Chen Aigong's escape from the alliance caused a great sensation at the time, but compared to another incident, it was nothing: it turned out that Zheng Xigong died mysteriously one night on the way to attend the princes' meeting. The cause of death given by Zheng Ren was "malaria", but who can be convinced by such a far-fetched reason?

Zheng Xigong's stubborn temperament is very similar to Zheng Yugong, both of them are paranoid, narrow-minded, irritable and irritable people.

As mentioned earlier, Gongzi (Zisi) and others had stubbornly "forced" the crown prince to the throne during the detention of Zheng Chenggong by the Jin people. After Zheng Chenggong was released, he frantically punished the responsibility of several "pseudo-monarchs"; Although he was not held accountable, he was also mercilessly scolded by his father; For a while, he even suspected that his father would depose his position as crown prince and settle accounts with his queen.

For reasons like these, he began to hate his uncles who had forced him to the throne in the first place.

In fact, as early as the sixteenth year of Lu Chenggong (the year of the Battle of Chengpu), the stubborn showed rudeness and rejection of his uncles. In that year, he visited the Jin Kingdom accompanied by Gongzixi. After entering Xinjiang, he said to Gongzixi: "When you see the Marquis of Jin tomorrow, please ride in a Xuan car with me." ”

As a result, in the early morning of the next day, the stubborn man left in the car without informing Gongzixi, and as a result, Gongzixi ran all the way to catch up - he had already changed into a gorgeous court dress and wore a solemn crown, and he was in full view, holding his skirt, panting, and running wildly unconventionally, and the Jin people on the road were all dumbfounded. As a result, this incident seriously stabbed Gongzixi's feelings.

After the Battle of Chengpu, he and another uncle, father and son, Feng, visited the state of Chu. On the way, he found that there was a problem with the connection between the canopy and the pillar of the car he was riding, so he exchanged vehicles with Zifeng, but did not reveal the reason for the exchange to his uncle. Soon, a heavy rain suddenly fell in the sky, and a gust of wind blew away the canopy on Zifeng's car, and the majestic rain suddenly poured Zifeng into a soup chicken, and caused him a serious illness, but at that time, he was stubborn and laughed on the side, and felt sincerely proud of the prank co-directed by himself and God. In this way, Zifeng also formed a hatred with him.

In the first year of his ascension to the throne, he went to the Xinjiang Dynasty to meet the Duke of Jin in the new Jiang Dynasty, accompanied by Zihan and Zifeng. Zheng Xigong said a lot of words on the road that looked down on the Duke of Jin and the King of Chu, and Zifeng reminded others to talk too much and not to continue. Zheng Xigong sneered: "Does uncle always speak ill of others when no one else is present? Uncle, please tell the widow in a moment, whose bad things have you said? ”

Everyone present was very embarrassed, and that night Zifeng said to Zihan without worry: "Uncle Jun's mouth will break into a big disaster sooner or later." It's just that he doesn't respect us who are courtiers, and now he slanders the two alliance leaders, sooner or later he will be burned, and the country will suffer with him. I think it's better to accuse him to the Marquis of Jin, ask the Marquis of Jin to depose him, and then set up a new king. ”

Zihan said: "No, the crime of the king will not be abolished, I will remind and persuade him at any time; Moreover, his power is too great, and his abolition will definitely cause chaos in the country, which is exactly what the people of the Jin Kingdom want. ”

Although Zheng Xigong particularly rejects the old-timers, he has a hot fight with his brothers; He once told Zihu and other brothers that he would gradually weaken the power of the Seven Mu Doctors, so that the brothers would gradually take the place of those old guys. As a result, a situation of confrontation between the old and new forces has emerged between the DPRK and China.

In the winter of this year, Zheng Xigong and Zisi attended the princes' meeting together. Before leaving, a sudden scene suddenly reminded him of the humiliating history of kneeling at Zisi's feet and prostrating and begging, so he did not find much trouble with Zisi on the road: he deliberately gave him shabby cutlery during the meal, and the food in it was less than others; He also asked Zisi for some favored slaves to serve him; He also let his two brothers with very low status walk in front of Zisi, and deliberately pretended not to see him or hear him when they met.

