Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 201
Wu Mei only wrote the names of five people on the rice paper that Wu Mei gave Gao Ming, but under their names, Wu Mei marked all their information.

This information includes what business they are doing, how much property they have, what kind of person they are, who their deadly enemies are, and so on.

And most importantly, according to the information recorded on Wu Mei's rice paper, Gao Ming knew that these five people could be said to be the "big patrons" of the Datang Royal Club!
As early as half a month ago, Gao Ming asked people to auction the one-day wooden sign every day. To put it bluntly, he asked those merchants to spend money to buy the pass of the Datang Royal Club.

At that time, Gao Ming asked Wu Mei to pay attention to the businessmen who came to the Datang Royal Club to see if anyone was the kind of person who was willing to spend money in the club and was eager to enter this circle, because it was related to Brilliant plan.

The purpose of Gao Ming's establishment of the Datang Royal Club is to make money, and then use the money to develop the cultural and military strength of the Tang Dynasty, and then defeat the aristocratic family and consolidate his dominance.

However, it is not enough to rely solely on the Datang Royal Club, because no matter how high-end the Datang Royal Club is, it is just an entertainment place. It is impossible for Gao Ming to use it to control Datang’s economy. Just throwing bricks and starting jade.

Now, the brick has been thrown out, and the jade has also been attracted, so Gao Ming plans to do it.

After reading all the contents of this rice paper, Gao Ming narrowed his eyes immediately.

"Meiniang, send someone to send out invitations now, invite the five people on the list to Furong Garden, and say that I will hold a banquet for them!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wu Mei was stunned for a moment.

"Send them invitations and invite them to Furong Garden?"

Seeing Wu Mei's surprised face, Gao Ming suddenly smiled, and then nodded towards her.

"That's what I mean. By the way, tell them that the time for the banquet is Youshi. Okay, let's do it!"

Seeing that Gao Ming was so serious, Wu Mei could only nod her head.

"Yes, His Royal Highness, Mei Niang will do it now!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Mei hurriedly went downstairs, and after she went down, Gao Ming raised his chin towards Hu Zi with a smile.

"Huzi, let's go back to Furong Garden."

"Yes!"

When Gao Ming and Hu Zi returned to Furong Garden, the people sent by Wu Mei had already arrived at the home of the first businessman with the invitation.

"Is this Chen Yu's home?"

Hearing the knocking sound from the door, the servant of the Chen family immediately ran to open the door, but when he saw the person standing at the door, he immediately gasped.

"hiss……"

At this time, standing at the door were the two Hundred Knights of the Royal Club. Their silver armored stomachs made them look majestic. This posture immediately made Chen Yu's servants a little scared.

"Two... Two officials, what can you do with my master?"

Hearing his words, one of the Hundred Knights spoke.

"We are ordered by the crown prince to send an invitation to Chen Yu, let him come out quickly!"

"what?"

Hearing what the hundred cavalry guards said, the servant immediately widened his eyes, and after he realized it, he quickly saluted the two hundred cavalry guards at the door.

"Two officials, wait a moment, the younger one will find the master right now!"

After speaking, he threw off his feet and ran towards the backyard, shouting as he ran.

"Master, master, something serious happened..."

At this moment, Chen Yu was drinking tea in the house, and his wife was persuading him earnestly.

"Lang Jun, you'd better not go to the Tang Dynasty Royal Club anymore. Our family's golden building's income in January is not enough for you to spend three days in the Royal Club. If it goes on for a long time..."

Before she finished speaking, Chen Yu waved her hand.

"A woman's opinion, what do you know?"

After speaking, Chen Yu stood up, and then cupped his hands towards the door.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness is gentle and gentle. Unfortunately, I have never seen him except that time, but I believe that as long as I see him again, I will definitely have a chance!"

Seeing Chen Yu's resolute look, his wife immediately bit her lip.

"Now Mr. Lang has spent five or six thousand guan in the royal club, which is already nearly half of my Chen family's property. If this continues, once the funds cannot be turned over, our family will collapse. Could it be that Mr. Seeing the Chen family collapse like this? Uuuuuuuuuuuu......"

Having said that, she couldn't help crying, and seeing the weeping one, Chen Yu gritted her teeth, and a trace of struggle flashed across her face.

"me……"

Just when Chen Yu didn't know how to choose, he suddenly heard the servant's shout from the door.

"Master, master, something serious happened!"

Seeing the servant rushing over, Chen Yu immediately gasped.

"Hiss... Could it be that the golden building of my Chen family has collapsed?"

After finishing speaking, Chen Yu immediately felt a little dizzy. Seeing that he was a little unsteady, his servant hurried forward to support him.

"My lord, it's not Jinlou, it's His Royal Highness who sent you an invitation."

As soon as the servant's words fell, Chen Yu suddenly woke up, and he immediately grabbed the servant's clothes.

"What did you say? Did the prince send me an invitation?"

Looking at the excited Chen Yu, the servant immediately nodded his head like a chicken chopping rice.

"Yes, yes, the two officials are waiting at the door!"

