His fingertips tapping on the Zhezi, the Emperor said, "Today, I have kept you all to discuss the granting of noble titles to Princes."

Hearing about the titles, Mr. Phang spoke up cautiously, as no one else had, not sure how many would be granted, "Emperor, do you have any titles in mind?"
Revealing a few titles would let them know whether all would be made Princes.
