But this was not the end.
In the final days of the year, a few guests from the southwest brought another New Year's gift.
Inside the South Pole Hall.
Lu Yuan, seated on the throne, looked at two men in foreign official attire who were bowing respectfully before him. After a long contemplation, he asked, "As far as I know, your Shizong and Milu kingdoms have long been subject states to Da Changhe Country, serving it for over a hundred years.
Your Yi countries, being generally lax, do not respect the rites and transformation of the monarchy.
Although we are all from Yangzhou, you have always had disputes with us, the people of East Yang.
Now, why have you decided to break away from Da Changhe Country and come seeking Great Chu, wanting to pledge allegiance?
Don't give me hollow phrases like longing to join a grand country, admiring the transformation by monarchy. Tell me the real reason.
