Chapter 171: Pass Token (I)
Although the Tang Dynasty Royal Club has only been open for two days, it is already on fire, and it is a mess. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
People who have entered the club are triumphantly boasting about their experiences to others, while people who have not entered are pretending to be "insiders" to speculate, and under their publicity, the Tang Royal Club has quickly become a hot topic in Chang'an City.
Now in Chang'an City, anyone who thinks he has an identity, no matter whether he has entered the Tang Royal Club or not, as long as others ask, they all say that they have entered, but there are very few people who can really take out the pass token.
It is normal for such a situation to occur, because among the tokens issued by the Tang Royal Club, the gold tokens and silver tokens are in the hands of the princes and nobles, and even the copper tokens are in the hands of officials who have served for more than ten years, so everyone naturally has few opportunities to see these tokens.
It is no exaggeration to say that the token of the Tang Royal Club now reflects a person's identity.
The princes and princesses can say that as long as it is born to Li Shimin, even if they have just learned to walk, they can get a gold token printed with a dragon and phoenix pattern.
But the ministers don't have this treatment, except for the three rank officials, who can get the silver token printed with the tiger crane depends on Li Shimin's mood.
Because these tokens were sent by Li Shimin to the ministers, in the eyes of the ministers, these tokens are naturally the emperor's opinion of them.
If you don't even have a copper galloping horse token, you need to work hard, otherwise your career is doomed.
As the so-called "scarcity is expensive", everyone used to hang jade pendants around their waists, but from the second day of the opening of the Datang Royal Club, everyone began to use the pass token of the Royal Club as an accessory and hung it on the waist, and there are many people who do this.
Now that he is in the court, he doesn't need to look at the official uniform, just by looking at the token on his waist, he knows who he is.
The gold dragon and phoenix token is naturally the prince, the silver tiger and crane token is the important ministers of the court, and the rest of those with copper signs are ordinary officials, which can be said to be clear at a glance.
And after the next dynasty, when everyone left the hall in twos and threes, the most talked about topic was also the Tang Dynasty Royal Club.
"Brother Liu, you have free today!"
"Brother Zhao Xian is like inviting me to the royal club to talk about a game? Tea please! ”
"Hahahaha, it's easy to say!"
Of course, these are the officials who got the tokens to say this, and those who didn't get the pass tokens are a little distressed.
"Lord Zhao, do you have time to go to my younger brother's house today?"
"Oh, Lord Wang, it's really unfortunate, I have already asked Lord Zhao to go to the Tang Royal Club to play chess today, why don't you go with Lord Wang?"
"But I don't have a passpass!"
"Tsk, that's a pity, let's talk about it another day. Mobile phone users are invited to browse M. for a better reading experience. ”
“……”
Those officials from poor backgrounds can say that because they don't have much money themselves, and they rarely even go to restaurants, let alone high-spending places like the royal club, so it doesn't matter whether they have tokens or not.
But for those officials who come from a family of gate lords, the situation is different.
Under Li Shimin's deliberate actions, all the officials who belonged to the "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes" gate valves, except for the ministers above the third grade, who received a silver brand, did not even get a bronze brand.
is an official in the same dynasty, but others have it themselves, if it is an official position or power, it will be counted, but this is just a pass to an entertainment venue, which makes them embarrassed by the favor of these self-proclaimed "wealthy nobles"?
Lu Zhi, as the person who supervised the production of these brands, naturally knew some insider information, so when those Lu officials who did not get the token found him, he immediately waved his hand confidently.
"Leave this matter to me!"
Of course, Lu Zhi didn't dare to mint the token of the royal club privately, he planned to go to the East Palace to find Gao Ming to solve this matter, in his opinion, the token was just a trivial matter.
In the face of such a confident Lu Zhi, the young Lu officials suddenly had a feeling of being uplifted, and under the reverent gaze of everyone, Lu Zhi began to inflate himself a little.
Obviously, this is not a good thing, because when a person starts to inflate himself, he tends to forget something very important.
Lu Zhi also forgot about it, he forgot that there was a minor little Lori and an underage tiger in the East Palace.
So the next morning, Gao Ming just got up, and before he finished a set of radio gymnastics, he was interrupted by a panicked sword.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not good, Lord Hubu Shangshu Lu is here!"
Looking at the panicked appearance of the sword, Gao Ming suddenly frowned a little strangely.
"He's coming, he's coming, what's there to be afraid of, he's not a tiger...... Belch...... Tiger? ”
Speaking of this, Gao Ming suddenly turned his head to look at Su Wan'er.
"Wan'er, where are the sons and Benben?"
“……”
Looking at Su Wan'er, who opened her mouth but didn't say a word, Gao Ming suddenly slapped her head.
"Alright, I got it!"
After saying that, Gao Ming couldn't catch up with the radio gymnastics, and after he instructed the waiter to prepare breakfast for him, he walked briskly in the direction of the front yard.
As soon as he entered the front yard, Gao Ming was once again stunned by the familiar scene in front of him.
