Shangguan Wan came to the imperial capital, but that happened a long time ago. At that time, she was still young and not Emperor Tianbao, but Emperor Muzong.

To be fair, Emperor Muzong is still very capable. The key is to know people and be good at placing them and know to let the right people do the right things. If Emperor Muzong had not died early, then the current situation might be very different. Not to mention changing one's destiny against the will of heaven, at least it would not be a problem to extend one's life for decades, and the empire would not decline so quickly.

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed by, and the imperial capital changed its appearance.

Shangguan Wan needs an external identity, which must have an obvious intersection with Li Rushi, and must have sufficient status to make friends with powerful people, or even enter the mansion of some people without being abrupt. Before Shangguan Wan came, the inn had already made preparations for this.

Because of Xu Wugui's special status, the Qi Palace has always had an extremely special status. People in the world think that the Qi Palace was dead, but the royal family knew that the Qi Palace was not dead. Xu Wugui pretended to die back then, but in fact, it was a compromise between him and Emperor Shizong, and each made a step back. In this case, even if Xu Wugui had no descendants, the court did not ban the Qi Palace, and many Qi Palace branches still relied on the Qi Palace. Although no one in these Qi Palace branches could inherit the throne, they also broke away from the control of the sect's mansion to a certain extent and became the most special branch among the many royal families.

The inn arranged for Shangguan Wan is a branch of the King of Qi, named "Xu Wan".

In fact, this name was not made up out of thin air, but was named by Xu Wugui for Shangguan Wan back then, and reported it to the Zongren Mansion and registered it on the jade certificate of the Zongren Mansion.

It is just because the King of Qi was "dead", Xu Wan could not be recorded in the name of the King of Qi, but could only be recorded in the name of a branch of the King of Qi, which was considered the niece of the King of Qi. In terms of generation, Xu Wan was the same as Emperor Muzong and Princess Xuanzhen, and was the aunt of Emperor Tianbao. However, in terms of title, Xu Wan was just a county lord, while Yuying was the princess. The emperor's daughter was named the princess, the prince's daughter was named the princess, and the prince's daughter was named the county lord. Xu Wan was named the princess under the name of the King of Qi, and a county lord was named the county lord. Because the King of Qi was in Qizhou, he chose a place from the counties in Qizhou as the title, which was the "Qixia County Lord". If he was a princess, he would choose a place from the various prefectures of Qizhou as the title. On the contrary, the princess did not use the title of a state like the prince, but used the two words with beautiful meanings as the title.

Because of this, the disciples of King Qi respectfully called Shangguan Guan Guan "Miss". From this perspective, Xu Wugui regarded Shangguan Guan Guan as his adopted daughter.

Over the years, Shangguan Guan has hardly used the name "Xu Wan", but has traveled around the world under his real name Shangguan Guan Guan. Therefore, few people know the key point of this, even the clan mansion does not know that Shangguan Guan Guan, the famous Jiuming official, is the same person as Xu Wan, the lord of Qixia County.

For Shangguan Wan, this arrangement is not rejected. After all, she is Xu Wan, and Xu Wan is Shangguan Wan, just like Li Xuan is named "Zifu Guest" and Qin Su is named "White Silk". The above Guan Wan's understanding of this identity, coupled with Xu Da's arrangements on the Qi Prince's Mansion, must be seamless.

Just because of the identity of the lord of Qixia County, it is high, but it has no intersection with Li Rushi's "He Yun" identity, so the inn arranged a second identity for Xu Wan, and she is also one of the owners of Taiping Money Village. The big boss of Taiping Money Village is naturally the Taiping Sect. In addition to Taiping Sect, there are many small bosses, mostly powerful people from all over the country. With the protection of these local snakes, Taiping Money Village can only spread the money business all over the world. With the identity of Li Xuandu, it is easy to arrange for Shangguan Guanguan as the small boss of Taiping Money Village, and this matter is handled by Mrs. Lu. Even if it is within Taiping Sect, it is difficult to find any flaws, let alone outsiders.

As for the royal family's business, although it is not in line with the etiquette system, it is reasonable.

Since the King of Qi "departed", although the court did not depose the Qi Palace, it also stopped a certain amount of rice. According to regulations, a prince would provide 50,000 stones of rice, 25,000 taels of silver, forty pieces of brocade, 300 silk, 500 silk, 1,000 silk, 1,000 silk, 1,000 silk, 1,000 silk, 1,000 silk, 1,000 winter cloth, and 1,000 summer cloth. Without this entry, the Qi Palace itself did not have much impact, but many of the Qi Kings' side branches had cut off their livelihoods and could only find a way out.

Later, the Qingyang Sect Rebellion and the court lost control of Qizhou, the lives of these former nobles became increasingly difficult, and it was reasonable to do some business. In fact, it was decent to invest in Taiping Money House. After all, the major money houses in the imperial capital also had backgrounds of various powerful families, and many ruined royal families sold their ancestral land, invested money into the fleet of Qingweizong, and did some business in Liaodong and Fenglinzhou, which was no different from that of merchants.

As a result, Shangguan Wan's identity was established. Xu Wan, the lord of Qixia County, who was born in the side branch of the Qi Prince's Mansion, was also one of the small owners of Taiping Money House. He came to the imperial capital because there was something wrong with the Taiping Money House's business.

