In fact, Chen Xuance could see that this Duke Aqin was a man who looked strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside.
Faced with years of oppression and bullying by King Ali, he just endured it silently.
There was no sign of resistance.
If it weren't for my own persuasion, no one would choose self-governance.
The reason why he chose to resist was that he promised that the Wei Dynasty would send troops to help him with all its strength, and then he declared his independence from the rule of King Ali. But after saying this, there was not much action.
In Chen Xuance's opinion, such a person is absolutely not suitable to be a king, and even if he becomes one, it will be of no benefit to the country.
But if he is the monarch of a neighboring country, that would be the best, because he is timid and dare not cause trouble.
Especially when the other party is strong, I am afraid no one would dare to have any ambitions.
Therefore, he chose to support this person and make him the monarch of Tiandu.
Chen Xuance also lobbied the various tribes in the north of Tiandu, asking these tribe leaders to respond with support. During this period, he almost assured everyone that the Great Wei would provide support.
He also used the names of Song Gongwen and Zhang Zhengming, and finally succeeded.
Of course, this is just preliminary.
In his next plan, Chen Xuance wanted to sow discord between King Ali, Duke Aqin, and these northern clans, so that the entire Tiandu would be plunged into a power struggle.
But to his disappointment, the people he cooperated with were too cautious and timid, and so far they have done nothing except claiming autonomy.
Therefore, Chen Xuance completely understood that it would be a very difficult task to get Duke Aqin and those northern clans to truly rebel against King Ali. At least, it was not something that could be persuaded by words alone.
But just the day before, he received a handwritten letter from Song Gongwen, and his confidence increased greatly.
Now, facing the questioning of the clan leader, he was not at all panicked.
At this moment, Chen Xuance withdrew his gaze, stood up, and looked at everyone present. He said, "I have said that my Great Wei will help you break free from King Ali's rule and free you from oppression and fear. This promise will definitely be fulfilled. However, everyone, you must also show some support. Now, news has spread from the capital that they are gathering a large army to conquer Luota City. We cannot sit idly by and wait for death."
"With your power, I don't think it will be a problem to gather hundreds of thousands of troops. I had a conversation with Duke Aqin yesterday. As long as you take action, Duke Aqin will also take action to fight against the capital's army."
This made the person who had just spoken sneer. He said, "If Duke Aqin takes action, we will naturally support him. However, our strength is still not enough to fight against King Ali's capital army. Special Envoy Chen, you haven't answered my question directly yet."
The patriarchs of other major clans did not speak, but their meaning was already quite clear.
I hope there will be an explanation.
Even Duke Aqin cast his eyes over at this time.
He was the first to rebel against King Ali. If he failed this time, the punishment he would receive would surely be even more severe. Perhaps even the entire lineage of King Aqin would suffer a catastrophic disaster.
Therefore, they only declared autonomy and did not choose to completely confront the capital, just to leave room for maneuver.
If we follow what we just said and really send troops, it will be irreversible.
So he chose to remain silent.
Chen Xuance had naturally anticipated all of this.
The nobles of the big families in Tiandu did harbor resentment towards King Ali, but they did not dare to resist. The reason they chose to listen to me was because they thought they would have the support of the Great Wei.
With the troops of Wei and the strength of these people, it would not be difficult to overthrow King Ali.
But if the Wei Dynasty does not take action, there will be no action.
To put it bluntly.
These are a group of people who have the desire to steal but not the courage to do so.
Shaking his head, Chen Xuance offered no explanation. He simply pulled out a handwritten letter from Song Gongwen and said, "Just yesterday, I received a letter from Lord Song. Lord Song, as I'm sure you all know, is the father-in-law of the current emperor, the father of Marquis Guanjun. He holds a pivotal position in the Great Wei. He wrote this letter to let me tell you all."
"In the near future, Lord Wusiduhu Yue will gather a large army on the border, preparing to intervene in the civil unrest in Tiandu under the pretext of suppressing the rebellion of King Ali. However, if there is no civil unrest in Tiandu, I am afraid that my Great Wei will be unable to take action."
Immediately, Chen Xuance told Song Gongwen everything he had written in the letter.
Everyone present understood it completely.
The Great Wei wanted to send troops to help King Ali quell the rebellion, so that it could justify itself in name only.
But for them, these are not important. What is important is that the Wei Dynasty is really going to send troops.
Wusiduhu Yue Ziyi was well known to Duke Aqin and the great families present. This was because the northern part of Tiandu was separated from the Wusi region of Dawei by a snow-capped mountain.
Although he had only been in office for three years, he was extremely powerful both in local governance and in military affairs.
At the beginning, King Ali wanted to take back the disputed land and secretly sent thousands of troops.
But overnight, they were wiped out by Yue Ziyi.
That's why.
This was an important reason why King Ali had not launched a formal attack on the border of Wei during these years.
That Protector of Us was really powerful. In just these three years, even some people in Tiandu had heard of him.
Now, Duke Aqin and the patriarchs of those big families all had their eyes brightened.
They had the courage to resist King Ali.
I heard Chen Xuance say that the Wei Dynasty would provide assistance.
It should be noted that the current Wei Dynasty is still the strongest in the East, especially in the military aspect. Even the grassland tribes are helpless. If they can send troops to deal with King Ali's capital army, their chances of winning will be much greater.
