when Gao Yuanfeng entertained Yun Hao here once to show respect for the Yun family.

Hou Chu turned a blind eye to the endless guard of honor on both sides, frowned and asked Gao Gang, "Gao Yuanfeng really can't be contacted?"

Gao Gang smiled bitterly and arched his hand, "Sect Master, how dare the lower officials deceive, they really can't be contacted." This is true, but he himself doesn't want to believe that there is no emperor like Gao Yuanfeng in the world, who completely ignores state affairs, and actually says that he is missing.

Hou Chu questioned: "Gao Yuanfeng is not here, how to deal with major state affairs?"

Gao Tsunade said confidently: "This is not a big deal. Your Majesty has drawn up the framework, and we will just follow the rules. ”

"Really?" Hou Chu didn't believe it, "Then I want Gao Yuanfeng to go to the Immortal Sect, and you will show me how to act according to the rules?"

Gao Gang was stunned for a moment, and said in embarrassment: "Didn't the sect master deliberately embarrass the officials? When it comes to His Majesty himself, it is not just a state matter, and he must respect his own wishes." ”

At this time, he had already walked into the main hall, and Gao Gang invited Hou Chu to sit on the seat of the guest of honor and instructed the messenger to serve tea. Among the attendants, there were young eunuchs, as well as men and women who were not eunuchs.

Hou Chu felt strange, "You can still use unclean men in the palace?"

Huang Fuxin explained: "Sect Master, this is no longer considered a palace, and it has been changed to the highest official office of Chengfeng. These eunuchs were supposed to be sent home, but a few people had no one in their homes, so they stayed as a ministry to earn some salaries to support themselves. ”

Hou Chu was even more strange, "Gao Yuanfeng doesn't need a eunuch?"

Huangfu replied respectfully: "No." All the eunuchs in the original Nine Star Realm, who are old, are supported by the state for the rest of the year. Those who are young and strong are all fending for themselves. Those who have the ability can also strive for official positions. His Majesty decreed that no one should be discriminated against, and that no one should be purified thereafter. ”

Hou Chu smiled, "He did his best to do something ingenious." Don't talk about this, Gao Getou, it's still the same question just now. You also said that letting Gao Yuanfeng go to the Fa Sect is not only his private matter, but also your state affair. I'll go to him for personal matters. As for state affairs, which of you is the master to give me an answer?"

Gao Gang said: "This has to be reviewed by the court, and after the court passes, please ask the inner government to review and use the seal." Neither I nor any of us can give you an answer. ”

Cai Linlin, who was beside Hou Chu, couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "Bold, you are obviously prevaricating." ”

Wen Ze, Long Yunyi and Huang Fuxin bowed their hands together, "This immortal envoy, it's really not a prevarication, it's my dynasty." ”

Hou Chu waved his hand to stop Cai Linlin and said to Gao Gang and the others, "How long will it take to make a decision." Don't tell me it's going to take a year or two. ”

Gao Gang said frankly: "Under normal conditions, it usually takes one or two months. Our procedure is that when the cabinet receives a bill, it must first send someone to investigate the pros and cons, and the inspector of the Supervision Yuan will give an assessment and provide it to the cabinet elders for reference at the cabinet council. Sometimes there is a debate and a vote at the end.

If more than two-thirds of the cabinet elders approve it, the final decision will be submitted to the internal government for examination. After the seal of the inner government is used, it is a holy decree. ”

Hou Chu's face turned cold, "I have to think about it today?" Also, what if the court can't get through?"

Gao Gang replied without fear: "Of course, sometimes things are urgent, and you can't wait for two or three months, and there is also a quick way, which is to skip the investigation and go directly to the court for deliberation. The bills that could not be passed by the court were naturally sent back to the petitioner. ”

Chu sneered, "Then immediately convene a court council for me, I don't think anyone dares to disagree?"

Gao Gang and Wen Ze had no choice but to ask Hou Chu to move to the Pavilion, that is, the original Council Palace. And immediately send someone to inform all the elders in Kyokaku to participate in the meeting as quickly as possible.

Hou Chu sat at the door of the council hall with a cold face, watching the elders walk into the council hall one by one. The pavilion elders looked at each other, saluted Hou Chu and walked to their positions blankly, not knowing what today's topic was, but they probably knew that it might be related to Hou Chu. But as the deputy sect master of the Immortal Sect and the head of the secular affairs of the Yan Domain, how could there be something that needed to be deliberated by the Chengfeng Pavilion?

