He Liwei:

"Your Majesty...you can't lie to Your Majesty, can you?"

"I can tell you, I will return to Beijing sooner or later," Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "Guess, by then, who can shake my position? Zhu Yunqi, or Zhu Yunxi who has just been taken back to Beijing?"

He Li was surprised and said:

"Do you know about His Royal Highness Zhu Yunxi?"

"Naturally, I have been paying attention to the affairs of the court," Zhu Xiongying said with a look of understanding, "Now, I will give you two choices."

talking.

Zhu Xiongying's two fingers formed a sword, pointing at He Li's chest.

With this finger, the sword energy is vertical and horizontal.

Make the surrounding grass and leaves everywhere.

He Li, who was pointed at by Zhu Xiongying, couldn't move at all.

"Or, you can help me keep this matter a secret until I return to Beijing... When I go back, I will naturally reuse you in the future. From now on, you will be my confidant, not my grandfather's."

"Or, you continue to be my grandfather's loyal minister, and then die under my sword energy."

Zhu Xiongying said word by word.

He Li was stunned.

He opened his mouth and asked:

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"I am loyal to His Majesty, which means I am loyal to you..."

Zhu Xiongying shook his head and said:

"Grandpa is grandpa, I am me."

"Grandpa can't harm me, and of course I can't harm him."

"but……"

"His subordinates belong to him. And I must have my own confidants... So, do you understand?"

"In the future, many things I will do may not have my grandfather's consent, let alone let him know... But everything I do is for Daming."

"You don't understand the reason why old ministers don't join the new dynasty?"

He Li nodded.

He heard it.

Zhu Xiongying has his own ideas and ambitions, and he must be the next generation of Ming Dynasty.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this matter, I am afraid that Lao Zhu would fully support his grandson to build his own power.

Even if Zhu Xiongying wiped out all the able-bodied officers under his command, Lao Zhu would not complain.

On the contrary, the old man will praise with great relief that his grandson finally has a city mansion and knows that he has plans for the future.

and so.

He Li actually didn't need to worry about it at all.

He has always been clear that whether it is loyalty to the emperor or Zhu Xiongying, it is actually the same thing.

So, He Li immediately cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, He Li, is willing to join His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, to go through fire and water for him, and never regret it in this life!"

Hearing He Li's reply.

Zhu Xiongying nodded in satisfaction.

"From today onwards, just listen to me."

"First, after I go back, I'm not allowed to tell anyone that I'm still alive... As for why I don't go back, I have my own calculations. You just need to know and keep your mouth shut."

"Secondly, I also want to know the news that Jin Yiwei sent to my grandfather. You can find all the news and send it to me. If you can't find it, don't force it."

"Third, always pay attention to the movements of the Lu family, Zhu Yunzheng, and Zhu Yunxie. I want to know what they eat, use, and meet people every day... By the way, you can find a reliable confidant in the army to contact me. , don’t tell him my identity, just let him connect with Mr. Zhong.”

After hearing Zhu Xiongying's instructions, He Li cupped his hands and said:

"The minister obeys the order."

"Your Highness, if you have a will in the future, you can directly ask that confidant to pass it back to me."

"From now on, my life, He Li, belongs to your Highness!"

He Li's words were a complete expression of loyalty.

His voice just fell.

In Zhu Xiongying's mind, the voice of the system came to mind...

【Ding!It is detected that the host has formally subdued a subject, and the system loyalty query module is activated! 】

Chapter 187 Loyalty System, Open

[System Loyalty Inquiry Module, open. 】

[This system module can provide the host with the loyalty query of each subordinate. 】

[After it is turned on, anyone who expresses loyalty to the host will be counted into the system, and the host can check his loyalty to himself at any time. 】

[Loyalty value reference: 0~59, disloyal, rebellious;]

[60-69, the heart is vacillating, and it is easy to be rebellious;]

[70-79, more loyal and less likely to be rebelled. 】

[80-89, very loyal and will not be instigated. 】

[90-100, absolutely loyal, willing to risk his life to protect the Lord. 】

[Currently He Li's loyalty is: 90. 】

90 points of loyalty, such a value is almost within Zhu Xiongying's expectations.

