"Teacher, do you really want students to give up the dream of the imperial examination in their hearts and join Shen Yan's command to serve their lives?" Li Yunhao's eyes flashed a touch of unwillingness, mixed with a trace of strong helplessness, there are not many people in this world who can make Li Yunhao change his mind, although Yao Mengxian in front of him is Li Yunhao's teacher, but in some aspects he still can't change Li Yunhao's thoughts and ideas, but the elderly parents seem to be an indelible pain hidden in Li Yunhao's heart, as long as it is mentioned for the sake of his elderly parents, Li Yunhao has to lower his very proud head.

"The road is to come out of your own, no matter which road you choose you should have a fearless spirit, the imperial examination can certainly make you famous, but in addition to the imperial examination, you still have a lot of ways to choose, such as the old man recommended to you this road, you must know that many people want to take this road, but unfortunately either there is no way, or there is no opportunity." Seeing Li Yunhao's expression, Yao Mengxian's eyes flashed a trace of unbearability, but when he thought of this more Li Yunhao's future, Yao Mengxian felt that as Li Yunhao's teacher, he should take this opportunity to wake him up, instead of letting him chase that stubborn dream.

Yao Mengxian's heart is not that Li Yunhao is not suitable for taking the road of the imperial examination, but Li Yunhao has already failed three times on the road to the imperial examination, if Li Yunhao has a sufficient family background, or has the support of some people, instead of relying on most of his elderly parents, Yao Mengxian will not want to persuade Li Yunhao to choose to give up the imperial examination and switch to Shen Yan's command to serve his life.

But then again, even if Li Yunhao is under Shen Yan's command, it is not an errand, let alone insult Li Yunhao's reputation and talent, it can even be said that Li Yunhao, who takes refuge in Shen Yan's command, will be like a fish in water, the two complement each other, support each other, and maybe collide with the spark of literary brilliance.

"The old man recommended you so much, not because you are hopeless in the imperial examination, but from the actual situation, it should not be difficult to pass the imperial examination with your current literary style, but what makes the old man feel very depressed and surprised is that you can't pass the imperial examination, for this reason, the old man has also used some personal connections to ask privately, but the result is that the old man is a little dumbfounded." Yao Mengxian didn't want to tell Li Yunhao the truth that he couldn't pass the imperial examination, but let you continue to walk the imperial examination, but looking at Li Yunhao's persistent eyes, thinking of his elderly parents, Yao Mengxian had to bow to reality.

"Teacher, could it be that there is something in this?" Hearing Yao Mengxian's words, Li Yunhao's eyes flashed with a touch of surprise, with his understanding of Yao Mengxian, Yao Mengxian should not hide it from himself, but now Yao Mengxian's attitude is obvious, Yao Mengxian's heart is a little entangled, I don't know whether to talk to myself or not.

"Whether there are other inside stories in this, the old man doesn't know, but the old man knows that when you came to Jinling, you offended a person you shouldn't offend, or that you can't afford to offend, and this person knows that you want to pass the imperial examination, so this person greeted some people, so that you will never pass the imperial examination, or directly cut off your imperial examination road, which is why you can't win the first place with your literary talent." Although Yao Mengxian was a little hesitant in his heart, he wanted to come to the moment, maybe he should tell Li Yunhao about it, and at the same time, through this matter, Li Yunhao can also be more clear in his heart, in addition to the imperial examination, there are other better options to choose.

"Offended a person who shouldn't be offended, and who can't afford to offend?" Hearing Yao Mengxian's words, Li Yunhao's eyes flashed with contemplation and memories, trying to figure out who he had offended when he first came to Jinling.

"Let's recall, after all, it's been almost ten years since this incident, and although you have been very diligent in the past ten years, no matter how good your writing is, you can't bear to be pressed." A helpless smile appeared on the corner of Yao Mengxian's mouth, although this fact is a little unacceptable, but this situation seems to have become a potential rule, someone is easy to do, once he is suppressed by a big man or does not enter the eyes of this big man, it is almost impossible to get a bigger and higher position, even if this person's talent is heavenly, the fact is that the greater the person's talent, the stronger the suppression.

Some people can't bear this oppression and choose to defect, no, it can't be described by the word apostasy, but it means that this person is forced by the helplessness of reality, and finally chooses to give up or compromise. And some people still follow the set of practices in their hearts, and the result may be that things are wrong, or they may be ruined.

Although Yao Mengxian is the president of Jinling Academy, a representative of the pedantic school, and a representative of the clear stream in the Shilin, this does not mean that Yao Mengxian's thinking is so stubborn, does not know how to be flexible, and does not know how to be pragmatic.

In other words, Yao Mengxian really didn't know how to be pragmatic when he was young, but felt that there was a golden house in the book and Yan Ruyu in the book, but as he grew older, with the enrichment of social experience, Yao Mengxian gradually realized that no matter how great a person's knowledge is, if he doesn't know how to be pragmatic, if he is just a pedantic person, maybe the impact on the world is not particularly great, after all, he either writes some books with his strong color or something, although this will have an impact, but the impact is relatively limited, or he will teach and educate people. This impact will be relatively large, but this will also be subject to certain geographical restrictions, and will even be debated and attacked by students in some local clans.

The real far-reaching or destructive power is that this person is an official, and he is also an official on the political side, such an official who governs a county will drag down the development of a county, and the governance of a government will make the level of this government lag behind, not that his talent is not enough, but that he has abandoned the most important cornerstone of pragmatism.

If Yao Mengxian was not pragmatic, perhaps he would not have been able to come together with Shen Yan at all, let alone become a community of interests with Shen Yan, and it would be impossible for Jinling Academy to run so well.

Li Yunhao still doesn't understand the reason why Yao Mengxian is so pragmatic and the impact of pragmatism, he still has some thoughts in his bones that are out of the trajectory of pragmatism, but this thought can't have an important impact on Li Yunhao, otherwise, even if Li Yunhao is a student of Yao Mengxian, it is impossible to talk to Yao Mengxian about joining Shen Yan's service.
