At that time, the one holding power was the Kingdom of Cou, the last kingdom of the Five Kingdoms era. Like the previous kingdoms, the Kingdom of Cou did not rule the government for long (951-960). After nine years of existence, in 959, the king of Cou fell seriously ill. His power he handed over to the crown prince who was only eleven years old at that time! As her guardian, of course, is the queen mother. It was since this time that the Cou Kingdom became weak, because many of its commanders were not happy to see that what they were defending was just a spoiled child and a mother who wanted to be in power.
The Cou kingdom has a high commander who is very trusted and loved by King Cou. This commander named Cao Kuang Yin, a war expert who is indeed a descendant of famous people. His ancestors were people who held high positions, being commander-in-chief since the Tang Empire and successively during the Five Kingdoms era, Cao's ancestors had always been important people in government, especially in the army.
Like other commanders and nobles, Cao Kuang Yin was secretly displeased at the king's replacement with a child accompanied by his greedy mother. Even when the little king, at the insistence of the queen mother, sentenced a high-ranking official who disputed the new law on tax collection to be made tougher, Commander Cao himself came to the palace and frankly protested!

This event was followed with tense hearts by the dignitaries. Cao's actions could be considered a rebellious attitude and once the little king who was influenced by his mother sentenced him to death, the commander-in-chief would no longer be helped. However, it seemed that the queen mother could also see that this commander-in-chief was not to be taken lightly. Behind him is a large army that loves him. So to relievetension, the queen mother accepted the protest and released the officer or high official who was known to be loyal.
But the incident did not stop there. At that time, the main enemies of the Cou Kingdom, the Khitans, were always wreaking havoc in the north and frequently raided northern cities. With the excuse of suppressing the riots carried out by the enemy, the little king, at the insistence of the queen mother, then issued an order to Commander Cao Kuang Yin to lead his army north and fight the Khitans.
As a loyal warlord, of course Commander Cao could not refute his king's order to attack the enemy. Whatever the reason, if he doesn't obey this order, surely he will become the laughing stock of the world as a warlord who is afraid of war! Commander Cao was forced to lead his line to move north, even though he knew that there was dangerthe kingdom was not only from the Khitan people and guard could not be concentrated in the north only.
Most of the young commanders, officers and members of the ranks were dissatisfied and displeased with this task. Not only was the journey and assignment in the north very hard, but they could also suspect that this order was a 'revenge' from the queen mother so that it was impossible for them to receive services in this task that risked their lives. Outside Commander Cao's knowledge, the young commanders and officers secretly entered into agreements and alliances.
At night that day, when the line stopped and rested aftertraveling for several days from the king's city, seven young commanders and eleven officers gathered in a big tent. They agreed to force Commander-in-Chief Cao Kuang Yin by force to like to lead the march back to the king's city and attack it and take over power. In short they wanted to force Coa Kuang Yin to rebel against the little king and queen dowager!
Suddenly there was a sound of laughter, a shadow flashed and suddenly a strange grandfatherwas standing in the corner of the tent. This grandfather was very old, his legs bent cross-legged, hanging between the two sticks that replaced his feet. Of course the eighteen commanders quickly got up and were shocked and amazed. How could the tent that was guarded around it by the sentinel troops get intruded on by outsiders without anyone knowing? Since they were discussing serious secret business, of course the presence of an outsider like this grandfather was very surprising. Simultaneously they had drawn their respective swords and machetes.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha! Cu-wi Ciangkun (Officers), please don't be shocked and suspicious! I have come to help you carry out your very good intentions. The decayed Cou Empire must be torn down!"
Because the one who said these words was an unknown outsider, of course the commanders in chief were even more shocked and worried. Two of the officers who were famous for their skill in archery, had moved their hands and...
Serrr! serrr! two arrows with lightning speed had grabbed the grandfather's neck and stomach!
The old man didn't dodge at all or seemed to move, apparently he didn't see that the two arrows were like two hands of death reaching out to take his life. He was still comfortable saying, "Let me make excuses to Cao-goanswe (General Cao), and if something goes wrong so that you are forced to fight him, I will help you!"
