To Pei Xuanjing himself, all his efforts, assisting the Founder of the Da Ye Dynasty, were meant to provoke the latter's ambition, to escalate the calamity enshrouding the dynasty, and to attract more of the Will of Heaven and Earth. This way, once the dynasty changed hands, the gains would be much greater.
Of course, this wasn't Pei Xuanjing forcing the other's hand; all these choices stemmed from the Founder's own decisions. Pei Xuanjing merely presented the opportunities; ultimately, how to choose was still within the rights of the Founder himself.
If the other could manage to cut his losses in time, then Pei Xuanjing would not force him towards a devastating, final confrontation. Whatever decision was made, it would stem from the other's true desires.
