Chapter 919: Reorganize the Elders' Association

In the divine realm, people celebrate victory.

When the news of Elder Zhao's capture spread outside the city, the soldiers who had been loyal to him laid down their arms and expressed their willingness to submit to Elder Li.

Elder Li immediately sent his henchmen to reorganize these troops.

At the initiative of Elder Li and Lei Shaoyuan, they established the Provisional Council of Elders, and the two served as the president and vice president respectively, taking over everything in the divine realm.

The first order issued by the Provisional Presbyterian Council was to stop the war with the Terrans and the Barbarians, and the three tribes should be reconciled and coexist peacefully.

The second order is to resume trade activities with the Holy Heaven Continent and save the Divine Realm economy, which is about to collapse.

The first dozens of Terran transport ships appeared over the city, bringing all kinds of supplies from the warehouse, and in order to facilitate the purchase of the people, the Provisional Council of Elders decided not to interfere in the matter, and used free trade to trade, using purple gold as currency.

Due to the abundant quantity of goods and the proper management, the Protoss did not have a rush to buy, and the two sides of the transaction maintained due restraint, and the market was prosperous.

Because it was too simple to come smoothly, the tense nerves in Ye Yunyang's heart never relaxed.

He always felt that there was something strange about this matter, Elder Zhao couldn't admit defeat so easily, surrendering was just an expedient measure, he must be holding back some conspiracy.

In this regard, Lei Shaoyuan and Elder Li disagreed.

In their opinion, the reason why there was a successful result was because a lot of preparation work had been done before, and countless people, including the two of them, had struggled for hundreds of years, and success was the inevitable result.

Moreover, they started their actions after Zhao and Qian were both defeated, and Elder Zhao's power had been exhausted by Qian and Sun, so they naturally achieved twice the result with half the effort.

South of the city, a hidden dungeon.

This place was originally used by the Council of Elders to hold rebels, but now it has become the exclusive prison of Elder Zhao alone.

In order to ensure safety, Elder Li sent dozens of Infinite Realm masters to act as guards, and the cell leader was Li Chengfeng, who he trusted the most.

Li Chengfeng's task was to keep an eye on Elder Zhao twenty-four hours a day, as long as he felt that the other party was engaged in a conspiracy, he could cut it first and then play it.

Elder Zhao was locked up in a small cell, with a single-story iron fence replaced with a three-story bar, and Li Chengfeng lived next door to him in order to complete the surveillance work.

In the past few days, he had never closed his eyes, and the others were also very nervous, for fear that Elder Zhao would engage in a conspiracy.

On the other hand, Elder Zhao was very calm from the moment he moved in, except for sleeping and eating, he sat on the bed alone in a daze.

He once asked to read a book, but Li Chengfeng refused.

Half a month has passed, and he is still very honest, Ye Yunyang is a lot more relieved.

Another month had passed, and the dungeon was still very calm, and Ye Yunyang was completely relieved.

In this month and a half, under the leadership of Elder Li and with the vigorous assistance of Lei Shaoyuan, the two completed the reorganization of the Council of Elders, the most important of which was to abolish the system of the four elders and change the name of the Council of Elders to the House of Elders.

The House of Elders is divided into the Upper House and the Lower House, the Lower House is responsible for the proposal of the plan and the implementation of various specific tasks, the Upper House is responsible for finalizing the plan proposed by the House of Lords, and the House of Elders has the right of veto on unreasonable and problematic bills.

The lower house is composed of one hundred and eight elders, mainly from the various branches of the original presbyterian church, and the upper house is composed of thirty-two elders, who study, analyze and give results on the proposal in line with the principle of the minority obeying the majority.

Elder Li served as the Speaker of the House of Lords, Lei Shaoyuan served as the Deputy Speaker, and concurrently served as the Speaker of the House of Commons, both of whom have the status of elders of the House of Lords.

Another rule that is different from the previous one is that the positions of the Speaker and Vice-Chairperson, including the elders of the upper and lower councils, shall be held for a term of 40 years, and each person may serve a maximum of three consecutive terms, rather than a lifelong system that has lasted for tens of thousands of years.

Tenure is seriously flawed, because it can be unscrupulous, and it tends to spoil an otherwise upright person.

For example, Elder Zhao, when he became the Great Elder, he also wanted to revitalize the Protoss, but after a long time, shortcomings such as laziness, stubbornness, and self-righteousness bred and gradually became dominant.

It is not surprising that in the face of absolute power, no one dares to guarantee that they will stick to their original intention and remain unchanged.

The Speaker is elected by the elders, who are elected by the people.

These new systems were produced under the initiative of Ye Yunyang, and as a person whose soul is from the earth, it is natural to advocate the parliamentary system.

The first bill passed by the House of Elders was to make peace with the Terrans and Barbarians for generations a charter, to recognize the legitimate status of the Terrans and the Barbarians, and to allow the three tribes to merge with each other, especially the Barbarians, who could freely enter and leave the city and freely choose the place of settlement.

Since then, there has been no more war in the divine realm.

Time flies, time flies.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and the Divine Realm returned to its previous strong state, and the scale of the city not only returned to its original level, but also expanded.

On the streets of the divine realm, you can often see human races and barbarians, and everyone coexists peacefully and happily.

In the Holy Heaven Continent, in the gathering place of the barbarians, the figure of the Protoss can often be seen, and the fusion of the three clans has become the norm.

