Wu Chaoping's face lit up: "Just say it, not just one request, even a hundred or a thousand are fine!"
"If we were to get married, you can't stay in Ye City for at least five years. I presume you'll get a government post soon, and I hope you can be assigned to a remote place."
If one wants to climb higher, surely getting closer to the throne is better than taking a local post.
Especially when Wu Chaoping has a connection like Jiang Shu.
After a couple of years in Ye City, when His Majesty is pleased, he might get a promotion.
But if he goes to the remote areas, it's a different story.
If he performs well, it's fine. If he doesn't, His Majesty may gradually forget this favor, and his career could blend in with the rest of the officials.
So this seemingly simple request was actually related to the course of Wu Chaoping's future official career.
