"Master Hongqing, are you serious?" After a silence, Master Li Ye, the Taixuan historian, asked Fang Jian.
Fang Jian looked at Master Li Ye seriously and said, "Of course I'm serious."
Upon hearing this, Master Li Ye immediately shook his head and said, "Master Hongqing, if that's all you say, it will be difficult for the Taixuan Province to approve your memorial."
Fang Jian looked towards the Great Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole, who nodded and said, "Master Li Ye is right, Fang Jian. If you cannot convince the thirty-three first-rank immortal officials of the literary and martial arts circles of the Taixuan Province in the main hall, then the Taixuan Province will not approve your "Spiritual Weapon Notice."
"Master Hongqing." At this time, another voice came from the right side of the hall.
Fang Jian turned his head and saw that it was also an old acquaintance. It was the True Man Weisheng who led the heavenly soldiers and generals to suppress the various demon tribes when he first became the God of Duanjie Mountain.
Immortal Weisheng was the deputy governor of Taixuandu Province and a first-rank immortal official in the martial arts world. At this moment, he was looking at Fang Jian and said, "Imperial Master Hongqing, the harm of sending spiritual weapons to the mortal world is greater than the benefit. Immortal Hongqing should be cautious."
"Fang Jian." Dongji Qinghua Emperor looked at Fang Jian and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Fang Jian raised his head, looked at the Eastern Qinghua Emperor and said, "Since all my colleagues disagree, I have nothing more to say."
The Great Emperor Qinghua of Dongji obviously did not support his memorial, otherwise he would have approved it long ago. There would be no need to summon him to Taixuandu Province and let a group of officials from Taixuandu Province discuss it.
If the Great Emperor Qinghua of Dongji does not speak out in support, then the chief officials of Taixuan Province will definitely not pass it.
However, after hearing Fang Jian's words, Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole said, "Then let's take a vote. How many support the Xitian Mansion Spiritual Weapon Proposal, and how many oppose it?"
Afterwards, the thirty-three immortal officials in the hall began to vote, and the final result was that only three people supported Fang Jian's spiritual weapon proposal.
These three people are Xun Kuang Zhenren, the governor of Taixuan Province, Ping Han Zhenren, the governor of Taixuan Province, and Qu Daoping Zhenren, the junior director of Taixuan Province.
The other thirty people all opposed it, so the attitude of Taixuan Province was very clear.
"Seal up the "Explanation of Spiritual Instruments." The Great Emperor Qinghua of the East said to Yin Xi, the True Man of Wenshi.
"I obey the order of the law." Wenshi Zhenren Yin Xi bowed and responded.
This means that the "Spiritual Weapon Memorial" was not passed. It was neither approved nor rejected, but was directly sealed.
Fang Jian sighed inwardly, feeling slightly disappointed. Sometimes it was just so difficult to get things done.
Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole looked at Fang Jian and said, "Fang Jian, the discussion on the 'Spiritual Weapon Draft' ends here. This move is too risky, and Taixuan Province will not approve it. Do you have anything else to say?"
"No more." Fang Jian bowed respectfully and said, "I will obey the decision of the Taixuan Province. I, Fang Jian, will take my leave."
"Don't be so hasty to leave." The Eastern Qinghua Emperor said with a smile, "Although I have rejected your 'Spiritual Weapon Notice', it's not easy for you to work in Xitian Mansion. Do you have any other requests? It can't be something like the 'Spiritual Weapon Notice'."
Fang Jian heard this and after a moment's thought, he immediately said, "Your Excellency, I do have something else to report. I hope you will approve it."
The Great Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole said, "You may report it immediately."
Fang Jian bowed respectfully, then said, "I request that the Grand Envoy incorporate the 'divine generals' of the Four Heavenly Sovereigns' Palaces into the ranks of the 'Heavenly Soldiers', establish a special 'Pacification Office' within the Four Heavenly Sovereigns' Palaces, and have Heaven send Heavenly Soldiers to expand the number of personnel to 10,000."
Hearing Fang Jian's request, Emperor Qinghua of Dongji was slightly startled, and then looked at Fang Jian with some surprise.
You should know that the "divine generals" of the Tianjun Palace are not affiliated with the Heavenly Court, but are the "private soldiers" of the four Tianjun Palaces. Although the rank of immortal officials is only eighth grade, they are still immortal officials of the Heavenly Court after all. In fact, it is just a private reserve of power given to the four Tianjun Palaces.
Because the four great generals of the Heavenly Sovereign Palace are not directly under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court and the Tianshu Province, they can be selected and appointed by the Heavenly Sovereign Palace itself, and some of them are definitely "relatives".
However, due to the special situation of Xitian Mansion, this situation is rare, but it is very common in the other three Heavenly King Mansions.
Now Fang Jian requested to incorporate the divine generals into the ranks of heavenly soldiers, which meant that he would voluntarily hand over the power of the Heavenly Sovereign's Mansion to the Heavenly Court. In the future, the vacancies of heavenly soldiers could only be filled through the Taixuan Province and the Tianshu Province, and he could no longer appoint them himself.
Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole looked at Fang Jian and said, "This isn't difficult. It can be carried out once the decree is issued. But do you know how the other three Heavenly Monarch Palaces will view you if you really issue the decree and implement it?"
This is what the Eastern Qinghua Emperor is reminding Fang Jian. It is easy for you to do this, and I will not reject it, but you will offend the other three Heavenly Monarch Palaces, so you have to think carefully about it.
But Fang Jian didn't care. What if I offended him? Come and hit me if you dare?
Besides, there are only benefits and no harm in incorporating the divine generals into the sequence of heavenly generals. Doing so will only result in a small loss for some people in the Heavenly Monarch's Palace, but in return will be a great benefit for the Heavenly Court.
"I don't care how they look at me. I just do what I should do." Fang Jian said with a bow.
Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole nodded slightly, then said to Fang Jian, "Since that's the case, the Taixuan Province will officially issue an edict tomorrow."
"Thank you, Master." Fang Jian immediately bowed and kowtowed.
Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole nodded, and then asked, "Anything else?"
Fang Jian said, "My Lord, there is no more. I will take my leave."
"Yes." The Eastern Qinghua Emperor waved his whisk and said, "Go ahead, but don't leave Taixuandu Province yet. I will report the matter of you assaulting an immortal official in Taixuandu Province to the Great Celestial Venerable for punishment."
