Empress Xiaozhao

C61 The Confucian Scholars in the World

A mere eight words was enough to show the anger the scholars of the Southern Ming Dynasty were having towards Zheng Jing for doing such a thing. At this time, Zheng Chenggong was already very angry because his father had been executed. Therefore, Zheng Chenggong had sent his clan brother to the Xiamen to execute Zheng Jing, the unfilial son, together with his wife, the Dong.

But Zheng Chenggong didn't agree. Now, Zheng Chenggong felt that this son of his could only make him lose face. If he only killed the Chen family and that evil son of his, that would not be enough. Therefore, Zheng Chenggong had to switch people to carry out his orders. Dong had been doing a lot of things in the Zheng Family for the past few years. As a result, they still had a lot of connections with the Zheng Family. Thus, under the operation of the Dong and Tang Shi, the matter of the generals defying orders once again occurred.

Zheng Jing had found out about his own brother's wet nurse, and he was's wife, so he had to give his to a servant. Of course, if Zheng Jing had a secret relationship, it wouldn't be accepted by Zheng Chenggong, and even as a mother, Zheng Dong wouldn't be able to accept her son doing something so outrageous. Thus, the Zheng Dong himself let his daughter-in-law spread the news of this matter. Because the Zheng Dong found out that as a mother, he could not be filial to her son. This was something that the Zheng Dong could not accept.

It was just that Zheng Dong did not expect that he would be angered by his husband, which made his even more dissatisfied. Towards his own son, Zheng Dong had always resented that he had failed. As the leader of the Zheng's family s, Zheng Dong had to always do the best in order to obtain his position in the Zheng's family. The Zheng Dong had always been the best mistress. After Zheng Chenggong broke up with his own father, the Zheng Dong had to pacify the Zheng's family clansmen who had followed Zheng Chenggong, and even take care of the wives and children of the Zheng's family's followers.

It was also because of Zheng Dong's attitude that when Zheng Chenggong wanted to kill Zheng Dong, there would be a subordinate who would protest against such a thing. The Madame Zheng was in Fujian and had many eyes and ears that could help the Madame Zheng look for information. Thus, when the Young Mistress had a few things he wanted to do, Madame Zheng called his daughter-in-law over.

"After receiving her education in front of the Madame Zheng, Madam Zheng let her help the servant girl bring her back to her own main courtyard. Young Mistress, could it be that Madam is just joking? After all, no matter how close you are with her, she is merely a daughter-in-law! " As Zheng Tang Shi's wet nurse, the mama had always been most concerned about her young mistress' matters.

"Nanny, you don't have to worry. How could I not know who my mother-in-law is?" Before marrying into the Zheng Family, Tang Shi had already used silver to investigate the Zheng Family's relationship. After all, Tang Shi was the military head of the direct daughter. However, Zheng Jing did not like such a lady from a noble family. It was because he had taken a fancy to his fourth brother's wet nurse. Not only that, he had even bore a son to this lowly person.

Even though the teachings that Tang Shi had received were three, four, and three, Tang Shi was not able to suppress his anger. Your mother-in-law has hated these lowly maidservants the most in her life, so how could she not like me, her daughter-in-law? " As the best daughter-in-law, Tang Shi deeply liked her. It was not only because Tang Shi had the same noble manner as the Dong himself. More importantly, Tang Shi understood what the Dong liked.

That year, when Zheng Chenggong went to the north to fight against the Manchu soldiers, the Zheng's family clansmen guarded the Xiamen, causing it to be occupied by the Manchu soldiers. During the process of the Xiamen's occupation, because it was unexpected, the Madame Zheng could only carry the young son of the Zheng's family's ancestor and flee in panic. Amongst the people from the Zheng's family who were caught out, there were many of them. When Zheng Chenggong returned to the Xiamen, he saw the dilapidated walls of the Xiamen. Zheng Chenggong used martial law to deal with the brother of the Zheng's family, who was guarding the Xiamen. And the people who died in the fall of the Xiamen were Zheng Chenggong's first wife and young children.

This wife was the concubine that Zheng Chenggong shared a few years ago and was also the daughter of Zheng Chenggong's wet nurse. If it was only a obedient servant, perhaps Madame Zheng would not be so scheming. Yet, this servant had a pathetic life, deluding herself to fly up the branch and become a phoenix. Especially after he gave birth to Zheng Chenggong's son, he was merely a bastard, but was treated like a pearl by Zheng Chenggong.

