Chapter 1: The Restless Prince
Northern Song Dynasty, the early years of Xuanhe, Bianliang, Tokyo.
Bianliang City, known as the reputation of the city that never sleeps in the East, at night, the bright lights illuminate the whole city as bright as day, making people feel like they are in a fairy tale world.
It's just that no matter how bustling and lively the city is, it also has its dark corners...
Zhao Yan was dressed in a black short-sleeved arrow suit, holding an iron ruler, accompanied by two sturdy guards, and stood on the steps in a darkly lit alleyway with blazing eyes.
In front of him was a group of young men of the same age as him, holding various weapons such as wooden sticks and iron rulers, and their expressions were eager to try, standing in the alley in the dark.
Tonight, Zhao Yan led people to gather here, because they wanted to fight another gang of gangsters in the south of the city, and the victorious side would become the leading big brother in the south of the city.
The resident population of Bianliang, Tokyo has long exceeded one million, and in a huge city, it can be said that such a battle for turf is staged in different corners every day.
Zhao Yan, nicknamed Brother Xiaoyan, the first brother of the new faction in the south of the city, is bold and righteous, and his friends are very convinced of him and are willing to obey his command.
It's just that no one knows that this little brother actually has another prominent identity, that is, the eighth son of Emperor Huizong today, His Royal Highness King Yi.
Doesn't it sound surprising that the emperor's noble prince would wander the streets and fight with others? And this is not the most magical, in fact, the soul of His Royal Highness King Yi has already been occupied by an old ghost dove in the twenty-first century.
So now this Prince Yi is an out-and-out traverser.
Traveled to the ancient prince, and didn't enjoy it with brocade clothes and jade food, but risked being impeached and wandered the streets, isn't this buddy's head kicked by a donkey?
Of course, Zhao Yan's head was not kicked by anything, but as a traverser, of course he knew what happened in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The battle of Jingkang, the two emperors of Huiqin finished their calves, and the one who failed the ancestral foundation was called clean, not to mention countless innocent people, even with their wives and children, seven aunts and eight aunts, etc., were all packed and taken away by the Jurchens, think about that scene, how can it be described by a tragic word?
Zhao Yan traveled through the royal family of this era, if nothing changed, the end could be imagined, but he was just an idle king, he had no soldiers, no power, and he was powerless to change anything.
In addition, the imperial court system in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty was there, and it was impossible to change this tragic history by relying on normal channels, so it was necessary to find another way.
Zhao Yan's predecessor, the eighth son of the emperor, is also a very interesting person, he is different from other royal children, he is not enthusiastic about power, he doesn't like the kind of life of walking horses and eagles, and he doesn't like to read, but he just wants to be a street fighter.
From the preferences of this predecessor, it also made Zhao Yan have some vague ideas, if he can find a way to leave the capital, can he do something with the identity of the prince?
The prince of the Great Song Dynasty is not like the prince of the Ming Dynasty, when he reaches the age, he is driven to the fief to scourge the place, in the Song Dynasty, without the emperor's order, you will stay in the capital honestly! And it's not a special case, even if you go to the place, you're still a powerless and powerless prince.
In fact, it is not impossible to do anything without power or power, but there is one thing that must be had, and that is silver.
The last thing that the Great Song Dynasty lacks is silver, and the prince's treatment is better, but there is no problem with those silver being used to spend all day and wine, if you want to complete the goal in Zhao Yan's heart, it will be far from enough.
And no matter what era it is, powerful gangs are undoubtedly one of the most profitable trades, Zhao Yan is now developing in this direction, he not only wants to be an ancient version of the big brother of the rivers and lakes, but also has to be a licensed boss...
Zhao Yan's predecessor's biological mother was Liu Guifei, but Liu Guifei died early due to illness, and entrusted the young Zhao Yan to her best friend Empress Zheng before she died.
Empress Zheng originally had a son, but she died of illness at a young age, and later never gave birth to a son except for her two daughters, so she poured all her mother's love into her best friend's son.
Otherwise, with His Royal Highness the King of the Righteous and Righteous Empire, how could he not be able to get through the wind at all? If it weren't for Empress Zheng's support in secret, it is estimated that the actions of Zhao Yan's predecessor would have been stabbed to his father, Emperor Huizong.
In the darkness, suddenly a rush of footsteps came, and then I saw a young man squeezing through the crowd quickly, and came to Zhao Yan and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yan, something is not quite right, Luo Yachun didn't know where he found twenty or thirty helpers, I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower."
Zhao Yan frowned when he heard this, and said, "Do you see who they are?" ”
"It seems to be the house slave of the rich and noble family, and he also brought a fat man, who looks like a person with status, and Bucktooth Spring is waiting like a dog"
Listening to the words of the brother who reported the news, Zhao Yan's eyes couldn't help flashing a different color, and he said fiercely: "I can't care so much, success or failure is in one move, kill Luo Yachun, after the south of the city, it will be our brother's world, so tonight Luo Yachun is to invite the emperor Lao Tzu, and this battle must also be fought."
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and under the wise leadership of Brother Yan'er, their young gangsters have a higher and higher status in this part of the city, and they have hardly suffered any losses, so it can be said that they don't know what it means to be afraid.
"Brother Yan, give the order! There are many people who use a bird, and the guy in our hands is not a vegetarian."
"Yes, Brother Yan, if it's not clear, let's come to the dark, and greet them with lime first, and the quasi-guarantee can catch them off guard"...
The splatters who wander the streets don't know what morality is at all, and Zhao Yan is also a person who only looks at the results.
Raised his hand to stop everyone's gossip and began to assign tasks.
"Fat Tiger, you take ten brothers to the roof on the left, Song Zhong, you take ten brothers to ambush on the right wall, the others follow me, wait for me to lead them into the ambush circle, first greet them with lime, and then we will fight at the same time, we must end before the city patrol officer arrives"...
These ignorant teenagers don't know that the people who suddenly appeared around Luo Yachun were simply found by Zhao Yan, and it is important to clean up Luo Yachun, but that fat man is the ultimate goal, because the fat man is none other than the son of the famous Gao Yanei, the son of the current court Gao Taiwei.
Gao Yanei doesn't need to be introduced, this kid's lack of virtue can be described as a long line.
If you want to say that Zhao Yan actually has no grudge against Gao Yanei, the reason why he wants to clean him up is to say that it sounds good is to eliminate harm for the people, and to go deeper, it is to break into fame.
There are many casinos and green buildings in Bianliang City, and if you want to get a lot of wealth, it is undoubtedly the fastest way to get money by bringing these places under your control.
The government is only the manager of the open face, and the person who really controls these places is actually the legendary gangster brother.
And if you want to achieve this goal, you must make a big event that is enough to shake the underworld of the entire capital, otherwise how can you lower the other characters in the capital?
So Gao Yanei's task tonight is to cooperate with Zhao Yan to complete this fame...
