Chapter 575: Relatives (on)

Popular recommendation:,,,,,,,

"Madam Zheng, Madam Zheng, Madam Zheng..." "Madam Zheng, we are your people!" "Madam Zheng, we are your people, come out and meet us!"...

Outside Prince Qing's mansion, many people began to perform big fights. They shouted here that they hoped that Mrs. Zheng would go out to meet them. As for this matter, Wang Guorui was also alarmed. Because Mrs. Zheng was also his first wife, Zheng Hong, and these people claimed to be members of Zheng Hong's tribe, Wang Guorui also had to pay attention to it. However, Wang Guorui called Zheng Hong.

"Hong'er, haven't you seen them?" Wang Guorui asked.

"What is there to see? They are all people who followed the Tartars back then, and they are no longer worthy of being the descendants of the surname Lord, so what is there to see?" Zheng Hong said.

However, Wang Guorui sighed and said, "Are you insincere? I can see that you still see them in your heart. Because you have not had many relatives since you were a child, and the family of Zheng Kuan, the son of Guo surname, is almost Every generation is a single pass, and there are hardly many offspring. And in your generation, there is only one daughter, so you have no relatives. And now that relatives have finally come over, don't you really want to meet them?

"Husband, I..." Zheng Hong was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, let them come in!" Wang Guorui said.

Those dozens of members of the Zheng family walked in one after another, and they could tell at a glance. Only Wang Guorui sat on the main seat. These dozens of members of the Zheng family immediately knelt down together as if they had been trained.

"The grass people have seen my emperor, long live, long live, long live, and the empress, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

Dozens of members of the Zheng family, old and young, were all neat and tidy, which seemed to be a professional.

"Get up, we people in Taiwan don't bow down in fashion! Also, you don't have to shout long live so early, I haven't proclaimed myself emperor yet!" Wang Guorui said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dozens of members of the Zheng family started to say it again here, and then got up neatly together, which simply made Wang Guorui amazed.

And Zheng Hong took the initiative to say: "You all claim to be members of my tribe, what evidence do you have?"

"Empress, I..." An old man was about to say something. But it was stopped immediately.

"You can just call me Mrs. Zheng!" Zheng Hong immediately corrected her.

The old man immediately changed his words and said, "Mrs. Zheng, we have a family tree. This genealogy has been passed down from the generation of our ancestors, so this can be used as proof. Since our Zheng family came to the capital, we have always been Branches and leaves have spread, and it has continued to expand into a big family from that year, and even has almost five or six hundred people. And what we are here today is just a representative, a representative of each branch."

"Hmph, my ancestors stayed in Taiwan back then. I continued to hope that one day I could counterattack the mainland and expel the Tartars. But you actually took refuge in the Tartars, and then gradually declined. Now that we have risen again, you want to come here to take advantage of the opportunity to climb the dragon and the phoenix? "Zheng Hong sprayed bluntly.

Although Zheng Hong still paid more attention to these people, they were relatives of his own family anyway. However, Zheng Hong's lineage started directly from the ancestors, and from the ancestors, it was prepared to launch an uprising in Taiwan, and then gradually counterattack the mainland to expel the Tartars. And they also launched many uprisings in Taiwan for this reason. For example, the Lin Shuangwen uprising was supported and instigated by them behind the scenes. But these tribesmen ran to the mainland, and finally spread their branches and leaves. Then it became a big family.

"You should know that there is no good end to cooperating with the invaders. Although your ancestors have become officials, even Zheng Keshuang was able to obtain a title of Lord Haicheng. But later, because of the extinction of heirs, you could not inherit it, and you The official positions of the Zheng family were also gradually cancelled. The Zheng family also declined because of this. Don’t you know the attitude of the Manchus towards you? They just treat you like a dog. Once you are no longer needed, you will be Killed to eat meat." Wang Guorui asked.

Those members of the Zheng family were also very embarrassed. Their ancestors had defected to the Qing Dynasty. Although they were more highly valued at the beginning, their official positions were gradually abolished from the second generation. Their family also declined because of this, and then gradually became this commoner family. There was even Zheng Zhicai who became the leader of the gangster. As for now, they heard about Zheng Kuan's descendants who stayed in Taiwan, and their Zheng family's daughter was about to become a "Queen", which made them all feel that the opportunity had come.

You must know that if you can climb the line of Zheng Hong, you will be able to become a foreign relative! When Wang Guorui becomes the emperor, they will all be relatives, so they can gain enough power. Although some people may say that nepotism officials are despicable, there are still countless people who hope to get nepotism officials, and they all hope to send their daughters to the palace, and then they can also improve their family status. Isn't now a good opportunity, Zheng Hong is a member of the Zheng family, and they are also members of the Zheng family, so they can become foreign relatives when the time comes. In this way, maybe my family can regain enough titles, and even be able to re-emerge!

