Within the imperial palace, the imperial palace of the Qian Qing Palace was where the Righteous Emperor was currently reading the imperial reports. Next to him stood Cao Zhengshun and below him Zhu Chi, who ignored him. "Royal Uncle, I heard that within the imperial city, there is a world's number one manor that specifically recruited all sorts of top talents. Is that true?"

"Reporting to your majesty, that is indeed the case." Zhu Zhao ignored some doubts and said, "Your majesty, this matter happened a long time ago. This king had already reported it to the emperor, and the establishment of the number one village in the world was approved by the emperor. Is there something wrong with it?"

"Of course not." Emperor Zhengde did not even raise his head. "I've only heard that the number one villa in the world was formed by the Dragon Guardian Villa, and the owner was even the number one spy of the Dragon Guardian Villa. But behind the scenes, the person who truly contributed the most is the richest person in the country, which number three thousand, isn't it?" The Righteous Emperor raised his head.

Zhu Bian was immediately shocked. It was true that the number one manor in the world was controlled by a hundred thousand people, but this matter had always been hidden in the shadows. Even the people within the number one manor had no idea how the emperor of virtue knew about it.

Other than Zhu Zhengshun, Cao Zhengshu was also extremely shocked. Everyone knew that the person behind the number one house in the world was the Dragon's Protection Manor, but other than Zhu Zhengshun, there was actually another one hundred and thirty thousand. This was completely out of his expectations. If the number one village in the world was built jointly by the Dragon Guardian Villa and the number one village in the world, then wouldn't that mean that Zhu Tianliang had long been involved with Wan Sanjiu? This was not good ah!

[No one in the world doesn't know who the trillions of people are. No one doesn't know!] He was the richest man in the country, and rumours said that he was ten times richer than the treasury. If Wan San had already started fooling around with Zhu Qu, then wouldn't he be fighting against the two great powers, the Dragon Guardian Villa and the richest man in the country, with his own strength?

"Indeed." Although he was surprised in his heart that the Emperor would not know about this matter, since the other party had asked, then he must have found sufficient evidence. If he was to lie, then it would make people suspicious, so it would be better to speak the truth.

"Thirteen thousand, ten thousand." The Righteous Emperor muttered a few words to himself, then he looked at Zhu QIngshan and said, "Since the number one manor in the world was built by uncle Huang and Wan Sanjiu, then there must be a connection between the two of you!" Without waiting for Zhu Jian to open his mouth, he continued, "Zhen wants to meet Wan San."

Seeing the expression of the Righteous Emperor, Zhu Bian felt slightly apprehensive. He suddenly felt that he could not understand his nephew. However, he could feel that the other party's thoughts were very firm and almost unshakable. Upon returning to the emperor, ten thousand people are the richest men in the country, and there are large amounts of businesses all over the country. The tracks are erratic, and there is almost no place for me to search for him. "

The Righteous Emperor smiled. "I believe my uncle will find a way to contact him." Afterwards, he opened his mouth and said, "My royal uncle has been managing the Dragon Mountain Villa all these years, toiling for the Great Clarity Mountain and sharing a lot of worries. This is a huge contribution. It just so happens that a few days ago, I accidentally dug out a few treasures that royal father bestowed to me a few years ago, among them, I think one of them is the most suitable to be gifted to a Divine Marquis.

With that, he waved his hand slightly. Eunuch Sun, who was standing not too far away, walked over and handed a palm-sized wooden box to Zhu Bugui.

"Your majesty, what is this?" Zhu Jue did not think it was good to open it, so he looked at the Righteous Emperor and asked.

The Righteous Emperor didn't say anything. Instead, he smiled and said, "Your Imperial Uncle will know when he opens it. I guarantee that your Imperial Uncle will definitely like this gift."

"Oh!" "Is that so?" Zhu Bie slightly trembled in his heart. The Zhen Qi inside his body started to operate stealthily. Only then did he gently open the wooden box, and saw what was inside.

"Pa!" The next moment, the wooden box was closed again. He then turned to the Righteous Emperor and asked, "Heavenly Fragrance Nutmeg, where did you get the Heavenly Fragrance Nutmeg?"

