Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

The Spring Festival Zhengdan in the 35th year of the Yongli calendar is the grand court meeting hosted by Zhu Jin in Taiwan again after a lapse of seven years. With a fresh face, Zhu Jin felt that things were different from others, but the long-term deliberate waste of life's binge drinking and prostitution seriously damaged Zhu Jin's health, and the grand court that took less than two hours actually made him not able to bear the heavy burden while sitting and presiding.

"Father will let his ministers do the pilgrimage to his grandfather's ancestral temple." Seeing Zhu Jin's weakness, Zheng Kezang suggested so.

Zhu Jin nodded, then grabbed Zheng Kezang's hand and said softly, "Let your father-in-law and Wu Pingbo stay with you."

The low voice made Zheng Kezang's eyes turn red, and he took the order to leave. After more than two hours, Zheng Kezang, who had completed a whole set of tedious ceremonies, returned to the Yinluan Hall. At this time, Chen Yonghua and Liu Guoxuan were no longer there. Now, leaning on that lonely throne with closed eyes and meditating, Zhu Jin's sallow face seemed as ugly as a dead person.Seeing this situation, Zheng Kezang couldn't help slowing down his pace, but Zhu Jin still opened his eyes sensitively.

"Qinshe is back, and the ceremonies have been completed, that's good, that was the most annoying thing for Gu back then." Zheng Kezang watched Zhu Jin slowly sit up straight. "Come on, play with my father, I don't know what's wrong with my body recently." Zhu Jin nagged, and Zheng Kezang hurriedly helped him up. "I guess your grandmother is waiting in a hurry, let's go there together"

Due to Zhu Jin's return, the seats that had been implemented for many years were adjusted. Zhu Jinggao sat in the middle, and Dong Guotai, who brought Zheng Keshuang, took Zheng Kezang's original position, and Zheng Kezang moved to the opposite side of Dong Guotai. Sitting at the bottom of Dong Guotai's seat, Zheng Cong sat next to Zheng Kezang

"Qinshe, pour wine for your grandmother and your uncles on behalf of my father." Zhu Jin ordered, and under the stimulation of alcohol, his face turned unhealthily rosy. Of course Zheng Kezang did so, and waited for him to drink After finishing a circle, Zhu Jin stretched out his hand to solicit. "Come, come here." Zheng Kezang walked in front of Zhu Jin without knowing why, and Zhu Jin pointed to the seat next to him. "Sit down." Zheng Kezang sat down obediently, and Zhu Jin glanced at his son with satisfaction, then raised his glass. "It can be said that Gu has accomplished nothing, but he finally gave birth to a good son. The foundation of the Zheng family is entrusted to him. Even though Gu is dead, he will rest in peace."

There was an uproar in the audience, and Zheng Kezang immediately turned over and fell to his knees: "Father, how can a son be able to afford this family business even if he is young, besides, the father will live a long life, today's Chinese New Year, please invite the father It’s better to take back that unlucky sentence.”

"I know my own body." Seeing Dong Guotai with a serious face, Zhu Jin nodded slightly. "However, what Qinshe said is right. Today is Zhengdan, and I can't say anything when I'm frustrated. Come on, let's drink this cup together." With everyone dumbfounded, Zhu Jin drank it all in one gulp, and then Zhu Jin looked around the audience. "Why, is there no one to drink alone?" Dong Guotai sighed softly, grabbed the wine glass, and set an example first, Zheng Kezang also hurriedly followed suit, and at their lead, a group of Zheng's clan hurriedly picked up the wine glass and followed After drinking it, seeing the chaos in the hall, Zhu Jin seemed to laugh a little smugly. "It's been so many years. It's a pity that Zhao Niang and He Niang can't see that Qin She and Qin She have grown up, but don't worry, Gu will go to accompany them soon."

Zheng Kezang knelt down again, and said in a tone that was almost choked with sobs: "My father, my mother must not want to see my father so early, and my mother may want to reincarnate as soon as possible to continue my relationship with my father."

"But I can't wait any longer." Zhu Jin shook his head and waved to the silent people in the hall. The Zheng family members who had been pardoned retreated one after another, leaving only Dong Guotai, Zheng Keshuang, Li Shuniang, Zheng Keju and Zheng Kezang's wives and concubines. . "I can't say, even the child in Gulian's slender belly is reluctant to meet."

Dong Guotai suddenly stood up and turned around, obviously she couldn't listen any more, but Zhu Jin didn't stand up to see him off --- it wasn't that he was unfilial, but in fact he couldn't stand up at all --- looking at Dong Guotai's back, Zhu Jin stretched out his hand to call Zheng Keshuang over, Li Shunniang also hugged the child and knelt down in front of Zhu Jin: "Qin She, you must treat Qin She kindly in the future, as for Shun Niang mother and son, you, the eldest brother, also take care of her. "

Zheng Kezang kowtowed to Zhu Jin with tears streaming down his face. Zheng Keshuang was also sensible. He glanced left at his strange father and then at his weeping elder brother. He lowered his head and his face was pale. But Zhu Jin smiled: "Gu is not dead yet, you, you should laugh."

As he said that, Zhu Jin tried to stand up with the arm of the chair, but failed several times. Zheng Kezang looked up and saw him, and hurriedly helped him up: "It's a shame, it's a shame, by the way, Qinshe, Shangyuan Festival Are the lights ready? The people of Taiwan have suffered for a long time, and it is rare to have this opportunity to make them happy and happy."

Back in the inner courtyard, Zhu Jin was immediately bedridden. From this day on, Zheng Kezang summoned more than a dozen imperial physicians to wait all night, and moved his residence to Zhu Jin's outer room. However, it was impossible to completely block the news. Soon everyone in Dongning knew the news of Zhu Jin's indecision, and cases of praying for Zhu Jin appeared in various parts of Taiwan.