The eighteen war experts stood wide-eyed in awe and shock. The grandfather was still talking and meanwhile, two arrows seemed to have hit his chest and neck, but because the grandfather spoke while moving his hands, they did not see how now suddenly the two arrows had been caught between his fingers. -Grandpa's finger!

A young commander-in-chief stepped forward with sword in hand. "Who are you? Dare to enter our tent without permission?"
"Ha-ha-ha! Ciangkun (Commander), you are still too young to know me. However, those of you who are old must have heard of my name. Previously I was called Sin-jiu Couw Pa Ong, a son of the prince of the Tang Kingdom and I still remember of Cao Beng, the General of the Tang Kingdom who is the grandfather of General Cao Kuang Yin now! But now I'm just an ordinary old man who is called Kong Lo Sengjin!"
Surprised everyone who was in the tent. The name Sin-jiu Couw Pa Ong is indeed very famous."How are you going to meddle in our business, the army's business?"
Again the old man laughed. "In matters of war you are indeed experts, and facing the ranks of course I am insignificant. However, in dealing with violent opponents, I hope I can help a lot. For example, I can easily disarm dozens of opponents. You see carefully!"
Suddenly the grandfather's body flashed at them! Surprised dozens of people. They were also not ordinary people, but commanders who were used to fighting, so of course they were good at martial arts. Seeing the grandfather's shadow flashing close, without hesitation they then moved their weapons lunging. There were voices of shock alternately and in the blink of an eye all the commanders and officers had lost their weapons. When they looked, they saw that their strangely stolen swords and machetes had been piled up on the table and the old man was already sitting on a bench near the table smiling.
"How? Am I worthy enough to be your ally?" They then sat back down around the table.
"Why is Lo-Cianpwe going to help us? With what purpose?" asked an old commander, now calling him lo-cianpwe because he knew that the paralyzed grandfather was truly extraordinary.
"For what purpose? Of course, with the aim of reestablishing the fallen Tang rule. General Cao is a descendant of the high-ranking Tang nobility, so it is only fitting that he be appointed. However, if he refuses, we can choose another person. Not Cao-goanswe one of us who is capable of succeeding the child king and his mother!"
Attracted by Kong Lo Sengjin's supernatural powers which of course would be a very valuable helper, finally the dozens of commanders accepted Kong Lo Sengjin as an ally and negotiated with them about their intention to force Cao Kuang Yin to rebel.
At that time General Cao Kuang Yin himself was not in his tent. This commander-in-chief came out alone and now he stands pensively on a small mountain, looking up at the sky decorated with sparkling stars. The quarter moon appears to be tilted in the sky. Many times the commander-in-chief took deep breaths, then he looked up to the sky and his heart's complaints came out that he didn't realize came out of his mouth.
"Liang, Tang, Cin, Han Cou... five empires sprang up, but all of them failed to secure the country and prosper the common people. Ahhh, so many stars have appeared and fallen, none of which shines a light illuminating the universe. When will a star appear that shines thereby?"
Suddenly, someone else's complaint was heard, followed by rhyme-like words. "If the head is right, the accomplice who is not good can be used. If the head is not right, the accomplice no matter how good it is, there is no benefit! Everything is indeed what God wills, then it can happen, but if man does not try and only relies on God's will , it is no different from a tree or an animal!"
Cao Kuang Yin was surprised, especially after looking up he saw a brave man dressed like a tosu standing not far from there, also looking up while pouring wine from a wine jar.

Those words just now were not ordinary words, so Cao Kuang Yin could surmise that surely this person was not ordinary either. Quickly he faced him while juggling and said, "Good brother, your wordsreally amazed my heart, but also surprising. Please give me an explanation."
The dashing old man was none other than Kim-mo Taisu. After passing on all his knowledge to Bu Song for almost three years, he then separated from his student, whom he ordered to go look for a gold flute on the island.Pek-coa-to as told by writer Ciu Gwan Liong to Bu Song. Even so, he himself then started to go look for Kong Lo Sengjin. This was why he was at the top of the small hill, secretly shadowing Cao Kuang Yin whom he knew as the commander-in-chief of the Cou Kingdom.
