Empress Xiaozhao

C62 The Internal Fighting of Zheng Family

At this time, the four officials who were in charge of the government also found out about the news of King Yanping's death. So after some discussion, the four of them arranged for the Duke of Jing Nan, Geng Jiimu, and the Governor of Jing Nan, Li Shuai, to send people over to help. In order to remove Qing Jun's threat, Zheng Jing proposed to join the Qing Dynasty's tribute system, and Zheng Jing used this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Kang Xi.

Emperor Kang Xi had no reason to reject, so he pointed out: "North Korea has never been a foreign country, and Zheng Jing is from China." This was why Emperor Kang Xi was still hesitating. In short, no matter what, Zheng Jing had gotten the chance he wanted. Zheng Jing then used this opportunity to attack Tainan on the first day of November. During this battle, Huang Zhao was shot to death by arrows, and the other generals all surrendered. After Zheng Jing's victory, he entered An Ping City and executed Xiao Guanchen and the others. He also placed Zheng Zhe under house arrest in the Xiamen, ending the internal conflict.

Because Zheng Jing wanted to take the throne, in matters of the Xiamen and the Golden Gate, Zheng Jing could only rely on her own mother, the Madame Zheng. "It was also because of this that Zheng Jing knew he could no longer take care of the Chen family. Mother, your son knows that he was wrong, but please consider the contributions of the Chen family in giving birth to his son and circumvent the Chen family. "

Zheng Jing had to retreat in order to advance, and submit to his own mother. Only by doing this would he be able to save the Chen mother and son's lives. It was just that in the end, Zheng Jing had still underestimated his own mother, the Madame Zheng. I should definitely be careful when my son leaves this world. Just as you said, for the sake of the child, even I, as your mother, cannot be so heartless. "

Madame Zheng's reply was quite tactful, but after Zheng Jing left the Xiamen, he immediately had the servants beside him pour in the poison that they had prepared. Looking at Lady Chen, Madame Zheng seemed to once again see the complacent Lady Liu in front of him. It was still such a humble body, but it was always a feeling of pity when I saw it.

"Do you know why I hate you so much? Blame yourself for having such a face! " Madame Zheng never forgot to promise his son that he would be poisoned. Furthermore, in the eyes of the Madame Zheng, if he were to kill Lady Chen and her son and distract Zheng Jing right now, that would not be the result he wanted. In regards to the clan members of the Zheng's family in Tainan, those restless people, the Madame Zheng s, were all in favor of what their son had done.

To the Madame Zheng, other than him and his husband's son, no one else was qualified to inherit the title of King Yanping. This was why she did not immediately kill Chen Clan. It was also a plan by Madame Zheng to pacify his son who had gone to war in the southern region of the Taiwan Strait.

Kang Xi returned to Siming on the second month of the first month. In June, with his uncle Zheng Tai supporting Huang Zhaozhong, Zheng Zhaozhong rejected him, pretending to offer him wine and invite him to a meeting to subdue and kill him. After Zheng Tai's death, his younger brothers Zheng Mingjun, and his son Zheng Yuen entered Quanzhou at once. In October, the Qing government mobilized their army, joining with the army and the Dutch fleet to attack the Jin'jia. Zheng Jing was no match for them and retreated to the Tong Shan (Dongshan County). Just then, Geng Jimao and Li Qun Tai sent people to stop him. Zheng Jing was still in the middle of the discussion, and said: "If you want to cut your hair and climb to the shore, even if you die, you cannot."

Emperor Kang Xi thought that the conditions that would move Zheng Jing were the same. However, Zheng Jing rejected him. In the end, Zheng Jing had still inherited his father's wish. Even if it wasn't for the fact that Zheng Jing wanted to contend against the Qing Dynasty, the people of the Zheng's family, supported by Zheng Zhilong's financial resources, wouldn't be willing to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. The massacre city in Yangzhou for three days was not a place where one could wipe the traces with a handkerchief.

After the negotiations with the Qing Dynasty had failed, Zheng Jing returned to the EastNing Heavenly Manor. And Madame Zheng's original King Yanping Concubine, now the old Grand Concubine, was about to become the other Empress Lu who interfered with the politics of the imperial court. Especially after two years of Kang Xi's treatment of the Chen family, Madame Zheng's medicine volume had increased.

"Since our son has already obtained the throne, there is no longer any need for the Chen Clan to stay." Madame Zheng had long since mastered the ability of Mount Tai to remain calm even before its collapse. You don't need to feel that I, as your mother, am making things difficult for you. As long as you don't make any mistakes, you will always be your King Yanping's concubine. As long as you give birth to the first grandson of your mother, even the Prince won't be able to do anything to you. " Madame Zheng's face was full of certainty.

However, Grand Concubine Zheng also knew that it was enough, so she didn't interfere much with the court. Only, Madam Zheng had accepted many women who were similar to the Chen family's style for her son, the King Yanping. From the moment Shun Zhi found out that his son treated the Chen family differently, to the seventeen years old Madame Zheng found out that his son did something abnormal, the Madame Zheng had been planning to get rid of the Chen family.

