Taiping Inn

After Lu Yanbing returned to Qizhou, the first thing he did was to purchase the sacrificial fields. For her, this was an important matter, and there should be no gap between them. But she didn't have to come forward in person. As the head of Tiangang Hall, she is also a fifth gentleman who has been a long time. She has her own confidant to do it for her. She just takes her famous post to visit her one by one. If Li Xuan had not insisted on buying and selling fairly, not owe favors or losing money, Lu Yanbing would have felt that there would be no need to spend any money, and those companies would have offered it on their own initiative.

In addition, Lu Yanbing personally "escorted" Li Yuanying, Gu Yusheng, Lou Xinqing and others back to the Three Immortal Island of the East China Sea. Penglai Island and Fang Abbot Island have a special status, so the three of them were temporarily placed in the Tiangang Hall on Yingzhou Island. This was actually Lu Yanbing intentionally. Li Xuan lost his power back then and lived in seclusion on Yingzhou Island. Now Lu Yanbing has also placed Li Yuanying here, and his intentions are quite bad.

But this is Lu Yanbing's style. She is not a gentleman, but a fence-bearer who sways in the wind. When Li Yuanying was in power, she valued Li Taiyi and looked down on Lu Yanbing. Gu Yusheng did not take Lu Yanbing seriously. Lu Yanbing did not take Lu Yanbing seriously. But it is remembered in my heart.

Now, Lu Yanbing is increasingly grateful to the goodness of the fourth senior brother. What are half-brothers and sisters? That's it. Although I am not merciless when I teach myself a lesson, I will never forget myself even if I have good things. I am not like the third senior brother, who is hypocritical. When it is useful, I am the brother and sister, and when it is useless, I will not recognize this junior sister.

Then Lu Yanbing met Zhang Haishi, Li Feiyan, Situ Xuanluo, Li Daoshi and other senior figures in the Qingwei Sect and informed Li Xuandu of his itinerary.

If nothing unexpected happens, the new sect leader Li Xuan will return to Qingweizong on the 28th day of the 11th lunar month, stay on Sanxian Island for a day, and return to Beihai Prefecture's Li family on the 29th day of the 11th lunar month, and will not return to Qing Dynasty until the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Weizong, as for how long he will stay in Qingweizong, it depends on the situation. He will not leave Qingweizong before the Qinglong Festival on the second day of the second month, and it may take several months at the latest. During this period, Li Xuandu would also decide whether to visit Donghua Sect, Sheji Academy, Saint Mansion, Qizhou Governor's Mansion, etc. based on the situation.

The Qingwei Sect was not surprised by this itinerary. After several people discussed it, they informed him and ordered the entire sect to prepare to welcome the new sect leader, mainly Qingling Palace and Bajing Villa, to be completely renewed and not stained with dust. Shows the immortal style.

Of course this is not Li Xuandu's original intention. He grew up on Sanxian Island since he was a child. What does Qingling Palace and Bajing Villa look like? He is more familiar with it than most Qingwei Sect disciples. It is new or old. I probably know why I have to do these official articles. This is actually Lu Yanbing's "thinking the best", but everyone in Qingwei Sect also recognized and agreed. It can be seen that it is not just a Lu Yanbing's problem, but the atmosphere is like this. This is also the Qing Dynasty pointed out when Li Xuan advised Li Daoxu. One of the disadvantages of the micro-brain.

However, this disadvantage is just a disease of scabies. What really makes Li Xuan feel a headache is the struggles of many factions within the Qingwei Sect.

The internal factions of the Qing Weizong were very complex. The Li family was naturally the most powerful, followed by the Situ family, which had many generations of outstanding talents, then the Lu family, and finally other surnames. However, the Li family is not a solid piece, and it is divided into legitimate descendants, adopted sons-in-law, etc. For example, Li Feiyan is regarded as a legitimate descendants, and Li Xuandu,

Li Yuanying is both a school of adopted sons, while Li Daoxu and Li Daoshi are a school of sons-in-law. These three factions are even more inconsistent. Some are husband and wife, some are parents and children. You have me and I have you. There are always various kinships between each other. It is difficult to truly distinguish which faction a person belongs to. .

In addition, the other families also have great connections with the Li family. Take the Situ family as an example. The two generations of heads were Situ Wentai and Situ Xuance. At this time, the Situ family had always been closely attached to Li Daoxu. Around, and after Situ Xuance's death, as Li Daoxu began to cultivate his heirs, the Situ family also had a certain degree of division. Some follow the new head of the family Situ Xuanluo, but still dependent on Li Daoxu, while the other chooses to follow Zhang Haishi. After all, Situ Xuance had a very good relationship with Zhang Haishi during his lifetime, and Zhang Haishi even came to the hall to worship his mother, as if he was a family.

In addition, Situ Xuance, as Li Daoxu, is also the next sect leader recognized by the entire sect. The Li family has many loyal people, just like the forces of the Eastern Palace. Most of these people were born to Zhang Haishi after Situ Xuance's death. Under his command.

Although Zhang Haishi is not one of the three major families, he almost became the son-in-law of the Lu family. Zhang Haishi watched Lu Yanbing grow up and protected Lu Shizhen and his brother many times, which showed signs. So when the Lu family lacks a head of the family, they also follow Zhang Haishi.

In this way, Zhang Haishi became extremely powerful and became the second largest figure in the Qingwei Sect under Li Daoxu. If Li Yuanying did not have Li Daoxu's support, he would not be able to compete with Zhang Haishi at all.