Kim-mo Taisu had heard of all the affairs in the king's city, so he also knew that this general was leading a large army heading north. He was surprised when during his investigation he found out that the person he was chasing, namely Kong Lo Sengjin, was also in the army. Of course he would not dare to intervene recklessly in such a large array.
Now he deliberately approached Cao Kuang Yin and deliberately answered the general's complaint to gauge his heart. Now hearing the commander's question and seeing his natural and honest polite attitude, he was secretly amazed. Immediately Kim-mo Taisu confronted him and returned the proper salute.
"Cao-goanswe, please forgive me if I disturb you. Earlier I heard Goanswe's complaint about the five kingdoms that failed to secure the country and prosper the common people. I felt right and unintentionally uttered words that shocked Goanswe. In fact, our country has many patriots -patriots, heroes who love the motherland and nation, who are loyal to the country. However, if those in office as emperor are not wise and prioritize personal pleasure, of course those heroes will abuse their power. As a result, good leaders will be put aside, corrupt dignitaries and sycophants will be used. The descent of a shining star as emperor is of course Thian's will, but all of that will only happen through human endeavor and effort. This is my personal opinion,Goanswe, please forgive me if I'm wrong." Kim-mo Taisu drank his wine again.
"Ah, no... you're not mistaken! Your opinion is absolutely correct. Ah, wasn't I dealing with Kim-mo Taisu...?"
"Cao-goanswe has sharp eyes, I really admire him," said Kim-mo Taisu.
The general laughed. "Taisu's name rises as high as a mountain Thai-san. Fan on his waist, sword on his back and a jar of wine in his hand, then speaking such a wise opinion, who else could it be if not Kim-mo Taisu?"
Suddenly there was a loud noise and dozens of people appeared who immediately attacked Cao Kuang Yin with their weapons!
"Kill! Hurry up while there's a good chance!" that's how they screamed. their movementfast and light, a sign that they are highly knowledgeable people.
Cao Kuang Yin was completely shocked. Quickly he dodged the two machete strikes while jumping backwards anddrew his sword. "Who are you? Can't you see that I am General Cao? Stand back!!"
"Ha-ha-ha, instead we are looking for and must kill General Cao!" one of them shouted. There are twelve of them who are now locked up.
When the general was about to charge for a way out, suddenly Kim-mo Taisu said, "Calm down, Goanswe, and leave them to me!"
After saying that, Kim-mo Taisu, who had been drinking his wine earlier, put down his jar,then suddenly he spouted wine while twirling his body. There were screams of surprise as the twelve people felt a bolt of wine that was like needles being scattered. Before their surprise disappeared, suddenly Kim-mo Taisu was moving very fast using his fan. Every time the fan

moving, a mob then collapsed. In the cacophony of their voices, machetes and swords flew, and within a few minutes the twelve men had collapsed without a move!
"Don't kill everyone!" Cao Kuang Yin intervened, but it was too late. The last person had fallen too.
The general quickly jumped near the last man still moving, then he grabbed the man by the neck and snapped. "Come on, admit it! Who told you to?!"
The person tried to open his mouth, but the sound that came out was just a sound like a pig being slaughtered because his blood path had been cut off by the tapping of the fan handle and he could only point his finger, then go limp and his life flew away.
"Cao-goanswe, people who commit treason like them should all be killed,"said Kim-mo Taisu.
"Ah, but I want to know who ordered them?"
"He was pointing south, towards the king's city. Presumably from the king's city the order came."
Cao Kuang Yin frowned. He remembered and felt that in the king's city he had no enemies, except for the queen mother, of course, because he had protested. Could it be that the queen mother sent these assassins?
"Taisu has saved my life, what a great deed."
"Savior or death is only in the power of Thian! What a coincidence I amwas here when Goanswe was attacked by those people, but it's not really by chance that I amapproached Goanswe. I have deliberately shadowed Goanswe to this place for some reason."
"Ah...?" General Cao was shocked and looked sharply. "What do you mean?"
