FIVE KINGS (The Five Kings)
Chapter 62
"You imagine, he asked Prince The to meet them and his plotters" Emperor Ciu said. "What does he mean to do that? Does he have bad intentions?"
"What is my lord doing?" ciu Kong Khong.
"I intend to have you send a secret letter to King The Pek, in order for him to rejoin King Couw. Send my message to King Couw so he can support the Ciu Kingdom fully. What do you think?" the Emperor Ciu.
Ciu Kong Khong was aghast at Emperor Ciu's words.
"Don't! Don't my lord do that! According to him King Couw all for the services of King Cee and his comrades. Why would my Lord want to be hostile to King Cee who is very meritorious to my Master? Even my Master wants to join King Couw who often causes tantrums and dissidents?" ciu Kong Khong.
"Do you dare guarantee that Cee Houw has no other intentions?" sire Ciu Hui Ong said fiercely. "No, I don't agree with what you said! The shortness of my intention is fixed, it can no longer be prevented!"
Seeing Emperor Ciu angry Ciu Kong Khong did not dare to open his voice. Emperor Ciu made the letter which he handed over to Ciu Kong Khong to be handed over to The King. After the letter, Ciu Kong Khong immediately sent someone to deliver the letter. He doesn't know what it is. He also did not dare to steal to see her.
When King The Bun Kong received the letter from Emperor Ciu, he opened it and read:
"It turns out that The Prince has violated Emperor Ciu's orders and has held meetings with the Young Kings, hence I consider him unfit to be the Crown Prince. So I intend to raise Tai's second son in his place.
I ask you to separate from King Cee and rejoin King Couw. Then you two support the Ciu Kingdom. And support Prince Tai, then I will give you permission to work in the Ciu Kingdom."
So about the contents of Emperor Ciu's letter to King The Bun Kong. After that the King then gathered all his ministers to be invited to negotiate.
"When the late King of Bu Kong and Cong Kong became officials in the Kingdom of Ciu, they had great honor among the Young Kings. But unfortunately the department ended, until The country became worse. Luckily King The Le Kong succeeded in re-appointing Emperor Ciu, but unfortunately he was not called to work in the palace of the Kingdom of Ciu until his death. Now Emperor Ciu is asking for my help. I'm sure all Prince Ciu should respect me." Said the King.
"But if King Cee is remembered for wanting to help us, he sent his army to the land of Couw!" khong Siok said, "now if we part with the Cee empire and submit to Couw, this is the same as we do not remember the minds of people. Moreover, supporting The Prince is our duty. Please, my lord, think about this matter first."
"Your opinion is wrong" said the King. "Rather than according to the king of heroes is better according to Emperor Ciu. Moreover, the Emperor himself does not love The Prince, why should I love him?"
"According to the rules of the Kingdom of Ciu, who can become the Crown Prince is the son of the first Empress. And the eldest son." said Khong Siok. "Baginda Yu Ong loves Prince Pek Hok, His Majesty Hoan Ong loves Cu Kek, and His Majesty Cong Ong loves Chu Tui, all of which my Master knows. Why my lord does not want to follow the rules instead want to take the wrong way. Doesn't my Master worry that later on he'll regret it?"
"In my opinion, we should take the middle ground" Minister Sin Houw said. "But never refute the orders of Emperor Ciu. Therefore we must not participate in the meeting that will be held by King Cee. Outside of The Prince had followers, so did Prince Tai inside the palace. We don't know who will be the winner between them? We'd better be patient waiting and watching their movements."
The Bun Kong king agreed to Sin Houw's opinion, pretending to tell King Cee there was trouble within his country, then went home.
"No need! Just let him go" said Koan Tiong.
He stopped King Cee from moving. Then Koan Tiong analyzes the passing of The King.
"The and Ciu are located side by side" said Koan Tiong. "In this case surely Emperor Ciu had issued an order until his heart was moved. If we are only reduced to a king, it cannot mess with our great intentions. Meeting time is almost here. After that we just have a calculation with the land of The!"
King Cee Hoan Kong can't help but be patient, even if he's furious.
When the time of meeting had come, all the kings gathered except King Couw and The. In the meeting set all the Young Kings would support The Prince to become Emperor. They also took an oath.
The Prince was moved he thanked all the kings.
Tomorrow......
The Prince is going home.
All the young kings each brought their soldiers to take Prince The home. Among them King Cee and King We have delivered over the border of We.
When King Couw Seng Ong got word The King did not want to participate in the meeting of the kings, of course King Couw was very excited. He wished he could pull back The King to his side. King Couw immediately sent an envoy to meet Sin Houw while carrying valuable items to bribe Sin Houw. King Couw says he intends to continue his friendship with the country
Sin Houw was indeed very greedy, he accepted King Couw's bribe. Then he found King The and said that King Couw wanted to be friends.
"Hamba is sure that soon King Cee will invade The land" said Sin Houw. "If not King Couw won't be able to deal with it."
"Is that right?" the King said.
"Right, my Lord, if my Lord subdues Couw it is according to Emperor Ciu's message. If my lord does not immediately take a verdict, then King Cee and Couw will be enemies of The land" Sin Houw said.
The dorna minister's insistence had succeeded, King The Bun Kong ordered Sin Houw to secretly deliver the parcels to the land of Couw.
