After receiving his new appointment, Sun Siwen was, of course, overjoyed.
Within a month, he had risen from a regular seventh-ranked official to a sixth-ranked one, skipping two levels in total - even more importantly, he had been promoted from a low-level official to a mid-level one.
One could say that this was a qualitative leap.
Not many county magistrates could be promoted one more level after decades stuck at their current position.
But now, at the age of thirty-two, he had achieved this. How could he not be delighted?
Even Lu Yuan was happy about his own promotion, which saw him rise three levels to become an Imperial Commander.
This was not because he was obsessed with power or status; it was mainly because by reaching the position of Imperial Commander, he would now become the Chief of the military in one of the Fu cities.
