The people of Daqi and Beimo both do not wish for war.
Once war breaks out, they are the ones most affected by the chaos, forced to leave their homes and families torn apart.
With the people of Beimo and ministers loyal to King Beimo, Beimo Cheng King's trip to Daqi is unavoidable.
As long as Beimo Cheng King is in Daqi, there will be no war at the border.
And with Beimo Cheng King being sent away, it will be easier for King Beimo to reclaim power upon his return.
King Beimo and Marquis Dongxiang have somewhat similar personalities; once they make a promise, they will not break it.
This is also why Marquis Dongxiang repeatedly urged the Emperor to release King Beimo and chose to risk letting him go.
To someone who breaks promises, Marquis Dongxiang would not be so accommodating.
Imprisoning "King Beimo" at Duke Chong's Mansion is not just to provoke Duke Chong and make him uncomfortable.
