Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 39 The up-and-coming Zheng Damu
Zheng Damu felt that this time was an eye-opener. With a bit of a student mind, he was not very sensitive to the political struggles of these factions. He came today mainly to find an opportunity to meet with his fourth uncle and catch up on the old days. When Qian Yi was kneeling behind him, he saw the emperor for the first time in his life, and he was immediately attracted by the royal aura. Zhu Yousong's handsome features were full of sunshine, especially the black eyes under the two thick eyebrows were as bright as stars, full of heroic spirit His face was full of sunshine and vigor, which shocked him, the emperor is so young?
No wonder Zheng Damu has such an idea. In fact, Zhu Yousong's actual biological age is not a few years older than him.

He quickly saw the fourth uncle next to the emperor, fully armed and mighty as the heavenly descendant, although they were relatives and nephews, but the fourth uncle was an official in the court, and he returned to his hometown from Japan when he was six years old. I haven't seen each other a few times. At this time, Zheng Damu saw his fourth uncle standing majesticly near the emperor, and thought that he was a high-ranking official in Jinyiwei who was in awe of all officials. His fourth uncle was really promising, and he wanted to learn from him. .

But his fourth uncle didn't see him at this time, Zheng Damu planned to wait for the opportunity to get close to his fourth uncle.

At this time, the situation suddenly changed. Zhu Yousong changed his tone of congratulations and began to question Ma Shiying's party. Feeling filled with righteous indignation, I couldn't help scolding Ma Shiying and other treacherous sycophants for taking power, deceiving the emperor and harming the country.I also know that it is false that the emperor came to the mansion today to congratulate the courtiers, but it is true to take the opportunity to punish the traitors. The horse party is powerful, this is the emperor's strategy.

But he also thought of Qian Qianyi, who learned high school as a teacher and Degao as a fan. This is because his father spent a lot of money to entrust his favor to find such a good teacher who is not only educated and rich, but also a member of the dynasty. Minister of the Ministry of Rites, a second-rank official, he has always been a god in my mind, but why did the teacher come to congratulate the gangsters? Could it be that the teacher has something to do with these gangsters or was he kept in the dark in advance?The teacher is talented in literature, knowledgeable about the past and the present, and usually teaches himself how to cultivate himself, manage the family, govern the country and the world. Wouldn't he be a sanctimonious hypocrite?

Zheng Damu got into a fight when he was thinking wildly, the young man did not look like he came to the Imperial College to study literature with Qian Qianyi, but he was not a frail student, he came from a family of pirates, his father and several uncles were all masters in fighting, He has also practiced some boxing and spear skills since he was a child. The so-called art is bold.Therefore, although Zheng Damu experienced this kind of scene for the first time, he was not afraid. At this time, he thought more about whether his teacher was a traitor or not.

But soon he had the answer. Qian Qianyi and Shi Kefa in front of him did not respond to Ma Shiying's so-called "Qingjun side". When he didn't know much about government affairs, he still pointed out the current malpractice, scolded Ma Shiying for how he exercised power, and scolded Ruan Dacheng for his low character, but later he said that he would bring himself to congratulate Governor Ma. I was so happy that I didn't dare to speak hastily. Today I understood that the teacher and the treacherous party are definitely not in the same group. As for congratulating the government today, it is at most a superficial article or a forced exchange of courtesy.

Thinking of this, afraid of hurting the teacher, Zheng Damu protected Qian Qianyi and Shi Kefa who came with him leaned towards the emperor and his fourth uncle.If Ma Shiying's henchmen jumped to his side, Zheng Damu would unceremoniously put them down.

But Zheng Damu's reaching out caused Jin Yiwei's misunderstanding, and he was surrounded by Ma Shiying's party.

Although Qian Qianyi, Shi Kefa, and Zheng Damu explained to the Jinyi guards that they were not Ma Shiying's party, no one listened to them at this time. The duty of these Jinyi guards was to eliminate all factors that might pose a threat to the emperor.

Zheng Damu saw that he couldn't explain it, so he had no choice but to protect himself. He couldn't let these Jinyi guards hurt himself and his mentor. Don't look at the number of Jinyi school captains, who are armed with knives and guns, but he wanted to catch and bind Zheng Damu couldn't do it at all, and Captain Jinyi who rushed over as soon as Zheng Damu showed his power was beaten up and down.

Zheng Hongkui, who was guarding the emperor's escort, soon found Zheng Damu in the crowd (author's note: Zheng Chenggong's name was Fusong when he was a child, his teacher named him Zheng Sen after entering school, and Qian Qianyi later named him Damu.) He was very surprised, "This Isn't it Sen'er? Why is this kid here?"

But Zheng Hongkui didn't have time to think about this, when he saw clearly that his nephew had knocked down one after another Jinyi school lieutenant, he was frightened out of his wits.

Could it be that this little beast is also part of Ma Shiying's party?This is fatal!
Because these Donglin parties have always opposed the imperial court, if Qian Qianyi and Shi Kefa also took refuge in Ma Shiying, Zheng Sen would be following his teacher in troubled waters. Being suspected of rebellion is not a big deal, but killing his family is a big deal. Being an uncle can't get rid of the responsibility, think about it, how can Zheng Hongkui not be afraid?
"This beast is trying to harm our old Zheng's family!" Zheng Hongkui cursed in his heart, and drew a knife to take Zheng Damu directly, and he wanted to kill his relatives righteously.

Zheng Damu was fighting smoothly, when Zheng Hongkui saw a powerful shadow in front of him, "Beast, do you know what you are doing, I will kill you!" It was a knife in the chest.

Zheng Damu saw that it was his fourth uncle, how could he dare to fight back, he threw a knife and fell to his knees, "Fourth uncle!"

"Who is your fourth uncle, you are my ancestor!" Zheng Hongkui's temper was like a fire.

"Fourth Uncle, listen to me..."

"What's there to say, I'll kill you, you bastard!" Zheng Hongkui was furious. At this time, he was in a mood of hating iron but not steel, or he had no choice but to raise the butcher's knife at his nephew.

"General Zheng, I want to live!" At the critical moment, Zhu Yousong shouted from behind.

Of course Zhu Yousong also noticed this young man with extraordinary skills. Now only Ma Luan, Ma Shiying, Zhao Zhilong, and Zheng Damu were left to resist.

Although Zhu Yousong doesn't know Zheng Damu yet, he only knows that he is very skilled, but he risked his life to protect Qian Qianyi and Shi Kefa. Song concluded that this young man full of martial arts should not be part of Ma Shiying's party and could not kill innocent people indiscriminately, so he shouted at Zheng Hongkui: "General Zheng, I want to live!"

Zhu Yousong's words are equivalent to saving Zheng Damu's life, otherwise according to Zhu Yousong's will, if he resists, he will be killed. Regardless of his good skills, Zheng Damu will die in the end. Even his uncle Zheng Hongkui dare not cover him.

Zheng Hongkui withdrew his knife and kicked him to the ground. Zheng Damu was quickly tied up tightly by Jin Yiwei who rushed over.

Zheng Hongkui escorted Zheng Damu and knelt down in front of Zhu Yousong to plead guilty. At the same time, Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi, who were tied up, knelt down in front of Zhu Yousong.

When Zhu Yousong figured out what was going on, and learned that the thick-headed young man in front of him was Zheng Chenggong, a national hero who will go down in history, he stood in awe and loosened the rope for Zheng Damu himself, "Those who don't know are innocent."
