In 1662, the national hero Zheng Chenggong died of illness, only 39 years old when he died. Moreover, investigating the real cause of his death, we will find that zheng Chenggong's cause of death was not simply illness, but was "angry to death" by his brother and subordinates. What the hell is going on here?
In 1642, Zheng Chenggong and Princess Dong gave birth to a son, Zheng Jing. Don't look at Zheng Jing's name as a serious one, but when he does things, he can throw away his Lao Tzu's face. Zheng Chenggong has been dealing with political affairs for a long time, and he rarely asks much about his son's education, so Zheng Jing has always been taught by his mother Concubine Dong. However, as a father, Zheng Chenggong is still very concerned about his son's future. When Zheng Jing was 18 years old, Zheng Chenggong walked a little better for his son's future path to government. He specifically pointed out the daughter of Tang Yuexian, the shangshu of the bingbu at that time, to Zheng Jing as his wife.
Unfortunately, this political marriage has always been the wishful thinking of both adults. The relationship between the two children is not good, and Zheng Jing has not liked this everyone who follows the rules since they got married. But because he had his father around, he didn't dare to show it, so he had to pretend to deal with it. In the eighth year of Shunzhi, after Zheng Chenggong captured Taiwan, he stationed Zheng Jing in the Area of Xiamen, Fujian Province.
At this time, without his father's shackles, Zheng Jing could be said to have the courage to play, and he never looked at Tang's wife again, and it wasn't long before he mixed with his fourth brother's grandmother, Chen Zhaoniang. Later, he gave birth to a son Zheng Kezang with the Chen family. Zheng Jing did not dare to tell Zheng Chenggong the truth, and had to lie in his family letter to his father and had a son with a concubine. After Zheng Chenggong, who did not know the truth, heard that he had grandchildren, Daxi specially sent someone to reward them.
At this time, Tang Shi, who had been left out in the cold, could not swallow this breath, and simply stabbed Zheng Chenggong with the news of Zheng Jing's mixing with his brother's grandmother in a family letter. Zheng Chenggong was furious, so he let his brother Zheng Tai take his men down and kill Zheng Jing, Chen Zhaoniang, Zheng Kezang, and his wife Dong Shi. Who knows, Zheng Tai could not bear to kill his nephew, and his nephew and sister-in-law only disposed of the Chen family. Just at this time, the news came from the front that his father Zheng Zhilong had been killed by the Qing army, Zheng Chenggong was angry and bedridden, and it was not long before he heard that his brother did not kill Zheng Jing and others, and his anger increased, and Zheng Chenggong died as a result.
So, why did Zheng Chenggong insist on killing his wife, children and grandson? There are two reasons for this.
First, Chen Shi is the grandmother of Zheng Jing's fourth brother, and according to the generation, he and Zheng Chenggong are of the same generation, so the combination of the two is an act of incest, which is a great shame for the Zheng family's mendi. Therefore, the two must be killed, and Zheng Chenggong believes that Zheng Jing committed such a big crime as an educational problem of his wife Dong.
Second, as a monarch, whether it is love or reason, he should give Tang Yuexian and his daughter an explanation. Therefore, they will undoubtedly die.
