郑康公 / Duke Kang of Zheng

郑康公 / Duke Kang of Zheng appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》07丨两起刺杀(1) as the ruler installed after 子阳’s remaining faction kills the Zheng ruler two years after Ziyang’s own death. The episode uses the succession to show that assassination can become a factional route to state capture.

The page is source-scoped. It records the episode’s political use of Zheng Kang Gong rather than attempting a complete biography.

《资治通鉴·周纪》07丨两起刺杀(2) gives the specific continuation: the killed ruler is 郑繻公, and Zheng Kang Gong is his younger brother.
