At that time, Cui Kun was an assistant minister of does and an examiner. Wu Wuling, a doctor from imperial academy, rode a lame donkey to visit Cui Kun slowly and said, "You selected talents for a wise king with lofty virtue and great reputation. How dare I not give you any help like a drop of dust? "

I met a dozen scribes by chance before, so I was very excited and read a volume of articles together. I read the scroll, which is "Epang Palace Fu" by Jinshi Du Mu. This man has a gift for helping the king. "

So he took out the scroll of Epang Gong Fu, put the water in his belt and read it aloud. Cui Yan is full of praise. Wu Wuling said, "Please call him the number one scholar." Cui Wei said: "The first place has been occupied."

Wu Wuling said, "If you can't win the top prize, please let him win the fifth Jinshi. If it doesn't work, just give me this assignment back! " The tone and face are fierce and severe.

Cui Yan said: "Many students say that Du Mu is an indulgent and broad-minded person, but I respectfully follow your advice and dare not change." Later, Du Mu took the exam and got a good result.

Shen Chuanshi (Jiangxi observer) wrote a letter recommending him to be an inspector in Jiangxi. Later, Du Mu served as secretary of the Huainan Festival Office of Niu Sengru (Huainan Festival).

Later, he was appointed as an imperial envoy by the court, and gradually rose to the left. He also served as the secretariat of Huangzhou, Chizhou and Zhou Mu, drafted imperial edicts for the emperor as an examination-oriented doctor, and was later transferred to the secretariat of Zhongshu.