"I have personal business with a person who now happens to be in the Goanswe ranks. Noplease Goanswe I dare not seek commotion in the Goanswe army."
The general stroked his beard. "Hmm, who is that person?"
"He is Kong Lo Sengjin, or formerly known as Sin-jiu CouwPa Ong!" "Huh? Sin-jiu Couw Pa Ong? However in my line there is no that famous grandpa!”"I've been chasing him for a long time and there's no doubt he's in Goanswe's ranks."
"Then let's check it out tomorrow. Let Taisu come with me. Tonight I hope Taisu likes to accompany me and tomorrow we will examine it together. If there is Grandpa with the line, of course I will allow Taisu to settle Taisu's private matters with him." without our intervention."
"Thank you. Goanswe really is wise." Kim-mo Taisu saluted, then the two of them walked back to the camp together.
General Cao conversed and got along so well with the warrior that they talked late into the night. Kim-mo Taisu was given a place to rest near a big tent and after midnight the two of them stopped talking and went to sleep in their respective tents.
Historical eventit happened in the morning, when the sun had not yet appeared, only then did the reddish light appear. At that time, Great Commander Cao Kuang Yin was still in a deep sleep. Suddenly he woke up with a start and suddenly in his tent was full of people. There were already present seven of his commander-in-chiefs and eleven officers, all of whom were troop commanders in the ranks.

which he led, and among them appeared a crippled grandfather with a cane. The eldest commander broughta silver tray covered with yellow silk and the other commanders standing sword in hand!
"Heee! What's the meaning of this? What do you guys want to be this early withoutsummoned to enter my tent and disturb people's sleep?” Cao Kuang Yin exclaimed as he jumped down from his bed.was worried because he had complete trust in all these helpers who he knew were very loyal and dear to him.
"We are facing Goanswe to invite Goanswe to wear this dress, then leadwe all return to the king's city," said the eldest commander while handing out the tray.
Cao Kuang Yin was surprised, frowned and opened the yellow silk covering the tray. On the tray was neatly folded a set of yellow clothes embroidered with a dragon. Surprised Cao Kuang Yin. Such clothes are the clothes of the emperor! The clothes of a great king! They wanted him to clothe the emperor and lead them back to the king's city. That means that they wanted him to rebel and take the place of king!
"Ah, how could it be...?" He denied and took two steps back.
The crippled grandfather moved his cane forward, but at that moment a shadow of a person flashed andsuddenly Kim-mo Taisu had broken through from behind Cao Kuang Yin by tearing the tent. Calmly he stood to the commander-in-chief's left and said, "Coa-goanswe, do these people need to be exterminated?"
However Cao Kuang Yin shook his head. "Let them talk first."
The grandfather, who was none other than Kong Lo Sengjin, was very surprised to see Kim-mo Taisu appear, but after knowing him he smiled, and then said, "Good! Kim-mo Taisu's presence is an addition to our strength. Cao-goanswe, introduce me, I is Sinjiu Couw Pa Ong. I know your grandfather well who was commander-in-chief during the heyday of the Tang Empire. Since the Tang Empire fell to the ground by the traitors to the nation, kings have emerged but even now there is no king who is wise enough like during the Tang Empire. Because Therefore, the Ciangkuns have agreed to make Goanswe the new king and we all return to the city of the king to take over power. We hope that Goanswe will not refuse because the decision of the Ciangkuns is unanimous. Andbecause this matched my ideal, so I also entered this fellowship. I just hope I don't have to face my former best friend's granddaughter as an enemy!"
Before Cao Kuang Yin answered. Kim-mo Taisu, who had preceded him, said to Kong Lo Sengjin or Couw Pa Ong, "Kong Lo Sengjin, you don't need to join in on the conversation because your words and actions are based on mere lies, just like your betrayal ordered to kill my wife! Let Cao-goanswe deal with the commanders myself, and when it's done, I'll be the one to deal with you!"
Kong Lo Sengjin's face changed when he heard this, but he then stepped back and his eyes flashedgreat anger.
