In the 22nd year of Kangxi, Shi Lang led his army to defeat Liu Guoxuan in the Penghu Islands, which put strong military pressure on Taiwan. [] Zheng Keshuang, with the support of the peace faction, sent peace negotiation representatives to Shi Lang and proposed the "three no harms" request.
He requested the Qing troops to enter the island "without injuring anyone in the Zheng family, without injuring a single officer or soldier, or without injuring a single Taiwanese citizen."
After receiving Shi Lang's promise, Zheng Keshuang presented the Qing court's peace treaty seal and voluntarily declared himself a minister, saying that previous confrontations were "childish Lu Zhi". In the seal, Zheng Keshuang only asked for permission to continue living in Fujian. This condition was not excessive. After all,
Fujian was his hometown, but the Qing government rejected this request after the surrender.
In the 23rd year of Kangxi's reign, Emperor Kangxi granted Yanping King Zheng Keshuang the title of "official" Zhenghuang Banner Haicheng Gong. After that, he and his family were placed under house arrest in an alley outside Chaoyang Gate in Beijing. This was where the Qing government placed his great-grandfather Zheng Zhilong under house arrest.
In order to prevent the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty and Zheng's regime from causing trouble, the Qing government strictly controlled Zheng Keshuang's activities. The so-called "freedom" was out of reach for the eighteen-year-old Zheng Keshuang.
Feng Xifan, Chen Yonghua, and Liu Guoxuan became the three heroes of Taiwan. After Zheng Jing's death, Feng Xifan colluded with Dong Fei, killed Zheng Jing's eldest son Zheng Kezang, supported his son-in-law Zheng Keshuang to succeed King Yanping, monopolized Taiwan's military and political power, and contributed to Taiwan's surrender.
The one who made the most profound decisions. Without his instigation, the young and energetic Zheng Keshuang might have fought to the end instead of handing over his ancestral foundation to the Qing Dynasty.
After leading his son-in-law Zheng Keshuang to surrender, Feng Xifan was also granted the title of count and was included in the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army. He was quite self-aware and knew that he was a surrender now. If he wanted to save his life, he had to live in peace and contentment. He could never do it again.
Contact any force loyal to the Zheng family and act as his earl honestly. Only in this way can he have a good death. Therefore, he behaved very low-key. Since entering the capital, he has basically stayed at home and rarely left home.
There was only one destination, which was the home of his son-in-law Zheng Keshuang. In order to protect himself, he also warned his son-in-law not to behave in an inappropriate manner and firmly controlled the Zheng family through his daughter. Under his careful arrangements,
The Zheng family members only knew how to be loyal to their mistress, not to Duke Haicheng.
After Guan Ning's army entered Beijing with a surprise attack, Feng Xifan knew that things were going to change in Beijing. Sure enough, that night, loud cries and wailings came from the inner city. Feng Xifan, who was standing in his courtyard, only listened for a moment before he knew that he had entered the city during the day.
The Guan Ning bandit army was massacring Manchus in the inner city.
What does it mean to massacre the Manchus? Feng Xifan is not stupid, so when he went to Shuntian Prefecture and posted the announcement of Emperor Xuantong's enthronement all over the streets, Feng Xifan knew that there was something evil in it, very evil!
Because he did not know the details of Guan Ningjun, Feng Xifan did not dare to act rashly. He prevented any of his servants from trying to contact Guan Ningjun, and strictly ordered his family to lock the door tightly and wait and see. Therefore, when a group of soldiers like wolves and tigers broke down the door of his house
, Feng Xifan was frightened when he rushed into the main hall of his house. He kept pleading, saying that he was not a bannerman, but a Han, until he found that his son-in-law Zheng Keshuang appeared under the hostage of another group of Guanning soldiers.
When he was at the door, Feng Xifan learned that an important person wanted to see him and Zheng Keshuang.
With a lot of uneasiness and panic, Feng Xifan and Zheng Keshuang appeared in front of Zhao Qiang tremblingly. Seeing these two influential figures in Taiwan, old and young, they were so frightened that they didn't even know how to salute, but just stood there blankly.
