54. Preparation
Chen Yan didn't wake up until dark this night, Gu Qiaoxi had already asked people to prepare the meal, and when he saw that his father-in-law could be regarded as getting up, he said, "Is the father-in-law tired today?" Why don't you let your mother-in-law boil water and bathe for a while? ”
"No need!" Chen Yan stood at the door, always feeling that he seemed to have missed something recently, although there were not many things recently, but he was not very idle, even so, he still felt wrong. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Gu Qiaoxi was full of questions, it was not easy for her to ask questions suddenly, so she could only stand by Chen Yan's side and accompany her father-in-law in a daze.
Through Zhao Zongxuan's wedding today, although he is only a bastard at best, but after sleeping, Chen Yan tasted some tastes, that is, the three of them are really weak and pitiful, even if the official family intends to cultivate Zhao Zongxuan now, and gave him the big tree of the Liu family, but Zhao Zongxuan is still weak and don't want it. Look at the attitude of those courtiers towards Zhao Zongxuan today, and then compare it with Zhao Zongshi, it is really one foot in the sky and one foot in the ground!
After pondering for a while, and recalling the TV series he had watched in his mind, Chen Yan finally felt that he understood, why was it wrong, that is, the three brothers did not have their own hard power in their hands now! What is hard power? In short, there is no force value! Although his current body is not bad now, he is afraid that he can't do it with people, Di Yong and Zhao Zongxuan's kung fu is okay, but it has not reached the level of masters, that is to say, in case there is something in the future, the three brothers and their families do not have any protection!
"Qiaoxi, tomorrow you will let the people in the house go to my second brother's house to spread the word, let him come here, just say that I miss him, invite him to eat and drink!"
Gu Qiaoxi was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously replied: "But Xianggong, tomorrow is the first day of the second master's wedding!" ”
"The day after tomorrow." Chen Yan felt that this matter could not be delayed, once the three of them were all used by the people of the Runan County Royal Mansion to go out of Beijing as officials, wouldn't the families of the three of them be held in the palm of their hands? ! That's a big deal!
Gu Qiaoxi smiled bitterly, but she had no choice but to respond. In fact, she only recently discovered that she was really slowly falling in love with the man in front of her. Although his father-in-law is not as good as Di Yong and Zhao Zongxuan, he is not good at writing, but he has an excellent temperament, and he treats people leniently in his bones, but he is not indecisive, he is decisive, and he respects her very much, without the slightest contempt. Although a few strange words come out from time to time, they are very fresh, especially in the bed, and they can always play some tricks that make people blush.
It just so happened that Shuang'er also returned, so the three of them sat down together and began to eat dinner. According to the rules of a big family, this concubine is not allowed to eat at the same table with her father-in-law, but where would Chen Yan pay attention to this, so Gu Qiaoxi and Shuang'er slowly got used to it.
After dinner, Gu Qiaoxi began to teach Shuang'er to read and write as usual, and Chen Yan returned to the study to warm the book. It is also strange to say that although Gu Qiaoxi is very obsessed with Chen Yan in the first bed, he rarely stays at Chen Yan's place, and most of the time he waits for Chen Yan to fall asleep and then returns to his room, so that for most of the hours after dark, Chen Yan is alone in the study to warm books.
In the past, Chen Yan was able to read seriously, but today he wrote chaotically on the white paper, what Jinyiwei, what East Factory, West Factory, Internal Guard, what Yulinwei, obviously he made up his mind to establish a secret agency loyal to the three of their brothers. This kind of thing is not just something that can be done by playing any tricks, for his own sake and in the future, this is similar to the organization of the secret service agency in the future must start planning and establishing it now, otherwise it will be too late to wait for next year's tribulation.
"Nightshade." In the end, Chen Yan decided, and it was called this name, although there was a bit of a vulgar feeling, but this night shadow guard should be like a shadow in the dark night, which was imperceptible, but it was real. According to his concept, the night shadow guard was initially divided into two parts, one to investigate intelligence, and the other to be responsible for guarding. It's just that he and Zhao Zongxuan can't do this matter, it seems that Di Yong and Zhao Zongxuan still have to come together to discuss! The most important of these is money! It seems that this Malatang business is still too small, and I have to think of other ways.
Early the next morning, Chen Yan asked Gu Qiaoxi to send people to Di Yong's Mansion and Zhao Zongxuan's Mansion respectively to spread the word, asking them to come here after dark today. Although his temperament is not in a hurry, this matter is too important, and he must start planning quickly.
Although Gu Qiaoxi was a little surprised, she didn't say anything, although she didn't say anything to Chen Yan now, she was not much better, she was not much higher than Chen Yan in terms of mental talent, but there were some things that her little concubine could not mix.
Although Zhao Zongxuan had just gotten married, and he and Liu Xun were like glue, but after getting the news, he also gave up his wife and came to Chen Yan's house at night, and Di Yong sneaked out of the palace, so the three brothers began a closed-door consultation.
