Chapter 71

Gui Xinshu shook Gui Erniang's hand as a sign of comfort, bowed deeply to Wu Liuqi, got up and said in a deep voice: "You three, my wife and I are old and dim-sighted, and fell into the trap of Wu Sangui, a traitor. The couple will definitely give an explanation to the three heroes of the world." Then, he pulled up Gui Erniang and Gui Zhong, and strode out of the mansion.

The three of them all knew that Gui's family felt guilty at the moment, and they didn't want to face the three of them again, so they didn't say anything to persuade them to stay.

Wu Liuqi led Zheng Kezang and Chen Jinnan to the back hall, and after the three of them took their seats, he asked Chen Jinnan, "Chief lord, shouldn't you return to Taiwan to report on your duties at this moment? Why did you come here suddenly?"

With sadness in his eyes, Chen Jinnan sighed and said, "Eldest Young Master, the lord is critically ill, I came here specially to look for you and go back to Taiwan with you."

"What!" Zheng Kezang's expression was shocked, the teacup in his right hand was crushed to pieces, the fragments of the teacup pierced the palm of his hand, drips of blood slipped down, and he still didn't know it.

Traveling through more than ten years, Zheng Jing has shown great care and love for Zheng Kezang. Zheng Kezang is not a heartless person, and he has already accepted this father in his heart. How can he not be sad when he hears the sad news now.

Zheng Kezang stood up, not wanting to delay any longer, he cupped his fists to Wu Liuqi and said, "Brother Wu, my father is seriously ill, and Kezang is really worried about him, so I won't stay any longer. The world is in chaos now, and it is we who overthrew the Qing court in one fell swoop." It's an excellent timing, and I need to trouble you a lot. Right now, the Qing court is weak, and I have to ask Brother Wu to dissuade Shang Kexi, and never respond to Wu Sangui to add momentum to him. When necessary, you might as well hold back Wu Sangui , to give the Qing court a chance to breathe, so that both the Qing court and Wu Sangui will suffer."

Wu Liuqi clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Eldest Young Master, the subordinates will act according to plan. The prince is critically ill, so the two subordinates will no longer be retained. Please take care of yourself."

"Farewell!" Zheng Kezang nodded heavily, turned and left without stopping.

Chen Jinnan also said goodbye to Wu Liuqi: "Brother Wu, take care!" followed closely behind.

The two rushed to Fujian without stopping.Fortunately, Fujian is adjacent to Guangzhou. After spending a whole day and night, the two finally boarded the warship back to Taiwan.

When the two rushed back to Taiwan and arrived at the Prince's Mansion in Yanping County, Zheng Jing was already dying.Maybe it's just to see Zheng Kezang for the last time, so he has been holding on.

Outside Zheng Jing's bedroom, before his sick bed, there were many people crying and kneeling, Mrs. Dong, Princess Tang, other descendants of Zheng Jing headed by Zheng Keshuang, other children of the Zheng family, and even the civil and military ministers of the Ming Zheng Dynasty headed by Liu Guoxuan.

"Husband, my father has been waiting for you, so hurry up and go in." In front of Zheng Jing's bedroom, Chen Yan'er hurried up to greet her, her eyes were a little red and swollen from crying.

"En." Zheng Kezang nodded lightly, patted Chen Yan'er on the shoulder, walked quickly into the palace, wept before Zheng Jing's sick bed, and sobbed: "Father, my son is back."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back..." Zheng Jing slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zheng Kezang, his eyes were full of gratification, as if returning to the light, his whole body was slightly refreshed, he held Zheng Kezang's hand tightly, and said softly Said: "Zang'er, you have done a good job! All these years, all the civil and military officials of the court have seen your deeds, very good! My father has ordered you to inherit the throne, and you will definitely do better than my father. King is better."

"Father..." Although he knew there would be such a day, but when this time came, Zheng Kezang could only feel mixed feelings and couldn't tell what it was like.

Zheng Jing continued: "I only have one wish as a father, and I hope you can agree to it, Zang'er..." Looking at Zheng Kezang with expectations in his eyes.

Zheng Kezang nodded emphatically, and assured him: "Father, please rest assured, I promise you, no matter what, I will ensure that my grandmother, queen mother, and younger brothers live a safe life and have no worries about food and clothing."

"It's good like this...it's good..." Zheng Jing smiled, and he had nothing to worry about so far, and slowly closed his eyes.

Zheng Kezang stood up slowly, with a sad face, and said loudly: "Father, you are dead..."

"Son..."

"Husband..."

"Father..."

"My lord..."

In front of Zheng Jing's sick bed, and even the entire Yanping County Palace, there were cries and cries.

On the day of Zheng Jing's funeral, the whole Taiwan was in inexplicable grief, and the whole country shared the same grief. Every household hung up white lanterns. There were white curtains, white tents, white sails, and white lanterns on the upper and lower levels of the Yanping County Prince's Mansion. An inexplicable sense of grief and sorrow shrouded the sky over the Prince's Mansion of Yanping County.

Three days later, Zheng Jing went to the funeral and was buried next to Zheng Chenggong's tomb of King Wu, with the posthumous title of "King Wen".

The funeral ceremony lasted for a whole day, starting in the early morning and ending in the evening when everyone left Zheng Jing's King Wen's Tomb in batches.

Zheng Kezang and Chen Yan'er did not leave. As the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, the couple decided to keep mourning for Zheng Jing for another four days in front of the mausoleum, so that the number of heads would be seven.

The night was getting darker and colder than water, Zheng Kezang gently put on the cloak for Chen Yan'er, and said with concern: "Yan'er, it's cold in the night, you put on this cloak, don't catch a cold and hurt your body."

"En." Chen Yan'er nodded slightly, and asked with some puzzlement: "According to common sense, my husband should inherit the throne first, and then mourn for my father, but why do you do the opposite, my husband, and mourn first. Wait until after the first seven days before inheriting the throne? Now the government and the public are full of voices, talking about everything, and even some people are talking about it. It is your husband who knows that you are not capable enough, so you dare not inherit the throne..."

Zheng Kezang said indifferently: "Father was originally in the prime of his life, so he has not yet decided on a successor to the throne, but this time he passed away suddenly, and before he died, he made me the next king of Yanping County. There must be many people who are dissatisfied. The reason why I have to wait until after the first seven days to inherit the throne is to see who will jump up and down during the seven days."

Chen Yan'er frowned slightly, and muttered: "Madame Dong and the rest of her party are all scheming people, although Zheng Keshuang is the most impatient, but you were scared just now, and now I wish I could avoid you in everything , and Feng Xifan is extremely treacherous, I'm afraid he won't be able to jump out to make trouble as your husband wishes, right?"

Zheng Kezang sneered and said, "Yan'er, I don't know your worries, but they are not the ones I'm waiting for. The enemies that have been exposed are not scary, I'm afraid of those stupid fools who don't know when they will do something. Some stupid things, if not done properly, will have an unpredictable impact on our plans. The so-called 'Don't be afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs'. Now I have given them such a great opportunity, just to get rid of such idiots It has been exposed. I have dispatched all the Dark Eagle Battalions, and I think they will gain a lot in the past few days. After four days, I will inherit the throne, and the first fire will be burned on their heads."