However, Zhang Haishi was unintentionally appointed as the leader of Qingwei Sect for various reasons. He had no children in his life. In addition to his senior brother Situ Xuance, the closest person is his junior brother Li Xuandu and junior sister Lu Yanbing who grew up. Lu Yanbing couldn't stand the wall, so he chose to support Li Xuandu as the new sect leader and replace Situ Xuance at that time. This is the origin of the "Fourth Party" that was once prominent in the Qingwei Sect.

At that time, Li Daoxu had already developed a world-weary heart. Without a better successor, he didn't mind seeing whether Li Xuan could take on the heavy burden, so he was willing to let it go.

Li Xuandu was quite ambitious. He first made a great name in the martial arts world, and then by chance he met Zhang Suqing, which led to all kinds of things that happened later.

At that time, Zhang Suqing was in power. Many fence-sitters saw that Li Xuandu seemed likely to become the son-in-law of the prime minister, and they all attached themselves to him. When the Four Gentlemen's Party became powerful, it seemed that even Li Daoxu had to give in.

It was a pity that the Imperial Capital Incident in the second year of Tianbao was a big defeat, and Li Daoxu had to come out and clean up the mess in person. After this incident, someone had to take responsibility. Li Xuandu had no choice but to "linger on" under the protection of Zhang Haishi. The Four Gentlemen's Party, which once occupied half of the Qingwei Sect, also collapsed. Situ Xuanlue was able to integrate the Situ family and became the real head of the Situ family. Zhang Haishi only had the power of the Lu family in his hands, and could be regarded as the head of the Lu family.

The Li family was in chaos, and Li Yuanying took the opportunity to gain power and win over some of the Li family members. With the support of Li Daoxu, he became the leader. Li Taiyi also began to emerge, and many people in the Li family secretly bet on Li Taiyi.

In this way, the situation had gradually become clear.

If nothing unexpected happened, Li Yuanying or Li Taiyi would sooner or later be able to integrate the Li family, and the winner would successfully control the Qingwei Sect with the support of the Situ family. Zhang Haishi would be alone and could only acquiesce.

But with Li Xuandu's comeback and Li Feiyan's return to the Qingwei Sect and joining forces with Zhang Haishi, everything has changed.

If anyone can challenge Li Daoxu's prestige in the Li family, it must be Li Feiyan, because she is a member of the orthodox Li family and is regarded as a legitimate child. She was trapped in the Demon Suppression Platform, and the legitimate faction was leaderless, but with her return, the legitimate faction had a leader again and gathered together. Although Li Daoshi, the leader of the son-in-law faction, was inclined to favor Li Yuanying, he was naturally inferior to Li Feiyan and was suppressed by Li Feiyan everywhere.

The key point was that Li Xuandu was becoming more and more powerful, and Li Daoxu's attitude was ambiguous, which made many old members of the Four Masters Party have active thoughts again. The seemingly stable and most powerful faction of the adopted sons was directly divided into three, supporting Li Yuanying, Li Xuandu, and Li Taiyi respectively.

All this was due to Li Daoxu's inaction. He could have suppressed these factional struggles, but he did nothing and just watched coldly. Li Xuandu originally had complaints about this, but as Li Xuandu came to Li Daoxu's position, he suddenly found that Li Daoxu's fatigue was actually justified.

When the Dao Sect negotiated peace between the north and the south, Li Xuandu drove Li Yuanying and Li Taiyi out of the Qingwei Sect, supported Lu Yanbing and Lu Shizhen of the Lu family to take the throne, and replaced Li Ruxian of the adopted son faction with Li Rujian of the Li family's direct lineage. So far, the legitimate faction of the Li family, the adopted son faction, and the Lu family headed by Zhang Haishi have all chosen to support Li Xuandu. The son-in-law faction and the Situ family follow Li Daoxu's lead, and there is no problem with Li Daoxu's official transfer of the throne to Li Xuandu.

In this way, Li Xuandu can be said to be the popular choice.

But Li Xuandu is not very happy, because those factional struggles have not disappeared, but still exist, but the offensive and defensive forces are different. For example, the Lu family, which had to swallow their anger during Li Yuanying's reign, is now proud, while many people in the son-in-law faction headed by Li Daoshi and the Situ family are worried that the Lu family and the legitimate faction of the Li family will take the opportunity to counterattack. There are too many such examples to list.

Li Xuandu can suppress these factional struggles, but he cannot eliminate them, or even fundamentally ease these struggles. Every time he suppresses them, he actually deepens the contradictions and rifts.

Can Li Xuandu stop the counterattack of the Lu family? No. The Lu family also has something to say. When you were down and out, our Lu family never left you. Now that you are in power, isn't this what we deserve? If Li Xuandu really did this, it would chill people's hearts, and he would be known as a mean and ungrateful person. How would Lu Yanbing, Lu Shizhen and others view Li Xuandu? Even Zhang Haishi would be dissatisfied.

This is just the Lu family.

There are also three major factions, the Situ family and the Li family.

So Li Xuandu can understand why Li Daoxu was tired of the world in his later years, and he had nowhere to start and achieved little success. Li Daoxu could play with many factions through his prestige and the conflicts between the families, but he could not eliminate these conflicts. This is the key.

So Li Xuandu felt that the road was difficult when he returned to Qingwei Sect this time. After all, Qingwei Sect is not the imperial capital, and they are all his own people, so they cannot raise their swords at will, let alone cut the Gordian knot.