"How dare you." At the side, Cao Zhengshun's expression changed as well, and he said sternly, "Your highness, you have to pay attention to your own identity. As a subject, what tone are you using to speak to the emperor? Do you know that's a crime? "

Zhu Zhengchun's face changed, and he suddenly remembered that the eunuch was still here. "Isn't this the same as letting him get a hold of something?" "Your majesty redeemed himself, and this subject was also momentarily anxious. This Celestial Fragrance Nutmeg is related to the life and death of a friend of this humble subject. This humble subject was anxious and offended you. I beg Your Majesty to atone for your sins."

The Righteous Emperor waved his hand and said, "It's alright. I naturally know that you didn't mean it. But looking at my uncle's appearance, it seems that he is very happy about the gift that I have bestowed upon him. "In that case, I am relieved."

"Happy, happy." This gift is something that this humble subject is very happy about. " Zhu Bian looked at the box with joy, then asked again, "Your majesty, this humble subject remembers that there are a total of three Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg, other than one that was taken by someone else, there are two others. Does Your majesty have any other such items?"

"Of course." The Righteous Emperor nodded his head and said, "The last Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg is indeed in my hands, but I can't give you that Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg right now, so there's no need to worry. Within a year, the last Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg will definitely be given to uncle Huang."

"Yes." Seeing the Righteous Emperor like this, Zhu Bian knew he wouldn't make it now. If he asked for it, Cao Zhengshun would find an excuse. He might as well find a chance to ask the Righteous Emperor for it later. Your Majesty, there are many matters regarding the Dragon's Villa as well. This humble subject still needs to deal with them as soon as possible. If there are no other matters, then this humble subject will take my leave first. " Chu ignored the excuse and was about to leave.

"Hm!" Since royal uncle still has things to do, then let's go! "However, I will have to trouble Uncle Huang to pass on the matter of me meeting with Wan 3000. Tell him that I have something that I need to speak to him about and that he must come and see me." The Righteous Emperor naturally saw through Zhu Bian's thoughts. He waved his hand, signaling Zhu Bandits to retreat.

Seeing that Zhu Li had ignored him and left, Cao Zheng Chun couldn't help but ask, "Your majesty, look at that official's tone just now. Is he clearly questioning you? "As a subject, even if he's the emperor's uncle, he should know about the inferiority complex. Your majesty, you can't continue to act as you please like this."

Emperor Zhengde raised his head and stared at Cao Zhengshun with a fiery gaze, causing fear to well up in his heart. However, the emperor wasn't angry. Instead, he said lightly, "Royal uncle is indeed a bit presumptuous, but he has worked hard for the imperial government for so many years. This small mistake isn't worth me punishing him for. "Just like how you, Eunuch Cao, wielded two of the east factory's Embroidered Uniform Guard and still hoped to obtain the military talismans of the ten generals."

"Shua!" Cao Zheng Chun's face paled and he fell to the ground, "Your Majesty has never done such a thing! Never!" It was already a great blessing for a servant to be in charge of the east factory and the Imperial Secret Service. How could he have any presumptuous thoughts? "Moreover, this servant is from the inner court, so he must not be related to the civil and military officials. This is a heinous crime, even the servants would not dare to do so!"

The Righteous Emperor remained calm as he said lightly, "Stand up! I do not intend to pursue this matter, if Liu Jin did not overdo it that year, I would not have tried to kill him. I know that you have always been loyal to me, and that I deliberately set myself against the Divine Marquis by using the East Gardens and the Embroidered Uniform Guard to balance out the Dragon Villa. If you had any ill intentions, you would have died a long time ago, even if you trained your child cultivation technique to its highest level, the Diamond Protection. "

Cao Zheng Chun's face turned pale with fright as he realized that he had only practiced the [Vajra Body] for two years, and it had never been shown to anyone else. The Righteous Emperor actually knew of his martial arts skills, and even knew that he wanted to obtain the military talismans of the ten generals. How was this possible? Could it be that he actually had the righteous Emperor's spies by his side, or did the Dragon Guardian Villa arrange a spy for him?

Countless thoughts flashed through Cao Zhengshun's mind, but his caution towards the emperor had reached an unprecedented level. His every move seemed to be under the watch of the emperor, and even his own martial arts could not be hidden from him.

Cao Zheng Chun looked at the righteousness, but could not help but shiver inside. Had he been pretending all along?

The emperor had been controlled by Liu Jin since he was young. If he didn't have a plan, he wouldn't have been able to sit on the Dragon Throne, and he would have been killed by Liu Jin secretly. However, Liu Jin was killed by him in the end. Looking at it this way, his master was the one who hid the deepest!
