Jia Zhengjin can actually see that this is the way in which the Bolivian ministers want to establish a greater connection with the Holy Dragon City! If the new Grand Duke is personally selected, it means that this regime is linked to him!

If the Holy Dragon City defeats the Imperial Alliance, then they will be able to gain greater benefits and national space; if the Holy Dragon City is defeated by the Imperial Alliance, they will also be able to use this chosen child to take the blame, just say that all this is coerced by the Holy Dragon City, and they have to do it as a last resort! At most, this new Grand Duke will be replaced, and they will still be able to retain power!

Although he knew the dirty thoughts in their hearts, Jia Zhengjin did not say anything. After all, this is human nature! If there are not enough interests, these ministers of civil and military affairs and members of the aristocracy will be so unanimous in their choice of people?

Since this is the case, he is no longer polite, and immediately nodded and asked, "Do you really want me to choose?"

"Please decide, Lord Kean!" replied again.

"That's good," Jia Zhengjin immediately stretched out his hand to Falei, "that's him! This kid is the most clever, I think he can!"

Seeing Jia Zhengjin pointing at Baron Farley, Lewis looked back at her grandfather.

General Mark nodded slightly, signaling that this would be done.

Lewis immediately said: "Congratulations, Baron Farley, Lord Keane has chosen you, and from today you will be the true heir to the next Grand Duke of Hales! The enthronement ceremony will be held in a week's time, please stay here and listen to Lord Keane's teachings." I'm sorry for the rest of you, even though you weren't chosen by Lord Keane, please work hard and continue to contribute to the future of the Duchy of Hales! Then please let the Marquis of Chico, Viscount Dakai, Viscount Eloy, and Baron Forin leave with me, and I will send someone to take you home!"

"Brother!" the other children didn't react, and immediately followed Lewis. Baron Forint, however, looked at Baron Farley worriedly.

"Brother, you go home first," Baron Farley was not nervous at all, "I'll be back later!"

"Baron Forlin, please!" Lewis urged.

Although he was not worried about his younger brother, Baron Forint remembered what his father told him before he came out, and now the Principality of Hales is General Mark who has the final say, and he must be obedient when he comes over this time, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. So after a worried look, he could only follow Lewis and leave first.

"Thank you, Lord Keane, for electing a new Grand Duke for us!" said General Mark as soon as his granddaughter left with the other children.

"Thank you, Lord Keane!!" all the civil and military ministers and members of the nobility stood up. Only the three generals of Zhuoma and the elven clan were particularly abrupt.

Jia Zhengjin nodded and did not speak.

"Mark meets the Grand Duke of Farley!" General Mark then knelt down towards the 8-year-old Baron Farley.

"Meet the Grand Duke of Falei!!" the civil and military ministers immediately knelt down in unison.

Baron Farley turned his head to look at Jia Zhengjin, as if to ask for his opinion.

Jia Zhengjin remembered that most of the children in the Holy Dragon City who were the same age as him or even much older than him were very playful and very few sensible. Thinking of this, he immediately nodded to him.

After Falei received Jia Zhengjin's affirmation, he turned around and calmly accepted the kneeling of the civil and military ministers, and said crisply: "Get up!"

"Grand Duke Shefare!" General Mark is basically the head of all the civil and military ministers here, and everyone is controlled by him alone. He thanked him and got up, and everyone else did the same.

"Alright!" Jia Zhengjin said, "Now that the new Grand Duke has been decided, there is nothing else to do, right?"

"Lord Keane!," said General Mark hurriedly, "can we talk in detail about what you discussed with Lewis?"

"I discussed it with Lewis?" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, "You mean the construction of city defenses and bombs and mines?"

"Exactly!" General Mark nodded hurriedly, "Now that the Principality of Hales is in turmoil, and there are foreign enemies that may invade at any time, we must have sufficient defense capabilities!

Jia Zhengjin glanced at Falei, and said in his heart, no matter how clever this child is, he is only an 8-year-old child, but in fact he is just a puppet in your hands! Why do you want me to talk to him about this? I can't talk to him at all, and in the end it is you who make the decision? Then why don't you just talk to me about it?

I think so, but of course I don't say it: "Is this appropriate?"

"Grand Duke Farley, why don't you sit here!" General Mark stood up and gave up his place, "Sit next to Lord Keane, and you two can discuss this important matter!"

"General Mark," Farley was ripe enough, "you may be seated!"

"Grand Duke ...... Farley" Mark was actually a little surprised by Farley's refusal.

After refusing to give up General Mark's seat, Farley turned his head to look at Jia Zhengjin and said respectfully, "Lord Keane, may I sit with you?"

Hearing this, not only General Mark, but also all the civil and military ministers below and even the members of the aristocracy, their faces changed drastically. You can't wait to say that the throne will be yours sooner or later, aren't you? Are you really a kid who doesn't know anything? Do you know who he is sitting with Master Keane? Do you know what he has to do with the dragons? It's rude! If you make Lord Keane angry, can the entire Duchy of Hales afford it?

Jia Zhengjin didn't know what these people thought, otherwise he would definitely say "I think too much!"

He is not such an easy person to get angry with, especially for a child who is only 8 years old, and he is not very careful. So in the panicked expressions of the civil and military ministers at the scene, they nodded indifferently and moved to the side: "Sit down!"

"Lord Sheikie!" a flash of joy flashed in Farley's eyes, he was much more mature than children of his age. He immediately walked over and sat down in the place that Jia Zhengjin had given up.

The throne was already so big that two adults could sit down, and Farley was only an 8-year-old child, so it wasn't crowded at all, but it felt empty.

Seeing that Jia Zhengjin was not angry, General Mark and the civil and military ministers breathed a sigh of relief, just now their hearts were hanging in their throats, and they were thinking about whether they had just decided on the candidate for the new Grand Duke, and they were about to be replaced!

"Okay!" Jia Zhengjin waited for Falei to sit down, then turned his head and smiled at him, and then looked at the civil and military ministers, "Then let's talk about the construction of city defense and bomb mines!"
