After taking Shandong, Zheng Chenggong personally reported the victory to the emperor.

Until this moment, Zheng Chenggong suddenly felt a sense of fear.

The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook.

Such things are common throughout history.

Of course, Zheng Chenggong did not think that today's son's heart and chest are smaller than needles and noses.

But if you are more cautious, you should take the initiative to give up your power.

It would be too late to wait until the emperor releases military power with a cup of wine.

Originally, after the restoration of the capital, Zheng Chenggong wanted to beg for bones.

But the fire in Zheng Chenggong's heart ignited again after learning that the emperor wanted to restore Liaodong.

After all, that's Liaodong.

If there is a chance, how could Zheng Chenggong not get involved?

You should know that this is a great opportunity to leave a name for history.

In the end, Zheng Chenggong decided to take the initiative to submit a request to the emperor to remove the military power after restoring Liaodong.

But in order to show his feelings, he still has to express his feelings to the emperor.

This brings about the process of Zheng Jing entering the Ministry of Rites.

This is equivalent to a very obvious signal.

Anyone can understand that it is Zheng Chenggong showing goodwill to the emperor.

After all, if Zheng Chenggong was really ambitious, it would not be possible to arrange his eldest son Zheng Jing to serve in the court.

You should know that this is equivalent to giving a hostage to the court, and being controlled by the emperor.

Zheng Chenggong did this to tell the court that he had no intention of rebellion and had no interest in the dragon throne.

Therefore, Zheng Chenggong had no worries about the Qing army in Liaodong this time.

As long as he wins two beautiful battles, he can wait for the Li Dingguo army to join.

…

…

The capital, the imperial city, and the ritual office of the Ministry of Rites.

Zheng Jing was sitting in the yamen when a yamen ran a letter to him suddenly.

The letters from home were sent from Liaodong, so of course they were written by his father Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Jing was very excited and immediately took a look.

In the letter, Zheng Chenggong briefly explained the battle situation in Liaodong, and immediately said that Zheng Jing could rest assured. Everything went smoothly and he didn't have to worry about himself.

Just when Zheng Jing thought his father's letter was about to end, Zheng Chenggong suddenly changed his subject and said that Zheng Jing would take the initiative to walk with the emperor, hinting that he hoped to stay in the Ministry of Rites forever.

The Ministry of Rites is the Qinggui Yamen, so Zheng Jing knew about this.

Zheng Jing also knew that many cabinet members had gone out of the Ministry of Rites.

If you want to go further and even govern the world, becoming an official in the Ministry of Rites is a shortcut.

But he knew very well that his father asked him to stay in the Ministry of Rites for a long time was not just for this consideration.

Zheng Chenggong is the most clear about his thoughts on his father.

My father hopes to use this to eliminate the emperor's doubts.

After all, no emperor hopes that the powerful minister will be worthy of his achievements.

If we talk about the powerful ministers of the Yongli court, it must be Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong.

Li Dingguo at least had the merit of saving the Lord.

Zheng Chenggong doesn't have the confidence in this regard.

So much so that if the court really used the knife, the first knife would be slashed at the Zheng family.

Zheng Chenggong definitely couldn't watch all this happen, so he had to express his feelings to the court first.

In this way, the emperor would feel that the Zheng family is sensible and put all their favors on Zheng Jing.

Zheng Chenggong is equivalent to exchanging military power for Zheng Jing's future.

In the future, Zheng Jing may even become the prime minister!

This was also Zheng Chenggong's wish back then.

Unfortunately, the building was about to collapse, so Zheng Chenggong had to join the army.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is reviving, Zheng Jing has every chance to take over his father's mansion and go to politics.
