Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Unsurprisingly, Chen Yonghua's memorial on emigrating to Taiwan caused controversy during Zhu Jin's trip. Opponents pointed out that Chen Yonghua's proposal would damage local tax revenue on the grounds of the Maoding policy currently implemented in the mainland, and some Zheng Jun generals also He was worried that his land in Taiwan would be impacted, but in view of the overwhelming prestige accumulated by Chen Yonghua when developing Taiwan, and Taiwan is the root of Zheng Jun after all, this request was accepted by Zhu Jin.

At the beginning of December in the 29th year of the Yongli calendar, the first batch of [-] mainland refugees who fled to the Zhangquan area to escape the war were sent to Taiwan, thus starting the longest-lasting immigrant operation during Zhu Jin's reign. By the time Zhu Jin was finally defeated and withdrew from Siming four years later, more than [-] households of nearly [-] people from Fujian and Guangdong and Hakka children had crossed over to Taiwan. Mountain Two Counties

Since Zhu Jin and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers still stayed in the mainland, the New Year in the 30th year of the Yongli calendar was as deserted as last year, but this year Zheng Kezang did not escape the responsibility of presiding over the New Year Ceremony---according to Zhu Jin's decree sent a month ago, he As the representative of Zhu Jin, he will accept the congratulations from the officials of the Eastern Capital.

Since Zheng Kezang had to accept the pilgrimage of hundreds of officials and had a banquet, it was already late when he returned to the inner court to attend the family dinner hosted by Dong Guotai, but the Zheng family was waiting for him, Zheng Kezang was very hungry Even pouted.

However, compared to the children's dissatisfaction, Zheng Kuan's extremely jealous face makes people look uncomfortable: "Hey, Qinshe is back? It's a good feeling to sit on the silver palace. She, it's not that Sixth Uncle said you, I'm afraid it will take a few years to secure this seat."

Zheng Kezang turned a blind eye to this, and just went straight to Dong Guotai and bowed down respectfully: "New Year's Day is the time when the whole family gathers together. The grandson is not filial, and the grandmother has been waiting for a long time. Why does the grandmother scold me? My son is willing to bear it."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Zheng Kuan trembled with anger, but even Chen Zhaoniang who was on the side was quite worried, but Dong Guotai ignored Zheng Kezang's somewhat offensive words, and just said lightly: "Your father is not here, It is also favored by all the officials that you perform the duties of the feudal lord, why would grandma blame you, well, get up."

After Zheng Kezang thanked him, he was about to return to the seat of his mother, Chen Zhaoniang, but Dong Guotai stopped him: "Forget it, now that you have a different status, don't sit in the back, and sit next to grandma like Qin She."

Zheng Kezang noticed that Chen Zhaoniang was very happy, but Tang Heniang in the first row clenched her fists tightly. As for Zheng Kuan, Zheng Yu, and Zheng Wen, the faces of the three were also extremely ugly, but it was Zheng Cong who was partnering with Zheng Kezang and the Zheng Ming, Zheng Zhi, and Zheng Rou, who had accepted Zheng Kezang's affection in the matter of embezzling official land, remained calm.

When Zheng Kezang was seated, the banquet officially began. Dong Guotai just ate a few mouthfuls as in previous years and did not move, but from time to time picked up a few chopsticks for Zheng Kezang, who was chewing with his bulging cheeks.Although Zheng Kezang, who lived in two lifetimes, didn't care much about the affectionate grandparents and grandchildren who enjoyed it, it was impossible not to be jealous.

When Zheng Kezang was sighing secretly, Dong Guotai told him: "Come to grandma's room later."

Zheng Kezang was still stunned when he saw that Dong Guotai had dragged Zheng Keshuang, who was reluctant to part with food, away from the table.Zheng Kezang thought for a while, perhaps thinking that this was the best opportunity to get rid of the cynicism of Zheng Kuan and others, so he stood up and followed Dong Guotai all the way to the North Garden.

As soon as Zheng Kezang and Dong Guotai left, Tang Heniang couldn't sit down at first. After standing up and taking a deep look at Chen Zhaoniang, she immediately showed a look of not caring about you, and just said to Zheng Cong and others: "Uncles And continue to eat and drink, I feel a little unwell today, so I'll take a step ahead."

The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and Tang Heniang was born in a family of officials, so Zheng Cong and others naturally got up to return the gift.When Tang Heniang left, Chen Zhaoniang, who felt bored, also left, but her treatment was much worse. The Zheng brothers didn't even look at her directly, and the sisters-in-law had the right to act as if they didn't have this person.However, Chen Zhaoniang was already used to this, and she couldn't say she was unhappy, but because she was worried about the dialogue between Dong Guotai and Zheng Kezang, she was a little absent-minded when she left.

Zheng Cong didn't have much to talk about with his brothers, and when Chen Zhaoniang left, he wanted to get up too. At this moment, Zheng Yu suddenly dropped his wine glass and yelled loudly under the surprised eyes of the brothers: "Qin She This little bastard! Now and now he has managed to be above the rest of the class, what a good man who didn't live long enough to cause trouble for thousands of years!"

