Chapter 88 Promulgation Rules
Qing Mingzi also received this detailed rule at about the same time, and after reading each of the regulations on it very carefully, he shook his head:
"Although it is a good system, if there is no strong force to ensure its authority, such a system can only be a joke, after all, the cultivation realm is a world where the strong are respected, not a world of reason. ”
He can naturally see that such a system can only play a role when the strength of the two sides is equal, and once the balance of power is broken, no matter how good the system is, it will not be able to play any role in checks and balances.
After more than half a year of quarreling between the two factions, he came up with such a literal thing, which made him feel that it was a pure waste of time.
He didn't object, at least it didn't seem to have much of a detrimental effect on his people.
As long as his people are not very wasteful, they can control the Divine Sword Sect in one or two hundred years at most.
If it goes well, he may be able to do this before he dies.
If, under such a system, the people of his faction still can't control the Divine Sword Sect in the end, it can only mean that those people are too useless and too selfish, they all have their own selfishness, and they are not united.
Well, if it collapses, it will collapse.
Nothing is a pity.
This detailed rules of the Council of Elders were agreed by Qing Yingzi, and the head Zhong Yuan also nodded in approval, and the next thing was to officially implement it in the Divine Sword Sect.
The Council of Elders, an unprecedented system in the cultivation realm, caused heated discussions among many disciples as soon as it was announced in the inner gate of the Divine Sword Sect.
It's shocking.
Those disciples never imagined that they could still have such power.
In the past, in the cultivation realm, monks were able to enter the sect, which was already a great gift from the sect, and this kind of kindness was even more important to monks than the grace of their parents.
As soon as you enter the immortal gate, you will be an extraordinary person, and this kind of creation is not available to everyone.
Therefore, most of the people who can enter the sect will be grateful to the sect and loyal, and feel that it is a matter of course to pay more for the sect, and they do not ask the sect for their own power.
The sect accepted you to get started, it is already a great kindness, it is a kindness that will not be finished in a lifetime, and it doesn't owe you anything, where did you come from this face to ask for power?
That's too much of a rebellion.
Therefore, in the infinite years, there has never been such a system in the cultivation realm—because no one thought that those disciples who did not have positions could have that kind of power to indirectly participate in the major decisions of the sect through voting.
This is from the previous head of the responsibility system to the presbyterian council responsibility system, in the way that the minority obeys the majority to deal with the major affairs of the sect, avoiding excessive concentration of power, making the decision-making of the sect more stable, and there will be no more situations where the sect will be divided immediately after the death of the head of the Divine Sword Sect and the head disciples.
The Council of Elders is responsible for the decision-making of major matters of the sect, and the honorary elders who have a majority of seats in the Council of Elders are voted for by all the Jindan disciples in the sect, which means that the Council of Elders is responsible for those Jindan disciples if they want to be elected next term.
Although the Jindan disciples already belong to the elite level in the inner gate, they are not the majority, but at least the Jindan realm is a realm that has the opportunity to touch for the inner disciples, and they are not Jindan monks now, and they may not be in the future, and it is naturally a good thing to have such power.
After the introduction of this system, not only those Jindan disciples were very excited, but also those foundation building disciples were also excited, and they had a sense of pride in being the masters of their own affairs, which made their relationship with the sect deeper.
Although the kindness of the teacher is as heavy as a mountain, those who are disciples can only be grateful, not resentful. But if you have the opportunity to participate in the major decisions of the sect, it will undoubtedly be better.
In the minds of many disciples of the Divine Sword Sect, the introduction of this elder council system has been even better.
At the beginning, when the Divine Sword Sect decided to let Zhong Yuan, an outsider, come over and be their leader, many disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were unconvinced.
However, later, with some monks of Qing Yingzi as a foil, Zhong Yuan's image in the minds of the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect suddenly became much more cordial.
However, there are still some disciples who are more or less uncomfortable with this outsider coming to be their head.
At the bottom of the sect, there was even a voice that said that Zhong Yuan and some of the monks of the Qing Ying Sect had joined forces to seize the interests of the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect.
After the introduction of the presbyterian system here, the voices of doubt about Zhong Yuan disappeared.
Even if someone wants to provoke this matter, as long as they say it, they will be attacked by the majority of the crowd and the signs of disharmony will be extinguished.
How could a person who betrayed the interests of the sect introduce such a system, take the initiative to weaken his own power, and give the highest decision-making power of the sect to the majority of the sect?
Under the system of the majority of the elders voted by the Jindan disciples, it can be said that the elders are controlled by the disciples of the Shenjian Sect who are the majority of the Jindan monks, which is obviously a matter that is beneficial to the Shenjian Sect, in this case, it is also said that Zhong Yuan has bad intentions for the Shenjian Sect, then it is a bit ill-intentioned.
After the promulgation of the presbyterian system in the sect, the election of the first emeritus elders began.
The first step is for the seven executive elders who have the right to nominate to propose a total of 21 emeritus elders.
In the second step, all the Jindan monks of the sect voted for the twenty-one candidates for honorary elders, and the top fourteen with the most votes were elected honorary elders.
Voting is simple, but selecting the twenty-one candidates for the Honorary Elders is not a simple matter.
Although the honorary elders only serve a term of 50 years, and they are re-elected after 50 years, they have the power to decide on major matters of the sect during these 50 years, and the benefits they bring to individuals and small groups are still great.
Except for those higher-level permanent elders in the sect, everyone in the sect wanted to sit in that position.
But not everyone can sit in that position.
Exactly who should sit in that position will need to be considered.
Although the seven permanent elders only have the right to nominate and cannot decide the final candidates, during this time, there are quite a few people looking for them, and they all want to get a nomination for an honorary elder.
If you are nominated, you may not be elected, but if you don't even get a nomination, you won't even be eligible to run for election.
If you don't fight this time, if you want to fight for it in the future, you will have to wait for another fifty years.
The period for the permanent elders to submit all the names of the emeritus elders is three months, which is the time when the monks who aspire to become emeritus elders are most active.
