Zheng Yanqing later learned that Zheng Shanguo was the son of Zheng Yi's brother. With the help of Zheng Yi's relationship, Zheng Shanguo has just stepped down from the position of governor of Yizhou and was promoted to the right Guanglu Dafu, and his status is far higher than that of Zheng Dashi.

But in front of Master Zheng, Zheng Shanguo was just a junior.

Even if he is a direct descendant, he must be respectful to his clan uncle who has a less official position than him.

The "Yuan Concubine" mentioned by Zheng Shanguo is the true wife of Prince Yang Yong of Sui.

In later history books, he had a lot of sympathy for the Crown Prince Yang Yong of Sui, saying that he was gentle and had the style of an elder. He just liked luxury and was a little greedy for female colors.

Zheng Yanqing didn't quite believe this statement.

Since ancient times, the success and the kings and the defeat of the enemy. Li Tang seized the Yang Sui Dynasty, and there would naturally be some whitewashing. As the king of the country that destroyed, Emperor Yang of Sui would inevitably be slandered. Then, as the opponent of Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Yong would naturally be beautified. Otherwise, how could Li Tang's great achievements be highlighted? What's more, this "Book of Sui" was written by the Tang people...

Yang Yong didn't like Yuan Fei for a long time.

Later, it became interesting that Yun Zhaoxun became a concubine, and even left the original wife behind.

The Yuanfei was also a noble family, so how could she bear this neglect? In addition, due to her physical condition, she died suddenly due to heartache.

The Zheng family in Xingyang has always supported the crown prince Yang Yong.

Although I don’t know what would happen if the death of Concubine Yuan was, the people in the Zheng family were keenly aware of the slightest mistake.

Emperor Wen of Sui was Empress Dugu, a jealous woman.

I remember that when Emperor Wen of Sui started his family, he was mostly supported by Empress Dugu's family, so he followed Empress Dugu's advice.

Yang Yong was greedy for female sex and was originally not loved by Queen Dugu.

The Yuan Concubine was the Queen Dugu who chose Yang Yong again. Her death would definitely lead to a conflict between Queen Dugu and the prince. What's more, Yang Guang, who is the King of Jin, has returned from Jiangdu to Chang'an and is eyeing the position of the prince.

Therefore, the death of Concubine Yuan will inevitably cause a turmoil.

The Zheng family must prepare for the future, analyze and judge, and make the right choice.

Gong Chang Zheng Shanyuan invited Master Zheng to come over at this time, and this was the matter he discussed...

However, for Zheng Yanqing, he could not participate in the choices made by the Zheng family and was unable to participate in it.

A few days later, Zheng Yanqing obtained her household registration and officially settled in the Zheng family.

—————————————————

As Zheng Yanqing thought, the death of Concubine Yuan kicked off the struggle between King Yang Guang of Jin and Prince Yang Yong.

The Zheng family also had huge differences in the choice between Yang Yong and Yang Guang. Zheng Shanyuan, the chief of the Zheng clan, strongly advocated continuing to support the crown prince Yang Yong. Zheng Dashi and Zheng Shanguo believed that Yang Yong had great ambitions and talent, and if he had evil Queen Dugu, he would be in danger. Most importantly, although Yang Yong had always assisted Yang Jian in doing things, his prestige was far inferior to Yang Guang, the king of Jin. Even with the support of important officials like Gao Ying, He Ruobi, and Shi Wansui, he was still not a match for Yang Guang.

If you count Yang Guang in detail, there are also talented people like Yang Su and Han Qinhu.

Moreover, Yang Guang made great contributions to the Southern Chen Dynasty, especially during his period of garrisoning in Jiangdu, he also attracted a large number of famous scholars in the Southern Dynasty. Yang Guang himself was also scheming and was loved by Empress Dugu, and Yang Yong was afraid that it would be difficult for him to hold the position of crown prince.

These two results more or less resulted in the internal division of the Zheng family.

Zheng Shanguo and others began to look for opportunities to get along with Yang Guang, while Zheng Shanyuan continued to blatantly support Yang Yong.

