However, as soon as Ji Wuchen finished speaking, a series of messy and trivial footsteps could be heard. The leader of the group looked like a palace supervisor. His skin was slightly white and he did not have a beard.
"The king has ordered Wang Jian and Ji Wuchen to enter the palace!”
A feminine voice rang out, sounding neither male nor female. It made Ji Wuchen shudder. This was the first time he had heard a eunuch's voice since he came to this world, and it really made his hair stand on end.
"General Wang, Mister Ji, His Majesty is waiting for you in the palace. Come with me quickly."”
Wang Jian bowed slightly to that person and said with a smile," Thank you for leading the way, Eunuch Chang Yong." Ji Wuchen also gave a light promise and followed behind Wang Jian silently.
Chang Yong nodded with a smile and led the way out of the manor.
On the way to the palace, Chang Yong smiled and said,""I heard the two young masters talking about the return of the king. They were full of praise for the general. This time, if there are no accidents, the general will probably be promoted again. It hasn't even been a year. Including this time, the general has been promoted seven levels in a row.”
Wang Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly." If I can't complete the mission that His Majesty has given me, then I'll lose my head. If I complete it, I won't avoid making others jealous. It's really difficult for me to be a doctor.”
Chang Yong nodded his head in agreement." This is what it means to be popular and have many troubles. However, don't be afraid. The King trusts you and lets you take charge of the palace guards. Naturally, he won't take these gossips to heart. I will also remind the King of your loyalty from time to time. However, in the future, I will have to rely on the General to take care of many things in the family.”
"Gonggong is too polite."
Chang Yong smiled and glanced at Ji Wuchen, who had been silent all the way. Ji Wuchen subconsciously looked over. Their eyes met in the air and they smiled at each other.
Ji Wuchen muttered to himself. Judging from Chang Yong's behavior, he must have a high status in the palace. He should be the King's personal attendant. This person looked polite and spoke in a soft tone, but there was a hidden meaning. He must be shrewd.
This reminded him of Zhao Gao, the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture in the Qin Dynasty. He wondered what position he held in the palace at this moment.
In the time for two incense sticks to burn, Wang Jian and Ji Wuchen had already arrived at Xianyang Palace with Chang Yong." Reporting to Your Majesty, General Wang Jian and Mister Ji have arrived.”
"Call them in."
"Yes, sir!"
Wang Jian and Ji Wuchen entered the main hall and bowed. They were arranged to sit at the tables on both sides, where fine wine and delicacies were already prepared.
"On this trip to Handan, General Wang was able to safely escort my wife and children back. This is a great merit. I am very gratified and will promote you to the left Shu Chang and continue to hold the doctor's order.”
When Wang Jian heard this, he hurriedly stood up and replied,""Your Majesty, you must not."
King Zhuang Xiang was stunned and asked in confusion,""Why not?"
"This subject has already been promoted six levels in a row within this year. From a small public official, with the King's grace, I've been promoted all the way to an official. I've also received the King's appreciation and am in charge of the palace guards. Such a promotion and grace is no longer in line with the ancestral system. Now, the King has promoted me four levels to the rank of Zuo Shu Chang, which is even unheard of in the past dynasties of the Qin country. This matter will not only bring about unhealthy winds, but also cause the King to criticize. This subject is uneasy. If the King cares about this subject's loyalty, he only needs to be promoted one level to a public official and that would be enough."Or perhaps you can reward me with some gold, silver, and jewelry. In my opinion, as a subject, although fame and fortune are good, it's not as good as going too far. If Your Majesty still insists on doing this, then let me go to the battlefield next time and make contributions. At that time, Your Majesty will reward me again. I have no objections."”
King Zhuang Xiang stroked his beard and smiled,""General Wang is indeed someone I like. Just as you said, I will promote you to be a public doctor and continue to be in charge of the position of doctor. If there is a war, I will definitely do as you wish and reward you with a hundred taels of gold and twenty bolts of brocade.”
Wang Jian cupped his hands and bowed." Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward. I am ashamed to accept it."”
King Zhuangxiang laughed." It's really God's blessing for me to have such a subject." Then, he glanced at Ji Wuchen. Although he had been talking to Wang Jian, he had been paying attention to Ji Wuchen's every move from time to time.
He was calm and composed, his actions were appropriate, and he was neither anxious nor impatient. At such a young age, he was actually able to do so in front of the ruler of a country. It was indeed not something that ordinary people could do.
"Ji Wuchen!"
"Yes," replied Ji Wuchen.
"I heard from Zheng 'er that you were his teacher in Zhao and saved his life. However, I heard that you were originally from Qin, so why did you go to Handan?”
