There are two main reasons why Li Xuandu added a deputy at Taiping Inn.

The first reason is that the scale of inns has been expanding repeatedly, and it is inevitable that they are stretched.

The second reason is that many people in the inn hold multiple positions. Li Feiyan is the deputy sect leader of the Qingwei Sect, Shangguan Guan is the sect leader of the Yin-Yang Sect, Ning Yi is the great guest of Taiping Sect, Shi Wuyue is the Nishang envoy of the Xuannv Sect, Li Xuandu and Qin Su are also the sect leader. Even Lu Yanbing and Mrs. Lu who joined later were not white, and it is impossible to put all their energy into the inn.

Now ten people have been selected for the twelve people in Taiping Inn. The owner: Li Xuandu, Qin Su; shopkeeper: Ning Yi; accountant: Lu Shiying, Li Rushi; pawn hall: Li Feiyan, Shi Wuyue; cook: Yao Xianglian; servant: Shangguan Wan, Lu Yanbing. The shopkeeper and cook's deputy are still vacant.

Li Xuan both considered these two candidates.

The shopkeeper's deputy had a heavy responsibility. Li Xuandu originally wanted Shangguan Wan and asked about Shangguan Wan's meaning, but Shangguan Wan was not willing to be inferior to others. She felt that it was better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Instead of being the deputy of the shopkeeper, it would be better to receive one by one, even if this one was not as powerful as the shopkeeper's weight, so Li Xuandu asked her to be the head of a servant.

Since Shangguan Wan does not serve as this deputy, he needs a person who is not inferior to Shangguan Wan. Li Xuan has thought about it and said that there are many such people, but they are more ally relationships than confidants, such as Zhang Luanshan, Yan Feiqing, Palace Official, and Mrs. Leng. Some people are not good at this kind of thing, such as Lan Xuanshuang, who has passed away for too long and some are not ordinary. Rebuilding the Zaoge Sect has occupied most of the energy. If you want to have multiple positions like Shangguan Wan, you may not be able to do it.

In fact, Li Xuandu still has a personal choice, his old friend Hu Liang, but Hu Liang has already stated that he does not want to involve too much of this kind of thing. Li Xuandu and Qin Su can be inseparable from each other, and most of the time, friends cannot do this. He still wants to be pure friends with Li Xuandu, so Li Xuandu naturally won't force him.

As for the disciples of King Qi, Li Xuan did not intend to separate them, but instead unified them in his own name.

After thinking about it, Li Xuan had a bold candidate. This person was not Li Xuandu's confidant, or even a member of the Qingping Society. However, he was quite talented, and that was Murong Hua, who had worked with Taiping Inn.

Murong Hua's identity on the surface was one of the four great masters of the imperial capital back then, and his actual identity was a defected disciple of the Wangqing Sect, a disciple of the Cihang Sect, and the master behind the Wutong Tower.

Cihang Sect has never been a sect with a strong sense of morality. Some people have used all means to achieve their goals. Over the years, they have also criticized and criticized the world. Some people even compared Cihang Sect with the Pin Nu Sect, saying that the Pin Nu Sect is a red prostitute and the Cihang Sect is a pure prostitute. Although this statement is not good, it also has some truth.

Murong Hua is a typical disciple of the Cihang Sect. If you regard Bai Xiuchang as the yin and yang sides, then Su Yunying inherited her yang side, which is utilitarian and grand, while Murong Hua inherited her yin side, is good at relying on others and is versatile.

Murong Hua was originally a disciple of the Wangqing Sect. After Han Wugui died, Song Zheng forced Qin Qing to the palace. The five sects in the northwest were eyeing each other. The people of the Wangqing Sect were panicked and in chaos. Murong Hua took the opportunity to steal the copy of the "Taishang Wangqing Sutra" of the great method of the Wangqing Sect, escaped from the sect, and was chased by the people of the Wangqing Sect. Bai Xiushang happened to pass by and rescued her.

Murong Hua also worshipped Bai Xiushang as his teacher, but Bai Xiushang did not accept Murong Hua as his disciple in the name of Cihang Sect, but only accepted her as his disciple in the name of personal name. He did not bring Murong Hua back to Cihang Sect, but instead placed her in the imperial capital. Therefore, few people in Cihang Sect know Murong Hua's identity.

However, Bai Xiushang did not care about this disciple, nor did he favor one or the other. Not only did he spread her "Cihang Pudu Sword Classic", but he also helped her cultivate the "Taishang Wangqing Sutra" of the Wangqing Sect. Therefore, Murong Hua had a very high cultivation level and was a real master of the Infinite Realm of Heaven and Humanity.

After Taiping Inn entered Beijing, she had many interactions with Murong Hua. Shangguan Wan had some friendship with her. The two of them were of similar temperaments and were called sisters in private.

After Li Xuan had this idea, he sent Shangguan Wan to meet Murong Hua and explore her words. If she had this intention, she would invite her here and have an interview with Li Xuandu.

After Li Xuandu explained many details about the account and Mrs. Lu, Ning Yi walked in and whispered: "Zi Mansion, Master Shangguan is back and wants to see you."

Mrs. Lu heard Xian and knew the intention of her, and stood up: "The Zi Mansion gave me such a burden. It's really a lot of trouble. I'm going to see Yunhe, so I won't leave much."

Li Xuandu also stood up, without too much politeness to keep him, looking at Ning Yi: "Gei minister, please give me Senior Sister Lu."

Ning Yi nodded and responded.

Mrs. Lu knew that the situation in the imperial capital was turbulent, and Li Xuan was afraid that she would encounter an accident on her way out of the city. In addition, she had already known Ning Yi, a great guest, so she did not refuse and smiled and said, "Mr. Ning."

