In the dark room, when Yuwenxi came in, he was very surprised to find that Jing Mu was already sitting there.

Yuwenxi saluted, and the orange light made her whole person look very weak: "I've seen the second son." ”

"Don't dare to be." Jing Mu said politely.

"The second son is blaming Wenxi?" Yuwenxi was very keenly aware of Jing Mu's mood fluctuations, and said weakly.

"How dare I blame the girl, who started the game without saying a word. If it weren't for Jing's luck, I think the girl would be on the way to Dingbei Hou Mansion now. Jing Mu sneered.

"But only when the second son doesn't know about it, can this matter be hidden from everyone."

"After all, the girl still doesn't believe me."

"Those who achieve great things are not informal."

"So the girl doesn't care about my life?"

Jing Mu smiled sarcastically: "Also, my life, the life of a poisonous person, what is it in the eyes of Miss Wenxi?" ”

"The second son laughed, in Wenxi's eyes, the second son's life couldn't be more expensive."

"That's because my death will have an unpredictable impact on the Yu family, as for me, ...... person"

Jing Mu paused: "The clay man still has three points of blood, not to mention that I am still a person." ”

"Girl, if there is a next time for today's events, will I continue to sing obediently, or will I tear down the platform that the girl has worked so hard to build?"

"I don't know."

"There won't be a next time." Yu Wenxi immediately assured.

"I'm too eager this time, and I won't have it again."

"There won't be the best." Jing Mu descended the steps.

He didn't come here this time to tear his face with Yuwenxi, and tearing his face would not benefit anyone.

But he also has to let Yuwenxi remember that he is not a soft persimmon and is at the mercy of others.

When Jing Mu's illness was almost cured, he received a summons from the palace.

The same batch of scholars as him basically entered the Hanlin Academy, but he did not enter the Hanlin Academy.

What Min Yan said to him before, before the dust settled, Jing Mu never told anyone.

Even after the dust settles, it can't be said.

After all, what Min Yan promised him before was not a matter suitable for talking about at all.

But because he didn't say it, when he was on the list of Hanlin Academy, there was no name on the list.

The old marquis also made a special inquiry about this.

The person who wrote the list just vaguely said that this was the meaning of the top.

Jing Mu felt that Min Yan summoned him this time, probably because of the problem of his official position.

Jing Mu followed the eunuch who led the way to the Yangxin Palace, and the chief eunuch guarding the door said with a smile after seeing him: "The second prince is here." ”

"Steward." Jing Mu said politely.

"Don't dare to do this, the second son, go in quickly, the emperor and the prime minister are already waiting inside."

"Father-in-law Xie mentions."

Jing Mu went in alone, and saluted with his eyes, nose, nose, and heart: "The grass people have seen the emperor and the prime minister. ”

"No need to be polite." Min Yan said very gently.

Jing Mu glanced up at Min Yan, and for some reason, this goodbye was much thinner than the first time they met.

The face is pale, the limbs are weak, and although the voice is not very loud, it still gives people a feeling of lack of strength.

It looks like the longevity has ended.

Jing Mu secretly guessed in his heart, his face was not obvious, and he looked respectful, waiting for Min Yan's next words.

"I heard you're sick, are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for the emperor's concern, it's much better." Jing Mu said respectfully.

"I also saw you before you went to Southern Xinjiang, when you were still a child, according to the rules of the Hou Mansion, you practiced martial arts with a wooden sword, and you thought you were in good health." Song Tingyu said.

"Do you remember?" Jing Mu looked flattered.

"I still remember that when you first arrived in southern Xinjiang, you were in good health, why did you not feel good later?"

"When I first arrived in southern Xinjiang, I was not accustomed to the food of southern Xinjiang, nor could I stand the rain in southern Xinjiang, so I fell ill."

"Xu is a physical problem, successively treated for a long time, precious medicinal materials used a lot, but did not get better, although later cured, but left the root of the disease."

"The Jade family in Southern Xinjiang is famous for its poison arts, and poison doctors have never been separated, so how can it be so laborious to treat a disease that is not suitable for water and soil?"

"So it's really necessary to discern the truth of this rumor." Song Tingyu took a sip of tea and said to Jing Mu jokingly.

But as we all know, Song Tingyu, the prime minister of cloth, never likes to joke.

It was about once in a while that he fell ill from time to time, which aroused the suspicion of the other party.

"It's probably a problem with the physique of the grass people, but my grandfather is still very good to the grass people."

"Ayu." Min Yan smiled: "It's important to summon him today." ”

Song Tingyu made a gesture, smiled, and stopped talking.

"Do you remember what I said to you earlier?"

After Min Yan said this, he seemed to remember that he had met Jing Mu a few days ago.

So he found a step for himself and Jing Mu.

Said very gently: "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, what do you think of the officials?" ”

"Your Majesty?" Jing Mu looked very frightened.

