Yizhou Road was originally the territory of the southwest, where major families were entrenched and their forces were intertwined.

Although Zhou Ye was named King Fu and was in charge of the military administration of Yizhou Road, it was not easy to subdue the major families of Yizhou Road for a while.

But it's not too difficult, because he has Mu Jin by his side.

Mu Jin rescued the wife of Peng Zhongchun, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, and helped her recuperate, so that she could give birth to a baby boy smoothly.

The Peng family was very grateful to her, and Zhou Ye naturally opened the gap of the first family in the southwest.

Later, by chance, Mu Jin saved the life of Nannanhou's nephew.

Nan Nan Hou's brother died in his early years to save Nan Nan Hou, and Nan Hou loved his nephew very much, because Mu Jin saved him, and Nan Nan Hou's attitude towards them also changed.

At least the Southwest Hou made it clear that when they were in charge of the military administration of the Southwest, as long as they did not touch the interests of the Southwest Hou Prefecture too much, the Southwest Hou would support him.

It took them a year and a half to gradually stabilize the situation on Yizhou Road and gain a firm foothold on Yizhou Road.

In the past year and a half, Song Yanzhao's military and political reform in the northwest has gradually been implemented, and has achieved remarkable results, which has won a lot of praise from Emperor Jiayou, and ordered that the garrisons in all parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty begin to refer to the model of the northwest and simultaneously implement the military and political reform.

Song Yanzhao never returned to Jinling once, but he would send a letter to Yizhou Road at least every month to chat with Zhou Ye about the military and political situation in the northwest.

Sometimes he would ask about Mu Jin's situation at the end of the letter, and Zhou Ye would always be silent for a moment and briefly tell him something about Mu Jin.

The atmosphere in Jinling City became more and more tense.

Because of the progress of military and political reform in various localities, the generals of the garrisons in many localities have been exposed to corruption one after another.

Emperor Jiayou was furious and sent many supervision envoys to the local area to investigate, and the results of the final investigation were found that many corrupt generals were involved in the East Palace.

And all this culminated with an old couple entering Beijing to sue the emperor.

The old couple had only one son under their knees, who had been wounded on the battlefield in the past and were recuperating at home.

But their only son did not receive a penny, and when the youngest grandson was seriously ill, they were desperate, and the only son went to the army to ask for an explanation, and asked for his pension money back.

The generals not only refused to give him, but also ordered him to be beaten severely, and the son of the old couple was angry and angry, and his injuries were serious, so he went that night.

The old couple was overly sad, and because they had no money to see their grandson, the younger grandson also died of illness in a few days.

The old couple hated the corrupt generals in the army, and gritted their teeth and went to Beijing to sue the emperor.

Emperor Jiayou sent Chen Hui, the commander of the Shen Criminal Division, to be in charge of the investigation, and after checking and checking, he found the crown prince.

The reason why those generals in the army are so arrogant is because they have the support of the East Palace behind them.

Emperor Jiayou was furious and ordered the prince to be imprisoned.

The illness of the emperor's eldest grandson recurred because of this, and it became more and more serious, and Emperor Jiayou felt sorry for his grandson, so he sent people to Xuan Zhou Ye and Mu Jin into Beijing.

Mu Jin entered the palace to treat the eldest grandson of the emperor, but found that the eldest grandson was not because of the weakness brought by the womb, but because the first princess was poisoned, and the eldest grandson was poisoned in the womb.

This news shocked Zhou Ye, and he secretly sent someone to follow this clue to investigate, but finally found out that the prince had a special preference between the beds, especially the love of violence and abuse, and countless maids in the East Palace were abused to death by him every year.

Only then did he probably guess the involvement of the Jiangning County Order Destruction Case with the Prince.

Zhou Ye ordered someone to spread the matter.

For a while, the government and the opposition were shocked, and Emperor Jiayou could no longer hide it for the prince, and he didn't want to hide it anymore, but two days later, he issued an order to abolish the prince.

The crown prince was deposed, and the only adult princes under Emperor Jiayou were him and the seventh prince.

The qualifications of the seven princes are average, and Zhou Ye's performance in the past two years is remarkable, and for a while, there are more and more ministers in the court who tend to make King Fu the crown prince.

Zhou Ye has become a hot prince, and more and more people have taken the opportunity to kiss each other, and many people have expressed their willingness to send their daughters or sisters to serve in King Fu's mansion.

Zhou Ye rejected them one by one.

Almost all the wives of Jinling City are talking, saying that King Fu has a deep affection for the princess and is dedicated to it.

But Zhou Ye knew that Mu Jin had never felt excited because of this.

He saw her really excited on the night he was crowned prince.

Mu Jin drank some wine, his eyes were moist, but there was an obvious smile in his eyes, "Congratulations to Your Highness for finally achieving your wish!"

Zhou Ye looked at her deeply, raised his head and drained the wine in the cup, "Thank you princess for planning for me." ”

If this had been two years ago, he would not have dared to think about the current situation.

And most of the victories that have come to hand now are because of the help of the woman in front of him and Song Yanzhao who is far away in the northwest.

Song Yanzhao now holds 100,000 troops in the northwest, if he hadn't clearly expressed his support for himself, I was afraid that the position of the crown prince would not fall to him so soon.

Mu Jin's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, he held the wine glass in his hand, and looked at him with his cheeks raised, "It's good, it's one step closer to my goal." ”

She seemed to be very happy tonight, and drank a little too much, "Zhou Ye, when I find the secret technique to free my body, I will leave Jinling and live freely from now on." ”

Zhou Ye's hand holding the cup suddenly tightened, "You want to leave Jinling?"

Mu Jin nodded with a smile, "Actually, you don't know, what I yearn for most is that kind of free and carefree life." ”

Zhou Ye felt bitter and astringent in his heart, for the sake of her, he restrained his heart and treated her well, who in Jinling City didn't know that King Fu had done it to the point of exclusive favor to the princess.

For her sake, he rejected all the women that others sent to the door, and for her sake, he even forgot what those concubines looked like in the backyard.

But what about her, does she have a place in her heart?

No, this thought made Zhou Ye's heart ache!

She only thought about freeing herself from the shackles on her body, and then the rivers and lakes were free, and she didn't think about him at all.

A wave of anger gradually spread in his heart, Zhou Ye unconsciously dropped the wine glass in his hand and grabbed Mu Jin.

"Jin'er, didn't you ever think about me?

Mu Jin raised his misty eyes, blinked, and looked at him with some confusion, "Aren't you going to be the emperor?" ”

It's this deal again, is it in her heart, is this marriage just a deal from beginning to end?

Zhou Ye was furious, suddenly lost his mind, pulled Mu Jin under her, and covered the whole person.

"Don't make that deal with me again, don't make any more conditions with me!" he roared angrily, staring at the flower-like face below him, "Don't you feel my kindness to you?"

"I want you to be my real wife, not a fake wife for a deal!"

As he spoke, his eyes gradually firmed, and he murmured with wine, "Tonight, I'm going to make you my real wife!"
