Ming Dynasty: Regrets about the Jingnan Rebellion? I changed it in a dream!

Chapter 100 Zhu Di cried and felt regret for the first time
Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di's bloody hands and spoke frankly.

"Mother, my husband and I are of the same mind. If he makes a mistake, it is also my mistake."

"You can whip my daughter-in-law 200 times, and I have no objection."

She is not such a pretentious woman.

a.

As Zhu Di’s wife, how could she not know anything about the Fengtian Jingnan Rebellion?
Gao Chi once said that when Li Jinglong led his army to besiege the city of Peking, he also played a very important role.

Zhu Gaochi arranged the affairs of defending the city, while he himself tried to comfort the families of the soldiers in the city. Perhaps his role was not significant.

But... participation is participation.

There's nothing to defend.

Queen Ma was a little helpless. This is not the time for you two to show your affection.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi also stood up and spoke.

"Grandma, please don't hit my mother. It's my fault, and I will take his responsibility!"

After saying this, Zhu Gaochi stretched out his white and tender hands and protected his mother behind him.

In Zhu Gaochi's heart.

Naturally, he had no objection to attacking Zhu Di, since Zhu Di always scared him.

He felt no emotion at all when his father was punished.

But he couldn't accept beating Xu Miaoyun, as his mother's health was not very good.

Two hundred lashes, without any respite. Women are more sensitive to pain than men.

He might not be able to withstand two hundred lashes.

After all, he has been afraid of pain since he was a child.

But if I have to bear it on behalf of my mother, no matter how scared I am, I have to accept it resolutely.

Zhu Di was silent for a moment.

You little bastard, you didn't say a word when I was beaten just now.

Miaoyun was beaten and you stood up.

Is my position in Zhu Gaochi's heart so low?
Seeing this, Xu Miaoyun quickly pulled Zhu Gaochi behind her.

"Mother, Gao Chi is still young and his skin can't bear it. You should just hit me."

Queen Ma was very pleased to see Xu Miaoyun dare to accept punishment.

However, I am relieved.

She still won't show mercy.

He also turned a deaf ear to Zhu Di's words of wanting to be punished on his behalf.

She swung the branch and hit Xu Miaoyun's white hand, just a whip.

A conspicuous whip mark appeared on Xu Miaoyun's hand.

It seemed as if the next whip would result in blood.

Xu Miaoyun gritted her teeth and was tense.

Queen Ma did not give her a chance to breathe and continued to beat Xu Miaoyun's hand hard.

Two lashes! Three lashes! Four lashes.

Just four whips made Xu Miaoyun's hands tremble constantly.

And then, there were more than one hundred and ninety whips.

This made Zhu Di feel very distressed: "Mother, please let me take the punishment on behalf of Miaoyun."

Empress Ma ignored her and continued to whip Xu Miaoyun's hand.

After only thirty lashes, Xu Miaoyun's hands were shaking, not just her whole body.

It hurts so much.

At this time, the branches in Queen Ma's hands had broken into two pieces.

So she went out of the temple again and broke off another branch from the tree.

Peel and wash with clean water.

At the same time, she also asked her personal maid Yu'er to go to the Imperial Hospital to find a few imperial doctors.

After giving these instructions, Queen Ma returned to the palace and prepared to continue beating Xu Miaoyun.

Zhu Di shouted at this time: "Mother! Miaoyun is pregnant! If you want to hit someone, hit me, don't hit her anymore."

Hearing this, Queen Ma was slightly stunned.

"Pregnant?"

Because the imperial physician was unable to detect the pregnancy when it first occurred, Empress Ma didn't know.

But Zhu Di knew that he only needed to push Zhu Gaoxu's birth time back ten months to deduce the exact time of Xu Miaoyun's pregnancy.

When Empress Ma heard that Xu Miaoyun was pregnant, she felt sorry for her and stopped beating her.

If a pregnant woman is tortured, it will have a certain impact on the fetus.

It can be punished, but cannot be avoided.

For the crime of treason, she only gave him two hundred lashes, which was the utmost kindness she could do.

If Chongba were to come, it would not be as simple as whipping, but direct beheading.

"Fourth Brother, since Miaoyun is pregnant, I will let you take the blame for her."

"Do you agree?"

Zhu Di nodded: "I agree."

Immediately afterwards, Empress Ma continued to whip Zhu Di's hands with a whip.

Even though she was bleeding and her skin was torn, she had no intention of holding back.

However, Zhu Di had practiced martial arts for many years and had been whipped nearly four hundred times, so at most his hands would have been disabled for a period of time.

It won't have much impact.

After he finished smoking, Empress Ma felt very distressed when she saw Zhu Di's appearance.

However, she did not put down the whip.

Instead, she stretched out her hand and said, "You have committed such a heinous mistake, and as a mother, I am also responsible."

"It's my fault that I didn't discipline you well. I also take the blame for your mistakes."

Zhu Di hasn't reacted yet.

Empress Ma then used a branch to hit her own hands hard.

