Growing Old Together, Is The Most Difficult Thing

Finally, the Gu Shu ruler's entourage reached the capital. Fan Tianli left the city one day earlier and entered the capital together with the entourage the next day, heading to the rest inn immediately.

Even though him coming to the capital in advance was not a secret anymore and he did show himself in front of others in the imperial palace, that was under his personal capacity and was not considered an official national visit. In addition, the Emperor was inflicted with Gu that time and was unable to receive and host them.

And this time, Da Shun had a regent prince. When Xuan Tianfeng received the news that Fan Tianli's entourage had checked into the rest inn, he immediately sent out an invite. During morning court the next day, Fan Tianli entered the imperial palace as Gu Shu's ruler, and in front of all the ministers, with his position as Gu Shu's current ruler, he paid his respects to the regent prince, declaring once again that Gu Shu was Da Shun's subordinate nation and also expressing his stance. During the period when he was ruler, Gu Shu would always be loyal to Da Shun.

There were people who whispered amongst themselves, saying that the Gu Shu ruler was only acting this humble because he wanted to marry Princess Wuyang. After all, the two were frequently seen together these days and everyone who made an effort to get information on the movements in the court and capital would know about this. With the existence of such a thought, the actions of the Gu Shu ruler lowering himself made others feel that it was not that sincere. No one could guarantee that once he married Princess Wuyang, he would not go back on his word.

Therefore, someone raised this doubt, Fan Tianli did not get angry, he only said with a troubled smile: "Gu Shu has witnessed the might of Da Shun's army before, has witnessed the heavenly thunder set up by Prince Yu, and have also lost many oases under the bombing of that heavenly thunder. Gu Shu is a small nation, but also has its own small paradise, we do not wish to lose this small paradise, so we surrendered to Da Shun. The previous Monarch had said this when he was still ruling, listening and believing the slanderous words of the ex-General Bi Xiu and opposing Da Shun was the biggest mistake he had made in his many years of ruling. This Monarch does not believe that we will be able to resist Da Shun's heavenly thunder after ascending the throne, therefore, Gu Shu submitting to Da Shun is the best choice."

His words were reasonable and was considered a very logical analysis, but in the court, there were still people who felt it was worded in a twisted way, so they spoke in a sarcastic tone: "What you mean is, if Da Shun did not have heavenly thunder, Gu Shu will not surrender?"

Fan Tianli asked in return: "If Da Shun was not this strong, then on what basis will they recover the four foreign nations?"

"You......"

"This Monarch is only explaining a fact, any strong nation will have other subordinate foreign countries, and those foreign nations chose to depend on that nation because their own power is weaker than the other party and need to depend on the protection of the other nation to maintain their own country's fortune to survive better in the future. Gu Shu was clearly frightened by Da Shun's attack and the damage sustained cannot be recovered within the next one hundred years. This Monarch is representing Gu Shu in showing a humble attitude towards Da Shun, this is an attitude which should be held by the ruler of a foreign nation and is also an educated move." He spoke very calmly, "Of course, if one day, Da Shun falls to the point that it is even weaker than Gu Shu, then Gu Shu will naturally not submit anymore. At that point, not just Gu Shu, other small nations will also choose to do this. Therefore, gentlemen, for the effort used to suspect if This Monarch is sincere, would it not be better to think properly about how to maintain and continue the development of Da Shun's fortune and might? Whether the small nations will rebel or not, it completely depends on whether Da Shun continues to grow stronger or not."
