A piece of paper

Chapter 392 Who can say she was unsuccessful? (End of text)
In an instant, the building collapsed, and almost everyone on the tower heard the sound of expected collapse.

The emperor is dead!

The emperor's neck was slit in front of their eyes! Now he was like a plucked chicken, with blood gushing out of his neck, twitching, and using his hands to uselessly plug the huge bloody hole in his neck - the scene was absurd and weird.

Everyone was stunned for a blink of an eye, and then a clever servant moved from the featherless and blood-spurting chicken to Xianjin - the boss was dead, how could these minions still survive?

The answer must be no.

When everyone reacted, someone took the lead and rushed towards Xianjin with a knife.

Before the man raised his knife, he was hit by an arrow in the left chest!
Xianjin turned his head and immediately squatted down. This seemed like a signal!
Then, arrows rained down on the tower like crazy. Those who were standing in the open area of ​​the tower were killed instantly by the sudden rain of arrows, while those who were hiding in the dark turned around and ran away without any desire to fight. Xianjin slowly stood up with the help of the bluestone bricks, lowered his head and looked down.

Drops of blood that had already cooled down hung on her long eyelashes, dyeing all the scenes before her eyes with a layer of enchanting red.

Under the high tower, a man with broad shoulders and narrow waist on horseback held a bow on one hand and bowed his head towards Xianjin from a distance, his posture relaxed and humble.

Deliberate killings often come and go like a storm.

The two thousand people in the village were like turtles in a jar. Those who resisted stubbornly were beheaded, and those who surrendered were tied in front of horses. The empress of Emperor Zhaode, two low-ranking concubines with children, and their children were all controlled in a small house at the entrance of the village. A group of captives knelt in the parade ground, and dead bodies and body parts were piled up in the valley.

There was a bloody smell that was almost solid flowing between his nostrils.

The soldiers shouted as they counted the spoils.

Tibetan fox teacher Liangliang passed by and waved his fist high at Xianjin: ".Agile movements! What a nimble fox!"

Xianjin waved his hand: Thank you so much, we have suddenly become a species!
Xianjin turned around and looked towards the valley with dim eyes. Her night blindness prevented her from seeing clearly, but the flowing cold air allowed her to clearly feel that life was as small as a mayfly under the influence of power disputes.

"very good."

A cold and hoarse female voice came from behind.

Xianjin turned his head.

At some point, Princess Bai'an stood behind Xianjin and said, "Smart, decisive, strong, intelligent, brave - even when I was twenty, I couldn't be as good as you."

Princess Bai'an stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes as sharp as torches, as if she could not smell the overwhelming bloody smell at all: "This country needs people like you - Xianjin, return to your roots, I can make you the Crown Princess, and Empress Wu Zetian will be crowned Empress through marriage. You don't have to suffer the pain of marriage, and you don't have to climb up step by step - your aunt will pave the way for you and hold you very high. When the time comes, all nations will pay homage to you, no matter if they are enemies or friends, they must smile and wish you long live."

Xianjin glanced sideways at Princess Bai'an.

Princess Bai'an spoke with arrogance and pride, as if with just one order, the mountains and rivers of the nine provinces would be under her control.

Princess Bai'an was holding the mountains, rivers and land in front of her.

She had always felt Princess Bai'an's expectations.

I feel moved.

She never concealed her ambition.

She wants to be the rule, not an ant under the rule. She wants to use her power and boldly challenge the old customs of the entire country alone. She wants her thoughts to shine more brightly on a larger platform.

The opportunity is right in front of you.

Opportunity, the opportunity that everyone dreams of, is right at her fingertips.

Princess Bai'an's cape fluttered, the tip of the knife hung low, and a few drops of blood sank into the mud along the blade. Her profile was straight and powerful, and her eyebrows were not trimmed long and neatly, but instead had the savagery and wildness of all things.

"Aunt, do you know how I feel now?" Xianjin turned his head and whispered.

Princess Bai'an wanted to hear more details: "Hmm?"

"I feel like throwing up."

Xianjin said calmly, "My stomach is empty, but my throat is full of acid and my abdomen is bloated and painful, as if thousands of waves are beating against my stomach and intestines. I just walked down from the tower, and my knees went weak and I fell to the ground."

Princess Bai'an lowered her eyes and said, "I'm not used to killing and setting fires, but it's normal."

Xianjin shook his head. "As the boss of a paper shop, if I fail miserably, I will just lose money and land, close the shop, and raise enough capital to be a hero again in a year. But as a person in a high position of power, if I make a wrong decision, thousands of lives will be paid for it. Just now, if I hesitated for a moment, not only would I be beheaded, but the three thousand cavalrymen who came here today would also face the situation of overturning."

"Those in power should fear incompetence and mediocrity the most." Xianjin said in a cold voice: "Emperor Xun was mediocre. A natural disaster caused three man-made disasters. The Wei Dynasty regressed thirty years. The southeastern coast was invaded by the Japanese, and the Tatars in the northern border almost invaded. Emperor Zhaode was fooled by the minions and used as a banner by the minions. Confucianism almost collapsed and academic circles were closed. What's worse, he colluded with the Japanese and almost handed over the country's sea areas to others." "If they were gentry and landlords, would they have the opportunity to cause such a disaster?" Xianjin looked up at the stars falling low to the west not far away.

Princess Bai'an stood with the tip of her knife on the ground, "Of course I can't do that. The best I can do is drink and have fun, and do nothing for the rest of my life."

