Li Yongfang knew that the young governor in front of him was brought by the emperor from the capital, and he had another identity at this time: General Pingdong.

I must be with the emperor.

Thinking of this, he felt a little more comfortable.

But the emperor saved him... What the hell is it? Not everyone can guard Fushun, but anyone can take people to make maps and take a boat from Lushunkou to Penglai, Shandong.

"Do you think it's strange? Or are you very dissatisfied with me why I say that the emperor is saving you?"

Wang Xianggan looked at Li Yongfang with a black line and asked with a calm tone.

"Preserving Fushun is not a good job." Wang Xianggandao, "You think, how many Jurchens are in the east of Fushunguan, and how many troops are in Liaodong responsible for guarding? Now you also know Your Majesty's policy, there will definitely be someone protesting, and Fushun will become the primary target of attack. It would be fine if you hold it by then, but what if you can't?"

Originally, Li Yongfang was in a very bad mood and couldn't listen at all.

But when he heard this, he suddenly thought of the question the emperor asked him again.

So my heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and I heard Wang Xianggan continue to say.

"Do you know why the emperor asked you that difficult question? If you are facing the pressure of the enemy army and know that you can't defend it, what should you make a decision? In fact, you just expect that one day, Fushun will become the target of attack, and how did you answer at that time?"

Speaking of this issue, Li Yongfang found that his heart suddenly calmed down.

"You said you didn't know how to make a decision, right? Although the emperor did not criticize you at the time, your answer, at least it proves that you are very conflicted. Don't judge your answer first, but if Fushun is attacked, whether you swear to persevere to the death or surrender to the city, it will hurt you. Do you agree?"

Li Yongfang nodded, and suddenly felt that the governor in front of him was amiable, and he communicated with him heartily like his own father.

"So it is not a good job to guard Fushun. Follow Emperor Duoxiang. No matter what you ask you to do, as long as you are willing to work hard and work hard, are you still afraid that there will be no chance of promotion? Don't be sad."

"Thank you, Governor, for your guidance, letting your humble position suddenly open up." Li Yongfang said with gratitude.

"It would be different to let General Li's son go to the garrison. General Li designated to send additional personnel, and took a step back and said that even if he lost the situation, the Li family could protect him and let him make meritorious service. Can you do it?"

"No." Li Yongfang shook his head quickly. Of course, he could not compare with Li Chengliang's son.

"Looking back, think carefully, is the emperor saving you? This is to keep you away from right and wrong!" Wang Xiang said with emotion.

"So that's the case. It was Bei Zhi who blamed Your Majesty for mistakes!" Li Yongfang also opened his heart. After all, he felt that the person sitting opposite him was his close friend. "Bei Zhi just thought that he would not be reused by the emperor, but he didn't expect what the governor said."

"You will understand in the future. Besides, the emperor has not used you more. He has assigned you two tasks, right?"

"Um."

"If you look at it from a different perspective, you will find out how important these two tasks are, but don't think they are two ordinary tasks."

"Please make it clear to the Governor."

"First, the emperor asked you to lead someone to make detailed maps in the area of ​​Lushunkou, right? Have you ever thought about the purpose of the emperor doing this?"

"..." Li Yongfang shook his head. Anyway, his heart had calmed down and he was no longer upset.

"Because the geographical location of Lushunkou is extremely important, the emperor intends to set up a military port there. This is a national event. Do you think it is important?"

"Of course it's important."

"So the emperor needs a detailed map, which is related to the security of the Liaodong Peninsula, the Bohai Sea, the Shandong Peninsula, and even the capital. Wouldn't you be honored to have such an important task handed over to you?"

"Honorable..." Li Yongfang nodded repeatedly, thinking that the emperor was for tourism.

"There is another second task. Will the emperor ask you to take a boat from Lushunkou, cross the Bohai Strait, and go to Penglai, Shandong? Experiment on various scenes along the way?"

"yes."

"The emperor wants to establish a naval camp in this area, and there is more than one, because if foreign powers come, they will first choose to land from which area. Therefore, this dynasty must strengthen its defense, which is more related to the fate of the country. Can you say that this task is not important?"

"So that's it, the emperor is so far-sighted!" Li Yongfang sighed with conscience.

"Do you think the emperor is for fun? After following the emperor for a long time, you will understand that every decision of the emperor is very meaningful."

"Thank you, Governor, for your advice!"

"We are all working for the emperor, not saying these polite words. You just need to remember that the emperor uses your strengths to make you shine. To put it bluntly, let you guard Fushun. What if you surrender because of your kindness, fear that the people will suffer? Then aren't you going to become a great sinner for the eternal period?"

"..." Li Yongfang was speechless.

"Because you are very confused, it proves that you really don't know how to make a decision. If I guess correctly, you are still confused about the Emperor's question. Come on, ask yourself if you are? Don't lie."

"Yes." Li Yongfang nodded and then asked humbly, "Then may I ask the governor, I wonder what the emperor wants to do in a low position?"

"General Li didn't teach you?"

"No, I will scold Bei Yi."

"Whether to persevere or surrender, you need to ask the people in the city rather than the soldiers, because defending the city is the responsibility of the soldiers, but the people have no such obligations. However, the fine morality of my Chinese children is that if they are violated by foreign tribes, they would rather die than surrender and live and die with the city."

Li Yongfang nodded thoughtfully.

"You abandon the city and surrender because of your kindness, perhaps just to protect the people and prevent them from dying for nothing, but have you ever asked the people what they think? If the people are willing to work with you regardless of life and death, but you abandon the city and surrender, isn't that disappointing the enthusiasm of the people in the city? Not to mention whether you are loyal to the country. So what do you want to ask you in the core of the emperor's question? Have you figured it out now?"

"I seem to finally understand." Li Yongfang nodded as if he suddenly realized.

"The emperor has always advocated the people-oriented concept, which is to let us ministers understand that no matter what we do, we must first consider from the perspective of the people. We can do whatever we want. Of course, you should not simply think that we are just satisfied. In short, although people-oriented, the four words are broad, but they have broad connotations and require us to experience and do it with our heart."

"This conversation with the governor is really a revelation of the humble position. Please give me a bow to the humble position!" Li Yongfang stood up, then bowed and kowtowed to Wang Xiangqian.

"General Li is polite, please get up quickly! I have a few more words to explain to you."

Wang Xiang stood up when he was busy and reached out to support Li Yongfang. He felt that Li Yongfang's ideological work had been done by him. He moved him to understand his feelings and reasoning was indeed effective. Or the emperor was smart, could this be called brainwashing success?
