Life
The Zheng family had for generations held the post of Qingping Guan (淸平官) of Southern Zhao, and by the time of Zheng Maisi they had seized control of the Southern Zhao government and sought to usurp the throne.
In 897, Zheng Maisi had Yang Deng (楊登), a court attendant of Southern Zhao, kill the then-emperor Longshun. Longshun's son Shunhuazheng succeeded him.
In 902, after Shunhuazheng died, Zheng Maisi killed Shunhuazheng's eight-month-old son and more than 800 members of the imperial clan, destroying Southern Zhao. Zheng Maisi ascended the throne as emperor and named the state Dazhonghua.
In 909, he died. He was given the posthumous name Seongmyeong Munmu Wideok Hwan Hwangje (聖明文武威德桓皇帝), and his son Zheng Yinmin succeeded him.
