Those eleven old men were the elders of the Heavenly Fire Empire's Noble Senate Council.

In the Tianhuo Empire, the noble senate is actually also known as the royal senate, because the members of the noble senate must be members of the royal family, whether it is a side branch or a descendant, they must have the blood of the royal family.

There are a total of twelve elders in the noble senators, in addition to the eleven eleven elders, the other one is Prince Shuiyan.

The nobles present, seeing the Emperor of Heavenly Fire and Prince Shui Yan, as well as those elders, hurriedly saluted and greeted each other after they came in.

These nobles, in addition to those top magnates, other big nobles, may not be afraid of the imperial emperor, but they dare not offend the patriarchs of the imperial senators, if they accidentally offend all the patriarchs, it will be a good game to watch, the patriarchs of the imperial senators, united, that is even the emperor can be dismissed, let alone remove a nobleman.

The Heavenly Fire Emperor, Prince Shui Yan, and the eleven elders nodded slightly to everyone, and then walked to the high platform of the Hall of Honor.

The Heavenly Fire Emperor stood at the front, and Prince Shui Yan and the other elders stood on both sides of the Heavenly Fire Emperor according to their ranking in the Council of Elders.

After standing on the stage and glancing around, the Heavenly Fire Emperor glanced at everyone, and found that Wei Long was holding a person in his hand, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he immediately returned to normal, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, today is a sacred day, today, our Heavenly Fire Empire, there will be one more noble nobleman, this member who is about to join the noble ranks of our nobles, is for the great gentleman......"

No matter which empire bestows the title of nobleman, it will publicize the other party's great achievements, although Zhang Chenfeng has no great achievements, the Tianhuo Emperor is not good at publicizing this aspect, so he has to publicize Zhang Chenfeng's character, in the words of the Tianhuo Emperor, Zhang Chenfeng is simply a saint-like existence, benevolent, kind, full of light and justice, and has a noble character......

After saying this, Zhang Chenfeng, the party concerned, blushed a little, and Lin Haoxuan and Wei Long, who were beside Zhang Chenfeng, laughed even more in their hearts, benevolent, kind, which of these things can be related to Zhang Chenfeng?

After the Heavenly Fire Emperor said for nearly half an hour, he finally stopped and said, "Now I invite the City Lord of Qinglei City Zhang Chenfeng to step forward!"

Zhang Chenfeng heard that the Tianhuo Emperor finally stopped 'boasting' himself, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, the words of the Tianhuo Emperor just now really made him a little numb, if it weren't for the fact that this was a necessary step for the knighthood, and he needed a clear eye, and occupied Qinglei City forever, Zhang Chenfeng was afraid that he would not be able to stand it for a long time and leave directly.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Chenfeng walked under the steps in front of the high platform, and bowed to the Heavenly Fire Emperor and the elders in the ring.

It stands to reason that those who have been given official positions have to bow down when they accept the official position again, but what is Zhang Chenfeng's identity, it is the junior disciples of the two martial arts, not to mention that Zhang Chenfeng will not kneel to them, even if Zhang Chenfeng is willing to kneel, whether it is the Emperor of Tianhuo, or the Prince of Shui Yan and other elders, where do you dare to accept it?

Therefore, no one raised any objections to Zhang Chenfeng just bowing down, whether it was the Emperor of Tianhuo, Prince Shui Yan and other elders, the nobles in the audience, and even the most old-fashioned and the most rigid nobles.

After the Heavenly Fire Emperor looked at Zhang Chenfeng and saluted, from the hand of the attendant on the side, he turned out an extremely gorgeous scroll and opened it and said: "With the unanimous consent of the Imperial Patriarchate, the official title of hereditary duke of the Zhang Chenfeng Empire will be awarded, Yongzhen Qinglei City!"

As soon as the words of the Heavenly Fire Emperor fell, Zhang Chenfeng was stunned, and the other nobles were all dumbfounded.

Zhang Chenfeng even wondered if he had heard it wrong, this hereditary duke was the top official position in the Tianhuo Empire, and he didn't give it to him easily, so why did he give it to himself today?

The others present were also extremely shocked, they knew that the imperial family would definitely grant Zhang Chenfeng a high-ranking official position this time, at least an earl, and possibly a duke, but they didn't expect it to be a hereditary duke.

How many hereditary dukes have there been in the entire Heavenly Fire Empire for thousands of years?

In total, there are only thirteen of them, and only eight of them have been handed down to the present.

Indeed, Zhang Chenfeng's identity is special, he is the hall master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and he is the junior brother of the two martial honors, but he doesn't need to be crowned a hereditary duke, right?

The Heavenly Fire Emperor looked at everyone in the audience, including Zhang Chenfeng's shocked appearance, and smiled slightly in his heart.

Originally, the Tianhuo Emperor just wanted to give Zhang Chenfeng a nobleman, but after knowing that Zhang Chenfeng had a super strength that was comparable to the mainland's divine doctor list, he immediately changed his mind.

At that time, when the Heavenly Fire Emperor proposed it at the senate meeting, these elders all fiercely opposed it.

Because the privileges of the hereditary duke are not at all comparable to ordinary nobles, not only can they have a permanent fief, but they can also have a huge private army, not to mention, they also have the qualifications to supervise the senators, and every time there is an additional hereditary duke, the rights of these senators will be restricted.

The Heavenly Fire Emperor negotiated the conditions with them one by one for several days, but he didn't negotiate until Zhang Chenfeng competed with the Medical Dao Alliance and won the entire Medical Dao Alliance with the strength of one person, and those elders agreed to it.

While smiling in his heart, the Heavenly Fire Emperor took a crystal scepter from the hand of the attendant on the side.

This crystal scepter is the symbol of the hereditary duke!

In the Shenwu Continent, no matter which empire, only hereditary dukes, princes, and emperors have the qualifications to master the scepter!

After the Heavenly Fire Emperor took the scepter, he walked down from the high platform and came to Zhang Chenfeng, holding the seal scroll in one hand, and holding the scepter in the other hand and placing it horizontally in front of Zhang Chenfeng and said: "Your Excellency Zhang Chenfeng, what is in front of you is not power, but the pride of the nobles, the honor of the nobles, from the moment you accept it, you will become a noble nobleman......"

After the Tianhuo Emperor said a long list, the etiquette that the nobles need to abide by, and the things that the nobles need to do, after Zhang Chenfeng bowed and saluted, he handed over the scepter and scroll to Zhang Chenfeng's hands, and from this moment on, Zhang Chenfeng was the ninth hereditary duke of the Tianhuo Empire, and became the top magnate of the Tianhuo Empire.

After the Heavenly Fire Emperor handed over the scepter and scroll to Zhang Chenfeng, his heart was full of anticipation and said: "Zhang Chenfeng, Zhang Chenfeng, in order to win you over, I have put in the biggest capital, I hope you don't let me down!"

The nobles of the Hall of Honor, after seeing Zhang Chenfeng take over the scepter and become the ninth hereditary duke of the empire, except for the eldest prince and some nobles of his faction, the rest of the nobles all cheered one by one.

Of course, the cheering nobles were just cheering because of the etiquette and Zhang Chenfeng's backstage, and most of the nobles were full of jealousy!