After Ning Yi and Mrs. Lu left, Li Xuan said to Lu Yanbing: "Bingyan, please invite the Lord Shangguan and the guests in."

Lu Yanbing left in response.

Not long after, three women walked into Li Xuandu's study together. In addition to Lu Yanbing and Shangguan Wan, there was also a woman wearing a cloak and a one-piece hood.

The woman took off the hood on her head and showed her true face. It was Murong Hua.

Murong Hua gave a blessing gift: "I have met Mr. Qingping."

"Murong, everyone, I have been hiding for a long time." Li Xuandu bowed and returned the greeting, then reached out to signal the three of them to sit down.

Only after Li Xuandu sat down after the desk, the three women sat down.

Li Xuandu said: "Since Murong everyone is willing to come to see me, then he must have agreed to my proposal."

"I dare not be called everyone." Murong Hua said humbly first, "Sister Shangguan has already explained in detail to me. Thanks to Mr. Qingping's praise, I am flattered and dare not ignorant of the praise."

Li Xuan smiled: "From the perspective of Master Bai, I will call Senior Sister. Senior Sister Murong is so serious that she can't say "respectful". Instead, she asks Senior Sister Murong to help me. If Senior Sister Murong doesn't want to, I won't force it. So I still have to ask Senior Sister Murong in person, whether she is willing to become the deputy of the local department of Taiping Inn?"

Murong Hua did not hesitate and said softly: "I am sure I dare not ask for it."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Senior Sister Murong has lived in the imperial capital for a long time and is very familiar with the situation in the imperial capital. It is rare for Senior Sister Murong to come here. Why do you tell us about the relationship between the Confucian Sect and the Tian Family Royal Family? How about it?"

Murong Hua did not refuse: "I have heard a lot about it. If there is anything wrong, please correct me."

Shangguan Wan smiled and said, "Sister, don't be humble."

Murong Hua cleared his voice and said, "The Confucian Sect has penetrated deeply into the royal family. Over the past years, the Confucian Sect did not come forward directly, but instead restricted the royal family through open civil servants and many secret means. Taizu and Taizong were not bad during the dynasty, but the nobles who depended on the royal family were of great power and could be equally divided with civil servants. Starting from Renzong and Xuanzong, civil servants gradually suppressed military officials. In the three dynasties of Xianzong, Xiaozong and Wuzong, the civil servants reached their peak.

Except for Xianzong, the deaths of Emperor Xiaozong and Wuzong were inseparable from the Confucian sect. For example, the Imperial Hospital at that time treated two generations of emperors to death in succession, but he was able to escape unsuccessfully. The Minister of Personnel was disagreeing with him, but instead, the Minister of Personnel, who was known as the Heavenly Official, lost his official position. Who has such power and means besides the Confucian sect? I even suspect that this person was one of the Confucian hermits in his early years, and the Seven Hermits are his juniors."

"Of course, I have no definite evidence. Maybe it is not advisable to be said to be conspiracy only. But if there is no conspiracy in the palace and no tricks in the officialdom, wouldn't it be a huge joke?" Murong Hua paused, "Emperor Shizong was a foreign vassal to inherit the throne. He was not born in the deep palace and was raised by women. He was the brother of the Earth Master, and his talent was not inferior to the Earth Master. But even Emperor Shizong had to be controlled by the Confucian school."

"Shizong's army was also his planner. He made great contributions to the ascension of Shizong's throne and power. Shizong promoted him from the head of the palace to the chief minister of the court and the Minister of Rites, but he died of sudden illness in just four months."

"Shizong ascended the throne at the age of fourteen and had no son for more than ten years. He had to seek help from the Taoist people and took the Taoist elixirs. He had just had his first son at the age of twenty-six. If Shizong had not sought help from the Taoist sect, wouldn't he have followed the throne after Emperor Wuzong had no son? But even so, the eldest son and the second son died one after another. Shizong had eight sons and five daughters, and when Shizong died in his age as a son and one daughter, he was left, that is, Emperor Muzong and the current eldest princess Xuanzhen, all the other eleven people died. Even in ordinary people's homes, there would not be so many children."

"Shizong was assassinated by the palace transformer and almost died. When Shizong was dying, everyone exhorted to fear the crime and did not take action. They wanted to sit down and watch Shizong die. Fortunately, a Taoist true man surnamed Xu risked his life to save him, so he could turn the danger into safety. Just a few months later, the Taoist true man died suddenly, but the cause of death was frightened."

"As for the matter of fire and falling into the water in the palace, there are countless."

"All this is true, once is a coincidence, twice is a coincidence, or is it a coincidence?"

Murong Hua said: "It can be seen from this that the Confucian sect has a deep control over the court. However, the emperors also fought back, from the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office to the eunuchs in the inner court, and then to the Dao Sect as foreign aid. Especially the two generations of Emperor Wuzong and Shizong, they had a victory or defeat with the Confucian sect and suppressed the Confucian sect to a certain extent. Therefore, the various Dao Sects were able to participate in the government affairs, which led to the secret edict of the Empress Dowager in the second year of Tianbao. "

Speaking of this, Murong Hua looked at Li Xuandu: "Now that the power of the Confucian sect is not as great as before, and he can no longer hide behind the scenes and has to end up in person. The empress dowager is leaning against the Great Sword Immortal, so they agree to join forces with Mr. Qingping. They want to treat Mr. Qingping as a gun envoy and let Mr. Qingping deal with the Great Sword Immortal. It is best if Mr. Qingping and the Great Sword Immortal are both defeated and are unable to interfere in the court. The little emperor is the shadow puppet in their hands again."

Silence fell into the study.