After hearing the exact answer again, Chen Yu suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, ma'am, did you hear that? His Royal Highness hasn't forgotten me, I knew there would be such a day, I always knew..."

As she spoke, tears flowed from Chen Yu's eyes, and her wife wept even more.

Of course, this time it was tears of joy.

Just after the application time, the well-dressed Chen Yu came to Mingde Gate with the invitation. He had just left the city gate when he saw an acquaintance, and Chen Yu frowned immediately.

"Isn't this Liu Rong? Why is he here? Did he also receive an invitation from His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Thinking of this, Chen Yu immediately called out to Liu Rong in front of him.

"Huh? Isn't this Brother Liu? Where are you going?"

Hearing Chen Yu's voice, Liu Rong turned around immediately, smiled at him, and stroked his beard.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Chen Xian. I received an invitation from a nobleman and planned to go to a banquet. I don't know where Chen Xiandi is going?"

Looking at Liu Rong's frightened face, Chen Yu immediately guessed that he had also received the invitation, because Chen Yu had seen Liu Rong more than once in the Royal Club.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu simply made it clear to him.

"The nobleman that brother Liu mentioned, could it be the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Hearing Chen Yu's words, Liu Rong immediately showed a look of surprise.

"You know that? Don't you also..."

Seeing Liu Rong's surprised look, Chen Yu suddenly took out the purple invitation card from his bosom with a proud expression on his face. The moment he took out the invitation card, he seemed to see the twinkle in Liu Rong's eyes. The color of fear.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yu immediately became happier, and he grinned at Liu Rong.

"Brother Liu, why don't we go together?"

Hearing Chen Yu's words, Liu Rong nodded quickly.

"Let's go together!"

When Chen Yu and Liu Rong arrived at Furong Garden, they found that there were already three people standing outside the door. After seeing each other's faces clearly, Chen Yu and Liu Rong were shocked.

"Is this Zhao Bo, the largest cloth merchant in Chang'an City?"

"There are also Wu Laoliu and Tian Yi. Could it be that they are also invited?"

Thinking of this, Chen Yu and Liu Rong immediately looked at each other, and now they stepped forward to greet each other.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Wu, Brother Tian, ​​don't come here unharmed!"

"Oh, Brother Chen Xian and Brother Liu are here too."

"Nice to meet you!"

Immediately, the five people began to greet each other enthusiastically, but when the five people were chatting, they were almost testing each other, intending to obtain some useful information from each other.

While they were chatting, time passed quickly, and when it was almost You hour, the gate of Furong Garden opened suddenly, and Wu Mei, who was wearing an emerald green palace attire, walked out from inside, and then smiled slightly at the five people at the gate. smile.

"Several guests, His Royal Highness welcomes you!"

Hearing Wu Mei's words, the five of them quickly smiled at her.

"Thank you, girl!"

"Please!"

Under the leadership of Wu Mei, Chen Yu and the other five immediately followed her into the Furong Garden, but after entering, the five of them were all bent over and lowered their heads. Look around.

Because they are full of awe here.

During the Sui Dynasty, the Furong Garden belonged to the royal forbidden garden. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin gave it to Wei Wang Li Tai. Almost everyone in Chang’an City knew about it, but what the Furong Garden looked like, people can only rely on their imagination. guess.

To put it bluntly, the nature of Furong Garden is like the Zhongnanhai of later generations. It belongs to the place where those in power live, and not everyone can enter it casually.

But now, Chen Yu and the others have received Gao Ming's invitation to enter the Furong Garden. This feeling is like a small commoner in later generations being invited by the leader to go to Zhongnanhai for dinner.

Walking on the bluestone road of Furong Garden, Chen Yu and others felt that their whole body became light and light, that feeling was like stepping into the clouds, and there was a sense of refreshment all over their bodies.

It's so cool!
When Wu Mei brought them in front of Gao Ming, they reacted and immediately knelt down towards Gao Ming.

"Grassman Liu Rong pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Caomin Tianyi pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and wishes His Royal Highness good luck like the East Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan!"

"Grassman..."

Looking at this group of overly excited businessmen, Gao Ming was a little dumbfounded.

"What kind of blessing is like the East China Sea? Shoubi Nanshan. I invite you to the banquet, and it's not my birthday. Get up!"

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

After everyone got up, Gao Ming smiled and nodded. After looking around at the five people, Gao Ming immediately fixed his eyes on Chen Yu, and then he smiled at Chen Yu.

"Chen Yu, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

Hearing Gao Ming's friend-like greeting, Chen Yu immediately knelt down with an excited "plop".

"Everything is fine for Caomin, thank you His Royal Highness for your concern!"

Looking at Chen Yu who was kneeling on the ground answering, Gao Ming was a little astonished, but what surprised him even more was that the other four people were looking at Chen Yu with envy, as if they wished to kneel in front of Gao Ming instead of Chen Yu .

Seeing everyone's expressions, Gao Ming suddenly became a little dazed again.

"Is there something wrong with the way I opened it?"
