Wang Daoxuan stroked his beard and said, "If the vassal states don't come, does the court not care?"
Luo Mingzi shook his head, "Given the current situation, how can we attend to other matters? Besides, our Great Xuan doesn't really value that."
Li Yan understood his meaning clearly.
The previous Great Xing Emperor was fond of grand displays, liking nothing more than the spectacle of tributes from all directions, often requiring tenfold or even dozens of times in return from the vassal states.
There's nothing wrong with having tributes from all directions, but the problem was that the previous Great Xing stood against the Golden Tent Wolf Country across the river, and over a century, with constant wars, the treasury was already empty, and most of the troops were stationed along the Yangtze River, losing control over the vassal states.