This scene made Zhu Di feel heartbroken.

Mother!!!

He quickly shouted: "Gao Chi, are you dead?! Hurry up and stop your grandma!"

Zhu Di had been kneeling for too long and his hands were already torn, so he was unable to stop it.

You can only call him Zhu Gaochi.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly hugged Empress Ma and pleaded for mercy.

"Grandma Huang, this is our fault. It has nothing to do with you."

"You shouldn't be punished for us!"

"If it doesn't work, just beat your grandson!"

However, Empress Ma ignored Zhu Gaochi, who was only two years old and had no power to stop Empress Ma's behavior.

At this time, Xu Miaoyun also said with some grief: "Mother, please don't be like this. This is a mistake made by our family."

"How can you take the punishment for us? If anyone has to take it, I will do it."

Xu Miaoyun endured the pain in her hands and grabbed the whip in Queen Ma's hand.

But even if Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi pleaded for mercy.

Queen Ma ignored it.

He just said calmly: "Miaoyun, have you forgotten everything I taught you?"

She stared at Xu Miaoyun.

Looking into Empress Ma's eyes, Xu Miaoyun, with tears in her eyes, slowly let go of the whip.

Suddenly, the only sounds in the entire hall were faint crying and the sound of whips hitting hands.

at this moment.

Zhu Di regretted it in his heart.

I regret what I have done and let my mother suffer this punishment.

I recalled every little thing my mother did for me, her care and concern for me, and then listened to the sound of her being punished and beaten for my mistakes.

Zhu Di's tears began to flow uncontrollably.

Zhu Yuanzhang's stick hit his buttocks, but he didn't say a word and didn't shed a tear.

The branch from Queen Ma hit his hand, tearing his skin and bleeding, but he didn't shed a single tear.

But when Queen Ma was punished for her own mistakes.

He cried.

Except, he cried once when Miaoyun passed away, which was not long ago.

He hasn't shed a tear in ten years.

Zhu Di choked up a little and called out sobbingly: "Mother..."

Queen Ma showed no mercy even when she was whipping herself.

The severe pain also made her own hands tremble uncontrollably.

Pain flooded her brain.

However, no matter how painful it is, even if my skin is torn apart.

She still didn't hold back.

Treat equally.

The same strength you used to hit Zhu Di is the same strength you use to hit yourself.

Empress Ma was already weak in energy and blood due to overwork, and she also beat herself.

This made his already weak body even worse.

soon.

Two hundred lashes, done.

Queen Ma could no longer feel the sensation in her left hand.

All I know is that my hands are bleeding.

Her face was a little pale, and Zhu Di felt a little sad when he saw this scene.

Why can’t the healing ability that Zhuang Mu gave himself heal superficial injuries?
The healing ability given to him by Zhuang Mu can only cure diseases, not skin injuries.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten to pieces.

After whipping him for a full six hundred times.

Her right hand was also a little weak.

Then, Queen Ma spoke to Zhu Di.

"After the punishment, I will not tell your father about this."

"But you need to tell him this in person."

"I don't know whether this world is a dream or reality as you said."

"Since you came here and want to change the future here, you have the heart to correct your mistakes."

"If you can really change the trajectory of this world, you can make Xiongying and Biaoer live longer."

"Then your crime of treason is nonsense."

"The punishment I give you does not mean that I forgive you, nor does it mean that Chongba will forgive you or your eldest brother will forgive you."

"It's not about the heart, but the deeds. I hope you can do what you promised."

This was also what she could think of.

The best solution.

She was not like Zhu Yuanzhang, who was very stubborn and believed that treason was a capital crime.

Because she was not the emperor, she was the empress and also Zhu Di's mother.

She couldn't do it, so she just killed Zhu Di and beheaded him for treason.

This is also the reason why women cannot interfere in state affairs. Sometimes, they will be affected by their emotions.

Especially when facing their children, mother and child are connected by heart and will always be affected by emotions.

After all, Zhu Di was born after ten months of pregnancy, and he was her own flesh and blood.

She couldn't really be that heartless.

But, let’s stick to the facts.

It is also true that Zhu Di plotted treason.

If this matter is not handled properly, future generations will follow suit, which will have a great impact on the entire country.

She cannot let her own ideas influence future generations.

"If possible, I will try my best to explain to you the reason for your rebellion."

"But I will not interfere with your father's decision."

"If your father really wants to kill you because of this matter."

"I……"

Empress Ma originally wanted to say that if Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to kill Zhu Di because of this incident.

She would respect Zhu Yuanzhang's decision.

But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

Could he really accept that Zhu Di was taken to the execution ground and beheaded?

Sometimes, I read a lot of books and think I am rational enough about many things.

But when rationality and sensibility really conflict.

She hesitated.

Zhu Di also kowtowed to Empress Ma at this time and said, "I understand."

"I am responsible for my own actions. If the emperor is determined to kill me, I will take the blame."

"Your son... has absolutely no objection."

"This life is considered as compensation to my father."
