Evan Zhao and his five companions entered the Xuanshi Hall. Liu Che was sitting in front of a screen. The short table and memorials had been moved away, and a scroll of silk map was spread on the ground. A closer look revealed that this map was a copy of Evan Zhao's previous drawing, taking the most detailed part and supplementing it with the palace collection.
Officials who drew pictures abandoned "abstract" art and learned to use scale. With the tools made by the Mohists, it was no problem to further improve the accuracy.
Prime Minister Wei Wan, General Dou Ying, Imperial Censor Zhi Buyi, and Grand Chancellor Marcus Sergeant Hui sat on both sides of the emperor, their eyes fixed on the painting, all concentrating and holding their breath. Even when they heard the noise, their attention was not diverted at all.
"May your majesty live forever and enjoy eternal happiness."
The five men held equal official positions, but Cao was a marquis at the time, so when they entered the Xuanshi Hall to perform the ceremony, he was the leader.
