鄭雲達，系本滎陽。 Zheng Yunda came of a line originally from Xingyang.

雲達為人誕譎敢言，已登進士第，去客燕朔，朱泚善之，表為掌書記，妻以滔女。 Yunda was boastful and bold in speech; having passed the jinshi, he went to sojourn in Yan and the northern frontier; Zhu Ci favored him, appointed him chief secretary by memorial, and gave him Zhu Tao's daughter in marriage.

泚將朝，使雲達先入奏，同府蔡廷玉譖於泚，奏貶為平州參軍。 When Ci was about to attend court, he had Yunda enter first to present a memorial; Cai Tingyu of the same headquarters slandered him to Ci, and he was memorialized for demotion to military adjutant of Pingzhou.

滔代泚將，復辟雲達為判官。 When Tao replaced Ci as commander, he again recruited Yunda as executive officer.

雲達數漏其語以怒滔，故滔論廷玉等，皆得罪死。 Yunda repeatedly leaked their words to anger Tao; therefore Tao impeached Tingyu and the others, and all were condemned to death.

滔助田悅，雲達諫，不從，遂棄室自歸。 When Tao aided Tian Yue, Yunda remonstrated; when his advice went unheeded, he abandoned his household and returned on his own.

帝在梁，雲達依李晟，晟表以禮部侍郎為軍司馬，時時咨逮戎略。 When the emperor was at Liang, Yunda attached himself to Li Sheng; Sheng memorialized appointing him vice minister of rites as army marshal, and frequently consulted him on military strategy.

雲達自劾「不能教，恐赤臣家」。 Yunda impeached himself, saying, "Unable to teach him, I fear I will bring shame upon our household."