When he was on his own, Zhao Qiang laughed and ordered the guards to bring two stools. Then he pointed at Emperor Xuantong in the palace and said to Feng and Zheng in a friendly manner: "The emperor is here, you have met the emperor first."
"Yes Yes Yes"
Zheng Keshuang was still in a daze, but Feng Xifan came to his senses. He took his son-in-law and performed the "three kneels and nine kowtows" ceremony in front of Emperor Xuantong in the palace, and then knelt there at a loss, waiting for the new emperor in the palace to speak. However,
Emperor Xuantong in the palace was just as at a loss as the kneeling Feng and Zheng. He stared blankly at the master and servant of the Zheng family who shouted "Long live" to him three times, and opened his mouth dryly, but he couldn't say anything.
He didn't dare to say it. He didn't understand why the emperor's father and the regent suddenly asked his ministers to salute him, because this was the first time since he sat on this throne that he was treated like a real emperor. Before that,
The officials who came in didn't even look at themselves.
Zhao Qiang coughed lightly, and Chang Zhong, the eunuch in charge who was observing his actions, quickly reminded Emperor Xuantong in a low voice: "Emperor, please ask Mr. Haicheng and others to get up."
"oh"
After hearing the reminder, Xuantong hurriedly raised his hand and said, "You two ministers, please excuse me." After that, he didn't say a word anymore. He only fixed his gaze on the emperor's father and the regent, and did not dare to move lightly.
"Thank you, Emperor!"
The fact that Zhao Qiang became the regent of the emperor's father is now only known to a group of officials, and no formal edict has been issued. Therefore, although Feng Xifan knew that General Guan Ning standing in front of him was the real master of Beijing City, he did not know how.
What kind of etiquette should be used when addressing someone? I held my son-in-law Zheng Keshuang there, feeling very uneasy.
After Feng and Zheng came in, Zhao Qiang had been paying attention to them. Zheng Keshuang was only 18 years old. Like Xuantong who went to the palace, he was a young and immature figure. There was nothing particularly eye-catching. This man was arrested at the age of eleven.
As the puppet king of Yanping, his life is more full of frustration. As a person involved, he doesn't even know about many things that are closely related to himself. Such a character obviously has nothing to be afraid of, worried about, or take seriously.
.
Compared with Zheng Keshuang, Feng Xifan's famous name Zhao Qiang is very "knowledge", because in later novels, Feng Xifan was portrayed as a master of the Kunlun School, nicknamed Yijianxue, who specializes in hitting people's fatal points with the tip of his sword. Due to his Qigong practice, he has
In the advanced state of "turning sharpness back to dullness", the person who is hit will never bleed, hence the name.
But over time, Zhao Qiang came to the most accurate evaluation of Feng Xifan. He was a jester, and other than that, there was nothing remarkable about him.
The Rigoletto, as the name suggests, is a person who likes to play with power but has no political or military achievements. Combined with what Feng Xifan did in Taiwan and his experience after being demoted, he deserves the word Rigoletto.
Zhang Yu has always been by his side, and he did not dare to leave without Zhao Qiang's order. Seeing that Feng and Zheng were a little uncomfortable, he reminded them: "The prince is the regent of the emperor's father, and he is in charge of hundreds of officials.
Quickly salute the prince."
Royal father and regent?
Feng Xifan and Zheng Keshuang were both stunned for a moment. They were familiar with this weird title, but they were very unfamiliar with the so-called emperor father and regent in front of them. While Zheng Keshuang was still stunned, Feng Xifan had already knelt down again, just like before.
, he also knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to his father-in-law and the regent. Seeing his father-in-law’s actions, Zheng Keshuang suddenly understood and knelt down quickly.
"You two, get up." When Feng and Zheng were about to knock their heads off, Zhao Qiang stopped them, motioned them to get up, and then said lightly: "I wonder if King Yanping is willing to return to his homeland?"
