Zhang Ronghua was taught a lesson. There were too many twists and turns in a simple court meeting. “I’ve troubled Uncle Pei.”
“This old man treats you like a nephew. If I don’t give you pointers, who should I give pointers to?”
He pondered for a moment.
“Uncle Pei, I want to ask you for a favor.’”‘
“Just say it!”
“I have a cousin named Zheng Fugui who is on duty in the Eastern Palace. He is engaged tomorrow, but he doesn’t have a name yet.”
Pei Caihua laughed heartily.” I thought it was something important. Why do I need to mention such a small matter?” Bring him here in the future. Uncle Pei will be waiting for you in the residence.” “Thank you, Uncle Pei!”
As he spoke, he entered the inner palace.
There were many officials here. When they saw Pei Caicai bringing Zhang Ronghua along, the passers-by glanced at him and retracted their gazes. They had some understanding of the latter. He was probably the youngest official in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty. Now that he was being led by Pei Caicai, he was sending a signal to the outside world. Zhang Ronghua had his protection. If they targeted him, they would target this old man! Those who are iron-headed and not afraid of death, if you want to arm wrestle with this old man, come at me.
They understood this, and Zhang Ronghua naturally understood it too!
On the Amethyst Great Path, there were Human Emperor Guards everywhere. The essence, qi, and spirit that they emitted were stronger, and their fiendish auras were more terrifying. They were even more elite than ordinary Human Emperor Guards. Their cultivation levels were very high, and there were many of them.
From here, one would reach the Purple Extreme Hall.
The two of them stopped talking. They had already said what they needed to say. With a straight face and an expressionless face, they walked towards the Purple Extreme Hall. At this time, Zhang Ronghua deliberately took a step back and closed the door. They were uncle and nephew. Outside, especially in this occasion, they had to pay attention to propriety. Some rules could not be crossed.
It was his first time coming to the Purple Extreme Hall. It was majestic and luxurious, yet it did not lose its dignity and solemnity. Although it was a palace, it emitted a somber and heavy atmosphere that made people feel fear. There were a total of three doors, one main door and two side doors. The left side door was the door for civil officials. Those below the second rank could enter from here. The right side door was the door for military officials. Those below the second rank could enter from here. The main door was called the Purple Extreme Door. Officials of the second rank and above could enter through this door, or they had received special permission from Emperor Xia. Only then could they enter from here.
There were people from the Imperial Censorate watching at the side. If anyone made a mistake, they would immediately record it down and let you know what the rules were!
They parted ways outside the Purple Extreme Hall. Zhang Ronghua was now a civil official, a genuine civil official. Even those civil officials could not find any fault with him. He was knowledgeable and capable. He walked through the side door on the left. No one would jump out to take responsibility, and the Imperial Censorate would not impeach him.
There were two side doors on the left and right, with the left side being the most important, showing the status of civil officials in the court.
Pei Cai walked through the Purple Extreme Gate while he walked through the left gate. Entering the main hall, the palace was huge. What he saw was not luxury, solemnity, solemnity, or supremacy. At first glance, he felt that there were really many people!
The palace was huge, and there were hundreds of people in it at first glance. It was a black mass, and the lowest among them was Rank-4.
Civil officials, generals, dignitaries, royal family members, etc.
Pei Caicai had mentioned to him that the ranks were not random. They were arranged according to the departments. The three dukes stood at the front of the civil and military officials, and they stood in front of the five Pavilion Elders of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. They had a high status and were extremely important officials. Next were the five Pavilion Elders of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
The rest of the rankings were arranged with the column as the leader. The best position was in the middle. The more powerful the department, the closer it was to the center. The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was in the lead, and their positions varied according to their official positions. The higher the official position, the higher the position, the higher the position. The next best position was the subordinate department of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
For example, the Scholar Hall was under the jurisdiction of both the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and the Ministry of Rites. The manager had two choices. The first was to stand in the line of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, and the second was to stand in the line of the Ministry of Rites.
Zhang Ronghua was Pei Caicai’s subordinate, so he naturally stood in the line of the Ministry of Rites. However, he was the last one. Behind him was the Purple Pole Sect, which was less than three steps away from him.
There were quite a number of people paying attention to him in the dark and were not surprised by his standing. If he stood in the Prophecy Pavilion’s line, that would be called spectacular. It was no less than slapping Pei Caihua in public, making him lose face in the Purple Extreme Hall!
He looked around and scanned the entire hall from the corner of his eyes. He then withdrew his gaze. The first thing he felt was that Emperor Xia’s throne was made of purple gold and was even more expensive than gold. However, in terms of size, it was not as exaggerated as his golden dragon bed. Secondly, it was quiet. With so many people not making a sound, if one listened carefully, one could even hear a pin drop on the ground. He was fishing in the water and being invisible.
At the front of the line.
He Wenxuan didn’t turn around, but he had already guessed that Zhang Ronghua would be standing in the line of the Ministry of Rites. He wasn’t surprised by this, but he sneered in his heart. The show was about to begin.
As time passed, another fifteen minutes or so passed. Eunuch Yang brought two middle-aged eunuchs and walked in from outside. He was responsible for closing the Amethyst Gate, while the other two eunuchs closed the left and right gates and stood guard outside.
Heavy footsteps rang out from the inner gate behind the dragon throne.
Hearing the commotion, everyone’s spirits were lifted. They Imew that Emperor Xia had arrived. Zhang Ronghua also raised his head and looked forward. Emperor Xia’s expression was solemn and his aura was powerful. He wore a bright yellow dragon robe and walked in front. Every step he took seemed to shake the ground. The immense pressure of an emperor, a domineering pressure that looked down on the world, made people not dare to look directly at him, and a feeling of insignificance arose in their hearts.
His gaze was like the embodiment of supreme power. A casual glance could make people kneel on the ground in fear and break their hearts..
