Chapter 3: Factions (I)

After hard work, Shen Ruoxi became pregnant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zheng Chenggong is very happy that he has another son!

In the future, the family will sit together and be lively, how beautiful the scene should be.

When I am over 80 years old, when my children and grandchildren celebrate for me, I am afraid that there will not be enough seats at three tables!

Zheng Chenggong was happy for a few days, but found out that Shen Ruoxi's pregnancy had brought a series of troubles.

Zheng Chenggong didn't have no shading, and the maid in the room helped Zheng Chenggong give birth to a shading son, Zheng Ming.

It's just that the girl in the room has a son, and it can't threaten Dong You's status.

But Shen Ruoxi is different, the eldest daughter of the Shen family in Suzhou, with the support of the Jiangnan family behind her.

With the support of her mother's family, Shen Ruoxi is not short of use in the Zheng Mansion at all.

Dong You, who was in charge of the ledger, couldn't suppress her at all.

With the support of her mother's family, under Shen Ruoxi's generous reward, many domestic servants are attached to the past.

For a while, the atmosphere in the backyard of the Zheng Mansion became weird.

And with the continuous growth of Zheng Chenggong's power and the gradual consolidation of the rule of Anhui, Jiangnan and other places, many people have different thoughts.

Especially after the news that Zheng Chenggong dared to sit on the dragon chair spread all over Jiangnan, it made these people even more emboldened.

In a group, employees are divided into several informal groups due to factors such as interests and culture.

Just like Taizu said, there is no faction in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.

In the Zheng family group, there are also several factions, which are mainly divided into Fujian and Jiangnan by region, and are mainly divided into army and navy by army.

In terms of allegiance, it can be divided into royalists, loyal Zheng factions, and so on.

The members of these factions are not fixed, and they are constantly changing due to differences in interests and beliefs.

The existence of factions is not terrible, but what is terrible is that factions put their own interests above the state and the collective, causing great harm.

Zheng Chenggong started with a navy and relied on the Fujian system.

Many people who took refuge after recovering Jiangnan saw that Zheng Chenggong had fledgling, and it was difficult to squeeze into the core of the Zheng family group.

In order to obtain greater benefits, these people are thinking about saving the country by curves.

When the news came that Shen Ruoxi, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, was pregnant, these people's minds lived.

If Shen Ruoxi gives birth to a boy and inherits Zheng Chenggong's great cause with the help of his own group.

These people have the merit of being a dragon, and glory and wealth are just around the corner.

As soon as Shen Ruochen's pregnancy came to the news, the family in Jiangnan sent valuable medicinal materials one by one.

Shen Teng, the head of the Shen family, even sent four young and beautiful Yangzhou thin horses, saying that they were taking care of Shen Ruochen.

These four Yangzhou thin horses, if you want to say that Geqin calligraphy and painting are proficient in everything, and pleasing men is also first-class. But if it is said that it will take care of pregnant women, no one believes it at all.

I am afraid that Shen Teng, the head of the Shen family, is worried that Zheng Chenggong likes the new and hates the old, and when his daughter is pregnant, he will not be able to have sex with her, and he will snub Shen Ruochen.

That's why I thought about sending a few beauties over, as long as a few of them can be favored, they can also help Shen Ruochen consolidate his status.

Looking at the four flowery women brought by the housekeeper of the Shen family, all of them are wandering, their cheeks are slightly flushed, they seem to be peach blossoms, their posture is sultry, and they seem to be seducing you with a smile.

Zheng Chenggong's face is not good, these women are comfortable playing, but they really want to introduce home.

I'm afraid that the backyard of the Zheng Mansion will never be peaceful.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside!

In order to prevent problems before they happen, but also to dispel the speculation of some people.

Zheng Jing, as the eldest son, is legally the first heir to his family business.

Zheng Chenggong decided to determine the status of Zheng Jing's heir as soon as possible.

In the lobby of the Zheng Mansion, Zheng Jing and Zheng Cong stood respectfully.

Zheng Chenggong studied their knowledge.

Zheng Jing is older, and under Dong You's strict requirements, his knowledge is quite solid.

I can memorize the surnames of hundreds of families and the three-character scriptures, and I have begun to contact the four books and five classics.

Zheng Cong is still young, playful, and stumbling over the three-character scriptures, not to mention others.