In addition to doing money shop business, Taiping Money Bank has also been involved in many other businesses. However, Taiping Money Bank does not operate directly, but handed over to a special shopkeeper and then reconciled on time.

The most profitable deals in the world are tea, salt and iron, all in the hands of the court. Tea and salt are issued by the court, and they are all giant merchants with great backgrounds, also known as imperial merchants. Most of the salt business is concentrated in the Jiangnan and Huaihe areas, while tea and iron are mostly concentrated in Yuguan and Jinzhou areas, especially tea, which are mainly sold to the Golden Sect. Whether it is the nobles of the Golden Sect or ordinary herdsmen, they mainly feed on meat and milk, rather than rice and flour, especially tea is needed to eliminate greasy. In addition, the hostile situation between the Central Plains and the grassland, this pound of tea bricks is in the cheapest place in Guanli. It is only twenty or thirty cents. When you arrive at the grassland, you can exchange two sheep, three or four pieces for a horse, and the price is a hundred times different. The more you go north, the higher the price of this tea, which can be described as huge profits.

Taiping Money House also got involved, but did not come forward directly, but joined the business of an imperial merchant in the form of a shareholding. Logically speaking, the imperial merchant is not short of money, but the imperial merchant needs to take care of all aspects, from powerful people, officials, eunuchs, and small officials, they all have to make money. In addition, the big tree attracts wind and is beaten by others. No matter how rich the family's wealth is, in such a situation, there is a real gold mountain, and it will be hollowed out. Moreover, tea business transactions are profitable and have great risks. Sometimes it is inevitable that people and wealth will be lost. Therefore, even the imperial merchants have times when they are not in a good turnover, and they must deal with money banks. So Taiping Money House took this opportunity to join in.

Taiping Money House holds 30% of the shares in the business of the Royal Merchants, and it is not too much or too little. The apparent reason for Shangguan Wan's visit was that there was a problem with the accounts of the Royal Merchants. What's even more strange is that a shopkeeper sent by Taiping Inn died of illness, which is very strange and suspicious. So she came to Dijing as the owner of the Taiping Money House to check the accounts. Li Rushi was involved as a businessman with a great relationship with Taiping Money House, and even came to visit him on his own initiative, which became reasonable.

The royal merchant had already received news about Shangguan Wan's arrival, so he was naturally very nervous. The money from Taiping Money House was difficult to get, because Taiping Money House was involved in Taiping Sect, and Taiping Sect was involved in Mr. Qingping. Mr. Qingping was involved in the Qin family in Liaodong. In the current situation of Liaodong, everyone had to consider the way out and dared not do anything. What's more, Shangguan Wan's identity was also an unusual county lord, a county lord from the King of Qi lineage, and was not a cat or dog who could die of illness at will.

Shangguan Wan lived in Tangquan Villa for a day, and the external saying was naturally to wash away the dust. In fact, he had a secret spy with Li Rushi and roughly learned about the current situation in the imperial capital from Li Rushi.

Today's imperial capital is complex and complex, and it is simple and simple. It is roughly divided into three factions: civil servants, eunuchs, and royal family. Among them, civil servants are headed by the newly appointed chief minister of the cabinet, Zhao Lianggeng and the second assistant of the cabinet, Mei Shenglin, the eunuchs are headed by the chief of the Silijian, Yang Lu, the chief of the Silijian, Bingbi Liu Yi, and the royal family are headed by the King of Jin and Yan.

These three forces fought but failed, which was like the three kingdoms. The eunuchs were dependent on the imperial power, which is the current empress dowager Xie Zhi. At the same time, the empress dowager was the most noble person in the royal family. Because of this, the eunuchs and the royal family actually formed an alliance, especially when there were foreign enemies. However, there were differences between the two sides, that is, Emperor Tianbao. No matter what, Xie Zhi was a person with a foreign surname and was not surnamed Xu. In order to prevent the recurrence of the empress's throne from taking the throne of his son, the royal family advocated the emperor to rule, which involved the civil servants.

The Confucian school stands behind the civil servants. The Confucian school pays attention to heaven, earth, king and relatives, and teachers. The king is the king and father of the subjects in the world. The king is the subject of the minister, father is the son, and husband is the wife. The Confucian school naturally does not allow the empress dowager to be regent. There are chaos and the empress dowager Xie Zhi repeatedly asks the empress dowager Xie Zhi to return the power to Emperor Tianbao. It is related to power, so Xie Zhi naturally refuses. However, when the Taoist sect supports Liaodong, Xie Zhi cannot do without the support of the Confucian school. The Confucian school also does not want to force Xie Zhi too much to prevent Xie Zhi from simply turning to the Taoist sect.

As a result, the situation between the three families often changed. Sometimes the empress dowager joined forces with the royal family to compete with the civil servants, sometimes the civil servants and the royal family forced the empress dowager to return power to Emperor Tianbao. Sometimes the empress dowager joined forces with the civil servants to suppress the royal family. However, when facing Liaodong, the three families could quickly stand together and oppose Liaodong. However, this kind of opposition was not firm. Imagine one day, Liaodong really entered the pass, and there were very few people willing to die for the country, and most of them chose to save their lives, either escape or surrender.