Meanwhile the old commander-in-chief carrying a tray had already bent his knees before Cao Kuang Yin saying, "We all hope that Goanswe will not waste this opportunity. The king's city is currently empty, taking over power is very easy for us. We all hope for the leadership of a king a strong man, not a child in the lap of a weak mother! We have made up our mindsmade Goanswe the new emperor and led us to storm the king's city."
"We base this affinity with our lives!" the clamor of the commanders and officers continued the old commander's words.
The atmosphere became quiet and tense. The muscles on all of their bodies, including Kim-mo Taisu and Kong Lo Sengjin, tensed and they were ready. Living and dying and fighting tooth and nail only depended on the answer of Cao Kuang Yin who still stood pensive, looking at the yellow clothes that were above him.tray. His face turned pale, his forehead wrinkled, his eyes gleamed strangely.

In his heart arise various feelings, in his brain various thoughts flashed. It was indeed hard for him, for a patriot who had been known since his ancestors as commander-in-chief and dignitaries who were loyal to the king. For an official loyalty is number one. But as a wise man, he understands that since the fall of the Tang Empire, the people have never experienced peace and tranquility in their lives. The civil war happened continuously, the power struggle never stopped. In order to end all the suffering of the people, it is necessary to have an iron fist of a leader who can unite them and destroy the dissenters and the troublemakers.
He understood that these commanders and officers appointed him emperor not solely because they admired him and wanted to glorify him, but because of their hatred of those at the helm.which is in the hands of a child in the lap of a power-crazed mother. Because they saw that the only way to make their rebellion successful was to make him supreme commander of the ranks, to become king. However, he also understood that if he refused, of course they would become reckless and attack him, trying to kill him. He was not afraid, especially beside him was the powerful Kim-mo Taisu. But if that happens, then everything will be broken. How can a large line be abandoned by its leaders who are at enmity with each other?
General Cao Kuang Yin took a deep breath, then he heard him say, his voice loud and dignified, "I can only accept and wear these clothes after all of you swear to obey my orders from this moment on!"
The eighteen army commanders suddenly knelt down and as if they had been commanded they swore together and swore an oath of allegiance and obedience to the new emperor!
Again Cao Kuang Yin took a breathlong. Before picking up the yellow clothes, he first glanced at Kim-mo Taisu. However, this sacred warrior only smiled, showing absolutely no resistance. Indeed, in his heart Kim-mo Taisu also agreed with the commanders' proposal and he knew that only in this way would the country be saved and liberated from war.protracted brother. Cao Kuang Yin was a capable, iron-fisted and respected general.
The clothes were taken by Cao Kuang Yin, then he put them on, outside of his nightgown because he was still in his nightgown at that time. A commander in chief took his hat, a general's hat so that Cao Kuang Yin looked like a king who was leading troops to go to war. Seeing how formidable and dashing their new king was, these commanders knelt down to salute and shout "Banswee!" many times.
Kim-mo Taisu came forward andsaluted Cao Kuang Yin. "Please allow Hong-siang (Emperor) to settle my private affairs with Kong Lo Sengjin."
Cao Kuang Yin glanced at the crippled grandfather still standing in the corner, then nodded and said softly,"Whatever, but we still need Taisu's help, please like to meet us in the king's city."
Kim-mo Taisu agreed, then turned to Kong Lo Sengjin and said loudly, "Kong Lo Sengjin, the business here is finished. Let's settle our calculations outside!" This is a challenge that cannot be avoided by a magician like Kong Lo Sengjin.
But at that moment outside the tent there was a clamor, the voices of many people and shouts began to be heard. "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Cao Kuang Yin glanced at his commanders, and saw that they were still kneelingand smiling, he knew that his commanders had indeed arranged beforehand to have their proposals reinforced by their men! He then said, "The Ciangkun may go out and prepare the line. Today we will return to the city of the king. However, my first order to you and to all members of the line is, it is strictly forbidden to commit violence to anyone in the city of the king, because it is impossible there will be resistance. No one from the royal family is allowed to be disturbed, nor are the dignitaries and old officials, or the citizens, their property or life must not be disturbed at all. Anyone who violates this order of my prohibition will be put to death!"
