Outside the outskirts of the capital, in front of the Zhao Palace.
Zhao Cong got out of the car and glanced at the golden door nails on the vermilion gate, aligned in nine rows both vertically and horizontally.
Above the gate, a large plaque with a red-gold dragon on a blue background, inscribed with the words Zhao Palace.
Zhao Cong entered the gate and saw the main hall.
In front of the main hall, on both the left and right sides, stood a pair of ebony couplet boards.
On one side it read: Pearls and gems on the seat shine like the sun and moon.
On the other side it read: The brocade on the hall dazzles like smoke and clouds.
On the door of the main hall, a similar large plaque with a red-gold dragon on a blue background.
Inscribed: Fairness and Harmony.
Looking through the main door inside, the floor was paved with gold bricks, red columns embraced by dragons.
In the grand hall, seven chairs made of rosewood on each side, totaling fourteen.
