Yao Shouxin smiled faintly, "He will find out."

Hamuheng, fleeing for his life, quickly received news of the wanted warrant from his personal guards, and was immediately shocked.

"It's over!"

This was Hamuheng's first reaction.

Situ Quan was also taken aback, even wondering if he should escape.

But he didn't know if the wanted warrant mentioned him.

If his name was on it, even if he escaped, he wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in Great Wei.

At this moment, he saw his personal guard bring back a wanted warrant, and he quickly took it and read it carefully.

After reading it, Situ Quan felt relieved. He stepped forward and comforted the panicked Hamuheng, "General, don't worry. This wanted warrant is useless."

Hamuheng looked at Situ Quan in surprise. "Why?"

Situ Quan smiled and said, "Because this wanted warrant is empty and doesn't provide any specific description of the general. It's just some vague statements that many people could fit."

"As long as we don't reveal any flaws, no one will recognize the general."

"Is that so?"

Hamuheng was a little doubtful. After he took the wanted warrant and read it, he was overjoyed.

The situation was indeed as Situ Quan said. There was no specific description of him on the wanted warrant.

"Okay, you guys split up. The teacher and I will meet up in a city two hundred miles away!"

Under Hamuheng's arrangement, the group divided into several groups, trying to act like ordinary people and heading south.

Yao Shouxin, on the other hand, proceeded cautiously, step by step advancing the Great Wei army.

As for Hamuheng, he was only verbally denouncing and threatening on the wanted warrant, but he took no actual action.

The battle report was quickly sent to the capital via an urgent delivery of eight hundred li.

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction after reading it.

The reason he sent Yao Shouxin this time was to resolve Mengmu's problem once and for all.

After looking through past history, Jiang Chen found that Mengmu was a capricious villain, the kind who would submit for decades and then cause trouble.

The root cause wasn't the problem of the Mengmu people, but the excessive number of internal forces within Mengmu!

Because there were too many forces, the rulers of Mengmu were frequently replaced.

As a result, when they encountered peace-loving rulers, Mengmu and Great Wei, as well as the past dynasties, lived in peace.

But when they encountered ambitious rulers, Mengmu became a troublemaker.

Jiang Chen sent Yao Shouxin this time to completely end this situation within Mengmu!

Therefore, before his departure, Jiang Chen's advice to Yao Shouxin was to advance step by step, steadily and surely.

And the battle report sent back by Yao Shouxin was almost exactly the same as Jiang Chen had envisioned.

So, after reading it, Jiang Chen was completely relieved.

The matter of Mengmu could be brought to a close ahead of schedule.

Putting down Yao Shouxin's battle report, Jiang Chen casually picked up the memorials sent today and began to review them.

When he reached the memorial of Zhao Liting, the Minister of Rites, Jiang Chen frowned.

Zhao Liting's memorial didn't mention any major events, but only brought up one matter: conferring titles of kings.

In the past month or so, the other imperial concubines had successively given birth to imperial sons.

Excluding the empress's twins, the other fifteen concubines had given birth to a total of five imperial sons and ten imperial princesses.

Under Jiang Chen's careful arrangements, these fifteen imperial children had all survived healthily.

The conferring of titles of kings that Zhao Liting mentioned was to grant titles of kings to these five imperial sons.

After the rebellions of the former Tang King and other vassal kings were suppressed, these fiefdoms had been vacated.

Zhao Liting's intention was to have Jiang Chen confer the titles of kings on his five sons, and send them to their fiefdoms when they reached adulthood.

It must be said that Zhao Liting's intention was good.

The purpose was to avoid a situation where they would fight for the throne.

However, Jiang Chen did not agree with Zhao Liting's proposal.

Jiang Chen picked up his vermilion brush, intending to write his opinion on it.

But on second thought, Jiang Chen put the memorial aside and began to review the other memorials.

After submitting his memorial, Zhao Liting waited for Jiang Chen's response.

However, he waited from noon to night, and even the next morning court session did not bring Jiang Chen's response.

Zhao Liting understood that his memorial had been shelved by Jiang Chen.

After thinking about it, Zhao Liting took the initiative to visit Jiang Chen at the Hall of Diligent Governance.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," Zhao Liting said, bowing.

Jiang Chen nodded, waved for Zhao Liting to dispense with the formalities, and even had Feng Jin bring Zhao Liting a stool.

Zhao Liting was flattered, but he was also somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Chen's attitude towards him seemed to be quite good, which meant that he somewhat approved of the matter mentioned in his memorial.

Since he approved, why didn't His Majesty do it?

Thinking of this, Zhao Liting took the initiative to speak, "Your Majesty, this humble official believes that the matter of conferring titles of kings should be done sooner rather than later!"

Conferring the titles of kings early would also cut off the thoughts of those imperial sons, as well as the forces behind those imperial sons.

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand what you're thinking, Zhao Qing."

"However, I really think this matter needs to be considered further."

Consider?

Zhao Liting looked at Jiang Chen in confusion, "I wonder what Your Majesty is worried about?"

Could it be that he thought the fiefdoms of the Tang King and the others were unlucky?

Or was it that he was reluctant to send his children away so soon?

Zhao Liting guessed in his heart.

He only heard Jiang Chen say, "There is no problem with conferring titles of kings as Zhao Qing said, but the matter of the fiefdoms needs to be considered."

Zhao Liting suddenly understood. It seemed that he did indeed think that the territories of the Tang King and the others were unlucky.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Jiang Chen continue, "I think the matter of fiefdoms can be cancelled."

"What?!"

Zhao Liting looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, wondering if he had heard wrong.

Since ancient times, the emperor's sons would be granted fiefdoms and sent away.

Did His Majesty want to change this rule that had existed since ancient times?

"Your Majesty, this... this matter is of great importance, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Zhao Liting hesitated, not knowing what to say.

But Jiang Chen understood what Zhao Liting meant.

"You want to say that the people behind these imperial sons will not agree, right?"

Zhao Liting nodded lightly.

These imperial sons were Jiang Chen's sons, and they couldn't even speak yet, so they wouldn't have any objections to whatever Jiang Chen arranged for them.

But those imperial concubines, as well as the families behind the concubines, might not think so.

Once the imperial sons had fiefdoms, they would be able to obtain a lot of benefits from them, which was one of the reasons why they tried so hard to send their daughters into the palace.

They would not do anything without benefits!

Jiang Chen was well aware of this. Of course, his main purpose in cancelling the fiefdoms was not aimed at these people.

These people were affected only because they were inherently greedy!

After thinking about it, Jiang Chen said, "Let's discuss this in court."

When Zhao Liting heard this, he was even more surprised than before, and quickly said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be revealed in advance!"