Maybe because he knew too much about his mother, Zheng Jing protected her well, until Shun Zhi found out about this matter that went against the rules. Zheng Wangfei was the one who truly had the intention to kill, but the plan for this matter could never keep up with the changes. The Chen family was lucky to have lived a few more years.

In these three years, Kang Xi had managed to increase the amount of medicinal herbs used by Grand Concubine Zheng, so he had long been forgotten by Zheng Jing. If not for the fact that Shun Zhi was born eighteen years old, perhaps he would not have left any traces in the palace of the Sky Bearing Empire. Now that he had seen many women of the Chen family's type, the Chen family was already old and decrepit. No matter how charming it is, can it be compared to those beanstalk girls? "

Just as the Dong Taifei predicted, Lady Chen died without a sound. And Zheng Kezang was only five years old, if not for Zheng Jing personally taking care of a little kid by his side, with the relationship between father and son, he would probably have had another child accompanying the Chen family.

Even though her beauty had yet to be beheaded by the old monarch, the Chen family had only spent a year in the Sky Bearing Empire. Thus, they had already quieted down. Until death, she had not been able to see Zheng Jing, the second person to become the King Yanping, so naturally, the Chen family did not inform the King Yanping that the master in Jian Jia Hall, was already dead. And Zheng Kezang could only know that he had lost his own mother.

Kang Xi had finally become pregnant after four years. " After all, this is your first time, so you can't not be too careful. " The only thing Grand Concubine Zheng could do was to say these words. Maybe her status had changed, or maybe her state of mind was different. From the moment Kang Xi had entered the Sky Bearing Empire, the relationship between Tang Shi and his wife had eased up quite a bit.

At least, Zheng Jing was still willing to accept him as a direct wife, and not blindly reject him. Seeing the change in Zheng Jing and Tang Shi, Grand Concubine Zheng could only watch from the sidelines and did not express any opinions towards the two.

During the time that Tang Shi was pregnant, Tang Shi also gave his authority as an imperial concubine to his wife, Huang Shi. Little sister, all these years I have seen your performance. "Now, I'm afraid I can't take it anymore. If I go, I hope it's sister who helps me raise the child." Tang Shi's prediction was correct, it was true that Tang Shi did not manage to endure through this round of production.

Kang Xi gave birth to his son Zheng Keshuang in five years, but Tang Shi himself died without being able to treat him. Other than the presence of Huang Shi at that time, the Dong Taifei s who wanted to know the results were also present. As his mother-in-law, Dong Taifei heard Tang Shi's words.

"Just agree." In the delivery room, the midwife cried out with shock and fear. Even if Dong Taifei wanted to pretend that he did not know something had happened, he would not be able to accomplish such a feat with his wife's massive bleeding. Dong Taifei waved away his servant in order to support his hand. Seeing Huang Shi's seemingly hesitant appearance, Dong Taifei naturally had some feelings for his daughter-in-law who had been with him for almost ten years.

"In order to prevent Tang Shi from dying with regret like this, the Dong Taifei hurriedly urged Huang Shi to agree. "Don't worry, your child will definitely take good care of you. Not to mention others, even your mother will not let him treat her well." After countless hardships, Tang Shi had finally left the Zheng Family with a son.

When Huang Shi nodded in agreement, he took a glance at his son who was being carried by his wet nurse. Thinking that his son could not be sick since he was young, Tang Shi immediately let his son go without even giving him a hug.

"In the future, this child will be your biological son. I believe you understand what your son is like right now even without this old woman's words." He looked at the child that the wet nurse passed to him. After confirming that it was undoubtedly a boy, Dong Taifei didn't forget to beat his own son's side room with his words. The love between Tang Shi and his son might not really be something that could be entrusted to a child.

Tang Shi was worried about nothing, and could probably guess what kind of gamble the Dong Taifei was playing. " You are different, I believe you understand the difference between you and Tang Shi. So if you raise your child in your name, treat him like your own son. Will the child not be filial to you in the future? "

Huang Shi looked at Zheng Keshuang who was eating under a servant's care, who was already two years old. In comparison to Zheng Keshuang, the elder brother, other than Zheng Jing, the King Yanping, the group of elders that were attached to Zheng Jing also cared a lot more about him.

"As long as you raise your child properly, the position of King Yanping's successor will be yours." This was Dong Taifei's promise to Huang Shi. Being able to be a side room with Huang Shi's status was already a heavenly blessing, and now that the Dong Taifei had promised Huang Shi such a huge benefit like a stepwife, as a woman who had come out of hard times, Huang Shi knew what he needed and what he could get.

So Huang Shi's heart was moved, and very quickly, he reached an agreement with the Dong Taifei. Huang Shi was born of a lowly background, but as the stepwife of the King Yanping, his status couldn't be low when compared to Tang Shi, the main wife.
