The emperor said, "According to regulations, there are several pairs of silk shoes every month. If you don't wear it out, don't change it. Why is there slander? " Zheng Qingzhi said, "filial piety follows the emperor, so frugality is easy to show, and your majesty follows the emperor, so frugality is difficult to show." Ningzong's daily support is like a poor man. His clothes were washed many times, and his clothes and shoes were mended many times. Now if he wants to make the virtue of thrift remarkable, he must surpass Ningzong. "Li Zongyu quickly adopted his suggestion.

He was awarded our time in Shao Shi and served in the national army, and still serves as an envoy of Liquan and a scholar of Yue. The emperor gave him a jade belt and a mansion in the West Lake fishing village. Zheng Qingzhi read the training code of benevolence and empathy for the emperor. He said: "Renzu's kindness makes him behave wisely, so he can make statutes, and the country is not slack or excited;" The wisdom of filial piety comes from one's own kindness, so it can cultivate and boost morale, and there is no particularly bad atmosphere in the country.

As soon as Zheng Qing came out of the court, the envoys followed. Some people demand new policies and new titles. Zheng Qingzhi said: "Changing the title of the country is just the time when the emperor ascended the throne. Resetting policy is a national event. What happened in the Han dynasty was not a distant thing, but it was not because of the change of prime minister. "
Worried about the frontier, the emperor ordered Zhao Kui to inspect the army as a special envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and to be in charge of the two states of Hu and Guang as a privy council. Both of them refused. Zheng Qingzhi became prime minister again and gave them strong support. Everything they asked for was not difficult. Zhao Kui and Chen Weihua went to the office. So Song Jun fought in Surabaya, Wokou and Muku, and they all won. Spring .. In nine years of the Republic of China, Zheng Qingzhi was awarded a surname, prime minister Zuo and a Tang Dynasty envoy. He didn't accept the position of a surname, but he is still a teacher. Zheng Qingzhi often feels that the country's wealth is exhausted because of raising soldiers, and that soldiers' expenses are in short supply because of issuing coupons. He considered other methods. Whenever a soldier moved to the border, he ordered the Privy Council to move troops to the nearest place according to the distance, and decided the order of transfer according to the urgency of the situation. It is also agreed that the troops will be stationed in the Huaihe River next year, and the troops will be merged to save supplies. First, it is convenient for Zhenjiang Ce Sheng Army to be stationed in Surabaya, both for public and private purposes.
The person in charge of this matter lost all his money to pay for the loss of salt. Zheng Qingzhi verified that those who violated the salt law were investigated and punished, and those involved were exempted from guilt, which enabled many people to survive. The shipping tax along the Yangtze River has always been very heavy, and Zheng Qing abolished it. For example, there is a tax item such as Dafachang in Yanzhou, and this part of the money belongs to the governments. Zheng Qingzhi called for its abolition and investigation of those who benefited from it. Their income is several times that of the government, and the money belonging to each government is compensated by the court.

He said: "Heaven is easy when it is difficult, but it is not easy when it is normal. Heaven has disasters, people have worries, and it is easy to respect heaven. In normal times, people are happy, so it is not easy to respect heaven. Why? Because when you are worried, you are afraid, and fear can turn disaster into good weather; When you are happy, you want to have fun, and happiness may turn good weather into bad weather. " The emperor was very happy, ordered historians to write down these words and wrote a letter to reward Zheng Qingzhi. In the eleventh year of Chun, Zheng Qingzhi resigned, but the emperor refused. Zheng Qingzhi was awarded the position of a teacher, and he declined strongly. The imperial court had something to do in Tang Ming. The emperor ordered Zheng Qingzhi to send two people to help him go to Tang Ming.

He was very ill, and he was still worried because it didn't snow. Soon it snowed heavily. He got up and said, "The emperor must be very happy to be an official celebrating the snow." He ordered people to hold the snow to the bed to watch. Zheng Qingzhi repeatedly asked for resignation and was rejected by the emperor. He played all the time, and the emperor made him a teacher, an ambassador of our Baoning Army, and an ambassador of Liquan. He retired after being made King of Qi. After Zheng Qingzhi's death, his legacy was sent to the court. The emperor was frightened, mourned him, suspended his state affairs for three days, and gave him a special official position, making him the king of Wei County and posthumous title the "Zhongding".
Zheng Qingzhi doesn't like to set up dissidents. Tang Jin once offended Zheng Qingzhi when discussing things. After Zheng Qingzhi became prime minister again, Tang Jin asked to resign. Zheng Qingzhi said, "If you want to be a gentleman yourself, who can be a villain?" I tried my best to keep the soup towel. Xu Qingsao once impeached Zheng Qingzhi, but Zheng Qingzhi appointed him to be in power together. Zhao Kui worked as a teacher for more than a year and asked to resign. The emperor didn't know how to arrange him. Zheng Qingzhi said, "It is not enough to reward him for not being the prime minister. Is it because I am in the position of prime minister that your majesty does not appoint him? " I will definitely not resign because Zhao Kui is the Prime Minister. I am willing to be left and let Zhao Kui be right. "The emperor finally agreed with him, but Zhao Kuangyin never came to work again.
Zheng Qingzhi's endorsement is correct, and most of them are not saved. He has a collection of 60 volumes of Wan An's works. Zheng Qingzhi has been promoted to Zaifu since he and Shi agreed to abolish Zhao, the king of economic aid, and became emperor. But it was Zheng Qingzhi's idea to appoint a gentleman during Duanping's reign. When Zheng Qingzhi became prime minister again, he was old, and his wife and children were in charge of all political affairs, so that those who were abolished took the opportunity to be appointed and were despised by the world.
