"Although what Master Shen said is very reasonable, it also makes me feel extremely guilty in my heart, but if I don't prove my hard work all these years through the imperial examination, wouldn't my time all these years be in vain, and it will also make people ridicule me for taking the back door and taking shortcuts." A trace of unwillingness and helplessness appeared in Li Yunhao's eyes, and a faint bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I know the purpose of Lord Shen's visit today, and I am very grateful to Lord Shen and the teacher for their trust and appreciation of me, but I am really unwilling to give up the imperial examination like this."

"In the face of Brother Li's situation, everyone will be unwilling, after all, after pursuing for so many years, it is only a month before Chunqiu, but suddenly I have to make another choice, if I am Brother Li, I will also be unwilling." Shen Yan seemed to be able to feel the emotions in Li Yunhao's heart, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a faint helplessness, sighed slightly, and said slowly.

"However, none of our choices will be smooth sailing, we need to gain something, and we will lose something, and the key is the weight in it. Compared with the imperial examination and filial piety, I would choose filial piety. Shen Yan paused for a moment when he said this, a touch of sincerity flashed in his eyes, he glanced at Li Yunhao lightly, and then said slowly.

"I think Brother Li must have a certain understanding of my background, even if I think about filial piety in my heart, but with such an environment and object, I can't get filial piety to him, so I can only put this filial piety in my heart, silently bless my mother who has gone away, and hope that she can vote for a good family in the next life." When Shen Yan said this, he grinned astringently, as if he was full of bitterness, and seemed to be a little helpless.

"When the emperor put the opportunity in front of me, I did not hesitate to make this choice, not because I was greedy for power, nor did I want to take shortcuts, but I clearly knew that only if I succeeded, I could change the environment around me, in order to realize the dreams and pursuits in my heart, as for if I realized my dreams and pursuits, as long as I did not do evil, did not violate my conscience and morality, why should I stick to the imperial examination or recommendation, or the official position rewarded by the emperor."

"Therefore, the choice is often more important than the result, and it is more difficult, too many people stand at the crossroads of choice and fall into confusion or entanglement, not knowing whether to continue to insist or make a more reasonable choice, I also fell into such a predicament at the beginning, but I finally chose this shortcut." A faint bitterness appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he shook his head slightly, as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

"Willing, willing, first giving and then getting, there will be gain, I have already made the corresponding choice before, this time it is just Brother Li's turn."

"I don't have the open-mindedness and courage of Lord Shen, and when faced with such a crossroads of choices, I think my choice will still follow the voice and cry of my heart." Li Yunhao knew in his heart that Shen Yan spent so much tongue with the intention of trying to persuade himself to give up the imperial examination and choose to be recommended to serve in Huaibei County.

Looking at Shen Yan's indifferent look, Li Yunhao's mood was a little fluctuating, to be honest, Shen Yan's words did make waves in Li Yunhao's heart, and the idea of feeling guilty about his parents also sprouted in his heart, but he gave up his persistence over the years so easily, Li Yunhao really couldn't let go of it in his heart.

"I can fully understand Brother Li's choice and persistence, but I still want to ask more, what is the purpose of Brother Li's insistence, is it to prove that he is not a loser abandoned by the imperial examination, or something else?" Hearing Li Yunhao's answer, Shen Yan didn't feel any surprise, if Li Yunhao was such an easily persuaded person, then Yao Mengxian would easily handle it, and he wouldn't let himself be this lobbyist, so after Shen Yan listened to Li Yunhao's answer, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing an indifferent smile, and then a hearty smile appeared on his face, glanced at Li Yunhao slightly, and threw out the core question.

"Loser?" Hearing Shen Yan's question, Li Yunhao's eyes flashed with sadness, and he seemed to be reluctant to accept Shen Yan's statement, but Li Yunhao knew very well in his heart that Shen Yan's problem was directed to the depths of his heart, and he could not avoid it, he had to face his heart, if he couldn't give an answer that satisfied him, it was estimated that he would form an unbreakable knot in his life.

"If Brother Li doesn't want to prove that he is not a loser in the imperial examination, then why do you have to insist on the dream of the imperial examination, thus giving up filial piety." An indifferent smile appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, as if Li Yunhao's reaction was completely expected, he glanced at Li Yunhao lightly, and continued.

Regardless of the unfair treatment and white eyes suffered by his parents, he only thought about waiting for himself to be lifted and then repaid his parents, but he didn't know that what his parents needed was now, even if he didn't get lifted, as long as he gave his parents a warm look and a cordial greeting, he could make his parents feel family. When the middle is lifted, can the parents turn the tables after all these years, and can they make the parents feel relieved and happy in their hearts? I guess the answer is self-evident. ”

"To put it very politely, pinning hope on the future itself is a coward's performance, and it is not a kind of sustenance in the heart of the loser, can the future really be expected, I don't know what others think, at least I think the future is really not expected, rather than looking forward to the future, it is better to seize the day, even if the day and night can not fight, at least prove that they have worked hard, have struggled, and there will be no regrets in their hearts when they are old, and they are no longer a loser."

"The future is unpredictable, seize the day." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a hint of doubt flashed in Li Yunhao's eyes, and his face was full of entanglement and hesitation, as if he wanted to make a certain decision in his heart, but this decision could not be made easily, and Li Yunhao was in a dilemma for a while.

"Brother Li, I don't have the slightest intention of persecution and persuasion, I just put the situation that Brother Li is facing in front of me, so that Brother Li can have a more intuitive understanding, so as to help Brother Li make a choice that is most in line with his current situation." Seeing Li Yunhao's expression, an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he said calmly.

Seeing the current situation, Shen Yan already understood in his heart that the purpose of his coming this time had almost been achieved, and all that remained was for Li Yunhao to change his mind, and there was no need for Shen Yan to lobby for any big truths or anything else.