After all, He Li had just switched from Zhu Yuanzhang's side to his own, so he must be more or less entangled in his heart.

but.

This loyalty query is a very useful system function.

As long as the other party shows his loyalty to himself, he can find out whether he is really loyal to himself.

In this way, it is much easier to distinguish between loyal and traitorous.

After Zhu Xiongying confirmed the function of the new module, he temporarily shut down the system.

Then, he said to He Li:

"Those three of your subordinates are not good at character."

"Not only framed people, but also extorted money, just like soldiers. I don't like it very much."

"After you go back, beat them hard. Also, if you are looking for a confidant who is in touch with me, you can't find such a person..."

When He Li thought of those three guys, he became angry, and quickly promised:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, these three people, I will definitely teach them a lesson when I go back..."

Now that Zhu Xiongying has personally said that he doesn't like these three people very much.

Then He Li can let them go back?

Naturally, they were punished to death, and came to vent this anger on His Highness.

Zhu Xiongying nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, remember what I said."

"you can go now."

Zhu Xiongying had already spoken, but He Li cupped his hands without any hesitation and said:

"The minister will go back and wait for His Highness to order."

After speaking, he stepped back and left.

……

When Zhu Xiongying returned to the wine shop.

The three Zhao brothers have been taken away by the county magistrate Hou and the government servants.

Mr. Lan Shui disappeared too.

Seeing him, Zhang Xin explained:

"The county lord promised to release Mr. Lan after returning home. Mr. Lan Shui was very happy to hear that, and has already gone home to report."

"By the way, she also said that she would bring his brother to the door to thank you."

Zhu Xiongying nodded after hearing this. It is normal for Mr. Lanshui to worry about his brother.

He looked around and found that Mr. Zhong and Huo Qingshan were gone.

"Where are Mr. Huo Shan and Mr. Zhong? They left with Magistrate Hou?"

Zhang Xin replied:

"Major Huo Shan left with Magistrate Hou..."

"But Mr. Zhong is not."

"He saw that you and the Jin Yiwei had left, and he left soon after. I don't know what to do."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Xiongying's mouth twitched.

"This old clock...couldn't be..."

……

Outside Daxin Town.

He Li looked at Elder Zhong standing in front of him, and smiled awkwardly.

Then, he cupped his hands and said:

"Mr. Zhong, don't come here unharmed."

Elder Zhong folded his arms and said with a smile:

"Unexpectedly, after you go back, Zhu Yuanzhang can save your life."

"It seems that I underestimated the emperor."

He Li said:

"Your Majesty has a broad heart and gave me a chance."

"But if you, Mr. Zhong, hadn't rescued me that day, I'm afraid I would have been executed by His Majesty long ago... In the end, Mr. Zhong, you are my savior, and I am extremely grateful to you."

"I don't need to say more polite words. I saved you just because I can't bear Zhu Yuanzhang's reckless behavior." Zhong Lao stretched out a hand and interrupted him, "I ask you, after you go back this time, are you going to take His Highness Do you want to tell the emperor the news here?"

He Li smiled and said:

"Didn't you hear the conversation between me and His Highness just now, Mr. Zhong?"

Elder Zhong rubbed his nose and said:

"If it was an ordinary person, I would eavesdrop if I eavesdrop."

"But Zhu Xiongying... I don't dare to eavesdrop on him."

"Tell yourself, what did he tell you... Just say what you can say, and just say what you can't say."

He Li knew that Mr. Zhong was Zhu Xiongying's confidant guard, and that he would still need to go through Mr. Zhong to communicate with His Highness in the future, so he replied truthfully:

"Your Highness asked me not to tell Long Live Lord the news that he is still alive... and I will not say it either."

"I have been included under His Highness's command, and from now on I will still be a Jinyiwei on the surface, but in fact, I am one of His Highness's people just like you, Mr. Zhong."
