FIVE KINGS (The Five Kings)
Chapter 86
Pi The Hu was shocked.
”Eh what is this, why are you saying so?” ask Pi.
”Cu-Kong thought I was helping Li Kek destroy He Ce and Tok Cu, he was about to punish me, now how good is it?”
”Lu and Kiok are holding power, why don't you ask them for help?” pi The Hu.
”I'm about to be punished, all those two bastards!” youw Gan I. If I could just call her, what's the point of asking them for help?”
”Then what do you want?”
”Prince Tiong Ji is very good, educated people all like to help him, all the people of the country want him to be king. In addition, King Cin also hated the present king. Because he broke a promise. If you want anything, Tay-hu can order me, for example, to meet Prince Tiong Ji. To persuade Kong-cu Tiong Ji to fight back with the forces of the two countries Cin and Ek expelled Chin Hui-kong!”
Hearing Touw's words, Pi The Hu was startled. But he still did not immediately believe Touw's words.
But Touw Gan I kept trying to convince Pi The Hu who ended up trapped as well.
”Do you really have such intentions?” said Pi The Hu with a pounding heart.
Touw Gan I bit one of his fingers, so bleeding, he took an oath.
”If I am careless, let my whole family run out!” touw Gan I.
Seeing the earnest attitude of Touw Gan I, Pi The Hu was convinced.
”Tomorrow I will have a meeting,” Pi said The Hu akhrinya. ”Later this problem we will decide.”
The next night, Touw Gan I went back to Pi The Hu's house, where he saw Ki Ki Ki, Kiong Hoa, Ke Hoa and Tiauw Coan had arrived first, and there are more Siok Kian, Lu Hu, Tek Kiong and Tian Ki, the relatives of Prince Sin Seng, with Pi The Hu and Touw Gan I numbering ten. There they arranged the prayer table by drinking blood to take an oath, that both would make Prince Tiong Ji king.
After taking the oath, Pi The Hu invited his friends to drink wine, until all drunk just separated home.
This incident was secretly reported by Touw Gan I to Kiok Peng.
Kiok Peng became excited, with a sweet face he said. ”If you only have a word there is no proof, then you must get a letter Pi The Hu, thus only can impose punishment on him.”
Tomorrow night Touw Gan I comes again to the house of Pi The Hu. It just so happened that Pi wanted to send a letter to Prince Tiong Ji.
The letter had indeed been provided for a long time by Pi The Hu. Ten names have been listed, and nine people have affixed his signature, only Touw Gan I who has not signed the letter.
Touw Gan I took the pit and affixed his signature.
Pi The Hu immediately put the letter on the cover and quickly closed neatly, then handed it to Touw Gan I, and ordered to be careful not to let the secret leak.
Touw Gan I was overjoyed because now he had obtained the desired proof.
”Campus you!” touw Gan I.
After Kiok Peng opened and checked the letter, he became very excited, then he told Touw Gan I to hide in his house, while the letter was placed in his clothes. With no doubt he met Lu I Seng. They go to Kok-kiu Kek Shia, to report the existence of the secret movement.
”If not immediately get rid of those who want to betray it, then the country will be chaotic!” lu I Seng.
That very night Kek Shia went to knock on the door of the palace, after meeting King Chin Hui-Kong, he immediately told him that Pi The Hu and his group were about to betray him, so he asked tomorrow morning if Chin Hui-Kong convened in the palace could directly impose punishment on them. The proof is the letter.
The next day, Chin Hui-Kong held a trial at the palace, while Kiok Peng and Lu I Seng had already hidden some of his men in the inner palace.
After all the dignitaries saluted, Chin Hui Kong immediately called Pi The Hu facing.
”I know you were about to get rid of me to raise Prince Tiong Ji!” so Chin Hui-Kong said furiously. ”Now I want to ask what punishment do you want?”
When Pi The Hu was about to reply, Kiok Peng had already immediately pulled out his sword and shouted.
”You ordered Touw Gan I to bring a letter to invite Tiong Ji, fortunately the windfall of the great King, Touw Gan I was already caught outside the city and we got the letter! The number of people who have betrayed is ten! Now that Touw Gan I has confessed, you don't have much to say anymore!”
Chin Hui-kong immediately threw the letter on the table.
Lu I Seng immediately picked it up so as his name was written on it, it was read one by one.
Massive arrests were made.
Among the signatories only Kiong Hoa who lived in the house did not come to the palace, but he was also told to be arrested.
The eight ministers who were there looked at each other and were shocked not to think their secrets had been leaked. They had no hope of escaping death.
Chin Hui-Kong immediately called the executioner to bring the eight men out of the palace to be slashed by his neck.
Meanwhile Kiong Hoa was in his house. After hearing Pi The Hu and the others were already put to death, he immediately came to the palace to receive the death penalty, he said, without being arrested again, he surrendered.
The cruel Chin Hui-Kong immediately issued an order to execute Kiong Hoa.
The son of Pi The Hu, Pi Pa his name, when he heard his father had been killed, no doubt he immediately went to the land of Cin.
Apparently Chin Hui-Kong was still curious, soon to eradicate the Li, Pi and other families. But it was fortunate that Chin Hui-Kong's cruelty could be prevented by Kiok Peng, so Chin Hui-Kong canceled his intention. He made Touw Gan I into Tiong-tay-hu and was given a rice field in the Hui-kui of three hundred squares.
Pi Pa who ran to the land of Cin then faced King Cin Bok-kong, he told me what had happened, he said, and he requested that King Cin Bok-kong send an invading army into Chin country. But Kian Siok and Pek Li He disagreed.
”Don't my Lord, if My Lord is fighting Chin, neither will my Lord help the minister fight his king. This was not good in the eyes of the kings. Let's just wait until Chin's country there's chaos. We just attacked them!” kian Siok.
King Cin Bok- Kong according to him does not agree on the proposal Pi Pa, but Pi Pa is used and works as a minister in the country Cin.
