After everyone arrived, Yan Boqiao ordered the door to be closed, blocking out the noise outside Wenshi Hall, and announced the start of the discussion.
"Ziyu is seriously injured and has not recovered. Jiang Ying, Luo Lingfu and Lu Tong have not returned from the trip. Everyone who can be reached has arrived, so let's discuss it first. Donglizi was originally a practitioner in the Void Realm, and he signed the Heart Oath Document , decided to serve in the academy. According to the usual practice, all the monks in the academy to those who are practicing have the opportunity to be recommended to serve. Several bachelors asked us to discuss this matter, whether to recommend Donglizi to serve as the academy. Please express your opinions."
In the Eighteenth Anniversary of Xuegong, four of them were envoys who had no right to discuss matters. Among the remaining fourteen people, Jianwu lost his right to discuss matters, so Yan Boqiao did not mention his name. Yu Xi and Sang Tianwu both joined forces. , was promoted to bachelor. It can be said that in today's academy, there are only twelve people who really have the right to speak. The eight people present today are actually quite a lot.
Changhong was the first to jump up: "I don't agree! Don't the bachelors know why Brother Gongye died? Today, Donglizi is recommended as a follower. How do you face Brother Gongye's spirit in heaven?"
Yan Boqiao advised: "Eldest son, by whose hands Gongye died that year, you were present, not Donglizi, so don't be angry about it."
Changhong said angrily: "To express anger? How can it be to express anger? Who taught Wu Sheng as a disciple? Isn't he Donglizi? What's the difference between brother Gongye's death at the hands of Wu Sheng and his death at the hands of Donglizi? ?”
Yan Boqiao urged: "After all, he did not die at the hands of Dong Lizi. Moreover, several bachelors agreed to release Dong Lizi and allowed him to serve in the academy. Why are we still entangled in the hatred for so many years?"
Changhong said: "It is precisely because Donglizi did not do it himself that several bachelors reluctantly agreed to release Donglizi. This is the limit of my patience, Changhong, but if I want to recommend him as a follower, I firmly disagree!"
Wu Sheng couldn't let Yan Boqiao go it alone, so he stepped forward to help: "Eldest son, you have to think about the overall situation of the academy, and you can't just focus on the past grudges. Since Dong Lizi has been released, the past grudges have been wiped out, why are you still suffering? What about the entanglement? Not allowing Dong Lizi to practice it is to extinguish Dong Lizi's fiery passion to serve the academy, and it is a slap in the face of the great alchemist. From now on, what kind of unity can there be between fellow students in the academy? Unity is Power, this is where the morality of the academy presides over the world’s spiritual practice!”
There were only eight people discussing the matter. Master Pan and Nongqiu never spoke much. Uncle Lian couldn't let Changhong stand alone, so he immediately left the meeting. He said: "Sun Fengxing's words are wrong. I really want to support the academy." If you think about it, you shouldn’t recommend it! The felons we arrested in the past can be ranked among our colleagues as long as they admit their mistakes and sign a document. Who else among the monks of the academy will dare to do anything in the future? If they really do this, they are the ones who belong to the academy. Hidden danger."
Wu Sheng asked: "What's the hidden danger?"
Uncle Lian said: "I am afraid of being gay!"
Wu Sheng raised a pile of joint proposals in his hand: "Fellow fellows are not convinced? Who are the fellows in the academy? Uncle Lian, these are the fellows in the academy, they represent the will of the fellows! Look at these few steps from outside Wenshi Hall , how many joint letters have you received? Ah, this is still a blood letter, take a look..."
With that said, Wu Sheng distributed the joint letters to various practitioners, mainly Panshi and Nongqiu. The two curiously lowered their heads and read through them, sighing. Seeing that Chenzi kept a blue face and said nothing, Wu Sheng also handed him a copy.
Wu Sheng continued: "You all heard it when I came in. The crowd was furious, and they unanimously requested that Donglizi be recommended as a disciple. With the friendship of all the great alchemists, it will increase the power of the academy to preside over the right path! It should be noted that Donglizi is different from Others are not people with notorious evil deeds! Even if they are wrong, after all, people are not saints, and who can have no faults? He has been detained for more than ten years, and the crime he deserves has been paid. We must allow others to repent. Since forgiveness , we must forgive completely, otherwise the gain outweighs the loss!"
During the discussion, Yan Boqiao and Wu Sheng were mainly responsible for dealing with Lian Shu and Chang Hong. The four of them were arguing with each other, but no one could persuade the other.
Of course, they didn't intend to persuade each other. What they wanted to persuade was Panshi and Nongqiu, as well as Tatsuko who seemed hesitant next to them.
After arguing for a long time, everything that needed to be said was said. Yan Boqiao announced: "Since the controversy is so big, we should still use the old method. Please express your position. I will report your opinions to all the bachelors."
After a pause, he immediately expressed his position: "Yan agrees to recommend Donglizi as the chief executive." As a great leader, the first one to express his position is to work hard to increase influence on other people.
For the same reason, Uncle Lian immediately objected: "I don't agree!"
Changhong also shouted: "I never agree!"
Uncle Lian urged Ji Xian: "Ji Zi!"
Ji Xian sighed and finally expressed his position: "Let's discuss it after Dong Lizi has made new contributions to the academy. Let's forget it this time."
He expressed his opposition, but Changhong was very dissatisfied: "Ji Zi, what do you mean by this? Will it happen again in the future?"
Ji Xian smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said no more.
Uncle Lian turned around to urge Chenzi again, but Chenzi just bowed his head in thought without any expression. Uncle Lian's heart tightened, and he secretly thought that Chenzi would be different from what he expected?
Changhong couldn't help but said: "Tatsuko, what are you still hesitating about? The prisoner under your care is about to become a monk. Can you accept it?"
Yan Boqiao said displeasedly: "Eldest son, everyone has their own opinions, how can you force others? If you do this again, I will use my power to drive you out of my Wenshitang!"
Chenzi finally expressed his position: "Let's discuss it after Donglizi has made contributions to the academy."
This time Changhong didn't dare to complain anymore, but praised: "Tatsuko, that's right."
Ji Xian, who had just been complained by him for the same reason, couldn't help but roll his eyes and snorted.
Changhong said: "Yan Fengxing, what do you say?"
Yan Boqiao stroked his beard and said, "What do you say?"
Changhong said: "The recommendation of Donglizi was rejected. Yan Fengxing reported it to all the bachelors. Is there going to be another repetition?"
Yan Boqiao asked curiously: "Sun Wu, Panshi and Nongqiu didn't say anything, so why was it rejected?"
Changhong said: "Four to one! Even if they all agree, it's still half to half, and the matter just didn't pass."
When deliberation is carried out, there will often be a half-to-half situation, and the default is usually that it has not been passed. After all, there are too many objections, indicating that the proposal is not feasible.
Yan Boqiao shook his head and said: "In any case, fully respect everyone's opinions. This is the rule of discussion. You can't stop others from speaking just because it is useful or useless."
Changhong was about to say something, but Uncle Lian stopped him: "Eldest son, stop talking. Brother Yan is right. Let's wait until everyone has finished speaking."
Wu Sheng said: "On behalf of Longhu Hall, I agree to recommend Dong Lizi as the leader of the academy."
Two to four.
It was Pan Master and Nong Qiu's turn. Uncle Lian urged: "Hurry up."
Wu Sheng pointed to the joint letter in their hands and said, "Don't worry, you two should think about it carefully. Which opinion represents the righteous voice of our colleagues in the academy, and which side should we stand on?"
