FIVE KINGS (The Five Kings)
Chapter 87
In that year, Ong-cu Tay, the half-brother of His Majesty Siang-ong, had given bribes to the Jiong people, who were told to invade the Cities, because he intended to seize the throne of the kingdom. But His Majesty Siang-ong immediately asked all the young kings for help.
Cin Bok-kong, Chin Hui-kong and the other young kings came to the rescue, while Cee Hoa-kong also ordered Koan Tiong to deploy a war force to crush the Jiong people.
King Jiong was afraid of Cee's powerful army, as well as the young Kings who came to his aid, and they retreated and begged for mercy on His Majesty Siang-ong. The king of the Jiong nation also explained his arrival on the advice of Ong-cu Tay.
He pardoned the King of the Jiong people, but Ong-cu Tay was soon expelled from the Ciu area.
He remembered Koan Tiong who was the head of the city and had established his position and now re-defeated to have established the Jiong nation, then immediately held a big party in honor of Koan Tiong.
But Koan Tiong did not dare to accept the honor, Koan Tiong gave an excuse, he did not want to exceed the rank of two state officials.
After His Majesty forced it over and over again, it is okay for Koan Tiong to just accept the rules of He-keng that are carried out in his honor.
After the party was celebrated, Koan Tiong immediately said goodbye to His Majesty and continued to return to Cee's country.
In the Tang season of the year as well, Koan Tiong was sick.
At that time Leng Cek and Pin Si Bu were all dead.
Cee Hoan-kong felt very sad, he himself went to see Koan Tiong who was sick, he saw the prime minister was very thin.
”Tiong-hu, why is your pain so great?” lament Cee Hoan-kong while holding Koan Tiong's hand, ”if you are gone, should be handed over to whom the government in Cee?” country
”On Leng Check,” Koan Tiong said with a sigh.
”Besides Leng Check, who else can be used? I was thinking of using Pauw Siok Gee, do you think it's okay?”
”Pauw Siok Gee is indeed a gentleman, just a pity he should not be given a position in the government. He was a man who overvalued good and evil too firmly. If liking good is good, but if hating evil is outrageous, who will obey it? Strictly speaking, once he saw the evils of people, his whole life he did not forget. This is the ugliness of his habits.” said Koan Tiong.
”If Sek Peng, how?”
”Almost can. He is not shy to ask subordinates, even though he is at home he does not forget the work of the country.”
After saying so, Koan Tiong sighed, then said as well.
”It is only a pity that God revives Sek Peng, only to be his tongue I Gouw. If his body is dead, where his tongue can stay fixed, then I am worried if my Master uses Sek Peng can not be long.”
”Then, is Ek Ge usable?”
”My master despite not asking any questions, I was about to say this. Ek Ge, Si Tiauw and Kay Hong, those three people, should Tuanku stay away from them.”
”Ek Ge cooks his son's meat to serve me, obviously he loves me more than his son, is this person still to be suspected?”
”People usually love their children more, if their children only have to sacrifice, what about my lord?” koan Tiong.
”Si Tiauw willingly gave up her building and took care of me painstakingly, obviously she loves me more than her, is she also still to be suspected?” ask Cee Hoan-kong.
”The spirit of the person is more necessary for himself, when he himself is ignored, how is his attitude towards my Master later?” koan Tiong.
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.
