Now that His Majesty has issued this decree, what will the lineage of King Aqin and those big clans think?
He felt that the Wei Dynasty was not helping him at all, but was helping King Ali.
In this way.
The situation in Tiandu will definitely undergo tremendous changes.
Even Chen Xuance's painstaking efforts over this period of time might be in vain, so Song Gongwen couldn't understand why.
"So, Gongwen, you need to learn more from His Majesty on this point." At this moment, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Zhengming's face. He looked at the other party and said, "The civil unrest in Tiandu is not only known to my Great Wei, but also to the surrounding countries."
"You must know that although the Great Wei is not the absolute overlord of the Eastern Continent, it is almost the same. The surrounding countries and the five tribes are intimidating the majesty of the Great Wei. They are in fear every day, fearing that the Great Wei will invade on a large scale."
"If, at this moment, His Majesty issued an imperial decree to aid the resistance forces of Tiandu Kingdom against King Ali, what do you think would happen?"
"This is equivalent to our Great Wei taking advantage of the civil unrest in Tiandu to overthrow the Tiandu regime. This will definitely make the surrounding countries extremely nervous, and they may even unite to target our Great Wei. At that time, our Great Wei will inevitably be under tremendous pressure!"
At this point, Zhang Zhengming continued, "But what if Your Majesty's decree was to help King Ali and quell the civil unrest? Then the effect would be different. And look at the memorial Your Majesty approved to Yue Ziyi. What did it say in name?"
"It is said that Tiandu and our Great Wei have been friends for generations. Now that Tiandu is in civil strife, as an ally, we must send troops to help."
"But King Ali, do you dare to promise my Great Wei army to enter the Tiandu Kingdom? Of course not."
"Because this is too risky for him and he can't afford it."
"King Ali had to deal with domestic resistance forces while also distracting himself from defending against the Wei. He was undoubtedly overwhelmed and ultimately failed. However, the Wei played a role in helping King Ali quell the rebellion, but King Ali refused to accept it. In the end, he failed and died. Can the Wei be blamed? No!"
"So what do you call this? This is called having a legitimate reason!"
This speech.
This made Song Gongwen, who was standing next to him, completely understand.
Because at this moment, he already knew the meaning of this memorial and that imperial edict.
Although His Majesty said that due to diplomatic relations, the Great Wei would help King Ali to quell the civil unrest, this was just a nice thing to say. In short, it was just a pretense to the neighboring countries to dispel their doubts and concerns.
What is the reality?
Your Majesty still wants to deal with King Ali and overthrow the regime.
The reason for assembling a large army is to intimidate Tiandu and give confidence to King Aqin's lineage and those big clans.
Even if the Wei army did not start a war but was stationed at the border, it would still make the Eastern countries tremble with fear.
Although Tiandu was defeated, King Ali had no energy to spare to deal with those people in the country.
So there will definitely be fear.
As for King Ali
In this way.
I'm afraid that there's no need to start a war to help, and the King of Tiandu can be replaced.
The most important point is that there is nothing wrong with this move. Not only is it justified, but it also seems to be benevolent and righteous. It is no wonder that King Ali did not accept it, and it is no wonder that the Wei Dynasty did not accept it.
In this way, even the surrounding countries would not be able to find any handle on King Ali, and might even secretly ridicule him for being unwilling to let go of his grudges, which eventually led to his death.
Everything is King Ali's own fault and has nothing to do with the Wei Dynasty!
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
After thinking all this through, Song Gongwen's eyes were filled with great excitement.
Just like Zhang Zhengming before, he also thought this move was brilliant.
But soon, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "I originally thought that Your Majesty's move was unwise, but now it seems that I was the unwise one. I only thought that this would not bring any benefits to the Great Wei, and my eyes were limited to the Great Wei."
"But His Majesty is different. His Majesty's eyes not only see the country, but also the entire Eastern Continent. This is our His Majesty!"
Zhang Zhengming, standing nearby, stroked his beard and smiled upon hearing this. He said, "So, being able to assist such an eternal sage monarch is a blessing for both you and me, our teacher and student."
"Look at your majesty's strategy for dealing with King Ali of Tiandu. It's an impeccable conspiracy! This is the true way of an emperor!"
Song Gongwen deeply agreed with these words.
If we say that Chen Xuance was sent as an envoy to the Kingdom of Tiandu to sow discord between King Ali and the major clans.
This is a kind of strategy of forming alliances and making coalitions. Although it looks powerful, once it is discovered, it will easily become the target of public criticism. It is a small trick.
But open conspiracy is different. It is based on existing conditions and does not affect or rely on others.
Take advantage of the situation and present it to the enemy openly and honestly.
The enemy was completely helpless and could only watch as the other party's plan came to fruition.
This is the great way, the kind that is open and impeccable, and is usually also called the way of the emperor.
Because the emperor never bothered to follow those conspiracies and rules, and simply used his own power to solve everything.
This was the case with the release of the Prince of Yan and the reform of the land tax, but both were aimed at the domestic situation. Now, asking the Protector of Wusi to mobilize a large army and assemble it on the border is like doing nothing.
But it can also influence the situation of Tiandu Kingdom and even the entire Eastern Continent.
In this case, how can it not be called the way of the emperor?
