Li Chen signaled to Zhou Pingan, who turned around and saw a map. He immediately took it out and spread it out on the small coffee table used to place the chessboard between the two of them.
The small coffee table is not too big, but fortunately the map is not too big either. It is obviously specially made, and the carriage compartment is spacious enough, so even if the map is completely pushed inside the carriage, it does not seem crowded.
After opening the map, Zhou Ping'an was surprised to find that it turned out to be a schematic map of the fiefdoms of a total of eight vassal kings in the entire territory of the Qin Empire.
Among them, King Ning's name and fiefdom have been erased, and next to Jinling, another place has been added with the word Wu written on it.
Not only that, there were some notes densely written in the blank spaces next to each fief, and Zhou Ping'an could tell at a glance that it was Li Chen's own handwriting.
Obviously, this map was made before the war against Liao, and as the situation changed, Li Chen had been 'manually updating' it.
From this detail alone, we can find that regarding the issue of the vassal king, Li Chen had been thinking about how to reduce the vassal a long time ago, and this thinking has continued to this day without letting up.
Zhou Ping'an looked at the map for a long time and sighed: "His Royal Highness is from a royal family, and he is also the prince of the country. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is a sure thing to ascend the throne and become emperor. We just have to wait for the time to come. It can be said that he is the most powerful person in the world."
Although he has a distinguished status, His Highness's efforts are still a hundred times higher than those of ordinary people. I have looked at ancient and modern history books and seen many famous people who are deliberately diligent and teach the world not to slack off. But in general, after all, it is 80% showmanship and 20% nature.
In fact, the success of most successful people is not due to how much their own efforts exceed that of ordinary people, but because the advantages brought by their status are much greater than ordinary people. They may put in three points of effort, but it is not enough for them to work hard and grit their teeth for a lifetime.
Therefore, the successful speeches of those successful people are looked down upon by humble ministers.”
"Only Your Highness should be diligent, and there is no falsehood at all. After many days and nights of hard work, you can achieve your current achievements. In the future, Your Highness will become a wise king for generations. I will not find it strange at all."
After hearing this, the man who grinned as if his ladle cracked turned into Li Chen.
When these words were spoken by others, Li Chen didn't feel anything at all, because others were thinking about flattering him all day long, and Li Chen was tired of hearing them.
But Zhou Ping'an is different. This guy got his name on Li Chen because he doesn't like flattery. He also has a long history of being practical and unpleasant when speaking.
Such a person, now spouting such a series of high-level flattery, made Li Chen feel comfortable all over.
"I'm being serious, I'm not exaggerating. Even the Qiangu Mingjun has come out, hahaha."
Li Chen waved his hands with a polite look on his face, but the expression on his face clearly said 'if you can speak, just speak more, I'm waiting to hear'...
Unfortunately, Zhou Ping'an seemed to take it seriously.
He said seriously: "On this map, only the location of King Wen does not have many notes from His Highness. But because it is so important, dozens or hundreds of words of notes cannot be covered at all?"
Li Chen snorted, his eyes full of displeasure.
As expected, this guy still has the same smelly and stubborn temper, which is really annoying to His Highness the Crown Prince.
