"Heaven Ying Prefecture doesn't lack merchants from all over the world. You have to hurry up with the establishment of a union, recruitment of agents, and opening of chain stores.”
Zhu Gaochen looked at Wan Sanqian with a serious expression. He knew that the old man didn't have many years left to live. If he didn't plan ahead, once the old man passed away, he would follow in his footsteps.
"Three thousand, understood." "What name should we give the guild?" Wan Sanqian nodded.”
"To gather the world's business talents and help each other in the same boat, it's called the Freemasons!”Zhu Gaochen said.
"Freemasonry!"
Wan Sanqian kept muttering the name of the guild. Finally, his eyes lit up."This guild name is good!"
"We must complete these three things as soon as possible!”Zhu Gaochen said seriously.
Seeing Zhu Gaochen's solemn expression, Wan Sanqian naturally did not dare to slack off. After chatting with him for a while, he left the study to do his work.
At the same time.
The banquet hosted by Emperor Zhu Di of Ming Dynasty was about to begin.
Zhu Gaochen brought Sun Ruowei to the Imperial Palace.
Outside the Hall of Heaven.
It was already the autumn season, so the banquet was held outside the hall.
The scene was very lively.
Every now and then, the envoys would stand up from their seats and toast the Ming Emperor Zhu Di.
When the handsome Zhu Gaochen appeared at the banquet with the beautiful Sun Ruowei.
It instantly attracted everyone's attention.
When Zhu Di saw Zhu Gaochen and Sun Ruowei, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What a perfect match.
At the same time, at the banquet, a pair of cold eyes were fixed on Sun Ruowei, who was beside Zhu Gaochen.
The owner of this gaze was Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han.
Zhu Gaoxu, as the behind-the-scenes financial backer of Jingnan's orphan, never expected that Zhu Gaochen would bring Jingnan's orphan Sun Ruowei to the banquet.
"Your son, Zhu Gaochen, respectfully requests Your Majesty's respect!”
"My daughter Sun Ruowei, respectfully requests the emperor's respect!”
Zhu Gaochen and Sun Ruowei came to the emperor and greeted Zhu Di.
"Zhen An, take your seat." Zhu Di was in a good mood tonight. He smiled and ordered the two to sit down.
As Zhu Gaochen and Sun Ruowei took their seats, the banquet officially began.
Everyone was enjoying the singing and dancing while drinking and singing. All countries came to court, and the four seas were peaceful. The scene was lively.
"Fourth brother." At this moment, Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi came to Zhu Gaochen's side with a wine cup.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Zhu Gaochen was puzzled.
"Where is this girl from?" Zhu Gaochi looked at Sun Ruowei and asked in a low voice.
"Boss, you already have a crown princess. You have to be careful. Aren't you afraid that the crown princess will skin you alive?”Zhu Gaochen was surprised.
"What are you thinking!"
Zhu Gaochi quickly waved his hand and explained,""I heard that the old master is very satisfied with this girl and intends to let her be your Nan Wangfei. Our mother died early. As your brother, shouldn't I help you check?”
Zhu Gaochen nodded subconsciously.
"Let this girl toast to the old man. If the old man is happy today, he might announce your marriage tomorrow.”As the eldest brother, Zhu Gaochi was naturally worried about his younger brother Zhu Gaochen's marriage.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochen could not let Sun Ruowei go.
If there was an engagement, Zhu Gaoxu would definitely jump out and expose Sun Ruowei's identity.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochen waved his hand and said,"No, no, absolutely not."”
Seeing that Zhu Gaochen was unwilling to let Sun Ruowei toast, Zhu Gaochi finally said,""Since you won't let this girl go, then you go. The old master loves you very much. Take advantage of today's banquet for the envoys of various countries to go and toast to make the old master happy.”
"Alright then."
Zhu Gaochen couldn't refuse, so he picked up his wine glass and walked over to Zhu Di.
However, after taking a few steps…
There was a whoosh.
A hidden arrow whizzed past Zhu Gaochen and flew towards Zhu Di.
Everything happened too quickly.
By the time Zhu Gaochen reacted, the hidden arrow had already hit Zhu Di.
Fortunately, the arrow missed and hit Zhu Di's sleeve.
"Protector beast!"
Zhu Gaochen was the first to react. He swept his gaze across the banquet venue and shouted,""Assassins! Ming Guards, protect the Emperor!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The second arrow followed.
This time, Zhu Gaochen saw that the person who fired the arrow was a man dressed in strange clothes.
Time seemed to freeze.
Zhu Gaochen couldn't care less about the strangely-dressed assassin and could only run towards Zhu Di as fast as he could.
At the same time, the scene was in chaos.
The fully-armed Ming Guards rushed out from all directions.
Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, Han King Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhao King Zhu Gaosui all rushed towards Zhu Di.
Although it was the royal family.
Usually, everyone would scheme against each other.
However, everyone still had absolute kinship with the old man.
In the end, in everyone's eyes, Zhu Di was not only an emperor, but also a father.
How could he not be worried about his father's safety when he knew that there was an assassin's ambush?
Zhu Gaochen used the acceleration effect of his shoes to rush to Zhu Di's side and protect him behind him.
Ding ~~~
The arrow hit Zhu Gaochen's chest, making a metallic sound.
Because Zhu Gaochen's clothes had a defensive effect, ordinary swords and sabers could not hurt him at all, let alone hidden arrows.
Soon, thousands of Ming Guards surrounded the scene and captured the assassin.
Zhu Di's face was pale. It was obvious that he was old. He was still a little afraid of sudden assassinations.
