The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 731 Dystocia
Great victory in the Southwest, the government and the opposition are naturally excited.

After the news was published in the Ming Pao, the people cheered and cheered.

The new dynasty was established when people's hearts were in turmoil and they were seeking stability and peace. The rebellion of these southwestern chieftains was just like a catalyst, making this turmoil worse, so that some people with ulterior motives took the opportunity to spread rumors and confuse people's hearts.

It's just that I didn't expect this great victory to come so quickly. After the news came out, it was like a blow to the head for these people with ulterior motives, and they were suddenly at a loss.

Some people are happy, some people are surprised.Some people sigh, and naturally some people are angry.

However, the Black Ice Terrace is naturally not for dry food. Before the good news arrives, it has already set its sights on the target, and only waits for the order from above to arrest people.

As soon as the good news arrived, the higher-ups immediately issued an order to arrest them. There was a lot of chaos inside and outside the capital, and the prison was overcrowded very quickly.

After the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, Jinyiwei officially withdrew from the stage of history, while Black Ice Terrace fully inherited the structure of Jinyiwei, and the prison, an institution with a strong spy political color, was also preserved.

Although Jiang Chuan did not advocate harsh torture and rule of law, but in the early days of the founding of the country, when the world was not completely peaceful, he was not opposed to using torture to deter some people with ulterior motives.

After entering the imperial prison, few people can escape unscathed.There are many tough people in history, but there are more people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, which is even the normal state of human beings.

These people were notorious for the first time. After listening to those black ice fans introduce the usage of those tortures with expressions, many people collapsed and surrendered immediately, and even became incontinent.

The interrogation therefore went smoothly, and the mastermind behind these people was soon dug out.

The list was reported, and Jiang Chuan took a look, all of them were former court officials, and most of them were clans and dignitaries.

For these people, Jiang Chuan originally planned to take gentle measures to deal with them gradually, but he didn't expect them to jump out on their own initiative, so he didn't need to show any mercy, and just ransacked the house directly.

So Caishikou in the capital city was busy for more than ten days in a row, killing heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers.

Naturally, all the family properties of these people were returned to the national treasury, and Jiang Chuan, who was worried about money, was greatly relieved.

With the help of the east wind of the great victory, another group of rebellious officials and thieves were cleaned up, and the old officials of the former court suddenly fell silent.

However, under the deliberate control and guidance of the imperial court, public opinion was jubilant, and the people who ate melons and cakes expressed their joy at the end of these remnants of the previous dynasty.

Jiang Chuan is seen by many people as a tyrant, but this is only aimed at the upper class. To ordinary people, he is regarded as a benevolent king.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Chuan does not rely so much on these upper-level people, whether it is from the confidence of winning the country, or the current ruling foundation, but more on the fortress base and the hearts of the people.

He knew very well in his heart that if he could not suppress these people from the beginning, these people would not be able to be used by him.

The ultimate goal of all the current methods is nothing more than to kill chickens and monkeys, to train the existing bureaucracy, to let them know what things can be done, what things must not be touched, and they will die if touched.

After all, the time for Daqin to establish a country is still short, and it cannot be done overnight if these former courtiers are to completely stop thinking about it.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan's current method is to speak with a knife, and at the same time vigorously select and promote new people to replace these people, so as to completely control the government and the opposition.

If these people are honest, they don't have to use knives themselves, so they might as well give them a chance to be farmers.If you are dishonest, you can only copy your family and exterminate your family, and everything will be over.

Of course, the most fundamental way is to make the situation in the country and the surrounding area stable and safe, so that there is no chance for these people to cause trouble.

Although it was the first time for Jiang Chuan to be an emperor and he lacked experience, on the one hand he was assisted by Liu Ji, Hu Zongxian, Su Qin and other famous officials through the ages; But it's not at all clueless.

……………… I am the dividing line for resuming updates………

The first snowfall in Beijing this year was more than half a month earlier than in previous years.

It started to flutter early in the morning on October 29, and it became bigger and bigger. The roofs of the palaces, the bluestone floors, and the walls of the palace were soon covered with a layer of white.

At this moment, the Kunning Palace, the Queen's bedroom, was in a hurry. The maids and eunuchs who came in and out were all cautious, not daring to vent their breath.