Xianjin fixed his eyes on the stars not far away and raised one hand: "I am still just a small star now. I promised my colleagues and bosses in Xuancheng Prefecture to expand the rice paper business to the land of Kyushu, but I have not yet fulfilled my promise;"

He raised his hand again: "How can it be that moon in the sky out of nowhere?"

Xianjin put down his hand and turned to look back at Princess Bai'an: "You entered the military camp at the age of fifteen, and chased and killed the enemy for three thousand miles. You rose from a centurion to a commander-in-chief. You suffered enough hardships in the meantime, and now you are able to plan and kill decisively. I was already holding back my stomach churning on the high tower just now, and I was struggling to hold on. You still want to be my east wind, asking me to lift higher, so wouldn't I be completely exposed and naked?"

Princess Bai'an stared at Xianjin quietly for a moment, then slowly looked away and said in a deep voice: "Emperor Gongwen, oh, my grandfather, was the one who stood out among the nine princes in the battle for the throne; the late emperor, my father, finally became the crown prince at the age of thirty because of the absurd rebellion of his eldest brother, the Empress Dowager, and his good reading and thinking. The former worked hard to govern the country and led the Gongwen regime; the latter expanded the territory and won the two states of Chang and Di."

"Your father, my brother, inherited the throne effortlessly with legitimate blood, but..." Princess Bai'an sighed deeply, "As elders, we always want the younger generation to live happily and enjoy life, but we forget that a sharp sword is forged through grinding and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."

Xianjin said nothing.

She wanted to become the rule. In the face of huge temptation, she forced herself to be clear-headed and weighed herself - about 3.8 kg. Thanks to the financial economics theory that had been developed for a hundred years, she had no problem doing business and calculating marketing.

But this is not a store, nor a business, it is a country!
Rights and responsibilities go hand in hand. She doesn't think that the less than ten years she has lived in Wei is enough for her to shine and make a difference!
Please!

She didn't even understand the differences between the Ministry of Civil Affairs, states, prefectures, counties, the six ministries and local governments, and military generals and civil officials!
At the wind vent in the col, the smell of blood gradually dissipated, the stars set in the west, and the sun began to rise.

The soldiers behind him were still counting the prisoners.

Qiao Hui sat on a tall horse. The sound of horse hooves seemed bright and clear like the morning bell in the mountains.

Princess Bai'an seemed to remember something: "The Nurgan Dusi Fengpin Yi, who allowed his wife and daughter to defect to the rebels, was immediately dismissed from his post and investigated. Yesterday, the Marquis of Zhongwu requested to go to Nurgan on a certain day to fill the vacancy - have you discussed this?"

Xianjin turned around and smiled: "He chose Nurgan?"

Princess Bai'an's eyes did not move.

Xianjin smiled and turned his head: "On the map, there are Yumen, Nurgan, Xiangxi and Qiongzhou. I thought he would choose Qiongzhou - after all, it was an achievement made on a ship. Who knew he would choose Nurgan, the northernmost one!"

Xian Jin's complexion showed obvious happiness.

Knowing there is a tiger in the mountain, one still goes there. Give up the comfort zone and embrace new challenges - it is worthy of the big-chested hairtail she has set her eyes on!

Princess Bai'an's eyes suddenly softened: outside Yumen Pass are the Tatars, Nurgan is freezing cold and has the Rakshasas eyeing them covetously, Xiangxi still has a country within a country, the Miao people are fierce and undisciplined, Qiongzhou is hot and remote, if Luzon invades, they will be the first to fight.
Each of these four places has its own troubles. They are all places where officials in the court take refuge. How can they compare to the prosperity and comfort of the capital?
But it just so happened that one was of royal blood and the other was a close minister of the emperor, and they hit it off immediately and wanted to go very much.

Xianjin's previous dejection was blown away by a large part. Facing the rising sun, Xianjin's eyes sparkled: "Then let's go to Nurgan first! Work from north to south! While doing the rice paper business, we can also learn about the customs and habits of different places! Baoyuan and I are only in our twenties now. Even if we spend ten years outside to hone our skills, we will only be in our forties or early thirties when we return to Beijing. It's a good time to do things!"

Princess Bai'an was speechless.

If the queen mother had been willing to send her younger brother to a cold and bitter place like Nurgan to temper his life, would his ending have been different?
No, no, no.

There is even no need to throw it to Nurgan.

Thrown out of the capital, thrown into Sichuan, thrown into Suzhou and Hangzhou, thrown into the Central Plains, after seeing through the ups and downs of officialdom, the wickedness of human nature, and the exchanges of interests, my younger brother will definitely be very different!

After a long pause, Princess Bai'an deliberately said, "Ten years is too long. Perhaps I will also pick out one or two talented people from the Xu family's children?"

Xianjin shrugged: "That's fine. By then, I will have owned six rivers and more than twenty avenues, and sold rice paper to Luosha, Tianzhu, Luzon, and England. Who can say that I am not successful?"

Princess Bai'an smiled.

In the east, the sun rises, casting a red glow.

Regardless of blood, regardless of identity, regardless of time and space.

She is open-minded, smart, down-to-earth, hardworking, not obsessed with details, and dares to face her flaws.

Who can say that a girl like this won't succeed?

It is expected that there will be about 5-8 extra chapters to fill the holes buried in the text one by one.

Please stop rushing me and let me take a break.