In October of the 20th year of Kaihuang, the third year when Zheng Yanqing came to the Zheng family, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Guang deposed Prince Yang Yong and his children as commoners. In November, King Yang Guang of Jin was appointed as the crown prince, and the following year, the reign of the reign of Renshou was changed, ending the three-year-old prince dispute.

The Zheng family was not affected too clearly in this battle.

Although Zheng Shanyuan stood in the wrong team, Emperor Wen of Sui did not blame him too much. Instead, he appointed Zheng Shanyuan's two brothers, Zheng Yuansheng, Zheng Yuancong, as the Duke of Chenggao County and the Baron of Yong'an. In the eyes of civil and military officials in the court, the Zheng family in Xingyang seemed to be more favored.

"If you want to take it, give it first!"

Mr. Zheng privately told Zheng Shi'an: "I have a good wish to support the prince, and I have evil to the Queen and King Jin, but I am afraid it will not last long."

Zheng Yanqing expressed his support for Master Zheng’s point of view in his heart.

However, Zheng Yanqing cannot focus on such things now, because he has many things to consider.

The Zheng family is concerned about the fate of the Zheng family.

Of course, the aristocratic families that have been around for hundreds of years will have their own means of protecting themselves.

In a blink of an eye, Zheng Yanqing was three years old. If he was based on the method of calculating age in the Sui Dynasty, he was actually five years old.

Due to Zheng Shi'an, although Zheng Yanqing is just a slave to the Zheng family, she lives a very comfortable life.

Zheng Dashi chose a house in Anyuan Hall and gave it to Zheng Shi'an. It was a narrow courtyard with a small area and a complete range of facilities. Walking from the gate, there were central halls, backyards and main bedrooms in turn. There were two corridors on both sides of the east and west, which could also be used to live in people and raise livestock.

Xu Ma and her daughter live in the front yard.

What Zheng Yanqing cares about is precisely because of Xu's mother and daughter.

Ma Xu is no longer a nurse.

After Zheng Yanqing was weaned, Zheng Shi'an asked Xu Ma to continue to stay in his house.

Sewing and repairing, washing and rinsing... In Zheng Shi'an's view, although Zheng Yanqing was weaned, he was still young and needed someone to take care of him.

Zheng Shi'an's status in the Zheng family is extremely special. Although he was also a slut and a slave to the Zheng family. However, in Anyuantang, except for Zheng Dashi and Zheng Renji, Zheng Shi'an has the greatest power. Even if Zheng Renji reunited, the daughter of the Cui clan in Qinghe whom he married was very smart, it was not easy to replace Zheng Shi'an's status in Anyuantang.

Therefore, Zheng Yanqing was also a slut, but he lived a very carefree life in Anyuantang.

The reason why he was interested in Xu Ma and his daughter was because he discovered that there were many secrets hidden in Xu Ma and his daughter.

One day in March of the first year of Renshou, Zheng Yanqing, wearing white clothes, sat on the steps at the entrance of the central hall, watching Duoduo dance in front of the hall. Duoduo is eight years old, perhaps because of his martial arts practice, and his body develops very early. He is only eight years old, but he is very tall, one head taller than Zheng Yanqing, and he is even more graceful and handsome, looking like a little beauty.

Duoduo's boxing technique is not very complicated.

His eyes were staring at his palms, and he seemed slow when he punched, but he was as fast as lightning when he stopped.

One of them is closed and one of them is released, one of them is fast and one of them is slow, and it is unpredictable, creating extremely strong visual conflicts. This is not the first time Zheng Yanqing has seen Duoduo practice boxing. In fact, he discovered the secret of Duoduo's martial arts two years ago. It is precisely because of this that he developed a stronger curiosity about Xu Ma and his daughter, and has guessed more than once the origin of Xu Ma and his daughter.

"Sister Duoduo, what are you practicing?"

Zheng Yanqing did not know martial arts in his previous life, but he was extremely curious and yearning for martial arts.

