Chapter 775: Recommendation
"Teacher, are you looking for me?" Li Yunhao walked into Yao Mengxian's study with a look of doubt, and saw Yao Mengxian holding a letterhead in his hand, a touch of deep contemplation flashed in his eyes, coughed slightly, reminded him of his arrival, and then, with a respectful look on his face, he said loudly.
"Sit down." Yao Mengxian withdrew his contemplative look and glanced at Li Yunhao indifferently.
"Yun Hao, how many years have you been studying for your teacher?"
"Back to my teacher, the bachelor has been studying under my teacher for more than seven years." Li Yunhao suddenly heard Yao Mengxian's question, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, under normal circumstances, asking this question means to let him leave, but although he has not made amazing achievements over the years, all parties are conscientious and have not made any mistakes, how could Yao Mengxian want to drive himself away?
"It's been seven years, and it's not too long, and it's not too short." Hearing Li Yunhao's answer, Yao Mengxian's eyes flashed with emotion, seven years have passed, and the youthfulness of Li Yunhao's first coming to Jinling Academy to study has gradually disappeared, although there are still some young impulses on his face, but he is walking on the road to maturity, and what he lacks is an opportunity to exercise.
"In the past seven years, although the teacher has taught you some knowledge, but more knowledge for the teacher can no longer teach you, there is a lot of knowledge in life that needs to be slowly accumulated through experience, and you are relatively lacking in this aspect, if you want to make a good article, experience is essential, and then with gorgeous rhetoric." Yao Mengxian paused for a moment when he said this, as if he was organizing language, as if he was waiting for Li Yunhao to digest something by himself.
"If there is no teacher's teaching in the past seven years, the student is still just a child of a poor family, maybe at this time he is selling his coolies and earning some meager living expenses, although he is still so poor, but the student's spiritual world is rich, as the so-called book has its own Yan Ruyu, the book has its own golden house, and so on the student's knowledge is richer, the student will be able to create a source of life in real life." Li Yunhao obviously felt that Yao Mengxian wanted to leave by himself, but Yao Mengxian didn't seem to be able to speak, so he guided himself by knocking on the side.
"It is a very important thing for people to be spiritually rich, and you have this insight to prove that you have gained a lot of growth and harvest in the past seven years." Hearing Li Yunhao's words, Yao Mengxian's eyes flashed with a look of relief, glanced at Li Yunhao, and said loudly.
"You shouldn't be a stranger to Shen Yan."
"Lord Shen is a model for us to follow, although I haven't heard of how rich knowledge he has, but the poems he makes are always so evocative, especially the couplet in Wangjiang Tower has not been paired until now, which is enough to show that Lord Shen's talent is very outstanding." Hearing Yao Mengxian's sudden mention of Shen Yan, a trace of doubt flashed in Li Yunhao's eyes, and he didn't quite understand what Yao Mengxian's words meant, but despite this, Li Yunhao's eyes already had a hint of admiration in his eyes, and he said loudly.
"In addition to these literary aspects that make people feel envious, Lord Shen's military talents and achievements are full of reverence for those of us who can only read, among the younger generation, no one can reach the realm of Lord Shen, defeat the jackal ride, and create the White Lotus Sect, these things make us relish."
"As a teacher, I also admire Shen Yan's talent." Yao Mengxian glanced at Li Yunhao with a look of approval in his eyes, although Li Yunhao was born poor, but he is outstanding in all aspects of his literary style, and he can be regarded as a top ranking among the younger generation in Jinling, and he is also more enthusiastic about his classmates, he is a good person.
Li Yunhao's literary talent is there, but it is not the best way to get a ranking through the imperial examination, after two imperial examinations, Sun Shan has been named, this time although he is still actively preparing for the battle, but Yao Mengxian feels that Li Yunhao is already a little anxious in his heart, three years to rely on, there are several three years in his life.
It is a choice to get a career through the imperial examination, and recommendation is also a choice, Yao Mengxian is thinking of the second way now, and wants to recommend Li Yunhao to Shen Yan, although Shen Yan is younger than Li Yunhao, but Shen Yan has reached a height that Li Yunhao has not been able to reach in several lifetimes, which is enough.
Now the question is whether Li Yunhao can let go of the idea of the imperial examination by himself, if Li Yunhao can let go of this burden in his heart and take the road of recommendation, Li Yunhao may not have a good way out, and will even be taken further by the imperial examination, after all, Shen Yan is now the most popular courtier in front of the emperor, as long as he gets Shen Yan's approval, he will be recognized by the emperor in disguise, think about the few soldiers around Shen Yan, they have all achieved the thousand presidents of the five grades, and after returning to Jinling, Shen Yan will definitely recommend a few of them with greater merit to be the fifth rank, or even the official rank from the fourth grade.
Therefore, recommending Li Yunhao to Shen Yan is the fastest and most successful way for Li Yunhao.
Yao Mengxian was originally worried that Li Yunhao was a little jealous of Shen Yan's rise in his heart, however, after hearing Li Yunhao's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Yao Menghao's mouth, Li Yunhao was not jealous of Shen Yan at all, but regarded Shen Yan as the object of his admiration, once Li Yunhao agreed to his recommendation, then Li Yunhao would go to a new path.
"Yun Hao, the teacher wants to recommend you to Shen Yan and let you work under him, or let him arrange for you to work in the yamen, I don't know what you think?" Yao Mengxian pondered for a moment, glanced at Li Yunhao with a look of willingness in his eyes, and said loudly.
"Teacher, you mean to recommend me to Lord Shen?" Hearing Yao Mengxian's words, Li Yunhao felt a little surprised, but more confused.
"Teacher, the student is still thinking about passing the imperial examination, and now he is recommended to Master Shen, what should the student do about the imperial examination?"
"There is a cooperative relationship between Weishi and Shen Yan, the last time he helped Shen Yan publicize the collusion between the children of the Yang Wang and Cui families in the White Lotus Sect, and in return, Shen Yan will select one of the students who are the teacher to recommend him to serve in the local area, or directly serve under him." Yao Mengxian did not directly answer Li Yunhao's question, with a faint smile on his face, he slowly said about the cooperative relationship between Shen Yan and himself.
Of course, Yao Mengxian didn't tell Li Yunhao the truth, because it also involved some higher-level things and some important secrets, and this could not be disclosed to the public for the time being, so Yao Mengxian selectively said something about his relationship with Shen Yan.
In fact, the first thing Shen Yan did after returning to Wuzhou Mansion was to write a letter to Yao Mengxian, in which Shen Yan hoped that Yao Mengxian could exert his residual heat to see if it could affect the imperial court to temporarily appoint officials to the Wuzhou Governor, and in return, Shen Yan would recommend Yao Mengxian's protégé to this position within three years.
Yao Mengxian was looking forward to it in his heart, but when he thought of Li Yunhao, Yao Mengxian suddenly changed his mind, hoping that this opportunity could be given to Li Yunhao.