Zheng Chenggong rewarded Zheng Jing, and after saying a few more words to Zheng Cong, he said: "Jin'er, now the state is uneven, and my father has been fighting abroad all the year round, so I can't take care of my family." Thou shalt be born as the firstborn, and the firstborn is like a father, and thou shalt take care of thy younger siblings. ”

Zheng Jingxian respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Yes, Jin'er knows!" “

Zheng Chenggong thought for a while and said, "Jin'er, you are going to inherit your father's family business in the future." The Four Books and the Five Classics are good, but they are not quite for you. Pack up these days and go to Nanjing University of Political Science and Law to study! ”

Zheng Jing went to study at the School of Political Science and Law, how can this work!

Dong You is also cautious about this eldest son, of course his eldest son has to be educated by the side of Confucian masters, how can he go to any university of political science and law, this messy place to study.

More importantly, Zheng Jing's lecturers are all important high-level executives in the Zheng family group such as Lu Ruoteng and Zeng Ying.

Zheng Jing has a teacher-student relationship with them, and he can also help him succeed in the future.

When Dong You just wanted to object, Zheng Chenggong had already coldly stopped her from speaking.

This mother-in-law, insight is short-sighted.

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zheng Chenggong attaches great importance to the college.

Whether it is an official history or a wealthy merchant squire, they all send their children to the academy for further study.

It was also after careful consideration that he decided to let Zheng Jing also send him to the academy to study.

First, it can let others see that they value the college.

The imperial examination thing is outdated, and I have sent my eldest son, what are you afraid of?

Hurry up and sign up, it's too late for you to have your share.

Second, it is also so that Zheng Jing can cultivate his own henchmen, or trustworthy people.

Now the people who follow him to fight the world are all thirty or forty years old, and when Zheng Jing grows up, they will be fifty or sixty years old.

It's not bad not to say help, and not to make trouble for him.

Zheng Jing went to the academy to study, he could get to know a group of people, and in the process of learning, he learned to recognize people.

After graduation, he can also have a few helpers and a few people to consult.

will not be weak when he is in power, and will be bullied by those old ministers.

Zheng Jing promised: "Jin'er obeys!" ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded when he heard it, and Zheng Jing was quite obedient.

It's okay to do this, and it also saves Lao Tzu to use force and whip him with a stick.

Chat with each other? Reasonable?

What's that?

I, Zheng Chenggong, am busy all day long, where is there that idle time to care about this.

Disobedient, hit early and say.

In this era, we pay attention to the orders of parents, and we must not disobey them!

After arranging Zheng Jing, Zheng Chenggong looked at Zheng Cong, hesitated, but still made up his mind and said, "Cong'er, you are not too young, and you have to study hard." Go to Gewu College to study and learn more! ”

Zheng Chenggong didn't know whether Zheng Cong was suitable for learning Gewu, and he didn't know whether he liked it or not.

But these are not important, it doesn't matter if they are not suitable or not, the Zheng family has no shortage of food for him.

Let him go to Gewu Academy to study, just hope that he will not be surrounded by that kind of strange-minded person.

Zheng Chenggong, as a father, didn't want to see the "Xuanwumen Incident" and "Kowloon Seizure" tragic cases at all.

In order to prevent this kind of ethics from being miserable, and in order to prevent the Zheng family group from infighting, Zheng Chenggong had to sacrifice Zheng Cong.

Zheng Cong is only eight years old and doesn't understand what it means!

For him, the academy should not be as old-fashioned as the old man who taught, and it was good to beat the palm of his hand if he made a mistake.

Zheng Cong asked with some concern, "Father, is it fun to go to Gewu Academy?" ”

Zheng Chenggong touched his head and said with a smile: "Well, it's fun." There are many new and interesting things there, such as hot air balloons that can fly into the sky, steam cars that can run autonomously, and so on. ”

Zheng Cong heard his eyes glow and said, "Then Cong'er go!" ”

Zheng Chenggong laughed out loud and said, "Okay, Cong'er is smart." I must be a great scientist in the future! ”

……

Arrange for Zheng Jing to go to the University of Political Science and Law, and Zheng Cong to go to the Gewu College, so that others can understand what they mean and warn them not to stand on the wrong team.

All that's left is to knock and knock on the gang in Jiangnan! (To be continued.) )
