Chapter 392 Daochen
Fuyu Fuxin asked his men to wait for him outside, and he went in alone with the little nun to see the monk Daochen.
When they arrived outside Daochen's room, the little nun knocked on the door a few times and shouted through the door: "Master, Fuyu donor is here!"
"Please come in!" Daochen's voice came from inside.
The little nun then opened the door and invited Fuyu Fuxin in. Fuyu Fuxin walked in and sat cross-legged on the cushion opposite Daochen.
The little nun brought tea to the two of them, then walked out, closing the door behind her, leaving the two of them alone to chat inside.
"This place is simple and shabby. It is a sin to ask you to condescend to visit my humble home! There is nothing good here to entertain you. I only have a cup of tea. I hope you will not refuse it!" Dao Chen said with a smile, and stretched out his hand to signal Fu Yu Fu Xin to drink tea. "
Master Dao Chen, you are joking! Don't be embarrassed. I usually eat too much meat and wine, and I am tired of it. It is just right for me to have a cup of tea to wash away the grease." Fu Yu Fu Xin said with a smile.
The two of them talked nonsense about all sorts of things. Fu Yu Fu Xin did not directly explain his purpose, just waiting for Dao Chen to ask him, so that he could control the rhythm and seize the initiative.
Obviously, Dao Chen was not a pushover either. He knew all about Buyeo Fuxin's intentions. Buyeo Fuxin started talking nonsense after he came in, and he followed suit, telling many of his experiences in various places, and popularized some Buddhist knowledge to Buyeo Fuxin.
In terms of patience, Dao Chen was obviously much better than Buyeo Fuxin, and it didn't matter even if he talked nonsense until dawn.
But Buyeo Fuxin couldn't do that. He came here to ask Dao Chen to come out, hoping to use his prestige to help him ascend the throne and gather more people's hearts, instead of listening to Dao Chen's nonsense about his experiences and salvation of the world.
"Master, I came here this time because I need help with something important." Buyeo Fuxin said.
"I don't know if Chen can help you with anything, just tell me." Dao Chen said.
"Since the Tang army came to Baekje, the people of Baekje have been living in dire straits, and countless people have fallen into the sea of suffering. I beg the master to come out of seclusion and help me to save all living beings." Fuyu Fuxin
said with great righteousness. "It is my duty as a monk to save all living beings and save them from the sea of suffering. I will do it without hesitation. I just don't know what you want me to do?" Daochen asked.
"I hope the master can rebuild the paradise of Baekje with me. I want to recover Baekje and let the people of Baekje no longer suffer." Fuyu Fuxin said.
"Oh! What are you going to do?" Daochen asked.
"Master, you have traveled all over the world, so you must have a wide network of contacts. I think you can support me to become the king of Baekje. When I restore my country in the future, I will respect you as the national teacher of Baekje, and Buddhism will become the
state religion of Baekje." Buyeo Bok-sin said. He directly offered generous conditions. He didn't think Daochen would refuse. The position of national teacher is second only to the emperor, and Buddhism will become the state religion of Baekje.
If this can't impress Daochen, what else can impress Daochen? Then all his previous efforts will be in vain.
"I am very happy to build the paradise of Baekje with you, but the king's order is not in your hands." Daochen said. Although he didn't directly reject Buyeo Bok-sin, he hinted that he was not suitable to be the king of Baekje.
According to seniority, it is not Buyeo Bok-sin's turn to be the king.
"Master, how can you say that I don't have the king's mandate? Now in Baekje, besides me, Buyeo Bok-sin, who else is more suitable to be the king of Baekje?" Buyeo Bok-sin gritted his teeth. In
Baekje now, there is no one else except him as the royal family of Baekje. Who else can the throne of Baekje belong to if not him?
Dao Chen sneered at Buyeo Bok-sin, who was a little crazy. When Buyeo Tae wanted to become the new king of Baekje, no one was willing to play with him.
Buyeo Tae is more prestigious than Buyeo Bok-sin. Even Buyeo Tae failed in his attempt to establish himself, let alone Buyeo Bok-sin.
In the final analysis, the legitimate lineage of the Baekje kings is still there, and the people of Baekje still only recognize the lineage of Buyeo Yiji.
How can a side branch like Buyeo Bok-sin be compared with the legitimate lineage? If you want to restore the Baekje Kingdom, you must push someone from Buyeo Yiji's line to inherit the throne, and the people of Baekje will be convinced and support him.
Even if Buyeo Bok-sin ascends the throne now, once Buyeo Long or Buyeo Yiji returns, they only need to raise their arms and the people of Baekje will follow them.
Buyeo Yiji and his son have already won the hearts of the people of Baekje, which is not something Buyeo Bok-sin can compare to.
In addition to the legitimate successor, Baekje needs a strong foreign aid to restore the country, so that they will have a chance of winning.
"The king's will is on the other side of the sea, where the sun rises." Dao Chen said.
"Are you talking about Buyeo Feng? Why? He can become the king of Baekje, but I can't?" Buyeo Bok Shin was unwilling to accept it. "
Buyeo Yici and his son are more popular than you. Now the king and the crown prince are still alive, but you want to be the king of Baekje. How many people are willing to follow you? You will fail in the end."
"Although I, Dao Chen, hate the people of the Tang Dynasty, if you ask me to help you seize the throne of Baekje, please forgive me for not complying with your order!"
"With our little strength alone, we are not enough to fight against the Tang Dynasty's troops. Only by uniting with the powerful Japan can we have a chance of winning." Dao Chen said without question.
Compared to a small country like Baekje, Japan is indeed powerful, but in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, Japan is just a fat ant, not worth mentioning at all.
Buyeo Bok-sin wants to become the king of Baekje. Not to mention how many people in Baekje are willing to support him, Japan, which is far away overseas, will not agree to him becoming the king of Baekje.
At that time, Japan will definitely escort Baekje Prince Buyeo Feng back to the country to succeed to the throne, and Japan will take the opportunity to control Baekje.
"I understand what you mean! Please come out and assist the new king to create the paradise of Baekje." Buyeo finally figured it out.
Even if Buyeo Feng comes back to inherit the throne, what can he do? He is just a puppet. The power of Baekje is still in his hands. He doesn't need to be afraid of anything.
Buyeo Feng was just a banner for his restoration of the country, a banner for calling on the people of Baekje to resist the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and a banner for contacting Dongying.
When Baekje truly restored the country, he would naturally let Buyeo Feng suddenly die, and then give the throne to him.
"We want to welcome the prince back to the country in Dongying. No matter what, we must have our own base camp so that we can compete with the Tang Dynasty people." Buyeo Fuxin said.
The first thing they have to do now is to gather people and occupy a place as their base camp and logistics for the restoration of the country.
Otherwise, even if Buyeo Feng is invited back, it will be useless, and Baekje will still be an occupied area.