Hou Chu saw that the young Yun Sheng was also one of the elders, and he was very unhappy, it seemed that Gao Yuanfeng was deeply involved with the Yun family. This made Hou Chu firm in his determination to bring Gao Yuanfeng to the Dharma as soon as possible. Otherwise, with Gao Yuanfeng's temperament, he may not be able to use the immortal book to do business with the Yun family. By the way, there is also the snow region, and the immortal book that Gao Yuanfeng studied must not be allowed to spread to the snow region.

In an hour or so, all the pavilion elders in Beijing arrived. Gao Gang stepped up to the first place and counted the number of people, "There are a total of one hundred and forty-one pavilion elders in the court, and one hundred and thirty people are present, which meets the quorum and can be deliberated." There is a proposal from the post-suzerain. Gao Gang gestured to Hou Chu for the proposal seat.

Hou Chu pointed to himself, "Let me go there and say?"

Gao Gang said conclusively: "Exactly." If you want our court to make a decision, you naturally have to explain to you what is going on, and you have to accept the consultation of the elders. ”

Hou Chu shook his head amusedly, "Okay." I'm here for a consultation. "Walk up to the designated proposal seat, Hou Chu faced a group of Chengfeng Pavilion elders," Hou Chu was ordered by the Great Elder of the Immortal Sect to accept Gao Yuanfeng as the core disciple of the Immortal Sect, and asked him to rush to the main altar as quickly as possible. ”

There was a buzz, and there was a lot of discussion below. Yuan Yanshu raised his hand and asked, "This is a private matter for Your Majesty, why should the court deliberate it?"

Hou Chu said: "The king of a country, how can there be a simple private matter. ”

Many people at the bottom immediately reacted. Yun Sheng stood up and asked, "Sect Master, if our Majesty becomes a core disciple of the Immortal Sect, can he continue to be the Emperor of Chengfeng?" ”

Hou Chu glanced at Yun Sheng lightly and didn't bother to answer.

Gao Gang spoke at the right time, "Sect Master, you must answer, otherwise they will not be able to vote. ”

If you don't vote, it won't be a case, Hou Chu felt very unhappy, but had to answer: "Have you ever heard that there are Immortal Sect disciples who also hold secular official positions?"

Boom, there was an uproar underneath. What does it mean, is this to forcibly ban the position of the Emperor of the High Wind and the Wind?

Takatsuna knocked on the table, "Silence." Below, a note is distributed, with a tick for and a cross for against. "Using a tick to express an opinion is still a proposal from Gao Yuanfeng.

Several waiters quickly handed out a small blank piece of paper, and on the table there was already a new ink-filled quill pen invented by Gao Yuanfeng. The elders covered it with one hand and drew marks on the paper with the other. Then fold it over and put it on the table to wait for the waiter to recycle.

Hou Chu asked Gao Gang hesitantly, "This is the vote." So who's for and who's against, how do I know?"

Gao Gang said: "I can't let the proposer know, so as not to resentment each other." ”

Hou Chu didn't believe it, "It's always been like this?"

Gao Gang's face was also a little unhappy, "This is the case with major issues, especially those that seem to involve personnel appointments and dismissals. There is no more important issue concerning our Lord this time. ”

Hou Chu nodded coldly, "Okay, I'll see how many people dare to disobey the immortal decree." ”

What made Hou Chu's face pale was that the statistical results showed that less than ten people were in favor, and all the others were forks.

Gao Gang slammed the small gavel, "Now announce the results of the vote." Eight in favor and one hundred and twenty-two against. No one abstained. This proposal is restrictive. As the number of votes in favour was less than one third of the total, the case could not be resubmitted to the Cabinet. ”

Hou Chu was furious, "Gao Gang, what do you mean?"

Takatsuna explained: "If any proposal is not passed, but one-third of the cabinet elders approve it, it shows that it still has merit. The proposer may revise it, or after the argument has been explained, and then submit it to the Cabinet for a vote. If the number of votes in favor is less than one-third, it means that there is no need to continue the proposal on this case. ”

Hou Chu said strongly: "Do I have to ask you to pass today?"

Gao Gang did not retreat

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Jean, "That's against the law." The rule of law in the world is the doctrine of the law, and you cannot break the law without knowing the law. ”

Hou Chu said angrily: "This is the law of the high wind, the law of inheriting the wind, and the law of illegal teaching, can I still care about it?"

Gao Gang, "We are all ministers of the wind, so we naturally have to follow the law of the wind." One of the basic principles of our lord's law is to prohibit the use of force to bully the law. If the law of the Dharma cannot govern the disciples of the Fa, and if the law of the wind cannot govern the ministers of the wind, the law will be lawless. Ruling the world according to law is an empty phrase. ”

Hou Chu Senran said: "You are not afraid of death, if you disobey the immortal decree, you can punish the nine clans!"

