Sha Zha Xiangru was not the only discerning person in the hall. When Gu Shi Fuxin and Dao Chen were standing on both sides of Fuyu Fengzhang, there were far more people standing on Gu Shi Fuxin's side than Dao Chen, which made Gu Shi Fuxin smiled more and more proudly, as if he had already won the victory.
"Changzhi, let's stand over too!" Sha Zha Xiangru whispered: "It will be too late if we don't go over!"
"I don't want to go there!" Hei Te Changzhi stood still.
"Are you crazy?" Sha Zha Xiangru's eyes widened: "Guishi Fuxin is not very generous. The number of people on his side is at least three times that of Daochen's!"
"No, I'm not taking any side!"
"Aren't you taking either side?"
"Yes, you also said that we are no worse than others in terms of family history and achievements. Why should we rely on Ghost Chamber or Daochen?" Black Teeth Changzhi paused for a moment: "Besides, do you think His Highness Feng will be happy to see Ghost Chamber?" Does Fu Xin have such a strong power? Even if he is his brother-in-law!"
Sha Zha Xiangru was stunned. He looked at Fuyu Fengzhang who was sitting at the top, and then at the proud Ghost Room Fuxin on his right. He stopped and said, "Okay, this time I will listen to you." Yes!" The two people stood at the end of the hall. They belonged to neither Daochen nor Onimuro Fuxin, and they were particularly conspicuous.
"Everyone!" Onimuro Fuxin's rich voice sounded, and the hall immediately became quiet. Everyone's eyes were focused on this man. He had a proud smile on his face and pointed at Fuyu Fengzhang on the first seat. : "In August of this year, the people of Tang Dynasty united with Silla to destroy our capital and destroy our ancestral temple. All the sons of the previous kings were kidnapped. Fortunately, the gods and Buddhas protected us, and the Japanese sent His Highness Feng back to the country. The country cannot be without a king for a day, so today I invite His Highness Feng to return to the country. Ascend to the throne and lead us to retake the old capital, expel the Tang people, and restore Baekje!"
"Recapture the old capital, expel the Tang people, and restore Baekje!"
As soon as Gushi Fuxin finished speaking, everyone on his side responded in unison. Even on Daochen's side, many people agreed. Apparently, they were very supportive of Fuyu Fengzhang's ascension to the throne. It is what everyone expects. But Fuyu Fengzhang himself said that his virtue and ability were shallow and not enough to inherit the legacy of the previous king. Everyone thought that this was Fuyu Fengzhang's pretentious refusal, and they tried to persuade him to come forward.
"From what the old monk sees, the time for Your Highness Feng to ascend the throne is not ripe!" Daochen's speech made Onimuro Fukunobu burst into ecstasy. He did not expect that his opponent would say such stupid things. He didn't even have to speak himself. Daochen He was drowned out by the roar of the crowd.
"Your Highness, Dao Chen is disloyal to you!"
"Please take down Daochen!"
…
No matter what he thought in his heart, at least Fuyu Fengzhang's demeanor remained the same at this time. He raised his right hand and the hall became calm again.
"Master Daochen, can I hear your reasons?"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Daochen bowed to Fuyu Fengzhang on the throne, his thick beard hanging down over his knees: "As a king, you must set an example for the world. Now that the late king is still alive, Your Highness Feng, you have just returned home. If you ascend the throne and become king, I’m afraid you won’t be able to justify it in front of the gods and Buddhas!”
"But my father is in the hands of the Tang Dynasty! Do I have to wait until my father dies before I can succeed?"
"Just conquer the old capital!" Daochen said: "As long as you conquer the old capital, the position of king will belong to you. No one in the world can say a word! Apart from that, if I, Baekje, want to restore the country, , we must borrow the power of Goguryeo, you will not ascend the throne for the time being, you can be more flexible at this convenience!"
Fuyu Fengzhang nodded. He didn't care much about the first half of Dao Chen's words, but the second half hit his mind. The Tang army crossed the sea to destroy Baekje as part of its grand strategy against Goguryeo. Therefore, after the fall of Baekje, Goguryeo ignored the ongoing fierce battles with the main force of the Tang army on its western and northern fronts and sent a considerable number of troops to attack Silla to support The restoration of Baekje (at that time, Goguryeo and Baekje were not bordering each other and were separated by Silla). Considering that Goguryeo also had the hostages of Baekje's royal family at that time, if Buyeo Fengzhang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself king now, it would probably anger Goguryeo and stop attacking Silla. This would undoubtedly be detrimental to Baekje's restoration movement.
"What the Master said is true, so what name do you think I should use now?"
"Your Highness is the beloved son of the late king. Since the late king was kidnapped by the Tang Dynasty, Your Highness will temporarily take charge of his affairs as Ah Heng!"
"Very good!" Fuyu Fengzhang nodded with satisfaction. Although he was sent to Japan as a hostage when he was young, he still received a good Chinese education. He knew that the Aheng mentioned by Daochen was served by Yi Yin, a famous official in the Shang Dynasty. After Yi Yin assisted Shang Tang in destroying Xia, he assisted the four monarchs after Shang Tang. When Shang Tang's eldest grandson Taijia did not abide by the laws left by Shang Tang, Yiyin imprisoned Taijia in Chengtang's tomb. In Tong Palace, he took control of the government affairs by himself, and wrote "Yi Xun", "Si Ming", "Hu Hou" and other precepts for Taijia to learn. Taijia reformed his evil ways and became good in Tonggong for three years. Shang Tang just handed over the government to Taijia. After his death, Yiyin was buried with the rites of the emperor. This official position is only half a step away from becoming king, which is exactly what he wants.
"Your Highness!" Onoshi Fukunobu was anxious when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "As the saying goes, it is true. Heroes are gathering now to support the new king and make immortal contributions. If you miss this opportunity and lose the hearts of the people, That would be too much to regret!”
"Expelling the Tang bandits and restoring the old capital is what the people want!" Fuyu Fengzhang's voice had a metallic clang. He stood up and glanced at everyone present, finally stopping at Hei Te Changzhi and Sha Zha. Xiangru suddenly smiled and said, "What are your two names?"
Hei Te Changzhi and Sha Zha Xiangru were stunned. Neither of them expected that Fuyu Fengzhang would point out the two of them. After a moment, they came back to their senses, bowed to each other and said: "Xiaguan Hei Te Changzhi ( Sha Zha Xiangru)!"
"Black Teeth Changzhi? Sha Zha Xiangru? Are you two the ones who can conquer the true city of Xian?"
Sha Zha Xiangru was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said loudly: "Yes, it's the two of us!"
"Okay, very good!" Fuyu Fengzhang smiled more and more kindly: "Zhenxian City is the main road from the Tang Dynasty to Silla, and the two of you have made great contributions. If I entrust you with the vanguard of restoring the old capital, These two will definitely not disappoint me!"
"Your Majesty, you obey!" Sha Zha Xiangru hurriedly kowtowed to the leader. Black Teeth Changzhi hesitated for a moment and said loudly: "Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to serve Your Highness, it's just that the soldiers under my command are not fully equipped and may not be able to resist the Tang invaders. Damage His Highness’s reputation!”
"So that's it!" Fuyu Fengzhang said with a smile: "Mr. Fu Xin, give these two men 300 armored collars, 1,000 spears, and 50,000 arrows from the armor donated by the Japanese!"
