In the southern part of the capital, the Blood Tiger Gambling House, the most profitable place in the hands of the Blood Tiger Gang, has been turned into ruins. Smashed gambling equipment is scattered all over the street. The chips that usually represent money are soaked in the smelly rainwater.
Anyone dared to pick it up. On the side of the road, there were women and children surrounding a dozen gambling house stewards and guards who had their legs broken, crying and shouting. But no one dared to curse the damn perpetrators with words, or even showed resentment.
None of them dare to have it.
More than forty members of the Red Sword Club in red clothes and red trousers stood around indifferently. They were maintaining order and at the same time announcing their arrival to everyone in Nancheng.
The same story and similar scenes are happening tonight in various cities and towns in the capital. Pawn shops and brothels under the control of the Mafia Sect were smashed by a group of fierce Red Sword Society men, and another group of Red Sword Society masters controlled the Weihe Gang.
Gang leader Han Jianghe raised three outer rooms, and then directly bulldozed the three luxurious courtyards.
The cold summer rain has been falling steadily, and there are signs of getting heavier. Tonight, the three major underground forces in the capital, with the support of a powerful nobleman, came out with all their masters to surround and kill Wang Junlin, and no one could
Unexpectedly, the peerless murderer actually used himself as bait, taking advantage of the three major underworld forces' available resources, and sent out the gang members of the Red Sword Society and his masters to seize their territory.
After tonight, as long as the poisonous general Wang Junlin is still alive, he will use the red knife to control most of the underworld forces in the capital at night in his own hands. But... can Wang Junlin survive tonight?
…
…
After Yang Jian fell into coma, Yang Guang placed him in the Hall of Renshou, implying that he wanted Yang Jian to recover as soon as possible. As for his true thoughts, no one knows.
While King Junlin of Nancheng, Nie Xiaoyu and his entourage were fighting against the masters of Gaoxian Yinmen, something unusual happened in Renshou Hall.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is awake." A chamberlain who was responsible for serving Yang Jian in Renshou Palace hurried to the imperial study room and reported to Yang Guang.
"What, Father, he's awake." Yang Guang's expression changed as he was reviewing the memorial. According to what many imperial doctors said, Yang Jian could not possibly wake up. Yang Guang had always believed this, but now he actually woke up.
"It's good to wake up! Father finally woke up." Yang Guang's face showed joy and he hurried to Renshou Hall.
He felt inexplicably nervous along the way. According to the imperial doctor's diagnosis, his father would not survive more than three months. As long as he waited for three months, he would be able to ascend the throne and rule the world. He had been waiting for this day for ten years.
After several years, it was finally time. Yang Guang closed his eyes. His heart was full of expectations. He had too many ambitions to realize.
During this period of time, his father was in a coma, and he would come and sit quietly beside his father for half an hour every day. The reputation of the prince's benevolence and filial piety had already spread throughout the palace and beyond.
But he has also been very busy recently, and it is no exaggeration to say that he has many things to do.
On the one hand, he has to handle national affairs on behalf of his father, and the daily memorials will consume most of his energy and time. On the other hand, he also has to weigh, analyze, and figure out the internal struggles and various internal struggles among the important officials of various factions and various aristocratic families.
Think carefully, especially to keep track of the deployment of military forces in various places, so as to prevent any accidents and chaos caused by young people who have the intention to rebel during the period when the emperor is seriously ill.
The most important thing is that his elder brother, the former prince Yang Yong, and his youngest brother Yang Liang are still alive. For the sake of belonging to the world's scholars and his reputation for benevolence and righteousness, he does not want to cause trouble at this juncture, so he has not killed Yang Yong.
and Yang Liang, but on the other hand, the existence of these two brothers has always been a thorn in his heart.
He had already planned to kill Yang Yong and Yang Liang as soon as his father died and he took that position.
These things made Yang Guang extremely worried and worried. He had not had enough sleep for more than a month, his face was rapidly losing weight, and his eyes were bloodshot.
After getting the news, Crown Princess Xiao Yinfeng also rushed over to accompany the prince to see her father. Xiao Yinfeng was the daughter of Xiao Kui, Emperor Xiaoming of the Western Liang Dynasty. She was of Chinese origin, had a gentle personality, and was both talented and beautiful. Although at this time she had already
Thirty-six years old, but still graceful and beautiful.
She married Yang Guang in the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign. The couple has lived together for 21 years and has two sons and one daughter. The couple has a deep relationship. Yang Guang also loves his wife deeply and is not close to other women.
Xiao Yinfeng felt that her husband had too few heirs, unlike his elder brother Yang Yong who had given birth to ten sons. Especially since her husband was the prince and was about to inherit the throne, too few heirs would be detrimental to the country.
After Xiao Yinfeng's persuasion, Yang Guang finally accepted a concubine, and she is currently four months pregnant, which makes Xiao Yinfeng quite happy.
Seeing that her husband was exhausted and very nervous, she persuaded him softly: "Erlang, it is God's will to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, but it is human nature that the father is dying. Erlang, don't think about what will happen after he ascends the throne. The most important thing at the moment is to do more."
Father, please pray."
Yang Guang was grateful for his wife's thoughtfulness, patted the back of her hand gently, and sighed: "Even so, the imperial doctor clearly said that it is impossible for my father to wake up, but he woke up suddenly. This matter is a bit strange, as you know
Xiaoxiao has been watching, and today Wang Junlin asked Zhaoer to bring news to me. He also found traces of the old thief Gao Ying in the capital, how could I not be careful."
At this time, a eunuch hurriedly came over, bowed and saluted, "His Royal Highness, the Holy Lord, has an audience!"
Yang Guang nodded and came to the door of Renshou Hall. He saw Hou Quande, the commander of the internal and external officials, personally guarding the door. When the latter saluted him, he stared at Hou Quande and whispered: "Hou Quande, you are still unwilling to be loyal to me.
"
Hou Quande was neither humble nor arrogant, and said expressionlessly: "This old slave is only loyal to His Majesty."
Yang Guang snorted coldly, adjusted his clothes, and was about to enter the Hall of Renshou. He remembered something again and said to the attendants beside him: "Go and ask King Jin, King Yuzhang, and the eldest princess to come into the palace to visit my father.
"
The attendant quickly agreed and left quickly.
Because Hou Quande was reluctant to be loyal to Yang Guang, Yang Guang never had complete control over the entire palace, and Renshou Palace was always under the control of Hou Quande's internal and external officials.
The Hall of Renshou was under the control of Hou Quande and was extremely tightly guarded. Even Yang Guang's guards were not allowed to enter at will. Before Yang Jian was in coma, he had deliberately spread rumors that he was killed by Yang Guang. This made Yang Guang, who was very happy with his achievements, extremely
Angry, so whether it was sincerely or just to show the world, he was extremely careful in this regard. When entering and leaving the Hall of Renshou, he only brought four personal guards from the East Palace to protect his safety. Even so, these four guards
They were also not allowed to enter the inner palace where Yang Jian was.
The defense inside the Hall of Renshou is divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers. The inner layer is led by Hou Quande and 500 internal and external marquis officials. The outer layer is occupied by 5,000 forbidden troops, controlled by Yang Guang's confidant Dou Mingcai. They are on duty in six shifts, and each shift is on duty for six hours.
, of course, there are tens of thousands of forbidden troops stationed outside the palace.
