The Ancestral Country
Masquerading
"Guard, watchman,
Call all the Daha court magnates to face here now!", said Sang Prabu Samarawijaya immediately.
4 soldiers guarding the king's private room immediately worshiped Prabu Samarawijaya then they retreated to carry out the duties of the King Daha.
Not long after, the entire Daha palace magnate gathered in the king's private room.
"In the Book of Manawa,
A rebel will be sentenced to death. A traitor will be punished by the law of beheading and one who supports them will be punished by stoning.
I'm asking you guys, please,
Who supports Ranggawangsa?", asked Sang Prabu Samarawijaya in a trembling voice.
The Daha court officials who had not heard the news of the Ranggawangsa rebellion looked at each other.
Demung Tantripala and Pamegat (Hakim) Mpu Rami who is a supporter of Ranggawangsa do not dare to speak up. Mapatih Jayakerti who had been watching their movements the last few full moons just glanced briefly at the two of them.
"Listen to me, please,
Ranggawangsa allied with Duke Ratnapangkaja of Muria to rebel against Daha.
I'm a good person, I don't like violence like the Vaishnava teachings that I believe to be the way of truth.
But remember, though,
Lord Vishnu will become buthakala with quarterrama if anyone messes with the peace of the world.
I'm not the Lord Vishnu who cried at Kanjeng Romo Prabu Airlangga. But I do not hesitate to become buthakala if anyone dares to betray me" said Prabu Samarawijaya with a loud voice.
Silent.
The atmosphere was so quiet inside the king's private room. No one dared to speak.
"Maitreya, please,
Prepare the Panjalu army to attack Ranggawangsa and its allies. Kabari Yuwaraja Jayengrana for this matter", Prabu Samarawijaya said immediately.
"Maitreya ready to carry out the orders of Gusti Maharaja", Senopati Maitreya immediately respected.
"Except Narapraja, Jayakerti and Maitreya,
All of you please disperse. If later I find your involvement in the Ranggawangsa problem, do not expect me to release you", said Prabu Samarawijaya as he raised his right hand.
"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Prabu", all Daha palace dignitaries, except Mapatih Jayakerti, Senopati Narapraja and Maitreya worship to Prabu Samarawijaya then retreated from the king's private room.
"Please forgive Gusti Prabu,
There is another thing what we are talking about next?", asked Mapatih Jayakerti while respecting Prabu Samarawijaya.
"I want you to call Mpu Wardhana from Karang Anom, to be my advisor Jayakerti.
I started to know the rottenness of Ranggawangsa, apparently he planned this a long time ago. Through Wiramukti, he wants to rule in the country of Panjalu. Prince Jayengrana's assassination attempt the other day was clearly his. I regret believing it.
Investigate all officials close to Ranggawangsa, if they find their involvement, immediately arrest them", said the Maharaja of Panjalu.
"Hamba is ready to carry out all the orders of Gusti Prabu" said Mapatih Jayakerti immediately.
"Narapraja, please,
I sent you personally to meet Yuwaraja at Katang-katang. Tell me about this. Get some bodyguards to accompany you.
Maitreya, sir,
Prepare our armies. Choose the one that has no involvement with Muria or Ranggawangsa. I ask within 3 days to prepare you to organize all the soldiers", Prabu Samarawijaya stared at the two young senopati immediately.
Senopati Narapraja and Maitreya immediately worship to Prabu Samarawijaya along with Mapatih Jayakerti. The three of them immediately retreated from the king's personal space to carry out their respective duties.
Prabu Samarawijaya stared at their departure with a hopeful look.
Meanwhile at Katang-katang Palace, Panji Watugunung who began to carry out his duties as yuwaraja began to receive messengers from various regions of Daha. Each sent taxes and tributes as a form of support to the prince who will become the next king of Panjalu.
From the east of the Daha region, the first Duchy of Seloageng sent messengers with the daughter-in-law of Duke Tejo Sumirat who was the husband of the elder sister of Goddess Anggarawati, Arya Bama.
The second was Wengker who sent Warok Suropati as their official envoy. Master and father-in-law of Panji Watugunung from the seventh wife of Panji Watugunung. Cempluk Rara Sunti was very happy to see his father's arrival at the Katang-katang palace.
Next in a row began Anjuk Farm, Karang Anom, Bracelets, Tanggulangin and Kurawan.
They all really did not suspect that the messenger the other day who came to their place was the candidate yuwaraja Panjalu.
That afternoon, Senopati Narapraja came to Katang-katang Palace with Tumenggung Wiguna and 20 Daha soldiers.
Upon entering the newly opened area, they were amazed to see hundreds of new houses on the right left of the road leading to the Katang-katang palace. The development of the area is really rapid. Upon entering the Katang-katang palace square, the two warriors who were going around immediately approached them.
"Sorry Gusti Officer, please,
Are you going to the Katang-katang palace?", asked the soldier politely.
"Yes the soldier, man,
Can you show me the way to the palace?", Tumenggung Wiguna immediately replied.
"Let me drive back", the soldier immediately stepped towards the Katang-katang palace after saying. Senopati Narapraja and his escorts immediately followed the steps of the soldier.
Patugunung Panji was sitting opposite Kurawan's envoy, Tumenggung Rikasamba when Senopati Narapraja and his attendants entered the Yuwaraja's private room.
"Narapraja arranged worship to Gusti Pangeran Panji Jayengrana", Senopati Narapraja said while respecting the.
