Shengxing had already anticipated Jingyan's attitude. He predicted that Jingyan would not easily agree to join the Lingao Empire. Therefore, upon hearing Jingyan's words, Minister Shengxing's expression did not change.
"Jingyan God of War!" Minister Shengxing said in a sincere tone: "There is one thing I want to confess to you. I have some personal relations with Duke Yinghua of the Xuanqin Kingdom, and the relationship between Jingyan God of War and the Xuanqin Kingdom is somewhat rigid.
So before, I was a little disrespectful to God of War Jing Yan. Now, I formally apologize to God of War Jing Yan. I just hope that God of War Jing Yan will not refuse the invitation of Lingao Empire just because he has a personal opinion against me."
When the Minister of Shengxing apologized, he bowed deeply to Jing Yan.
Jing Yan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Minister Shengxing to be so willing to take it up and let it go.
"This Minister Shengxing is not a simple person!" Jing Yan thought to himself.
"Minister Shengxing is serious. I can make it clear that it is not because of Minister Shengxing's personal reasons that I refuse the invitation from the Lingao Empire. But, I will indeed not leave Longyan Kingdom." Jing Yan shook his head again.
said.
"God of War Jing Yan is resolute. It seems that I can't convince God of War Jing Yan." Minister Shengxing showed a helpless expression.
When he came, Emperor Bi Wei of the Lingao Empire told him that he could promise War God Jing Yan a lot of benefits. As long as Jing Yan War God is willing to join the Lingao Empire, the Lingao Empire can give Jing Yan War God a lot of resources and resources.
Benefits. After meeting Jing Yan, God of War, Minister Shengxing did not have the opportunity to further discuss with Jing Yan, God of War, because Jing Yan's attitude was very firm and not the kind of attitude that could be discussed.
Therefore, even if Minister Shengxing makes extravagant remarks, it may not be of any use.
"Okay! Jing Yan, the God of War, and King Ji Yu, I will take my leave first. When I go back, I will return my message to the emperor." Minister Sheng Xing said goodbye to Jing Yan and King Ji Yu.
"Minister Shengxing, walk slowly." Jing Yan nodded.
"Jing Yan, God of War, do you really not want to consider it?" After Minister Shengxing left, King Ji Yan looked at Jing Yan and said.
"Don't think about it." Jing Yan waved his hand.
…
Minister Shengxing went back to report to Emperor Biwei. He told Emperor Biwei about Jing Yan's firm attitude.
"Jing Yan, God of War, has such deep feelings for Longyan Country?" Emperor Bi Wei was a little surprised and said with a frown.
"Your Majesty! It's hard to say whether Jing Yan War God has deep feelings for Longyan Kingdom, but his relationship with King Ji Yun is obviously extraordinary. Jing Yan War God and King Ji Yun live in the same building. The charm of King Ji Yun
, it is indeed very huge." Minister Shengxing said.
"Yes!" Emperor Biwei nodded and said, "Minister Shengxing, please call the Dukes and other ministers here. I have something to discuss with them."
"Yes!" Minister Shengxing responded.
Soon after, the noble ministers from the Lingao Empire and the Fachen Empire came to the presence of Emperor Biwei.
"Everyone! I invite you here because I want to hear what you think of Jing Yan, God of War." Emperor Bi Wei looked around at everyone and said with a smile.
"Longyan Guo Jingyan God of War?"
"Your Majesty, the performance of Jing Yan God of War in this year's God of War Ranking is really incredible. It is really puzzling that an Immortal Emperor of his level has no reputation before the ranking of God of War."
"Yes! The War God Jingyan of Longyan Kingdom is actually stronger than the War God Ding Shuiyun of the Star Can Kingdom."
"How can a small country like Longyan have such a powerful God of War?"
Everyone spoke one after another!
"It seems that everyone recognizes the strength of Jing Yan, God of War." Emperor Bi Wei nodded.
"Your Majesty wants to recruit God of War Jingyan to join our Lingao Empire, right? An Immortal Emperor of the level of God of War Jingyan seems to be very young, so he is indeed worthy of our recruitment." A Duke said.
"Just now, I asked Minister Shengxing to discuss with Jing Yan, God of War, but God of War Jing Yan's attitude is very firm. He will not leave Longyan Kingdom." Emperor Biwei shook his head.
Upon hearing Emperor Bi Wei's words, everyone present looked at each other in shock.
"Your Majesty, since Jing Yan, God of War, refuses to join our Lingao Empire, you want us all to come over, right?" A Duke looked at Emperor Bi Wei with puzzled eyes.
If Jing Yan is willing to join the Lingao Empire, it is naturally a good thing. Even if the Lingao Empire has to pay some price, with Jing Yan's strength as the God of War, it can be said that it is worthy of the empire to win over him. But his attitude is very determined.
He said he would not leave the small country of Longyan, so what are we talking about here?
"Jing Yan, God of War, said he would not leave Longyan Kingdom, but this does not mean that our Lingao Empire cannot further win over him." Emperor Bi Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and said this.
"Oh?" The noble ministers all looked at Emperor Biwei.
"What does your Majesty mean?" a Duke asked tentatively.
"Perhaps, we can give Jing Yan, God of War, the status of an honorary grand duke of the empire." Emperor Biwei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
Honorary Grand Duke!
A country usually has many duke-level nobles. Generally speaking, the duke level is the highest-level noble title in the country. Above the duke, there are kings and emperors. Within the title of duke, there are also
There are two types: ordinary dukes and grand dukes. The number of grand dukes is very, very small, and this is the case in any country. Like Longyan country, there were two grand dukes before.
Even in an empire, the nobility titles of grand dukes are usually very few. The regular number of grand dukes in the Lingao Empire does not exceed five. But now, Emperor Bi Wei wants to give Jing Yan an honorary grand duke.
Title of Nobility. The honorary grand duke can enjoy the same treatment as the regular grand duke of the empire. The difference may be that the honorary grand duke does not interfere in various internal affairs of the empire, and may not have as much power as the regular grand duke.
obvious.
The empire's honorary grand dukes are generally awarded with great caution. In the history of the Lingao Empire, the number of honorary grand dukes awarded was only a few.
"Your Majesty, is this... too exaggerated? Although Jing Yan's God of War is strong, he can't reach this level, right? The honorary grand dukes conferred by our Lingao Empire are all Hunyuan Supreme Immortal Emperors!
Jing Yan, the God of War, has not yet received the title of Supreme Hunyuan." A minister frowned and said in a heavy voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty! The war god Jingyan of the Longyan Kingdom is not worthy of being treated like this by our Lingao Empire, right?" Another person said.
Everyone present felt that conferring Jing Yan the title of honorary Grand Duke of the Empire was too heavy.