How could Madame Zheng take this lying down! She was originally just a concubine and could only be considered a master's life that was slightly better than a servant's, yet she had delusions of wanting to replace the Mrs. Ching. The Dong would obviously not let go of such a great opportunity. Then Mrs You and the bastard child must have also died, the Madame Zheng must have taken this chance to get rid of this huge threat in her heart.

"Darling, if little sister knows underground, she definitely wouldn't want Darling to be so virtuous." When Zheng Chenggong searched throughout the entire Xiamen, but didn't find his own son or his own concubine, what Zheng Chenggong received was his own wife's consolation. Why didn't Darling regroup and reclaim my great fortune? " Zheng Chenggong still had not forgotten his mission. Thus, even though he felt sad, he suppressed his sorrow.

This matter had become a memory in Madame Zheng's mind. Until Zheng Jing guarded the Golden Gate and had an affair with her fourth brother's wet nurse. Madame Zheng obviously could not tolerate this kind of thing, so she searched for someone to drown her. But she could do nothing as Zheng Jing, who had been soft and pliable for so many years, had begun to resist him. This was something that the Madame Zheng could not tolerate, and all of this was blamed on the Chen family.

Madame Zheng could not find the Chen family that Zheng Jing was hiding in, nor could he get close to the evil child that Chen family was giving birth to. As a result, when he found out that his daughter-in-law wanted to tell her family, not only did Madame Zheng not stop her, she even ordered someone to escort the letter all the way to Zhejiang. Madam, Master had Zheng Shuang come to the Xiamen to kill Madam and Young Master! "

Hearing this, Madame Zheng's first reaction was that Zheng Chenggong was still blaming herself for what happened that year, even though this matter was indeed planned by him. However, Madame Zheng still felt sad for her husband, who had accompanied her for so many years.

The Zheng Dong had always treated Zheng Chenggong as the only woman he had ever doted on, and dealt with his in his own way. Only, Zheng's family did not expect that in his husband's heart, there was still no status for him. In Zheng's family's heart, for all these years, he had always thought that after he had gotten himself into big trouble, the husband in his heart would at least treat him with some warmth.

"Since that's the case, I'm afraid that Jing-er and I will have to rely on the lords." After receiving the news from Tainan, the Zheng's family did not plan on making any preparations. It was just an explanation, but he hoped to receive the support of the generals of the Zheng's family. It was also because of this that something like this happened later on. The Lord General had disobeyed Zheng Chenggong's orders.

This matter of Zheng Jing being criticised by Zheng Chenggong had the effect of adding fuel to the fire for Zheng's family's actions, but what Zheng's family did not expect was that after Zheng Chenggong read the letter written by his own relative, Master Tang Xiyue, he would implicate himself as well.

In these eighteen years, Su Kesaha executed Zheng Zhilong for plotting against him, and even gave the order to dig up the ancestral grave of the Zheng's family in Nan An. The attacks that followed made Zheng Chenggong's thoughts run amok. In such a short time, Zheng Chenggong was already dead. And the Zheng Dong in the Xiamen did not expect that the matter would end like this.

Because of the matter of the generals disobeying orders, Zheng's family knew that Zheng Chenggong would definitely not ignore his own warriors. Furthermore, at this time, Dongning Tianyun Manor was probably aware of the death of the Eternal Calendar's Emperor. This way, the Zheng's family wouldn't have to worry about being implicated by his own son.

Zheng's family was waiting for Zheng Chenggong's anger to dissipate, although he did not get rid of the Chen family, Madame Zheng was not in a hurry either. For a daughter-in-law like her to still be at peace, and to have a son, that is the most important thing. " Madame Zheng didn't put the Chen family's bastard in his eyes at all. Even if the bastard was his own grandson, Madame Zheng still treated him like an ant.

"Mistress, something bad happened! The Prince went over." Zheng Dong's wet nurse had always been the left and right arm of Zheng Dong. When the news from Dongning Heavenly Manor was found out by her, the first person he had treated as his master's daughter was also worried.

"The Prince went? How could that be! This is not true, is it! " Holding onto his mistress's hand, Madame Zheng himself didn't expect how much strength he had used, as well as his well-preserved fingernails, to be stuck in his mistress' arms.

"Miss, this is not the time for you to be sad!" The wet nurse received the news, because of the sudden death of King Yanping, the Zheng Family who had an unbalanced heart was in an even greater turmoil at this time. Everyone wanted to be their own king, no one wanted to be subservient to others.

After the news reached the Xiamen and the Golden Gate, Zheng Jing wanted to prepare for the funeral of Si Ming. With Chen Yonghua as the adviser, envoy the army, Zhou Quan Bin as the general of the five armies, and Feng Xifan as the guard, the whole division would be prepared for the ferry.