"Sit Senopati Narapraja, Tumenggung Wiguna.
Welcome to the Katang-katang palace", said Panji Watugunung soon.
The two high-ranking officers of the Daha soldier immediately sat cross-legged in front of the Watugunung Panji.
"It is not usual for Senopati Narapraja to visit here,
Is there any need with me?", asked Panji Watugunung with a faint smile.
"The Prince's wrestling is smart, indeed,
Servant sent by Gusti Maharaja Samarawijaya to ask Gusti Pangeran's opinion about Ranggawangsa", Senopati Narapraja immediately respect.
"What's with that old advisor?", Panji Watugunung was curious.
Senopati Narapraja soon told about Ranggawangsa who chose to rebel against Daha by inciting the Duke of Muria, Ramawijaya. Panji Watugunung surprised not play.
"Gusti Prabu Samarawijaya asked Gusti Pangeran's opinion on this issue.
Hmmmm
"Actions of treason are serious. That action is the same as opposing the rightful ruler.
If we want to crush it, we cannot directly invade the Duchy of Muria. Because of course Ranggawangsa has anticipated all things" said Panji Watugunung soon.
"Well what advice does Gusti Pangeran?", Senopati Narapraja looked at the face of Panji Watugunung who was thinking.
"Ranggawangsa must have prepared tactics and guard in the Duchy of Muria.
We'd better get the soldiers to Muria. Slowly, we gradually enter them", proposed Patugunung Panji.
"But how do we determine the gathering place for this spreading warrior Gusti Prince?", asked Narapraja while scratching his head.
"Determine a password for the soldiers so that they know that they are comrades" Watugunung replied with a smile.
"I will disguise myself to see the situation in the Duchy of Muria, Senopati Narapraja.
If it blatantly goes there, obviously I will be recognized" added Panji Watugunung.
That afternoon they discussed preparations to invade the Duchy of Muria located on the island of Muria.
The Daha army of 8000 troops is divided into 2 parts. A section of 5 thousand men dressed in warrior clothes moved from Daha towards the territory of the Duchy of Lasem. While the 3 thousand plain-clothed soldiers moved silently silently.
Patugunung banner accompanied by Dewi Srimpi, Dewi Naganingrum and Ratna Pitaloka left the Katang-katang palace, after asking Sekar Mayang and Cempluk Rara Sunti to take care of two sisters while ensuring the security of the palace.
Accompanied by Garuda Panjalu troops, Panji Watugunung and his three wives moved towards Pakuwon Yuwana which has a large port.
The plain-clothed Daha army led by Senopati Narapraja was heading towards Pakuwon Gelagah.
While the Daha Army led by Senopati Maitreya moved towards Pakuwon Jaladri which became the main link between the Duchy of Lasem and the Duchy of Muria.
A week later, they arrived at the place they were going.
"Hayo hayo who is going to join the Duchy of Muria?", shouted a thick man with a loud voice.
Watugunung's banner disguised as a bodyguard with a caping covered almost all of her face, Dewi Naganingrum dressed as a master, and Dewi Srimpi and Ratna Pitaloka dressed as servants.
"Hampura Kang, please,
This ship was about to go to his Muria?", asked Naganingrum with his thick Sundanese dialect.
The stocky man stared at Naganingrum's face, which he said had a different language. A moment later he said,
"Truly nisanak, really,
Do you want to go to Muria?", asked the fat man immediately.
"Yes Kang, want to trade me mah..
Sabaraha the cost to board this ship Kang?", Naganingrum looked at the face of the stocky man.
"Everyone has 2 pieces of nisanak silver" replied the fat man.
"Ih expensive pisan euy..
But that's okay, to start a business mah indeed have to go out of capital first", Naganingrum immediately held out 8 pieces of silver to the thick-bodied man.
Soon the man escorted Naganingrum aboard a large ship. There were about 30 passengers on board. They occupied one corner of the great ship.
A strong wind drove the large ship to the other side.
At a seaport pier, the large ship slowly docked. The passengers neatly lined up down from the ship including Panji Watugunung and his three wives.
In the harbor, soldiers look around while checking the passengers who just got off the ship docked at the port.
Looking at a beautiful woman who was escorted by two women in shabby clothes and a man in clothes, the soldiers immediately approached them.
"Beautiful girl, by the way,
Looking at your clothes, you must be a rich man. What business are you here for?", said a soldier strapped to his right cheek.
"Hampura Kang, please,
I just want to trade. I want to sell a variety of my merchandise in the port of Yuwana.
Do I know a rich cloth merchant here, I have an offer of cooperation", replied Naganingrum with a smile.
"Are you really a trader? You look more like the king's daughter", the thick-moustached warrior probed.
"Ah if I'm the king's daughter, how could it be far away.
If I don't believe it, I can't see it in the cloth. There is an example of my wares" said Naganingrum, pointing to the bundle of cloth on Ratna Pitaloka's back.
2 The soldier immediately opened the wrapping cloth that had just been handed down by Ratna Pitaloka, and sure enough dozens of good fabrics were there.
The soldiers then smiled and then left the four of them behind.
"It's a good thing they believed" Naganingrum said with a sigh of relief.
They immediately rushed out of the harbor to a lodging house, according to the direction of Akuwu Yuwana.
In front of the inn they immediately entered, after reading the large inscription on the archway.
"Flower Inn"
