Hearing this, Jiang Shen nodded with satisfaction, patted Mu Rongxun's shoulders twice, and said gently: "After the Spring Festival, I will hand over a note and propose that you join the cabinet for experience."
Mu Rongjun was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I would like to thank you, Mr. Ge, for your support."
Jiang Shen smiled and turned to look in the direction of the dormitory.
Mu Rongxun also looked over.
He knew very well that doing this was risky and very risky. If he did it well, he would be successful and if he did it badly, he would be ruined.
However, people always have to work hard.
He has stayed in the Ministry of Rites for nearly ten years, and has sat in his current position as minister for six years. He is already forty. If he cannot seize this opportunity, he will have no hope of joining the cabinet again in this life.
Jiang Ge Lao's disciples are all over the place, and his influence in the court is deep-rooted and intricate. Whoever he wants to support will have a much smoother career. I don't know how many scholars want to join his disciples.
Mu Rongxun made up his mind in an instant. Since he had joined Jiang Shen's disciples, if he wanted to be supported by him, he couldn't just go around in vain. He had to be worthy of being promoted.
Thinking of this, he felt much calmer, and faced the dim lights downstairs, he was also calm and calm.
The horn building on the west side is not much different from the horn building on the east side. The lights are brightly lit and there is a loud rustling sound.
The soldiers stood in the alleyway at five paces and ten paces, staring at the soldiers in the dormitory without even blinking.
If you have poor concentration and are stared at by this cold gaze for a long time, you will inevitably become frightened, and then your performance will be abnormal and you will not be able to answer smoothly.
Han Changmu and Yao Yao looked around at the dormitory on the west side with such dark eyes, and suddenly felt respect for the scholars in the dormitory who answered calmly.
Yao Yao said with sincere admiration: "These people have really good concentration. If they were to be lowered to official positions, they would be so scared that their legs would be shaking."
Han Changmu glanced at the trembling legs behind the fence and chuckled: "Their legs are trembling too."
Yao Yao lowered his eyes and smiled: "But you can't see it on his face."
Han Changmu nodded and said calmly: "The curtain on the door works."
Yao Yao looked around and saw that almost every dormitory had a small cloth curtain hanging on the door. Most of them were plain, but in different colors.
The size of this curtain is also regulated. It is only waist long. It is hung on the door of the dormitory and just falls on the fence.
The soldiers sitting behind the fence were not covered by the curtain at all, and their every move fell into the eyes of the soldiers on the opposite side.
But the eyes of the scholars were blocked by the curtains. If they had not deliberately searched, they would not have noticed that they were being watched as if they were on guard against thieves. This could somewhat alleviate the discomfort that was like a thorn in the back.
The self-deception of this curtain is greater than its actual usefulness.
When we reached the end of the alley, a strong smell hit us. This smell was very overpowering and pervasive.
At the end of the alley is the toilet. Although the weather is not hot at this time of year, all the scholars who cannot support the hundreds of dormitories have to use this dormitory. When the little is added up, the smell is shockingly strong.
Yao Yao uttered an ouch, and she took a few steps back, turned around and covered her mouth and nose. Her movements were smooth and smooth, and her voice buzzed: "Oh, I'll go, this is so refreshing."
Han Changmu sneered: "The people in the dormitory next to me think so too."
Yao Yao pursed his lips and smiled, looking around.

The two dormitories next to the latrines are called "Shit Hao". The scholars assigned to these two dormitories can persist in taking the exam for three days without being smoked and give up halfway. They are all determined people. Even if they fail If you get on the list, you will make great achievements in the future.
The people in these two houses are obviously people with strong determination and will not give in easily.
Both of them stuffed their nostrils with cotton swabs, and their eyes were so smoked that they burst into tears. They rubbed their eyes from time to time, but they were still writing furiously, seemingly unaffected by the incense smell.
Yao Yao covered his mouth and nose and sighed sincerely again: "I can't be affected by this, it's amazing."
Han Changmu rubbed the back of his hand and said calmly: "If you can't bear this crime, then there is no need to take any provincial exams."
Yao Yao raised his eyebrows: "That's right. If you become an official in the court in the future, you will suffer more than you do now."
The two of them finished inspecting the west dormitory and walked slowly towards Mingyuan Building.
Standing on the third floor of Mingyuan Building, looking at the brilliant lights below, it carries the dreams of countless people.
Yao Yao closed the window and lit a few more lamps.
The exam papers will be handed out tonight. If something unexpected happens, many people will take advantage of the silence of the night and the soldiers who are extremely sleepy and relaxed to do something.
Xiao Xiao's disciples couldn't sleep at night, so the guards like Han Changmu naturally couldn't sleep well either.
There is a lotus placed in the corner, and the thin lotus is floating in the water.
The lotus flower is made of extremely thin porcelain, shaped like an incense stick. The incense stick on it has been half burnt, and a wisp of light smoke has faded away.
Han Changmu took a sip of tea, looked at Yao Yao's back, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Take a rest, I will be busy later."