"That's right!" Zheng Wen also chimed in. "Sixth brother still ignores him when he asks him. He really thinks that he has become a prince."

"Even if Qin can't bear to be the heir, it's not the sixth brother's turn." The old nine, Zheng Rou, looked at the two singing together, pouted with disdain. "Why do you look jealous, don't look at your own virtues, and want to be the lord of Taiwan, what a dream!"

"Old Nine, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you have accepted the benefits of the little bitch and are willing to let him step on our brother's head." Zheng Yu stared, his tone was rather unfriendly. "And the second brother, the third brother, and the fifth brother, if you make a small profit, you will all be bribed by him."

"Enough!" Zheng Cong couldn't listen anymore, and threw away his chopsticks in a fit of rage. "Sixth, seventh, eighth, have your heads been stuffed with shit? What kind of son, are you worthy? What will the elder brother think if he hears it? Have you all forgotten why the fifth uncle surrendered back then? ?”

Zheng Kuan and the others suddenly became dumb. That’s right, there are bloody examples of the struggle for the highest power in the Zheng family. Zheng Xi and Zheng Tai are their lessons. preparation.

After being in the cold for a long time, Zheng Yu still couldn't hold back: "But, but, it's not necessarily possible for a bastard to inherit the clan."

"What did the woman surnamed Tang promise you? How dare you take such a big offense!" Zheng Ming glared at the two brothers. "This is the eldest brother's family business. It's too late for Yu and the second brother to pick themselves out. You don't want to watch the excitement and go to battle yourself. Isn't this asking for trouble? Listen to the third brother, you might as well be more careful about money. As for For the rest, don’t think too much about it.”

"That's right, that's right." Zheng Zhi also persuaded. "Brother is now raising us like pigs just like how the Ming dynasty raised vassal kings back then. If that's the case, then why disobey the elder brother's mind, insist on getting into trouble, and just focus on making a fortune. Besides, Qinshe still knows how to take care of us." Parents, if you don't take the opportunity, you can also make a profit, let alone when."

Seeing Zheng Cong and other elder brothers' persuasion, Zheng Kuan and others couldn't help falling into silence. Seeing that they were all dumb, Zheng Cong stood up and said, "That's all, that's all, let's go back and think about what to do. There is no way for misfortune or good fortune, don't seek your own death, it will be gone today"

Naturally, Zheng Kezang would not have known about the conversation here, but he couldn't relax at all when facing Dong Guotai: "Is grandma asking her grandson how to govern? My grandson is only 14 years old after the New Year's Eve , Before the sages have read through a few books, the grandmother asked her grandson whether the way of governing is a little too early?"

"Gan Luo has 15 chances to worship, and the little emperor on the other side can regain the imperial power from the powerful minister Obai at the age of 12. It can be seen that age has nothing to do with how to master the principles of governing the king." Dong Guotai's voice was soft , but every word hit Zheng Kezang's heart like a heavy hammer. "Old women in military training and wars don't understand, but old women can still understand that you imposed orders and prohibitions in the boy camp. This is not the handwriting of a [-]-year-old boy. It is not too much to say that you are young and mature." I know how to answer, but Dong Guotai's words are not finished yet. "Snow sugar, cement, and the implementation of immigration through Chen Yonghua may be a piece of cake, but when combined, the old woman is not the only one who can understand."

Having said all this, Zheng Kezang had to explain: "Grandmother, grandson just ran into it by mistake, and it was not intentional design. Besides, Mr. Chen's eyes are like a torch, and a group of sages gather around his father. If grandson How could they not stop something that is not good for Dongning?"

"I didn't say that you did something that was not good for Dongning, and no one said that you planned it on purpose." Dong Guotai still looked relaxed. "As for you to find the secret method and practice it, the old woman also thinks it is a good way to unite knowledge and action. The old woman wants to remind you that miscellaneous learning may be useful, and the sage's articles are not completely useless. The so-called king and tyrant only care about one mind. It may not be a good thing to change too much.”

Too contingency?Does Dong Guotai mean to tell herself to persist in doing things?Zheng Kezang is a little confused, but what are the sage articles and Wang Bazhi's theory for?Is it reminding myself that the current way of acting is too deceitful, and it is not the style that a heir should have?

Yes, yes, Zheng Kezang figured it out. Dong Guotai probably meant that the suggestion of immigrating to Taiwan could be proposed to Zhu Jin openly. After making a lot of foreshadowing, it was too low to use Chen Yonghua's methods. By the way, it really doesn't look like the demeanor of a heir to a feudal clan.

However, the old lady's advice is too wishful thinking. Zheng Kezang is very clear that, for example, the suggestion of immigrating to real Taiwan will never achieve the same result as Chen Yonghua's. He has already learned several profound lessons about this. .

Of course, Dong Guotai’s words were actually out of good intentions, not intentionally instigating herself to stand at the front desk to become a target for others, so after Zheng Kezang figured it out, he immediately bowed down: “Grandma’s teachings, my grandson understands!”

"You really understand?" Zheng Kezang nodded heavily. "Grandmother already knew that Qinshe was a smart child, all right, let's go, let's go!"

"Grandson will leave now"
