Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, Swear Not to Go to Meishan

Chapter 341 Opportunities and Risks Coexist

Huang Dafa had been busy for most of the night, and he was full of energy. He didn't feel sleepy, but was full of energy. He got up before dawn to take a bath and change clothes, then had breakfast and prepared to go out to do business.

When a person is in a good mood, everything tastes delicious. Huang Dafa felt that the lean meat fire dragon porridge this morning was particularly fragrant and delicious. However, when he was enjoying the food happily, Shen Lian came in with eight sturdy-looking men with swords and other weapons hanging from their waists, which scared him.

"Ah... Lord Shen... Why... Why are you here?" Huang Dafa was shocked and quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up to salute.

"Congratulations, Vice President Huang." Shen Lian politely clasped his fists in return. He didn't expect that the information he provided to his father would change Huang Dafa's identity dramatically within a day. Not only did he receive the honor of being summoned by the emperor, but he also became the vice president of the Daming Chamber of Commerce and a small flag of the Jinyiwei.

Don't underestimate the position of vice president and Jinyiwei flag. It was appointed by the emperor himself. Even if this guy made a mistake, he had to ask the emperor for permission to remove his position as vice president and Jinyiwei flag.

The key is that the emperor attached great importance to the establishment of the Ming Chamber of Commerce and asked Jinyiwei commander Tian Boguang to send people to protect Huang Dafa, which shows that this guy is in great favor.

Shen Lian came to protect Huang Dafa on the orders of commander Tian Boguang. He brought eight masters with him. Four of them were dressed in casual clothes and served as Huang Dafa's personal guards. The other four were dressed in Jinyiwei Feiyu uniforms and wore embroidered spring swords on their waists. They were not only guards in public, but also supported Huang Dafa.

The emperor had said that whoever dared to touch Huang Dafa should be beaten to death without any scruples. The emperor would support them from behind.

"Ah... I thank the Lord for His Grace."

Hearing the Emperor's kindness, Huang Dafa was so moved that his fat body trembled. He knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the palace to thank the Emperor. He swore in his heart that he must do the things the Emperor had told him to do well, so as not to disappoint the Emperor's kindness and expectations.

Of course, for him, this was also his only chance to soar to the sky and become successful. Only a fool would miss it. Whoever blocked his way to promotion and wealth would be his mortal enemy, and he would not stop until he killed him.

"Come on, serve the meat porridge to Lord Shen." Huang Dafa was very good at handling things. He knew that Shen Lian and others came early in the morning and probably didn't have time to eat breakfast.

Well, even if they had breakfast, they had to ask someone to serve the meat porridge. It was their business whether they ate it or not.

Shen Lian and others really hadn't had time to eat breakfast yet. Moreover, even if they had eaten, they couldn't resist the tempting aroma of lean meat dragon porridge, so they didn't hesitate to eat it with big bowls.

Shen Lian's family is rich, but the breakfast is not as rich as Huang Dafa's. The eight Jinyiwei masters he brought with him have worse living conditions than him. They have to admit in their hearts that businessmen are rich.

Huang Dafa is really good at dealing with things. Because of the arrival of Shen Lian and others, he is not in a hurry to go out to do things. Before Shen Lian and others finish eating meat porridge, he ordered the maid to serve various cakes and fruits.

"Sir Shen, brothers, thank you for your hard work. I will leave my life to you." Huang Dafa happily clasped his fists and bowed to Shen Lian and others, and asked the housekeeper to present a red envelope.

He knew very well that risks and opportunities coexist. While he seized the only opportunity to rise to prominence in this life, he also had to bear the risks brought about, and the greater the benefits, the greater the risks.

The emperor was considerate and sent Shen Lian and others to protect him, which made him grateful. He wanted to give gifts to the emperor, but he was not qualified. He could only do his best to do the things the emperor asked him to do.

As for Shen and others, his life was really in their hands, so of course he had to treat them well. A big reward would bring courage. Only with real money and silver could they try their best to protect their safety.

He gave the eight Jinyiwei masters a red envelope of ten taels of silver each, and gave Shen Lian a silver note of one hundred taels.

The eight Jinyiwei strongmen all looked at Shen Lian eagerly, their eyes were self-evident. Ten taels of silver was equivalent to their monthly salary. Who wouldn't be jealous?

They didn't know Huang Dafa's true identity. He was not only their comrade, but also had an official position higher than them. If they knew, how could they dare to accept Huang Dafa's red envelope.

Shen Lian hesitated for a moment and accepted the red envelope. The eight Jinyiwei strongmen also happily put the ten taels of silver ingot into their arms.

Huang Dafa was secretly relieved when he saw that they all accepted the red envelope.
