The third year of Zhenghe, late May.
Chen Mo and his party arrived at the Great Wei Capital.
Chen Mo settled Si Song in the Prince Wei's Mansion where he had lived before he took the throne.
After returning to the palace, Chen Mo issued an imperial decree, conferring Nalan Yiren as Princess Consort Yu.
Just as the decree was promulgated, Geng Songfu came to see him.
Geng Songfu was dressed in a purple official robe, his hair grizzled. He cupped his hands to Chen Mo and presented a small booklet, saying respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is the draft drawn up by the Cabinet to divide Jin Xia into Eight States. Please look it over."
Chen Mo took it and skimmed through it. In internal administration, he was certainly no match for Geng Songfu, so he had no objections to the Cabinet's division of Jin Xia. He only pondered briefly and said, "Assign Haiyan Pass to Youzhou, and let Youzhou control the passes of Jin Xia."
"As you command." Geng Songfu noted it down.