Lu Zhizheng, who was dressed in an official robe, was lying on the ground, his official hat fell about two meters away from him, and Li Mingda was standing aside with his mouth covered and snickering.
Of course, these are not the most important, the most important thing is that at this time, the Siberian tiger Benben, which is more than half a person tall, is lying on his body, and at the same time, a big mouth is still covering half of Lu Zhi's head.
The only thing that surprised Gao Ming was that this time Lu Zhi didn't shout, after he saw Gao Ming coming, he just showed a hint of pleading towards him.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, save my ......"
“……”
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming suddenly rubbed his temples with a headache, and then raised his eyebrows at Li Mingda.
"Son, don't apologize to Lord Lu soon."
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Mingda suddenly stretched out his clove tongue mischievously, and then blessed Lu Zhifu.
"Master Lu, I'm sorry, Benben didn't mean it, you forgive it!"
Looking at the pitiful Li Mingda, a wry smile suddenly appeared on Lu Zhi's face.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, in fact, it doesn't matter if Weichen forgives it now, what matters is whether it is willing to forgive me or not."
"Hee-hee!"
Hearing Lu Zhi's words, Li Mingda couldn't help laughing, but when she saw Gao Ming's warning eyes, she quickly covered her small mouth, and then ran towards the courtyard next to her, shouting while running.
"Run, go, drink mare's milk!"
"Whew......"
Hearing Li Mingda's greeting, Benben immediately let go of Lu Zhi's head, and then ran away with Li Mingda with a loud roar, and disappeared after a while.
At this time, Gao Mingcai ran helplessly to help Lu Zhi up, and by the way, he picked up his official hat and returned it to him.
"Lord Lu is frightened, is he injured?"
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Lu Zhi immediately shook his head, and then showed a helpless face.
"It's not hurt, it's just that the head is wet, Your Royal Highness the Prince, why does this tiger of the princess like to bite Weichen's head so much?"
Looking at Lu Zhi with a puzzled face, Gao Ming thought for a while, and then smacked his mouth with some uncertainty.
"No one else has ever been in a situation like yours, maybe this is its way of recognizing you, I think your relationship can only be expressed in one word."
"What words?"
"Bonds!"
“……”
Lu Zhi couldn't understand why he had a bond with a tiger, so he was silent, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh.
"Alas, His Royal Highness the Prince, in fact, I came this time to ask for something."
Seeing that Lu Zhi took the initiative to change his voice, Gao Ming naturally couldn't ask for it, so he immediately laughed.
"Lord Lu, but it doesn't matter, as long as it's within my ability, I will definitely not refuse!"
Gao Ming said that it was useless to be a burden at all, anyway, to put it bluntly, he was pretending to be bold, and when the time came, he would be able to do it, and it would not be too late to make excuses if he couldn't do it.
Lu Zhi didn't know what Gao Ming was thinking, and when he saw him so bold, he suddenly had a smile on his face.
"Actually, it's about the galloping horse token, there are a few juniors in my family, and I plan to go to the Tang Royal Club of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to see the world, so I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be accommodating."
Hearing his words, Gao Ming immediately understood that the "juniors" that Lu Zhi said must have wanted to enter the royal club but did not have a pass token, so Lu Zhi came to the door with a begging.
After thinking about this, Gao Ming immediately laughed.
"Those juniors of Lord Lu can join the ranks? You also know that the galloping horse tokens of my Tang Royal Club all require official status. ”
The tone of the Tang Royal Club was set by Gao Ming a long time ago, and he took the elite route, so Gao Ming naturally would not change because of Lu Zhi's words, but Lu Zhi seemed to understand this, and after Gao Ming's words fell, he quickly nodded.
"There are a total of twelve people, all of whom have already entered the office, and they are officials above the seventh grade, and there are no bad deeds during their tenure, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees, Weichen will go back and let them prepare the money to buy the token!"
Hearing Lu Zhi's words, Gao Ming suddenly smiled slightly, and then waved his hand at Lu Zhi.
"Lord Lu, you are wrong, this money is not the money to buy tokens, but the construction fee that they voluntarily sponsored to the Tang Royal Club, Lord Lu understands what I mean, right?"
After speaking, Gao Ming also raised his eyebrows at Lu Zhi, looking at his expression, Lu Zhi suddenly nodded in understanding.
"I understand, I understand...... What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said was that Weichen had lost his words just now, and Weichen would go back and ask them to prepare to sponsor the construction fee of the Tang Royal Club, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no other instructions, then Weichen would leave first. ”
Seeing that Lu Zhi was so "sensible", Gao Ming suddenly smiled even more happily.
"Then I'll wait for Lord Lu's good news in the East Palace, by the way, my sister was stubborn just now, or I'll let someone send you to Shang Pharmacy!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Lu Zhi immediately burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too worried, how can a mere tiger cub withstand me? Your Royal Highness the Prince, farewell! ”
After speaking, Lu Zhi turned around and left with a wave of his sleeves, looking at his departing figure, Gao Ming suddenly frowned.
"Huh? How do I feel that Lu Zhi's words just now are a little familiar, as if I have heard them somewhere......"
