FIVE KINGS (The Five Kings)

Chapter 27

When Ong Cu Cui received the letter and read it, he became confused and did not know what to do.

Among the five Tay-hu there are those who say this.

"My master, like a man on a tiger's back, can't go down without facing danger, as the saying goes, right? So what should the person who has become Emperor be told to drip again? The King's words were too insulting to my Master, please Your Majesty don't care about it!"

Hearing the incitement Ong Cu Tui became very upset, he expelled the envoy of The.

The envoy returned to his country, and delivered his report to his king.

The King memui His Majesty Ciu in Lek-ip or Lek-shia. Then the King pursued His Majesty to the capital of The land. After a great feast was held and King The handed various gifts to His Majesty, only then did His Majesty return to the city of Lek-shia.

It was the third year of the reign of His Majesty Ciu Hui Ong.

In the Tang (sluggish) season The King sent envoys to the Kek country to invite King Kek together to mobilize their army to help His Majesty; the invitation was well received by King Kek.

In the fourth year of the reign of His Majesty Hui Ong, King The gathered his army in the land of Ji (the land of The). In the month of Si-gwe (fourth month of Lunar), they accompanied His Majesty and sent his army to attack the city of king Ciu.

Kui Kok, Pian Kek, Cu Kim, Ciok Ku and Ciam Hu painstakingly arranged a guard in the king's city. But the people of the Ciu state, who were not happy with Ong Cu Tui, heard His Majesty Ong come and they cheered happily. His voice rumbled like the sound of thunder. They were scrambling to open the city door and welcome the arrival of His Majesty Ciu Hui Ong.

At that time Kui Kok was writing a letter to ask for help to the land of We. Before the letter was finished, there was a sound of bells and drums ringing. Then came the report.

"Baginda Ciu Hui Ong has returned and become king."

Kui Kok was shocked not to play until the chair he was sitting on shook. Out of fear and horror he slit his throat with a sword.

Ciok Kui and Cu Kim perished in the commotion. Pian Hek and Ciam Hu were captured by their subjects handed over to His Majesty Ciu Hui Ong. Ong Cu Tui with Sek Sok managed to escape. Fortunately they were overtaken and held captive by the Kek and The soldiers. All the traitors were then put to death.

After His Majesty Ciu Hui Ong ascended the throne again, he gave gifts to King The form of lands starting from Houw-bouw directly to the east.The King Kek was given the gift of land in Ciu-coan and wine.

Both kings thanked me. After that they paid their respects to His Majesty, each leading his soldiers back to his country.

In the middle of the road King The Le Kong fell ill, after returning home to his country not how long he died. All dignitaries appointed Si Cu Ciat to be King of The replacing King of The Le Kong, he was titled Bun Kong.

In the year of the reign of Emperor Ciu Hui Ong the fourth, in the Ciu (Semi) season of the month Cit-gwe (seventh month of Lunar). Empress Bun Kiang fell ill. The pain is severe and can no longer be treated. It was not long before Empress Bu died. Before dying, he told Louw Cong Kong.

"You must marry the daughter of Cee. Remember you have to wholeheartedly help King Cee and not break up the family relationship" Consort Bun said.

After his mother died King Louw Cong Kong was very sad. He buried his mother's body well.

"The mourning period for the death of Lau-hu-jin Bun Kiang is not over yet, I think it would be inappropriate for my Master to talk directly about marriage" Co We said, "We should wait again until three years later, after the mourning, we will talk about the marriage. I don't think it's too late."

"But my mother told me I should marry the princess of Cee" Louw Cong Kong said. "Indeed, if you are mourning soon marriage is inappropriate, only if you have to wait up to three years, after the mourning is too long. Now that I want to be fair, I want to take the middle ground."

None of the ministers dared to refute the will of his king.

Just at the end of the year, King Louw negotiated the issue of his marriage. He sent people to discuss the marriage and his proposal to King Cee. He promised to come to Cee's country alone to have his wedding. King Cee disagreed and somewhat objected, as King Louw had not yet escaped mourning. He asked the marriage to be postponed first.

Until the seventh year of Ciu Hui Ong's reign, the issue of new marriages was fixed. Her day was chosen in the season of Ciu (Semi) because it is considered a good day.

Louw Cong Kong was king for 24 years, and he was 37.

**

When the wedding was over, King Louw left for Cee. Then the wedding was celebrated with great fanfare. After the wedding, King Louw brought Empress Kang-si back to Louw. The Empress was also called Empress Ai-kiang.

Since then Cee's country and Louw's country have been eternal friends.

Some day......

King Cee joined his army with the Louw army, meaning it would hit the Ci nation and attack the Jiong nation (Mongol). Then the two nations all managed to defeat them.

In the tenth year of Ciu Hui Ong's reign, the Ci and Jiong people were already completely submissive under the influence of the Cee lands.

Seeing the influence of Cee's country getting bigger, the King of The Bun Kong became more worried. Hurriedly The King sent an envoy to ask for union again.

At that time all the small countries, except for Couw, were all under the rule of Cee. King Cee Hoan Kong was very pleased. King Cee had a big party to please his men and soldiers.

After drinking wine until drunk, Pao Siok Gee while holding a wine cup came before King Cee Hoan Kong. He poured a cup of wine to congratulate King Cee.

King Cee Hoan Kong welcomed the wine, which he continued to drink until the cup was dry.

"Today I'm so happy to drink wine with you!" said King Cee.

"Behold the servant of a wise and benevolent King, both in joy and sorrow do not forget distress. My master did not forget the moment before becoming King; so did Koan Tiong. He must remember when he was still being held. Leng Cek do not forget when he was a buffalo herder" said Pao Siok Ge.

Hurried King Cee Hoan Kong got up from his seat while saluting Pao Siok Gee.

"Thank you so much for your advice! If all the ministers don't forget the misery I'm happy too." Said King Cee.