Gao Gang stubbornly said: "I didn't disobey the immortal decree, I just reviewed it according to law." Even if you kill me, this proposal will still not pass and will not be considered again. Unless you use your power to abolish the law of bearing the wind. Hehe, then Chengfeng doesn't need the law, and all affairs are decided by the disciples of the Immortal Sect. ”

Hou Chu was really angry and wanted to kill Gao Gang, and then see who dared to disagree. It can be that in accordance with the law of the wind, this bill is no longer eligible to be submitted again. Hou Chu is not good at bad law in public, and the impact is too negative. He glared at Gao Gang hatefully, "Then I will submit a second proposal, for the sake of safety, move the Chengfeng Taixue Immortal Technique Institute to the Immortal Sect General Altar." Huangfu Cheng and others gave the Immortal Sect the status of true disciples. Hou Chu was not convinced, he didn't believe that Chengfeng and these guys dared to go against his will again and again. As the patrol envoy of the Immortal League, the deputy sect master of the Outer Sect of the Fa Sect, wherever he goes, others are not like seeing immortals, and the exit is an immortal decree, and he is actually deflated here today, which makes him really unacceptable.

Gao Gang counted the number of people again according to the procedure, and once again asked the paper to be distributed. This time, some people were more ruthless, and the blocking was saved, and they drew a fork directly. Anyway, if something happens, there is a tall man on top, and Hou Chu's anger is at least aimed at Gao Gang first, not to mention that the law does not punish the public, and there are many opponents, will Hou Chu kill them all?

However, Hou Chu's deterrent power is indeed not to be underestimated, because he directly released his divine consciousness in violation of regulations, making people unable to hide it. However, just over half of the votes in favor still fell short of the two-thirds that passed.

Hou Chu smashed the table in front of him with a palm, "It's a third of the way this time." I mention it again, and you vote it again. ”

Gao Gang said calmly: "Either you revise the proposal, or debate with everyone whether the transfer of the Immortal Art Institute to the Dharma Sect is beneficial to Chengfeng. ”

It's beneficial? It is naturally beneficial to the teachings of the Fa, but it is not good for the wind. This makes Hou Chu debate, could it be that Chengfeng must be unconditionally dedicated to the Fa Teachings.

Seeing Hou Chu's embarrassment and avoiding him from using excessive means on the spot, Han Fengqiu gave him a step in time, "Sect Master, telling them that it is a waste of time and lowering your identity, isn't it okay to go directly to Gao Yuanfeng." ”

Hou Chu stepped down, shook his hand, and strode out angrily, "Let's go, look for Huang Fuxin in his inner mansion." ”

Looking for Huang Fuxin is because of the connection with Gao Yuanfeng, which has always been the responsibility of the Inner Government. The inner house is the spokesperson of Gao Yuanfeng when he is not in the court.

After going out, Hou Chu's face quickly returned to normal, and there was still irrepressible anger. With his cultivation and identity, it is impossible to really be angry with Gao Gang, he wants to try the method of high and far-reaching wind, whether it can really be the same method as the noble and low. What kind of proposal, what the Dharma teachings want to do, do you have to accept the wind and disagree?

Cai Forest chattered and gave Gao Gang and the others eye medicine, saying that they had no reverence for the Immortal Sect.

Hou Chu glared at Cai Linlin, turned his head and asked Han Fengqiu, "Can this method be practiced in the sect, and can it be passed in the entire Yan Domain?"

Cai Linlin shuddered, knowing that he had guessed Hou Chu's mind wrong.

Han Fengqiu thought for a long time and shook his head, "It's difficult." Unless ······. ”

Unless anything, Hou Chu instantly understood. Except for Gao Yuanfeng, which emperor is willing to delegate power in this way? This is tantamount to handing over all the imperial power to the court. There is no end to those who take power, and there is no one who delegates.

Hou Chu sighed helplessly. Chengfeng This method is obviously politically harmonious, and all industries are prosperous, but it is too difficult to implement it in the whole Yan Domain, unless Gao Yuanfeng is the master of the Yan Domain. But that's impossible, even if Gao Yuanfeng is the master of the Yan Domain, it won't be long before he becomes the Lord of the Yan Domain, the elders of the Fa Sect, who doesn't have their own interests in the world?

"Didn't you come out in Yanhui Mountain?" Huang Fuxin's answer made Hou Chu a little worried, don't have an accident. Gao Yuanfeng's ability to study immortal books and cultivate disciples was of great significance to the teachings at this time.

Hou Chu did not say goodbye, came in a hurry, hurried away, led dozens of horsemen to rush out of Lijing, and went south at high speed.
