FIVE KINGS (The Five Kings)
Chapter 35
Being surrounded by the three people of the mighty Touw family, Chu Goan was unable to deal with them. Forced Chu Goan to retreat towards the door with the intention of escaping from the palace. But before he reached his point, Touw Pan's sword had already rushed into his head. At that very moment Chu Goan fell to the floor and died.
When Touw Kok O-to sees Touw Liam tied to the castle mast, he hastily opens a bond on Touw Liam's body.
After the chaos was extinguished they knelt before the door of Empress Bun's room. With a respectful attitude they asked the Queen's health also explained what had happened in front of her room. They explained that Chu Goan had perished.
"Thank you for cape-tired you all!" empress Bun said.
After all the ministers saluted, they left the Queen's palace.
The next day, when King Couw Seng Ong Him Tan was in the palace, after all the ministers had exercised their honor, King Couw ordered his men to kill all of Chu Goan's relatives. The king ordered the posting of information on the important streets. To inform the people that Chu Goan sinned so much that he was put to death.
The king gave a gift to Touw's meritorious family.
Among the Touws, Touw-kok O-to was the most skilled at governing. He was the chief minister of the state of Couw. He is the son of Touw Pek Pi. Touw-kok O-to's grandfather is Touw Jiak Go, his mother a daughter of King In. When Touw died, Pek Pi was very young. Touw Pek Pi is forced to come with his mother to live in the country of In. When Touw Pek Pi grows up, he has an affair with King In's daughter. When King In's daughter became pregnant and was discovered by her mother, the mistress forbade people from revealing secrets. Then his daughter was forbidden to have any more contact with Touw Pek Pi.
Touw Pek Pi is embarrassed to go to the land of Couw and work in the land of Couw. Princess In gave birth to a son, Lady King In was afraid her husband knew the secret. He ordered his slave to wrap the baby in a shirt and throw it somewhere in a jungle.
One day Bong Tek, King In saw a tiger breastfeeding a baby. When he returned to the palace he told his wife. Madam King had to be straightforward. That their daughter had an affair with Touw Pek Pi. That relationship until the birth of a son. For fear of being scolded by the king, the boy was thrown into the middle of the jungle.
"Maybe the child who is being breastfed by the tiger, our daughter's daughter My lord?" Queen says.
Hearing the testimony was not playful funnya Raja In. He was not angry, even excited. He ordered his men to take the baby that was breastfed by the tiger. Then he ordered his minister to take the princess and her baby to Touw Pek Pi's place in Couw country. Of course Touw Pek Pi is excited not to play. He expressed his gratitude for the goodwill of King In. Because according to the words of the people of Couw the word milk is called Kok, and the word tiger is called O-to, then by taking the meaning of the word tiger milk, by taking the meaning of the word tiger milk, the baby he named Touw-kok O-to aka Cu Bun.
After Chu Goan died, Leng-i's position in Couw was vacant. King Couw intends to elevate Touw Liam to Leng-i to replace Cu Goan.
"My master I have no intelligence to be a Leng-i" said Touw Liam. "Currently Cee's country is hostile to Couw's country. King Cee uses Koan Tiong and Leng Cek as his advisors. Their intelligence is very high. No wonder the country became rich and the army was very strong. The cleverness of servants could be compared to the two of them. When Tuanku wants to strengthen the defense of the country Couw also to become a champion in Tiong-goan (China). I think my master should wear a Touw-kok O-to. If not her servant is not sure it will work!" said Touw Liam.
He was aware that Touw-kok O-to was highly respected by all ministers in the country of Couw. After hearing the support of Touw Liam on Touw-kok O-to, His Majesty also agreed to make Touw-kok O-to his Prime Minister.
King Couw Seng Ong immediately raised Touw-kok O-to to become Leng-i in the land of Couw. People in the land of Couw are forbidden to call his name with Touw-kok O-to, but call him Chu Bun only.
It fell during the reign of King Ciu Hui Kong in the 13th year.
Since Touw-kok O-to aka Chu Bun accepted the position of Leng-i, he has always tried to advance the country of Couw. Chu Bun realized that the land of Couw was very weak. The greatest wealth is in the hands of his ministers. Therefore he intended to manage the wealth of Couw country well. Then he made a law with the aim that all ministers in Couw state return their property; half to the state. But Chu Bun was not merely giving an idea. He became the first pioneer to return half of his possessions to the state. The implementation of this return of wealth mainly starts from the Touw clan first. Because of this action of Chu Bun, not a single minister in the land of Couw was in opposition. They voluntarily returned their rice fields, land and businesses to the state
Seeing the position of Teng-shia city is very good, in the southern part of Teng-shia city is protected by the Siang-tam-hoo river, while in the northern part is protected by the Han-kang-hoo river. In Chu Bun's opinion in that place was very good for a Capital of the country. Then Chu Bun put the idea to King Couw. King Couw was happy to agree.
After the palace was completed, King Couw moved from the city of Tam-yang to the city of Teng-shia, the name of the city was changed to a new name called Teng-touw.
In addition, Chu Bun actively trained the army of the Couw country. He also put people who are good at taking care of the army and the country. He got a man named Kut Goan and Touw Ciang to help take care of the government in Couw country well.
Because of the intelligence of Chu Bun in taking care of government in Couw country, plus he was assisted by people who are clever, then in a short time the country of Couw became very prosperous, safe and peaceful.
