FIVE KINGS (The Five Kings)

Chapter 82

Hearing that remark Tiong Ji immediately went up to the top of the city to see the person himself. Among them he recognized the leader, namely a Tio she named Swe aka Cu I, she's Tio Wi's sister.

”Because Cu I came, I don't feel worried anymore!” tiong Ji said with excitement,

So he commanded the people to open the doors of the city and send everyone into the city.

The ministers who joined Tio Swe included Tan Sin, Gui Cun, Ho Sia Kouw, Tian Kiat, Kai Cu Cui, Sian Cin and several tens of his followers.

”You palace officials, why did you come here?” tiong Ji asked in great surprise. ”Since Cu-kong is wrong, he loves Li-ki, the demon woman, so Cu-kong has killed the prince, then we are sure soon in Chin country will be chaotic! We know you're smart and virtuous, so we ran away from the palace to come with you!”

Meanwhile king Ek with sweet language immediately let everyone into the city.

Indeed Kong-cu Tiong Ji since he was a child has behaved sweetly and willing to be humble and respectful to people. When he was already seventeen, towards Ho Yan, he treated him like he was treating his father. Tio Swe he considered as his teacher, and towards Ho Sia Kouw, he behaved as he did to his candlestick.

At that time the learned and famous people, both those in the palace, and those outside the palace, were all sympathetic to Prince Tiong Ji. So it is not surprising, when Tiong Ji stopped from the Chin country, and his safety was threatened, many people wanted to serve him. They are not afraid of danger nor will they live in misery.

Only Kiok Peng and Lu I Seng who feel more like Kong-cu I Gouw, while Kek Sia is indeed the sister of Prince I Gouw's mother, Prince I Gouw, until they fled to the land of Kut and defended I Gouw.

When they had met with I Gouw, they told them that soon Ke Hoa and his army would come to attack.

This news made I Gouw very surprised, immediately he ordered people to arrange their troops to carry out strict guard against his city.

Luckily Ke Hoa was kind, he did not have the heart to capture I Gouw, so when his army had reached Kut, he deliberately acted slowly when besieging the city. In fact, he secretly told people to tell I Gouw, so that I Gouw immediately ran away, because if ayal just a little, because, chin's army has been added will certainly be more difficult to escape.

As soon as I got the news, I Gouw immediately negotiated.

”Kong-cu Tiong Ji is in Ek country, is it not better we also go there?” the I Gouw. ”Oh, no, Prince can not go there,” Kiok Peng said prevent. ”Cu-kong did think two princes were betraying. If now the Prince went there to gather with Prince Tiong Ji, Li-ki would have a very good reason, so surely the Chin soldiers would come to the land of Ek. So the Prince really ran to the land of Liang, because the land of Liang is close to the land of Cin, while the country of Cin is currently very advanced and strong! Moreover, the King is still the Prince's family, then in the future the Prince can borrow the Cin country's army in order to return to Chin!” country

I Gouw agreed to the suggestion, and soon he left for Liang.

Ke Ho pretended to give chase, but of course he deliberately could not catch up, then he went back to Chin Towns and reported to Chin Hian Kong.

Since neither Kong-cu was caught, Chin Hian-kong was furious. He's gonna kill Ke Hoa. But it was fortunate that Pi The Hu prevented him on the grounds that two princes ruled over the army, they were able to fight Ke Hoa. Chin Hoan Kong helplessly forced to comply. Ke Hoa is forgiven.

Then at the proposal of Liang Ngo, King Chin gave orders to Put Te to bring the war troops to attack the land of Ek to capture Prince Tiong Ji.

But king Ek did not stay silent, he arranged for his army in Cay-song (the Chinese border) to be ready to fend off attacks from Chin.

The two did not dare to move first, so they only waited up to two more months without fighting.

This situation made Pi The Hu so excited, he suggested to Chin Hian Kong, for King Chin to withdraw his troops.

”If we are at war with the land of Ek, not necessarily we win. Plus this will be less good in the eyes of the young Kings, your cooking as a father is so cruel to want to kill his two biological children. Even this will produce joke material in the eyes of the public!” pi Te Hu said to Chin Hian Kong.

He Ce is appointed Si-cu (Crown Prince). All the dignitaries except for the two Ngo and Sun Sit, no one was irritated. So many people get sick and ask to stop. In the first year of His Majesty Tiu Siang Ong, Chin Hian-kong had reigned for 26 years.

That year in the Ciu season, Cee Hoan-kong and the young Kings held a meeting in Kui-kiu. Chin Hian-kong will attend, but it's too late. When he came home in the middle of the road he fell ill.

Once in his country, Chin Hian-kong's disease worsens.

Seeing her downing will disappear Li-ki felt worried. He sat near King Chin's bed crying. Seeing Li-ki's behavior King Chin felt sorry for Li-ki.

When Chin Hian-kong felt his illness getting worse and was about to die, he called Sun Sit to come face to face. He told Sun Sit.

”Be careful you have to defend He Ce and Li-ki.” said King Chin.

Sun Sit promised to pay close attention to his visitation message.

A few days later, Chin Hian-kong let out his last breath.

Li-ki immediately leaned on He Ce who was only eleven years old, then he handed it over to Sun Sit.

As Sun Sit remembered having received an order from Chin Hian-kong the most recent, he picked up He Ce to preside over the funeral service.

All the dignitaries gathered together will express their sorrow for the death of their king.

At that time Li-ki raised Sun Sit to be Siang-kong (Minister's Fund), Liang Ngo and Tong Koan Ngo were promoted to Co Yu Su Ma.

When all the business was done and all the dignitaries had disbanded, Li Kek secretly visited Pi The Hu's house to hold secret talks.

”That little boy will be king, now how should we help the Prince who bears the misery outside?” li Kek said to his friend.

”All affairs depend on a Sun Sit, let's meet him what will he do?” sahut Pi The Hu's.

Li Kek agreed with that opinion. They both visited the Sun Sit building.

Their arrival was greeted by Sun Sit sweetly, they were invited into the inner room.

”Cu-kong has died, but Prince Tiong Ji and Prince I Gouw are all overseas,” Li Kek told Sun Sit, ”Siok Hu is a bigwig in the country. Why do you not invite them, instead raise the spiteful children to preside over the mourning ceremony. Can this make everyone satisfied?”

”I have received the message Cu-kong deceased,” said Sun Sit, ”Then I consider He Ce-my lord. I can't disavow our Cu-kong messages, except I'm dead!”

”If dying thus is of no use, would you rather just change Cu-kong's verdict?” pi The Hu.

”Oh, can't!” sahut Sun Sit's. ”I promised to pay attention to that message! Even if I have to die is useless, I do not want to subscribe Cu-kong.” message