"Don't be afraid, you just say you like it or not? Do you want to go? ”

"I'm afraid it's not in order."

"You're not in the Hanlin Academy right now, it's already out of line." Song Tingyu said lightly.

Regardless of whether the new recruits who are ranked in the imperial examination are before or after, they all have to go to the Hanlin Academy to exercise and endure hardships.

This is a rule that has been established since the founding of the dynasty.

No one has ever broken that rule.

The list of Hanlin Academy has come out, and all the scholars who have passed from the list to the aftermath, whether they are from a poor family or a family, are among them.

Only Jing Mu is not among them.

And Jing Mu is the champion again, no one guesses, it is impossible.

It is estimated that there are many versions of the speculation about Jing Mu outside.

"The grass people listen to the emperor's orders."

"Then the ministry." Min Yan said with a final word.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jing Mu is very good.

Min Yan looked at the back of Jing Mu leaving: "I'm afraid this kid has suffered a lot outside." ”

"You have the heart to make amends, but to give him a glory that he cannot bear, it may not be a good thing."

"I know, but I'm running out of time, and it's too late to make amends."

"I compensated him, but it was not a selfish motive."

Min Yan sighed: "Because of the collision, Jing Mu went to southern Xinjiang. How can the land of southern Xinjiang be compared to God's capital? He may not have been without resentment over the years. ”

"I compensate him and try to resolve the resentment arising from it, and I am also paving the way for Lan'er."

"Jing Mu is smart, and there is the support of the Dingbei Hou Mansion behind him, as long as nothing goes wrong, such a person will definitely be an important minister of the country in the future."

"I don't want the Min Dynasty to lose such a talent because of old grievances, and I don't want the ghost and god to be an enemy of Lan Ershu."

"That's a really high-sounding statement." Song Tingyu said lightly.

After a pause, I don't know whether to ridicule or praise: "Your illness has a much farther vision." ”

"Not? What do you mean? ”

Song Tingyu got up and smiled at Min Yan: "I'll arrange it for you." ”

Coldly broke the rules, didn't those old stubborns want to make a fuss?

Early in the morning of the next day, Ji Chi came to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and under the guidance of the subordinates, he arrived at the Moon Theater smoothly.

After seeing Jing Mu in an official uniform: "I've seen Jing Si Xunji." ”

The Division of Honors is an official position under the Ministry of Officials of the Six Ministries, mainly in charge of the evaluation of officials.

Although the rank is not high, and you can't even enter the court, if you manage it well, it is a good place to expand your network.

"Lord Ji Chi." Jing Mu said politely.

"I am under the orders of the prime minister to lead the way for the adults." Ji Chi replied.

"I wonder if Lord Si Xun has cleaned up?"

"It's been packed."

Today is Jing Mu's first inauguration, and the theater naturally attaches great importance to it throughout the month.

It's said that first impressions are important, so being late should never happen.

Ji Chi led Jing Mu to the territory of the Ministry of Officials, and took Jing Mu to meet the Ministry of Officials with him.

The official Shangshu looked at Jing Mu, who was personally led over by Ji Chi, and his face smiled very stiffly: "Is Lord Ji Chi mistaken, Xia Guan remembers that the second son of Jing is the champion of this year's palace examination, and now he should take up a position in the Hanlin Academy." ”

"Make no mistake, didn't the Si Xun Division under Lord Shangshu return to his hometown?"

Ji Chi looked at the other party with a bitter face, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, someone heard Lord Shangshu complain about the lack of manpower, and now that someone has arranged it for you, what is Lord Shangshu's dissatisfaction?" ”

"This is not in accordance with the rules, if those old stubborns knew, they would definitely block the water in my place."

"Then you just tell them that if you have any objections or dissatisfactions, just go to the prime minister." Ji Chi looked at him quietly.

After Ji Chi finished speaking, the face of the official Shangshu became even more bitter: "Where do I dare to ....... this!" They...... They didn't dare to make trouble in the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"Lord Shangshu, the prime minister is kind enough to find someone to share it for you, you are so picky, it will hurt the prime minister's kindness."

Ji Chi has already said everything to this point, and Lord Shangshu doesn't know what to do if he doesn't answer it.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your kindness."

Although he was very aggrieved in his heart, the official Shangshu still chose to give in when he thought of the three words Song Tingyu.

Prime Minister's Mansion and Dingbei Hou Mansion, neither of which he can offend.

What's more, Song Tingyu has never interfered in these things, and now he suddenly interferes......

It is self-evident who gave the will.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and Song Tingyu was able to make a move.

There was only the one sitting on the dragon chair.

Okay, let's just come to the ministry to gild a noble son, and offer it.

Since it was decided to offer, the official department Shangshu gave Jing Mu enough face.

not only personally took Jing Mu to his workstation, but also personally explained what he needed to do.

He politely said a few words of encouragement to his juniors, patted Jing Mu's shoulder, and then left with a smile.
