Chapter 211: Purple Que Pavilion

The king of Donghan was not worried about the so-called "chaos of the ministers", and he was relieved to hand over the power to this prime minister, and vigorously promoted business and education in the Central Plains.

Prime Minister Wen lived up to his trust, and after 20 years of hard work, the entire Donghan economy was forcibly increased by three times.

The people of Donghan have also changed from being almost illiterate to being literate.

Even in recent years, the imperial examination system in the Central Plains has been implemented one after another, which has shaken the Donghan Dynasty, which originally advocated military merit and fiefdom.

……

The Donghan Palace has more than 400 buildings, less than half of the imperial palace of the dynasty.

The most famous ones are the Golden Gate Hall and the Purple Que Pavilion.

The Jinque Hall is modeled on the Jinluan Hall in the Central Plains, and it is the place where the king of the Eastern Han Dynasty deals with the government.

Since the king of the dynasty Chu Buxiu ascended the throne, under the suggestion of the prime minister general, changed the three-day dynasty to a daily dynasty, although the hundred officials do not have to wear court clothes to hold the court wat, but they also need to abide by the rules, and they must not be absent from the court on time.

At first, some people didn't care, thinking that this was just red tape in the Central Plains, if they did it obediently, wouldn't it be the same as the sissies in the Central Plains court?

But under the successive heavy punishments, this group of self-proclaimed iron-clad Donghan officials also had to give in and become the "sissy" they despised the most.

The Golden Gate Hall represents the power of the entire Eastern Han, and the Zique Pavilion, which is second only to it, is naturally an important place.

The Purple Pavilion is an attic building with a total of nine floors.

Ten years ago, it was just a place for the royal family to store their treasures.

Later, after renovation, the display shelves were replaced with bookshelves, and the exhibition tables were replaced with various book files.

It has been transformed into a library.

From the first floor to the top floor, the library increases in importance as the floor increases.

From the first floor to the third floor, there is a collection of state records from various parts of Eastern Han, where officials can work.

The fourth to sixth floors were the places where the "scribes" stayed, and these scribes were the literati who entered the court through the imperial examination.

The officials of the Eastern Han Dynasty were mainly military attachés, and the mood for writing was serious, and even if these literati passed the imperial examination, they would be obstructed and unable to successfully enter the court as officials.

General Wen knew that this matter could not be rushed for a while, so he retreated and let them enter the Zique Pavilion, which was enough to stop the mouths of the officials in the DPRK and China.

But even so, the three-story building of Zique Pavilion is still the most desirable place for the literati of Eastern Han.

On the seventh floor of the Zique Pavilion, there are various important files, including both royal secrets and border layouts. It is guarded by a special person, and no one is allowed to trespass unless there is a warrant from the king.

As for the terrifying secrets hidden in the last two layers, outsiders do not know.

At this time, a man dressed in purple gold and luxurious clothes appeared outside the Purple Pavilion.

The man was in his early fifties, dressed in a magnificent purple and gold python robe, and the cuffs and collar were inlaid with a golden fox fur that was rare even in Donghan.

It is this fox fur trim that makes it completely different from the Central Plains python robe.

The soldiers guarding the attic knelt down as soon as they saw the man, but the man didn't care and walked directly into the attic.

As soon as the dignitary man stepped into the first floor of the attic, his brows couldn't help but furrow, and the huge floor was empty and empty.

The man's footsteps did not stop, and he went directly up the stairs to the second floor, and there were people on the second floor, but there were only two or three.

When the two or three people saw him, they were all shocked, and they were about to come forward to pay their respects, but he waved his hand to stop them and went directly to the third floor.

On the third floor, there were still a few scattered people, and the man's frowning brows couldn't help but relax after seeing them.

All of them were in vain, sitting upright in their chairs and bowing their heads to correct the papers.

After hearing the movement, several of them raised their heads, and when they saw the comer, they were all startled, and immediately got up to pay homage.

The dignitary man waved his hand as before, signaling that there was no need to be polite. Then he walked straight to an old man who had never looked up from beginning to end, and stood there quietly.

The old man, who was already a little blind and deaf, raised his head as if he had a feeling, and looked a little excited when he saw the visitor.

"The King's ......"

As he spoke, he trembled and stood up to worship.

The man who was called the king smiled, pressed the old man back into his seat, and said:

"The old general doesn't have to be polite."

"I don't know ...... the king is coming"

"It's okay, I'll go around casually, the old general is old, I hope don't work hard, take care of your body."

"King Xie cares, and the old minister is willing to fight for Donghan for another ten years."

These words come from the mouth of such an old man, and if others listen to them, they will only find it funny.

But Chu Endless will not feel the slightest ridiculous, the old man in front of him has been fighting horses for more than 40 years in his life, and has made countless contributions to the entire Donghan.

However, there are fewer and fewer such dedicated courtiers in Donghan.

After saying some words of concern, Chu Buxiu left the third floor and stepped on the steps of the fourth floor.

The bustle of the fourth floor contrasts sharply with the desertion of the three floors below.

Twenty or thirty people gathered here, each of them looking down and flipping through the scrolls, and very few people noticed Chu Buxiu's arrival.

Some of the people who were close to the stairs were the first to spot him, and after only looking up, they lowered their heads and went on with their work.

It's not that these people are so rebellious, it's that they don't even know that the king in front of them is the king.

These scribes achieved good results in the imperial examination, but they did not have the opportunity to enter the ranks, but were directly transferred to the Zique Pavilion, they had never met the king from the beginning to the end, and they did not think that they would have the opportunity to meet the king.

Chu Buxiu didn't plan to stay here for long, just glanced at it briefly and continued to walk up.

And then the fifth and sixth floors are the same.

There were twenty-three literati on each floor, but none of them could see who he was.

Although the king of Donghan is wearing a python robe, the rules of the Donghan hierarchy are not as strict as those of the dynasty, and the python robe originated from the Central Plains, many officials in the court and China will also prepare a python robe and occasionally wear it in style.

Donghan believes in white wolves, and only the king can wear white wolf robes and white wolf headdresses.

In addition, even if you wear a dragon robe and a crown to wander around, no one will care about you.

……

Coming to the staircase leading from the sixth floor to the seventh floor in one breath, the soldier in charge of guarding recognized him and knelt down and saluted.

Chu Buxiu directly skipped the seventh floor and went up to the eighth floor.

On the eighth floor of the Zique Pavilion, a middle-aged man with graying temples was looking down and studying a game of chess.

The man was dressed in a literati gown that was rarely seen in Donghan, and various files were neatly placed in front of the desk.

These dossiers include not only paper thread-like books that are common in the Central Plains, but also animal skin picture books from the Donghan side, and even a few uncommon bamboo slips in the corners of the table.

This man who bowed his head and played chess alone was the one who assisted the current king to sit on the throne by himself, and later launched a series of reforms and revolutions that changed the entire pattern of Donghan.
