Although Chen Xuance was walking behind.
But he had a very pleasant conversation with the Sixth Duke of Aqin in front of him.
Both of them had smiles on their faces, especially Duke Aqin, who had a hint of admiration in his eyes.
It was obvious that he valued this envoy from Wei very much, otherwise he would not have shown such an expression.
Of course, although many people present could see that Chen Xuance was from Wei, in fact, not many people knew his identity. Apart from Duke Aqin, only a few patriarchs of major clans knew about it.
Because in Tiandu, Chen Xuance wanted to hide his identity.
After all, when he first arrived here, the first person he met was the monarch King Ali.
However, due to the relationship between Wei and Tiandu Kingdom, and King Ali's desire to humiliate Wei, Chen Xuance was driven out of Tiandu King City that day.
All this seemed to be within his expectations, so he concealed his identity and came to Rota City.
Although there was some tension between Dawei and Tiandu, it seemed that a war was about to break out at any moment.
But there are still many business exchanges between the two sides.
Therefore, Chen Xuance did not attract much attention in Rota City.
Outsiders only know that Duke Aqin recently made a good friend from the Great Wei, and they talked with each other day and night. Apart from that, no one knows anything else.
Now that Chen Xuance appeared at the banquet, the guests present did not find it strange.
Of course, another point is that Duke Aqin some time ago.
They had already announced that they would govern themselves and break away from the rule of King Ali.
Even if some people think it’s not good.
But he wouldn't care.
After Duke Aqin and Chen Xuance arrived, the banquet officially began.
Everyone present was drinking and chatting happily, and the big families were discussing business, it looked very lively.
During this period, Chen Xuance received a lot of attention, with people constantly toasting him. Toasting was a common practice in the Wei Dynasty, but it was different in Tiandu, where there was no such custom.
But now, many nobles from big families came forward to toast according to the custom of the Wei Dynasty.
It is easy to imagine that Chen Xuance is a distinguished guest in their eyes.
This has left many people who don't know his identity confused.
Even if he is from Wei, even if he is a good friend of Duke Aqin, he shouldn't be like this, right?
After a long time, several hours later, the banquet ended.
After some guests had eaten and drunk their fill, they immediately stood up and said goodbye, leaving the Duke's Mansion.
However, if someone paid close attention, they would have discovered that the patriarchs of some of the big clans had no intention of leaving. They were still talking with Duke Aqin and seemed to have a lot more to say.
Many guests are used to this kind of thing. They are all upper-class people in Tiandu, so they can't do anything about it.
In this way, time passed bit by bit until night fell.
The patriarchs of those big clans still did not leave.
However, they did not stay where they were. They all left the outer hall and came to the inner hall.
In the inner hall, Duke Aqin sat in the first seat, his smile faded and his expression serious.
The other clan leaders were all the same, serious and stern.
As for Chen Xuance, he sat in the second seat.
He looked relaxed, as if everything was under control.
"Special Envoy Chen." At this time, the head of a large clan spoke first, breaking the silence. He stood up and looked at Chen Xuance. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "We have already supported the Duke's autonomy as you said. Now we have completely offended King Aqin. It can be said that our lives and property are at risk because of your words, but until now, your country has not made any response."
Although Tiandu has its own language, these are all nobles and can speak the Dawei language quite well.
When the patriarchs of other major clans heard this, they also stole glances over at this moment, and their meaning was quite obvious: they hoped to get an explanation.
This is different from the system of the Wei Dynasty, where the imperial court ruled the entire country.
Then, local government offices governed under the orders of the imperial court and the emperor. In short, it was centralization.
As for Tiandu, the local areas are ruled by nobles or large families. Although they are nominally under the rule of the Tiandu monarch and must obey his orders, most of the time they have great autonomy.
Simply put, the Great Wei was a centralized power, while the Tiandu was a power structure ruled by the nobility and clans, plus a monarch.
Somewhat similar to feudal fiefdom.
Before this, these northern clans had all begun to support Duke Aqin.
Choosing to oppose King Ali is actually an act of insubordination, even in the eyes of heaven.
After all, Tiandu now has an increasingly stronger control over local areas and clans. If he finds that his subordinates have ulterior motives, he will choose to send troops and force them to either surrender or be wiped out.
Now, they chose to support Duke Aqin, which meant they were on the opposite side of King Ali.
The capital city has recently reacted violently, sending messages continuously to warn these clans to submit to King Ali once again, otherwise they will send troops.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the clan leaders of the big clans all look extremely relaxed during the day, as that is just for show to outsiders.
Now that there are no outsiders around, his true feelings are revealed.
And the so-called expression.
Naturally, we need the support of Wei.
Hearing this, Chen Xuance smiled, but did not speak immediately. He turned to look at Duke Aqin.
Although his talent is not amazing, he is good at making friends. For example, the current master of the Aqin King lineage is Chen Xuance, who spent three days to become friends with him.
As for the purpose, of course it is to let the other party replace King Ali and become the new monarch of Tiandu Kingdom.
