Chapter 82: The Council of Elders
A middle-class sect elder, the cultivation of the Yuanying Great Perfection, after coming to the small sect of the Divine Sword Sect, he could only become a refining or alchemy elder, which made it difficult for Elder Hu to accept.
The drop is too big.
However, the Divine Sword Sect strongly opposed him as a law enforcement elder, and even cited the fact that he was expelled from the sect by Fulongguan because of his lax discipline of his grandson to refute:
"Let me ask Hu Daoyou, you can't even manage your own grandson well, how can you make people believe that you are in charge of a sect's criminal law?"
Hearing this, Elder Hu was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.
- The real reason why I was expelled from the sect is because you don't have a fork in your heart? Isn't it just an excuse?
But he couldn't argue with it.
I can't say that this is what I did, just to find a reason to leave Fulongguan, right?
Although anyone with a discerning eye can see what is going on in this matter, this thing can be seen through but not broken.
If you say it, it looks too ugly.
So he could only swallow this breath.
What can I do?
Fighting with the Divine Sword Sect and fighting to the death is not in line with Qing Yingzi's idea of swallowing the Divine Sword Sect.
Moreover, the current Divine Sword Sect is still headed by Zhong Yuan, and there is a mysterious god cultivator behind Zhong Yuan.
Before Zhong Yuan left the Divine Sword Sect, he was fighting hard, and he didn't know who would win and who would lose.
There was no way, he could only endure the nausea and chose the position of alchemy elder, but he was thinking in his heart: "Let you stumble, wait for fifty years, Zhong Yuan will leave, Lan Ying will become the head, see how you still jump." ”
Fifty years later, according to the agreement between Zhong Yuan and the Divine Sword Sect, he will no longer hold the position of the head of the Divine Sword Sect, and the position of the head of the sect, according to common sense, is naturally succeeded by Lan Ying, a disciple of the head of the sect.
At that time, the Divine Sword Sect will be truly in charge of the people of the Qing Yingzi line.
Now this breath, just endure it for the time being.
Elder Hu didn't expect that it didn't take long for Zhong Yuan to introduce his Council of Elders bill in a meeting of the elders.
The Presbyterian Bill is to weaken the power of the head of the sect, and the Presbyterian Council is the highest authority of the sect.
The Council of Elders is composed of the head of the sect, the disciples of the head, the elders with real power, and the honorary elders.
The majority of the honorary elders are nominated by the permanent elders and elected by the difference of all the Jindan monks in the sect.
The Council of Elders can remove the head.
The Council of Elders may veto the successor.
The head of the family is required to report regularly to the Council of Elders.
Each of these is something that has never been done before in the cultivation realm, and it is shocking.
The three elders of the Qing Yingzi line, including Elder Hu, were all shocked, and they couldn't react for half a sound.
None of them were stupid, and after hearing such a bill, they all felt that this was a bill that was enough to change the power structure of the cultivation realm.
Although it weakens the power of the sect leader, but increases the power of the sect's elders and disciples, as long as one sect starts this, it is conceivable that it will soon be like a prairie fire, sweeping the entire cultivation realm.
Who wouldn't want to have a little more power in their hands?
Even Elder Hu and the others obviously saw that this was a bill to check and balance the Qing Yingzi line, but deep down they had to admit that this was a good bill, a very great bill.
Nothing else, increasing the power of those of them who are elders.
Think about becoming a powerful elder, that is, the standing elder of the presbyterian council, at the same level as the head, with an indefinite term of office, and the power to nominate honorary elders, and even the power to remove the head and veto the head of the successor, how cool is that?
Moreover, such a bill can also make the major decisions of a sect more stable, and avoid the situation where the head has too much power, and the head is a decision, and the head is slapped and a decision comes out.
When they heard Zhong Yuan explain the bill he proposed in detail, Elder Hu and the others trembled with excitement because they had witnessed the birth of this great bill.
Isn't it great that the bill that is enough to change the cultivation realm and make the cultivation realm better?
They feel that they have witnessed history and have an indescribable sense of pride.
Then, they rejected the bill.
"I can't accept it," Elder Hu suppressed the excitement in his heart and said expressionlessly, "As far as I know, there has never been such a bill in the cultivation realm, and it is conceivable that after such a law is implemented, the supreme power of the sect will be dispersed, which will inevitably aggravate the infighting in the sect, which is not conducive to the development of the sect. ”
"I can't accept it either," Elder Zhao said, "As the leader of the sect, the head of the sect should have the highest power, and he should follow his word and follow the law, so as to ensure the efficiency of the sect." How much time will be wasted if the head of the sect has to make any major decisions in the future according to the bill of the chief, and it will have to be reported to the Council of Elders first, and the Council of Elders will approve before it can be implemented? Sometimes, if the opportunity is fleeting, and if it is not grasped in time, it may be missed forever, and who can afford such a loss?"
It's a weird-looking scene.
As the head of the family, he took the initiative to introduce a bill aimed at weakening the power of the head and increasing the power of the elders.
And the elders, who are actually vehemently opposed to this bill.
It is as if everyone is a selfless person who ignores his own interests.
The main reason is that all Jindan monks in a sect have the right to elect honorary elders.
Among the thousands of disciples of the Divine Sword Sect now, there are five or six hundred Jindan monks, and they have an overwhelming advantage over the Qing Yingzi line in terms of numbers.
In this way, the Council of Elders would be firmly controlled by the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect.
Under such circumstances, after Zhong Yuan left, it would be impossible for the Council of Elders to let Lan Ying become the head of the Divine Sword Sect, but would choose another person who he liked.
It accounts for the majority among the standing elders, and it accounts for the majority among the honorary elders, and the supreme authority of the Divine Sword Sect is firmly controlled by the monks of the original Divine Sword Sect, and what is the matter with the Qing Ying Sect?
Could it be that Qing Yingzi sold so much face and took out so many resources just to become an eternal minority of the Divine Sword Sect for the people of his own lineage?
That's too much deception, isn't it?
Although such a bill had a great temptation for the three elders of the Qing Ying Zi line, they knew that if they agreed, the Qing Ying Zi would definitely tear them apart.
So they say that they will not agree to such a bill.
At the same time, they didn't understand why Zhong Yuan proposed such a bill.
Not to mention taking the initiative to weaken power, he has no intention of being the head of the house anyway.
The question is, does Zhong Yuan really think that this kind of institutional thing, under absolute strength, can play a role?