In the Pingnan Palace, white light shines through the wooden windows of the practice room.

Ye Yunyang opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw were the four girls Dongfang Yixue, Liu Yuying, Ying Qi and Mei Yu, as well as Xiaoqiu who was held in Liu Yuying's arms.

"Yun Yang, you are really powerful, in just over half a year, you have actually risen from the Mythical Realm Ten Heavens to the Infinite Realm Seventh Heaven, a full seven levels!" Mei Yu praised loudly.

He smiled modestly and said, "It's okay, an average of one level a month is a normal speed." ”

When he was below the Chaos Realm, it was normal to upgrade to one level in a month, but now he was in the Immeasurable Realm, and such a speed was enough to make all the Protoss masters embarrassed.

To take the simplest example, Elder Li was already close to two thousand years old before he had reached the Infinite Realm Ten Heavens.

And it was very important because Ye Yunyang gave him a 6,000-year, 10,000-year, and 30,000-year-old wood spirit core, which helped him upgrade to two levels, otherwise he would still be wandering in the Eight Heavens of the Immeasurable Realm.

The human race has entered the stage of mythology, and a group of people from the Fenglin faction lead the master list.

Kaiyang Star, the Terran base.

Yin Zishi is no longer in charge of the work here, he has been awarded the title of county marquis because of his previous bravery in air battles, and now holds the position of fleet commander with Wu Junyan.

The Pingnan Wang Special Shuttle hovered over the base, and everyone came forward to greet the arrival of Ye Yunyang and several princesses.

After some greetings, Ye Yunyang made a request, this time he wanted to hunt for a million-year-old wood spirit core.

......

The divine realm, the dungeon south of the city.

Elder Zhao, as usual, wore a white prison robe, washed up and began to eat.

The prison clothes were very old, but they were cleanly washed.

After breakfast, he began to read.

Three months ago, he was allowed to read biographical books, which were not politically or military-related.

While reading, he would take notes at the same time, and by now he had filled three notebooks.

Li Chengfeng would check what he had read and what he had written in his notes every day, and report to Elder Li and Lei Shaoyuan once a week.

In his opinion, Elder Zhao had completely accepted his fate, and he would spend the rest of his life here, and there would be no chance to turn over.

On the south side of the cell, on the long dilapidated table was a very rudimentary shrine - a not very complete blue brick, and the relatively flat side was engraved with the words "Spiritual Seat of the Ancestors of the Protoss".

The characters were carved by Elder Zhao himself, using the broken porcelain bowl fragments as a carving knife, and he was already an ordinary person, and the strength of his hands was limited, resulting in the handwriting was not neat, and the nicks were also of different shades.

Long before he became the head of the Presbyterian Church, he had begun to worship shrines with the same content, and it has not changed over the years, as many people know.

So no one thinks it is strange that he will light three sticks of incense every evening.

Li Chengfeng had described his devotion to Elder Li many times.

A guard walked in from outside and whispered a few words to Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng frowned slightly, and said, "Zhao Minghui, Elder Li has already agreed to your request, the shrine will be sent over soon, your purpose has been achieved, you can stop for a few days, right?"

Zhao Minghui is Elder Zhao's real name.

Ever since he became the Great Elder, no one had dared to call out this name to his face, at least for more than a thousand years.

Elder Zhao smiled faintly and said, "As expected, I believe that your Elder Li has studied it carefully, it is an ordinary tablet, just because it has been used for many years and has feelings." ”

A month ago, he asked to send in the shrine that he had been worshipping before, Li Chengfeng passed the word, and Elder Li and Lei Shaoyuan studied the shrine for a whole month, and determined that it was made of the most ordinary black stone, without any special features, before finally agreeing.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, someone put the shrine in a tray and sent it to the cell.

Li Chengfeng carefully inspected it to make sure that there was nothing abnormal, and ordered his subordinates to open the prison door, reach out and pick up the black stone shrine and hand it to Elder Zhao.

It is said to be a shrine, but it is actually a tablet made of stone, plus the base is about one foot high, four inches wide, and the upper, left, and right sides are carved with simple patterns, and the words "the spiritual seat of the ancestors of the gods" are engraved in the middle.

It's not a delicate thing, but it's a world of difference compared to the brick.

Elder Zhao's eyes were burning, he took the tablet and carefully placed it on the table, wiping it with his sleeve.

Li Chengfeng expressed his incomprehension, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Isn't it just a broken stone, as for seeing it like a baby." ”

"You don't understand, it's a baby to me. Elder Zhao said solemnly: "It has been worshiped by me for more than a thousand years, and it is also a proof of my devotion to the ancestor of the God Clan. ”

Li Chengfeng disagreed: "What's the use of piety? If worshipping God is useful, how can you become a prisoner." ”

With that, he turned and walked out of the cell, and the guards locked the door layer by layer.

Elder Zhao smiled indifferently, bent down to pick up a small piece of porcelain fragment, and said with deep meaning: "You will know what it does immediately, don't blame me for not reminding you, anyone who opposes me has only one end, and that is death, which was the case before and will be the same in the future." ”

Hearing these words, Li Chengfeng frowned, and at the same time remembered Elder Li's personal order, if he thought it was dangerous, he could directly kill Elder Zhao without asking for instructions, and he said coldly: "Zhao Minghui, don't challenge my patience, you will die because of this." ”

Elder Zhao ignored it, and suddenly swiped the sharp side of the porcelain piece towards his fingers.