There is not a saying: Every man has a martial arts dream in his heart...

Even if he is a person like Zheng Yanqing, he is no exception. For two years, he has often sat on the steps to watch Duoduo practice martial arts, and Duoduo has long ignored his existence from his repulsion at the beginning to his habits now.

"Dragon Subduing Achievement!"

Duoduo answered casually.

Now, she is no longer the little girl who often draws her sword three years ago. She doesn’t have that much hostility towards Zheng Yanqing.

She also knew that Zheng Yanqing was a very strange little guy.

He is not as active as a child of the same age. Most of the time, he is as quiet as an adult. For example, when practicing boxing, ordinary children will definitely not be able to withstand it. Even Duoduo feels boring to practice boxing every day.

But Zheng Yanqing often sits for most of the day and watches her practice boxing.

If there is nothing wrong on weekdays, I will hold a small stick and write and draw on the sand in the backyard, which looks a little withdrawn.

But Xu Ma was very interested in his behavior and even asked Duoduo to practice with him.

Therefore, Duoduo has no good feelings for Zheng Yanqing, but it is also unpleasant. He just feels that although he is a little boring when he is with Zheng Yanqing, he can still be peaceful. This is a very wonderful feeling, and it is difficult for Duoduo to explain it clearly.

"Dragon Subduing Achievement?"

Zheng Yanqing seemed to be indifferent and asked: "Sister Duoduo, where did you learn the skills?"

Xu's mother was not at home at this time, and Zheng Shi'an was serving Master Zheng in Anyuantang's study. Only then did Zheng Yanqing ask.

"Well... I've learned it since I was a kid."

Duoduo's answer seemed very casual, but his tone was very tight and he did not reveal any information.

But Zheng Yanqing still got some news: Duoduo’s background will not be too low!

As the saying goes, poor literature and wealth are rich in martial arts.

Poor families do not have many means and can only rely on studying to find a way out; however, those who practice martial arts need to cleanse their marrow and hair, and all aspects of their children need to spend money. Even if they want to practice martial arts, they cannot pay expensive fees.

After three years in the Zheng family, Zheng Yanqing heard and understood many things, and of course he knew the meaning of this sentence.

Duoduo wiped his face and sat down next to Zheng Yanqing.

After practicing, she sweated a lot, but the smell of sweat had a faint smell of girlish body, perhaps it was what people often call "scented sweat".

"Little scholar, you watch me practice qigong all day long. Do you want to learn it?"

Because Zheng Yanqing likes to write and draw, Duoduo jokingly calls him a "scholar". This scholar originally meant a person with talent and talent, but later it became a kind of fame.

Duoduo said: "I have heard that a man should carry a three-foot sword to seek fame. Look at you, you do nothing all day long, and you will know how to make a name for yourself with a branch and write and draw on the ground without the power of a chicken. How can you make a name for yourself in the future? Why don't you ask you to practice martial arts? Maybe one day it will come in handy. But I wonder, can you endure hardships?"

There is a lot of contempt between words.

Compared with the later generations of emphasis on literature and over military affairs, the trend of advocating martial arts in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was quite popular.

After just experiencing the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China and the division of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, even those families who passed on classics and history should pay attention to both civil and military affairs. As for the Zheng family, they wrote the scriptures and literature, and Anyuan Hall to discuss martial arts. Zheng Lianshan, the ancestor of Zheng Dashi, started his business with martial arts. Later, Zheng Xian protected Zheng Wei and Zheng Ding and others, were all brave and famous all over the country.

Master Zheng is also good at riding and shooting. When he was young, he could ride a fierce horse and drive a strong bow.

However, when Zheng Renji arrived, due to his poor physical condition, he changed to specialize in military tactics, but it still belongs to the category of martial arts.

Zheng Yanqing was a little moved.

He knew that after the great cause, troubled times would come.

It is a good idea to be able to learn a skill to defend yourself. I remember that in the early Tang Dynasty, it was an era when many famous generals emerged.

But he didn't know what he could be trained to.