The queen is about to give birth.

Bai Jinxiu began to go into labor pains at midnight, and the maid who had prepared for it immediately notified Jiang Chuan.

When Jiang Chuan arrived in a hurry with his people, several imperial physicians were already at the ready.

The stable lady who was found in advance was already waiting inside, hot water, cotton cloth boiled in boiling water, and even the hemostatic bandages used in the army were all ready.

These things have been prepared long ago, counting the days, the queen should be born within a few days.

Even so, Jiang Chuan was also on pins and needles, burning with anxiety.

The voice of Bai Jinxiu shouting and screaming in pain completely overwhelmed the voice of Mrs. Wen yelling to cheer up and come out with all her strength, and hearing it in Jiang Chuan's ears made him even more anxious.

Restricted by the level of medical care these days, the maternal mortality rate and infant mortality rate are not low.Even if Bai Jinxiu is the queen, there is still this risk.

"Where's Dean Li? Where is Dean Li? Hurry up and invite him!" His Majesty the Emperor, who hadn't changed his face in front of Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops, had a gloomy and frightening expression, and his irritable tone was like a tiger on the verge of madness. , so that the court ladies and eunuchs around him were silent.

"Your Majesty, Dean Li has already been guarding inside." Qi Xuan beside her said softly.

Jiang Chuan froze for a moment, then shook his head. He was so concerned that he was confused, but he didn't even realize that Li Shizhen was inside.

"Xuanxuan, you said that the queen will be fine, right? She is a martial artist and is in good health. She will be fine, right?"

Jiang Chuan squeezed Qi Xuan's hand unconsciously, not noticing that Qi Xuan's hand turned white because of his excessive force.

A few days ago, Qi Xuan had been brought into the harem by him and made a noble person.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the queen and the little prince are in good fortune, and the mother and child will be safe." Qi Xuan gently held Jiang Chuan's hand, enduring the pain and comforting her in a soft voice.

"Auspicious people and auspicious people, I hope God will bless my wife and children, mother and child are safe." Jiang Chuan murmured to himself.

"Your Majesty, look at the arrival of Ruixue, the queen is about to give birth. This is a good omen, and it means God's blessing." Qi Xuan said again.

Reminded by Qi Xuan, Jiang Chuan seemed to remember something, strode out, stood in the courtyard of Kunning Palace, folded his hands, closed his eyes and muttered to himself in a low voice.

Not long after, the hair of the emperor, who was only wearing a thin dragon robe and ordinary clothes, was soon covered with a layer of white snow.

Zhang Hai, the eunuch who often followed Jiang Chuan behind him, wanted to go forward to put a cloak on Jiang Chuan, but was blocked by Qi Xuan.

"Your Majesty is praying to heaven for the empress and the little prince, please don't bother me at this time."

Zhang Hai knew that the nobleman Qi was very trusted by the emperor, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly stepped aside.

If someone approached at this time, they would definitely be able to hear what the emperor muttered to himself:

"Emperor Empress, please keep my wife and children safe. If mother and child are safe, I would rather give up ten years of life."

Before crossing, he was a complete materialist.But after time-traveling, he was not so determined. Even things like time-traveling can happen, so don't be too surprised about ghosts and gods.

It's just that he still believes that my fate is up to me, but at this moment when his wife is giving birth, it's the first time he has become a husband in two lives, and he, who is about to become a father, also panicked and started praying for heaven to come.

An old man with a serious face came out of the bedroom in a hurry. It was Li Shizhen, the principal of the Supreme Hospital and the current director of the General Hospital of the National Defense Forces.

"Dean Li, how is the empress?" Qi Xuan hurriedly went up to meet her and asked anxiously.

Li Shizhen's face was solemn, and she hesitated to speak, which made Qi Xuan's heart skip a beat, and her complexion turned pale instantly.

"Dean Li, how is Jinxiu?" Jiang Chuan came over at some point, staring at Li Shizhen and asked.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. The empress sees that the situation is difficult, and your Majesty needs to make an early decision." Li Shizhen hesitated and said in a low voice.

Jiang Chuan's figure flickered, and his face paled instantly.
