FIVE KINGS (The Five Kings)

Chapter 47

After King Louw died, Louw's country became very upset.

Prince Keng Hu aka Tiong, is the half-brother of King Louw Cong Kong. While Keng Hu's mother's younger brother named Gee aka Siok, still counted half-sister of King Louw Cong Kong as well.

King Louw Cong Kong has a younger brother named Prince Yu. Prince Yu's name is taken from the sign in the middle of his palm that is similar to the letter "Yu" (Friend/friend). His alias name was called Kui, so he was also called Kui Yu.

The three brothers were once given the position of Tay-hu, but because there are frills of siblings and half-brothers, plus Kui Yu is smarter than his two brothers, no wonder King Louw Cong Kong loved and trusted Kui Yu more.

When King Louw Cong Kong had only been in power for three years, he once went for a walk to the stage in Long Land. From that stage he saw the daughter of She Tong named Beng Jim. Paras Beng Jim is so beautiful, so it is very attractive to King Louw Cong Kong. The more he was seen the more tempted this king. Finally his intention arose, and King Louw ordered his slave to call the girl.

When offered to be made the wife of King Louw, Beng Jim was worried, later he would be wasted by King Louw. So he refused the will of King Louw Cong Kong. But because King Louw Cong Kong was eager to get the sweet lady. And the king is like a man who forgets the land. King Louw said, "Come, sweet lady! If you want to be my wife, I'll make you empress!"

The clever Beng Jim, said to King Louw Cong Kong. He wants to marry the King of Louw will swear to keep his promise. Being infatuated by Beng Jim without a second thought, King Louw happily swears before Beng Jim.

That was the night King Louw Cong Kong invited Beng Jim to spend the night on the ranggon.

The next day Beng Jim was brought home to the palace.

They lived a sweet and happy life for over a year, then Beng Jim gave birth to a son named Pan.

At that time King Louw Cong Kong was about to raise Beng Jim to become empress. Then King Louw begged his mother, Bun Kiang, for permission to make Beng Jim empress.

Bun Kiang did not approve his son's request, because he had determined that King Louw Cong Kong should marry the daughter of King Cee Siang Kong of Cee.

After King Cee Siang Kong's daughter Kiang Si grew up, she married King Louw and became empress. Beng Jim was very ill. He could not get out of his bed. Not long after, he let go of his final breath.

Using the rules of burial of a concubine, King Louw Cong Kong buried the body of Beng Jim.

After a long time husband and wife Kiang Si has not had children either; while his sister who became the second empress of King Louw, has given birth to a son named Ke.

King Louw Cong Kong had a mistress or concubine she Hong. She was the daughter of King Si Kouw, and had given birth to a son named Sin.

Consort Hong Si was about to leave Sin to Kui Yu, so that Sin would later become his heir. But Kui Yu refused by saying, "Chu Pan is older."

Thus even Hong Si did not dare to let out that wish.

Even King Louw Cong Kong had made Kiang Si empress, but he did not love her. On the outside, he imposed the rules, but in fact he did not pay much attention to Kiang Si.

Indeed Kiang Si is a woman who is less happy, because King Louw Cong Kong is not enough inner pleasure. No wonder he always felt so excited.

One day Kiang Si saw the stout-looking Prince Keng Hu and his face was cute. Without realizing it he was in love with her. Secretly Kiang Si ordered his servant who could be trusted to convey his heart's intentions.

Prince Keng Hu agreed. The two men had a secret relationship. Their relationship is getting closer. Then Kiang Si held a secret alliance with Siok Gee. They agreed that one day they would make Prince Keng Hu the King and Siok Gee the prime minister.

When King Louw Cong Kong was already the 31st year to be king, there was a disaster in his country. It has been months without rain. As a result, many crops were damaged and many people were stricken with disease. King Louw Cong Kong is about to pray for rain.