Once Zhu Jin became ill, the people in Taiwan were naturally worried that their lives would be turbulent because of this, so it is not surprising to pray for him.But apart from Zheng Kezang, Feng Xifan should be the most concerned about Zhu Jin's condition.Feng Xifan knew that the reason why Zheng Kezang didn't continue to attack him was because he looked at Zhu Jin's face. Once Zhu Jin left, he could imagine what would happen to him.For this reason, in addition to inviting Taoist priests and monks to pray for Zhu Jin's longevity, he also went to Liu Guoxuan's house twice in a few days, and tried to marry Liu Guoxuan, but the old and cunning Liu Guoxuan was unwilling to bet on Feng Xifan easily. , so ultimately failed.As a last resort, Feng Xifan paid homage to Dong Guotai in person, hoping to preserve the Feng family by marrying Zheng Keshuang and leave a chance to make a comeback.

"What? Congratulations?" Zheng Kezang looked at Dong Guotai in surprise. Of course he understood the key point, but political struggles are life-and-death, so how could he keep Feng Xifan, a scourge. "Does grandma mean to let Qin She get married now? Could it be too early, Qin She's body hasn't grown up yet, this, this?"

"Of course I won't consummate the house now." Dong Guotai is also considering the marriage for his second grandson. Zhu Jin is not much to come, and she is not much better. If the two pass away one after another, will Zheng Kezang make this growing up? How about a half-brother as a thorn in the side?She can't guarantee this. After all, Zhu Jin has a criminal record, but if he can marry a minister like Feng Xifan, not to mention that Zheng Keshuang can have a place in the political map of the Ming Zheng regime, but at least Zheng Keshuang can be preserved under the protection of the Yue family. life. "It's just a ceremony."

"But why did you choose Feng Xifan's daughter?" Of course Zheng Kezang would not harm Zheng Keshuang, he just opposed the marriage with Feng Xifan. "Yu remembers that the Feng family's daughter is not outstanding in appearance, and she is much older than Qin She. It's not suitable. If it's not suitable, can't you choose a daughter from another family?"

"Firstly, the time is tight, but there is no time to choose; secondly, Mr. Feng also intends to marry." Dong Guotai has already treated Zheng Kezang as the master of Dongning as an equal. "As for her daughter being older than Qin She, that's actually good, so that she can take good care of Qin She in the future."

It is really not easy for Dong Guotai to put down his dignity and communicate with his grandchildren like this, but Zheng Kezang was very embarrassed by this, so he tried to persuade Dong Guotai to change: "Grandmother, I still remember that the daughter of Huai'an Hou's family is beautiful. Well, I'm only two years older than Qin She, please let Qin She marry this girl."

Huai'an Hou was the title of Shen Rui, Duke Shun Shun of the Qing Dynasty who surrendered to Ming Zheng. Shen Rui was only one year older than Zheng Kezang at this time, so naturally he had no daughter. The so-called daughter of Huai'an Hou's family refers to Shen Rui's uncle, The daughter of Shen Yongxing, the third-generation Sushun Gong, said that Shen Rui married Zheng Bin's daughter after entering Taiwan. If Zheng Keshuang married his younger sister, it would be a closer relationship. After Jin, he continued to save a lot, and Zheng Kezang's intention was already on paper, that is, let Zheng Keshuang be a rich man with no worries about food and clothing in his life.

But how could Dong Guotai be satisfied with marrying a descendant general? She looked at Zheng Kezang displeasedly: "Qin She, Qin She is your own brother."

"It's because Qin She is Yu's younger brother that Yu couldn't bear to push him into the fire." Zheng Kezang's words surprised Dong Guotai at the time, and she listened to Zheng Kezang's explanation. "Under the rules of the Ming Dynasty, King Zong can't marry the daughters of courtiers, but only girls from innocent families. Why is this? It's because the courtiers are afraid of relying on the power of King Zong to do whatever they want." Zheng Kezang paused. "Feng Xifan can be said to have a high position and authority in this domain, but why is he still keen to marry Yu and Qin She? It is nothing more than to better seize power. Grandma, how can a daughter of such a family be included in the Zheng family? Grandma, one step is wrong If you make mistakes every step of the way, don’t be mistaken with good intentions.”

Dong Guotai's complexion suddenly changed, but Zheng Kezang's words stirred up ripples in her heart like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening. She couldn't help thinking of Feng Xifan's attitude, but the other party's always respectful attitude made her unable to tell which was right. What's wrong, in desperation he could only sigh: "Qin She, your father told you to treat Qin She kindly, and the old lady also said the same thing. From now on, Qin She's marriage will be entrusted to you. Don't let me down What about the expectations of your father and your grandmother."

"Grandmother, don't worry." Zheng Kezang promised. "I will send someone to propose to Shen's family now. In short, I will settle the matter within a day or two, so as to make my father happy." Dong Guotai left, but Zheng Kezang was a little fidgety. Could it be that Feng Xifan's final counterattack Is this the means?Impossible, absolutely impossible, maybe this is a trick to show the enemy weak, if you really believe it, maybe there will be disasters in the blink of an eye. "Come on, call Jin Nineteen to Yu." Zheng Kezang's chief servant quickly appeared. "Go and prepare a chain mail, and bring the short firearms I bought." Jin Shijiu shook his head, as if thinking of something terrible, but he and Zheng Kezang were on the same rope. Grasshopper, what Zheng Kezang says, he can only do as he says. "Don't think wildly." Zheng Kezang looked at his face and explained. "There is only one seat, the more you can't relax now."

Jin Shijiu got excited and immediately responded: "Your servant understands