There was an old attendant who had served the monarchs of the three dynasties, and he was not only dissatisfied with what Zheng Xigong had done, but also afraid that Zisi would make a move that was unfavorable to Zheng Xigong, so he advised Zheng Xigong to be fair: "Gongzi is a public secretary in the country, and the family is an uncle and uncle, you must not be rude to him." Cattle and horses must be treated well when they are old, let alone the important ministers and ancestors of the state? ”

Zheng Xigong said: "Do you think that you can point fingers at the widow after serving the three ancestors? Serving the widowed is what you should do, and you are not qualified to judge the affairs between the monarch and the minister. ”

The old waiter continued: "Forty years have passed since the incident of Gongzi returning to life and killing Zheng Linggong, and the old minister is afraid that this matter will happen to Jun Bo again. ”

Zheng Xigong was furious: "Old fellow, you dare to curse the widow!" Compare the widow to the faint king! How can the widow tolerate you on his side! So in his rage, he snatched one of them, stabbed them forward, and stabbed the old squire to death. He threw Goh to the guards and ordered them to drag the body out and dispose of it. The soldiers ran into Gongzi in the process of throwing the corpse, and after learning the truth of the incident, Gongzi walked away in despair.

The crime of indiscriminate killing of innocents has already occurred, and Zheng Xigong has transformed into a tyrant; The tyrants of the world start with the cruelty of the ministers, and once the country is ruled by the tyrant, everyone will become a piece of meat on the chopping block.

Gongzi Qian has also heard rumors that Zheng Jiangong promised his brothers high-ranking officials and nobles, but if you don't get rid of these old guys, how can any nobles be given to the sons? Gongzi felt that great danger was coming, and the people of the Jin Kingdom could not tolerate Jin Linggong and Jin Ligong, and he could not tolerate Zheng Xigong; He decided to preemptively get rid of Zheng Xigong before he became the next unjust ghost.

Gongzi sent the two brothers who accompanied Zheng Xigong to the Jin Kingdom to work with the Jin people, thus cutting off the connection between Zheng Xigong and the sons; He also secretly found one of Zheng Xigong's cooks, who had been smoked by Zheng Xigong for no reason a few days ago, and he was also an old friend of the slain attendant. Childe succeeded in provoking his anger and fear, and handed him another bag of poison.

After nightfall, Zheng Xigong was still worried about the old attendant's persuasion of him, and he wanted to drink some wine to relieve the depression in his heart, so he ordered someone to serve wine and food. The cook poisoned the wine and meat he wanted, and Zheng Xigong ate the poisonous food and felt abdominal pain. Gongzi rushed to the scene, he sent the imperial doctor, and blocked the scene, but Zheng Xigong died in less than two hours.

Gongzi claimed that Zheng Xigong had died of malaria, but no one was stupid enough to believe that unreliable lie. People say, "Where does malaria come from in the winter?" And the symptoms of this malaria attack are like the poison of arsenic in the body. ”

The procession stopped advancing, Gongzi sent people to the countries to mourn, and he returned to Xinzheng with the coffin of Zheng Xigong, and the doctors immediately put Zheng Xigong's five-year-old little prince on the throne, and the little Zheng Bo was Zheng Jiangong. At that time, Gongzi Xi was the Shangqing, Gongzi was Yaqing, and Gongzi Fa was the Xiaqing. Zheng Guojun was weak and strong, and the power of the country fell into the hands of Dr. Qimu.

In the spring of the following year, there was a great political upheaval in Zheng Guo. As a result of the violent death of Zheng Xigong, his brothers lost the possibility of grabbing more power. Zihu, Zixi, Zihou, and Ziding suspected that Duke Xi was killed by Gongzi, so they began to secretly investigate the cause of Xianjun's death.
