Originally, Zhao Ji thought that Tong Guan came to him this time with something novel to offer him.
So as soon as he sat down, he smiled at Tong Guan.
"You found something new this time, please take it out and have a look."
But after hearing this, Tong Guan shook his head indifferently.
"This is not the case for the official family. The minister came here this time to resolve a matter in the official family's mind."
Zhao Ji looked at Tong Guan with a puzzled expression.
"What's on your mind?"
"What can I have on my mind?"
There was a slight smile on Tong Guan's face.
"The minister named Wu Zhi has been very favored by the Queen recently, right?"
"Wei Chen once heard that he found a prescription for the Queen."
"This move made the Queen very happy, but there was a problem when she rewarded Minister Wu."
"The Queen feels that Minister Wu has made great contributions and deserves a reward."
"But the officials here feel that Minister Wu's contribution is nothing and is not worthy of a reward at all."
"I wonder if what Wei Chen said is true?"
When Zhao Ji heard Tong Guan's words, he was also stunned.
Then my heart felt relieved.
As one of the eunuchs and in a high position, Tong Guan must have had close friendships with many eunuchs in the palace.
So it’s not surprising to know these things.
Zhao Ji nodded slightly, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Actually, last time, it didn't matter if I gave Minister Wu another minor official title."
"But you also know the atmosphere in the DPRK. Some officials always take these things very seriously."
"If the person who gets promoted has no obvious merit, they will definitely give him advice one after another."
"When the time comes, it will also make me extremely embarrassed."
Tong Guan pretended to think for a while, and then a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
"It's actually very easy to report it to the officials."
"Since awarding Minister Wu a foreign official will easily attract criticism from those ministers, then we should not reward him as a foreign official."
Zhao Ji frowned slightly and looked at Tong Guan with some confusion.
"I wonder what Aiqing means..."
When Zhao Ji said this, his eyes suddenly widened.
Then, he gently pointed at Tong Guan with his own finger.
And Tong Guan, after seeing this gesture, nodded with a smile on his face.
An indescribable meaning flashed through his eyes.
…
At this time, Wu Zhi had just returned home after checking the accounts, and before he had even taken a bite of his lunch, someone from the palace came.
But this time, the person who came to invite Wu Zhi was his old acquaintance, Xiao Shengzi and Eunuch Sheng.
"Oh Lord Wu, hurry up, come with us to the palace, the officials have something important to do with you."
Wu Zhi slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then looked at Pan Jinlian who was sitting next to him.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, it was already noon, so what would happen if Zhao Ji came to see me?
In the past, when he called him over, he would attend the morning court, but at this time, the morning court should have dispersed long ago.
Then why did he ask me to come over?
Could it be that Zhao Ji finally thought of something to reward me?
Did you let me go there this time specifically so that I could receive the reward?
When Wu Zhi thought of this, he felt a little joy in his heart for no reason.
After all, what ordinary person wouldn’t like getting promoted and getting rich?
Thinking of this, Wu Zhi turned to look at Pan Jinlian with a happy expression.
"Jin Lian, don't eat your lunch yet. After I come back from the palace, I will take you to the best restaurant in the capital."
Pan Jinlian's big, watery eyes blinked twice.
"Da Lang, why is this?"
Wu Zhi smiled mysteriously at her.
"Why bother asking?"
"It must be the prescription I presented to you that day. The Queen liked it very much, so the officials called me over today just to give me a reward."
"Although it is unlikely that I will be rewarded with gold and silver, it is still possible to upgrade my official position by one or two levels."
"At that time, in order to celebrate my promotion, it is normal for us to have a good meal."
Pan Jinlian immediately smiled after hearing this.
At the same time, she was also fantasizing in her mind about how high an official Zhao Ji would give her husband.
It would be best to have a ministerial position, and at the same time give her the title of royal wife.
By then, Pan Jinlian will be able to honor his ancestors.
But as soon as the joy in Pan Jinlian's heart passed, a trace of worry slowly rose from her heart.
Because she also felt that the timing of the officials' search for her husband to enter the palace was indeed a bit hasty.
Just when Pan Jinlian was struggling in her heart, Wu Zhi had already followed Eunuch Sheng to the gate.
Pan Jinlian had a thought in her mind, so she hurried over and put her white and tender hands on her husband's arm, with a complicated expression on her face.
But at this moment, Wu Zhi smiled calmly at her.
Then, those big hands gently squeezed her white and tender little hands twice.
On the road.
"Eunuch Sheng, do you know why the officials asked me to enter the palace this time?"
"Is it just to reward me?"
"You have been following the official family for so many years, can you always analyze something from the official family's words?"
The expression on Eunuch Sheng's face was slightly unnatural.
"Well..."
But just as he was halfway through his words, Wu Zhi took out two heavy pieces of silver from his arms and stuffed them over.
"The Jade House in the east of the city is a good place to go."
“Especially his Jade Roast Duck and the top-quality Longjing, they are full of praise.”
"I beg you, go try it when you have time."
Eunuch Sheng smiled lightly and took the two heavy coins into his arms.
"Yeah?
Is it really that famous?"
"I will definitely try it when I have free time next time."
"As for the officials' intentions in calling you into the palace to discuss matters this time, I can't make any wild guesses."
"I can only reveal what I know to Lord Wu."
"Actually, before I came to see Mr. Wu, Privy Tong had already been chatting with the officials in the study room for more than half an hour."
"When I went in to serve, I vaguely heard words like rewards coming from Privy Tong's mouth."
"According to my judgment, if the officials call you into the palace this time, they should give you an official position."
"But as for what kind of official position it is, our family doesn't know."
"We here at home would also like to wish Mr. Wu great success and prosperity."
When Wu Zhi heard what Eunuch Sheng said, he suddenly felt something strange in his heart.