Yao Yao turned around and asked doubtfully: "What are you busy with?"
Han Changmu smiled enigmatically and said nothing.
Yao Yao curled his lips and lay on the window sill. The lanterns hanging high on Mingyuan Tower fluctuated with the night wind, and the yellow light fell on the thin window paper, twinkling like stars.
It was the beginning of the Yin Dynasty, and in the dead silence of the night, there were a few insects chirping, sometimes distant and sometimes near.
There was no human speech in the room, only the sound of shallow breathing.
Han Changmu held the tea cup and turned around to see that Yao Yao had fallen asleep lying on the window sill.
He looked over playfully, wondering if she was distracted or thoughtful. She could actually sleep under such circumstances.
The girl in her sleep has a peaceful face and gentle eyebrows, much less sharp than in the daytime, and her vivid intelligence and cunning are hidden deep in the soft sleep.
The long eyelashes were drooped, and a mottled mist shadow cast on her face. The girl seemed unprepared and was sleeping deeply, and the mist shadow was motionless.
Han Changmu leaned over and looked at it for a long time, then suddenly chuckled.
The smile rippled from his lips to the corners of his eyes, reaching the bottom of his eyes.
He lowered his head and saw his eyebrows reflected in the slightly rippling tea, smiling.
While he was lost in thought, a rush of footsteps came from the stairs.
Han Changmu quickly sat up straight, holding a cup and looking at the door seriously.
Yao Yao also woke up at the same time. His face was still a little hazy. He lay on the window sill and refused to get up. He muttered something vaguely: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
The door was pushed open, and Meng Suige hurriedly walked in, saluted and said: "Sir, we caught a few cheating scholars."
Han Changmu seemed to have expected such a thing to happen, and stood up calmly: "Go and have a look."
Yao

Yao also became energetic and his eyes were bright. He straightened his bun and followed him.
I wonder if the cheating methods in ancient times are different from those in previous lives. Are they more effective and more subtle?
The group of people went downstairs. This time, Han Changmu and the others did not put on the red armor of soldiers, but the official uniforms of the Internal Security Department, and hurried to the east side of the dormitory where the cheating soldier was found.
At this time, the dormitory on the east side was already brightly lit and noisy.
The alleyway was filled with soldiers, and several people were kneeling under the shadow of the lamp. Their hands were tied behind their backs, their mouths were blocked with rags, and their cries of injustice were firmly stuck in their throats. They were so frightened that they forgot to even struggle.
The scholars were all startled and looked out curiously through the fence. Although the fence was not locked, no one dared to leave the dormitory easily.
After all, the provincial examination is a major event related to their life future, so how can it be compared with a little excitement.
However, the dormitories are closely connected to each other. When the scholars poked their heads out, they could see the people on the left and right sides. They could not leave the dormitory without permission to watch the fun, but they could not cover up the excitement of everyone's discussion. That mouth.
"Hey, hey, what happened up front? What happened?"
"It seems that the cheater was caught."
"Cheating, no way, you are so courageous, this is a serious crime that will lead to consecutive sittings."
"It's a big sin, but it's also a big opportunity."
"Hmph, only those who are not truly talented would think about cheating."
"You can't say that. The entrance search is so strict and someone can be brought in, which shows that he still has real skills."
"Hey, hey, it sounds like there's more than one person cheating."
The discussion gradually became louder. Seeing that no soldiers came out to stop it, the scholars became even more careless and dared to say anything.
Han Changmu and his group walked from the darkness into the light. These tiny words happened to fall into his ears. He raised his lips and sneered before walking into the alleyway.
All the lights on both sides of the alleyway lit up, cascading over Han Changmu's body like water waves.
He did not hide the cold air around him, his face was gloomy, and he raised his eyes and looked around.
"It's an inner guard, it's an inner guard."
"Hush, hush, stop talking. It's the inner guards. These kings of hell kill without blinking an eye."
"Inner guards, why are there inner guards in the Gongyuan?"
The scholars exclaimed for a while. After the initial shock, fear followed and swept through their hearts. The continuous discussions in the residence suddenly stopped.
It was as if a pair of hands were holding his neck, making it difficult to even breathe, let alone speak.
Even if you have not seen the methods of the Department of Internal Security, you have heard of the vicious reputation of the Department of Internal Security. At this time, no one will use their wealth, life, and bright future to go head-on.
After all, it is others who cheat, and it is others who destroy their own futures. They can just watch the excitement.
The scholars all retracted their bodies with tacit understanding, lowered their heads, and watched the pair of black leather boots walking into the light and shadow, emitting a dark cold light.
Han Changmu nodded with satisfaction when he saw the silent crowd.
Yao Yao followed Han Changmu. She was also wearing the official uniform of the Internal Security Department and tied up her hair in a man bun. It was late at night and no one could see her face clearly.
She raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the Department of Internal Security was very intimidating. Although this outfit was a bit ugly, it could intimidate people.