"My lord, the situation back then was really unacceptable, so our ancestors short-sightedly took refuge in the Qing Dynasty. Now we know that we were wrong, and Mr. Wang, didn't you start from Taiwan? And you are the son-in-law of our Zheng family. , inherited the will of Lord Guoxing, and now the Northern Expedition has finally won the world. It is the spirit of Lord Guoxing who is in the sky, and I bless you to achieve great things!" Immediately, an old man said.

Wang Guorui immediately asked unhappily: "Huh? You said that only the Lord Guoxing can win the world? You can explain to me clearly how the Lord Guoxing protected me from the spirit of heaven!"

"Oh, look at my stinky mouth, Lord Wang, you are blessed by the heavens, how could Lord Guoxing have such abilities! Our Zheng family can have a son-in-law like Lord Wang, it is also a blessing for Lord Guoxing!" The old man corrected immediately.

The old man knew that he had said something wrong. Since ancient times, it was God who blessed him to be able to obtain the throne. If he said that Zheng Chenggong blessed him, wouldn't he be raising the status of the Zheng family and putting the Zheng family above Wang Guorui? When the time comes, you will be granted the throne by the blessing of Lord Guo Xing. Isn't that going to let the Zheng family ride **** on his head? He immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. If he was a narrow-minded king, he would hate you to death, and then he didn't know when he would destroy your nine clans! No emperor would tolerate another family being his own overlord.

"Okay, do you have anything else to say?" Wang Guorui asked.

And the old man replied: "Master Wang, I have one thing to beg you boldly!"

"What's the matter?" Wang Guorui asked.

"My son, Zheng Zhicai, was blinded by lard for a moment, and went to assassinate you, Mr. Wang! And I hope that Mr. Wang will hold his hand high and don't kill him. Even if you lock him up for the rest of your life, don't kill him! I am just such a son, but I can't afford to die!" The old man cried immediately.

But Wang Guorui immediately said: "We should do it. It is up to the law, not me. Therefore, I cannot easily agree to this request."

"My lord, you are about to become the emperor. Whether you are dead or alive, let's talk about it. Even if you really want Zheng Zhicai to die, then I have nothing to say. The king and his officials have to die. You can even just say you want him to die! Why do you have to shirk it to your subordinates like this? I know that assassinating you is the assassination of the emperor, and that is the crime of punishing the nine clans. But I still dare you to see it for the sake of Mrs. Zheng. Let our Zheng family go. But why do you shirk it to your subordinates, can't you still be the master?" another old man asked.

Wang Guorui kept silent, but Zheng Hong immediately said: "In Taiwan, even husbands can't easily intervene in judicial trials, so they are all sentenced by the court. Therefore, what should be done is decided by the court. You guys You should know. And if you let your husband intervene, things will be more troublesome. If according to the law, this assassination of your husband has not yet claimed the emperor, so it is only judged as the crime of intentional homicide, and it is still an attempted crime, then it can be given a lighter sentence Punishment~lightnovelpub.net~ Even according to the military law, it is life imprisonment, that is, life imprisonment. Moreover, we in Taiwan will not implicate anyone. Even if you assassinate the king, it is just your own responsibility, not even your wife and children. How could it implicate you?"

"Also, if you come to intercede, the consequences will be even more troublesome. You must know that if you come to intercede, you have no attitude of repentance, and you want to fight the law to the end. This kind of behavior will definitely increase the punishment. The nephew of the husband back then, isn't it the same? Is that so? You may not know that when my husband’s nephew committed a crime, he came to ask him for help, but instead of getting a reduced sentence, the sentence was increased. Because he has no attitude of repentance, he even hoped to be exempted from punishment through special privileges. In the end, the problem was more serious. So, you don't come to intercede, or the consequences will be more serious."

The Zheng family was also relieved to hear that no more people would be implicated. Moreover, if they come to intercede by themselves, the punishment will be aggravated, which makes them afraid to continue to intercede immediately, and this trial is only the maximum life imprisonment, so that is okay. This is very likely that Zheng Zhicai will not die, at most he will stay in prison for a lifetime.

"Mrs. Zheng, would you like to go back to the Zheng family with us to worship the ancestral tablet?" An elder of the Zheng family asked.

But Zheng Hong hesitated for a moment, and looked at Wang Guorui, hoping that Wang Guorui would give him an answer. (to be continued...)