For Chen Yan's proposal, Di Yong and Zhao Zongxuan did not have any objections, but marveled at the foresight of their third brother, although this matter is a bit disagreeable, but in the state of seizing the heir, this is a hair!
Chen Yan thought about it for most of the night yesterday, and after pondering for a day today, he had already figured out the general structure of the Night Shadow Guard. This night shadow guard is divided into one and two parts and the dark department, one is to spy on intelligence, the second department is responsible for guarding, and the dark part is the hole card of the night shadow guard, and he doesn't plan to build it for the time being, and he will talk about it later, so he didn't say it just now. Although he was a sports student in his previous life, he could study well, and he didn't watch a lot of historical TV series, which he built with reference to the core structure of Jinyiwei.
The supreme commander of the Night Shadow Guard is naturally the commander, with two deputy commanders, and below is the first, second, and dark departments. The first and second parts each have five acts as the main affairs, and the dark department has three acts as the main affairs, for a total of thirteen acts as the main affairs of the night shadow guard. Except for the three acts of the dark department, the remaining ten acts are all under the orders of the commander and the deputy commander, and the three acts of the dark department are directly under the orders of the three brothers of Chen Yan and are not under the control of the commander and the deputy commander. Each of the three Chen Yan brothers holds a different token, and has the power to take over the dispatch of anyone who is the Night Shadow Guard at any time, which is equivalent to the Tiger Talisman of the Privy Council.
Di Yong thought for a long time with the teacup, and said, "Third brother, I'm afraid you're referring to the frame of the Imperial City Division, right?" But that's fine! Brother agrees! It's just that the manpower of the second department of the night shadow guard can be recruited as a brother, after all, there are many people in this army who are strong in martial arts and loyal, and the manpower of this department and the leader of the two departments of the night shadow guard are brothers, I am afraid that there is no too suitable candidate. ”
Zhao Zongxuan naturally agreed, looked at Chen Yan, and said with a wry smile: "This is a thing that costs money like flowing water!" I pondered that this matter was too big, and even if our brothers went bankrupt, I am afraid that we would not be able to make up 100,000 yuan. Third brother, why don't you go and find out with my father-in-law when I return to the door the day after tomorrow? ”
To establish such a secret organization that is not too small, money is naturally very important, no matter what era, money can make people move, isn't it? Chen Yan's current situation is also a well-off state, and it is already the limit to be able to take out 10,000 taels of silver, not to mention Di Yong, that little bit is really not enough to see, although Zhao Zongxuan has some family background, but he can't make up the 100,000 yuan that Chen Yan said. This is only the cost of the early stage, and the cost of the later stage is even greater, so this money is definitely a big problem.
"100,000! Liu Jiaken took it out and gave you such a slightly improved sect disciple to take over the heir?! ”
Relying on the Liu family, Chen Yan didn't think about it, but considering the Liu family's somewhat wavering attitude now, he was really not sure what the reaction would be once the Liu family knew their plans?!
Di Yong nodded approvingly, these families all have their own rules of survival, the Liu family is one of the few remaining thousand-year-old families in the Great Song Dynasty, relying not on speculation, but on absolute dependence on imperial power, in short, it will not be involved in any force, achieve absolute neutrality, and only obey the orders of the emperor.
Zhao Zongxuan thought about it and said in a low voice: "Why don't you take out your spicy hot recipe and hand it over to the Liu family, which can be regarded as a shareholding, and with the financial resources of the Liu family, it will naturally be able to spread all over the country, and then the dividends that the Liu family will give to our brothers in a year will be able to support the Night Shadow Guard, right?" ”
Chen Yanyan's heart suddenly moved, and his face showed a thoughtful look, why didn't he think that the Liu family's financial resources were naturally undoubted, if he could really open Wang Ji Malatang all over the Great Song Dynasty, it would not only be a matter of money, in the future, this Wang Ji Malatang would not only be enough to cover the existence of the secret agency of the Night Shadow Guard, but also allow the Night Shadow Guard to have more convenient conditions to spy on the news and carry out the guard. And their brothers didn't lose the Liu family, the value of this spicy hot secret recipe is not comparable to ten thousand gold!
As soon as Zhao Zongxuan said this, he immediately regretted it, you must know that this Malatang formula is an exclusive formula carefully developed by his third brother, and now Bianliang City has opened at least 30 Malatang shops, but no matter which one tastes as good as Wang Ji, the business is naturally not as good as Wang Ji, so for merchants, this formula is comparable to the root of life!
Di Yong's mind was naturally similar to Zhao Zongxuan's, so he glanced at his third brother's uncertain face, and was about to make a round, but he heard Chen Yan say: "This is very good, just do it!" ”
The big tree of the Liu family does not rely on white! If he can really take this opportunity to pull the Liu family on the boat, Chen Yan is almost fifty percent sure that he can help Zhao Zongxuan ascend to the position of prince.
