My senior sister is not a human being!

"The first demon king I killed...hiss, so cold."

Su Yuchen shrank his neck, and Senior Tia's windbreaker returned to his arms.

Pole!

With a crisp snap of the fingers, the flames turned into thick steam in the storm, spreading in all directions, squeezing into the doors and windows of the alley like clouds, and rising up.

Still moving at a leisurely pace.

Su Yuchen walked out of the clouds with an umbrella and gradually disappeared into the rain curtain in the night sky.

A heavy rain is enough to erase all traces.

……

"He never won, but..."

“He’s never lost either.”

Su Yuxi's voice echoed in her mind, and the smug smile on Yuxiang's face gradually disappeared. She was reminiscing.

Yes, never won!

Judging from the existing battle records against him, he has never won against either the Demon King or the "Torchbearers" of the same level as him, but...

The Demon King, the Flame Bearer, the Special Onmyoji, the Blessed Knight who had fought with him...did they ever say that they won?

Have it?

Yu Xiang couldn't remember clearly, she only remembered that he had never won. If he didn't win, then he lost, right?

Between life and death, how could there be an outcome like a 'draw' that exists between victory and defeat?

Isn't this nonsense?

Is it possible that you can still hold back on your opponent?

But when I think about it carefully, the torch bearer of Chang'an Kingdom is not dead, and those who fought with him are not dead either... Wait, I was almost led astray by her.

Yuxiang's lips curled up into a sarcastic smile: "So you mean running away... He is known for his strongest defense, but his ability to escape is also quite outstanding."

Su Yuxi's smile remained unchanged: "Even if that's what you said, do you think you can capture my brother to threaten me?"

Yu Xiang's heart, which was originally confident of victory, was shaken again. The Demon King Yan Qi was very strong, but that was in the past. He had not appeared in the mountains for hundreds of years. How much strength could he exert at such an old age? And how much did he know about the current technological power of mankind?

"Thank you." Su Yuxi suddenly said, "I know your methods are becoming more and more violent... I'm very angry that you dared to attack my brother."

"Really, really angry."

Yu Xiang looked at her graceful neck revealed by her long hair, and at the girl who was in her growth stage and would definitely have a graceful figure in the future, which could not be completely covered by the conservative evening dress, and chuckled: "Angry? What's the use of anger without power?"

Su Yuxi did not speak. She stood quietly and cast her eyes on the first dragon throne, where sat the ruler of this country, Emperor Xuan'an, who was also her own uncle.

It’s almost time. I will get a surprise reward from my brother soon. What kind of reward will it be?

Original clothes...呸呸呸呸, as long as it is a gift from my brother, no matter what it is, it will be a treasure that I can treasure for a lifetime.

As the singing and dancing was about to come to an end, the state leaders sitting in their respective seats gradually put down their chopsticks, waiting for Emperor Xuan'an to deliver his Mid-Autumn Festival speech.

Then after they sing their praises, they can go back to their homes... It is really boring to be in this situation where you cannot talk about family and national affairs.

The singing gradually stopped and the dancers retreated one by one. Many people were ready to clap their hands. However, Emperor Xuan'an on the dragon throne had no intention of standing up. He still squinted his eyes as if he was recalling the singing and dancing just now.

In the silence without anyone urging them, everyone saw Wei Jin, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department who always accompanied Emperor Xuan'an, take a step forward and say, "Your Majesty has an order!"

As soon as the voice fell, many people's faces changed slightly. The speech at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner could not be an imperial edict, which meant that the content of the imperial edict was a certain resolution.

For several years, Emperor Xuan'an had never issued any decree, why did he do so at this time?

Without giving it much thought, important cabinet officials and invited guests from royal families stood up one after another, lowered their heads slightly, waiting for the edict to be read out, thinking quickly about what kind of impact this edict would have on the country... If it was an edict that insisted on its own way, it might be possible to use the "right to seal and reject" that had never been used before.

The chief eunuch Wei Jin took out a bright yellow imperial edict from his sleeves and slowly unfolded it while his voice resounded throughout the banquet hall.

"Chang'an Princess Su Yuxi received the order."

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Princess Chang'an Su Yuxi is well-read and well-mannered, dignified and diligent, never slack in following orders, calm and gentle, intelligent, and benevolent. She is hereby conferred the title of Princess Chang'an and appointed Minister of Finance. This is my decree!"

Su Yuxi walked to the front with a calmness that was not typical of her age. She didn't need to kneel, but just raised her hands to receive the imperial edict.

"I accept the decree."

……

Chapter 63 Brother, we were backstabbed!

"Master Prime Minister, Master Prime Minister, please stay!"

Sun Yunshan, the chief personnel officer of the Imperial Cabinet, walked out of the Imperial Capital Hotel, quickened his pace and called out to the chief minister Xie Jianyang who was about to get in the car.

The cabinet chief minister, who was over fifty years old, had few white hairs on his head. He turned his head and said calmly, "Let's talk in the car."

The car starts.

“Your Excellency, Prime Minister!” Sun Yunshan’s expression was serious: “The Emperor directly bypassed the personnel department to appoint the Minister of Finance, and the person he appointed was a 17-year-old girl. This is too…”

It was not easy to say something too much, so Sun Yunshan took a deep breath and said, "Master Prime Minister, there is only one letter difference between the title of Princess and Princess, but the difference in influence is like the difference between a place and a country. Conferring the title of Princess to Su Yuxi can bring many benefits to the Royalist Party, and now she is also asked to report to the important position of Minister of Finance. Not to mention how great the influence is, countries around the world will laugh at us!"

"It's a joke that our huge Xuanqing Empire doesn't even have a capable person. The finances of a country need a 17-year-old girl to manage it!"

Sun Yunshan turned his head and looked at Xie Jianyang, who was narrowing his eyes. "Once the emperor starts this, the balance that has been maintained for so long will definitely be broken... Prime Minister, please say something."

"Hold on." Xie Jianyang said slowly, "If we ignore her age and her status as the leader of the Royalist Party, do you think she can be qualified for the position of Minister of Finance?"

Sun Yunshan pondered for a moment and said, "She is able to manage the vast Northern Territory in an orderly manner, and her GDP ranks among the top five in the country. Her personal ability is naturally quite outstanding. Although the finances of a place and a country cannot be compared, with her ability, she will be able to handle it with ease after getting familiar with it for a period of time... She is capable of this position."

"But once she is competent, the princess and the Minister of Finance will raise her prestige to a very high level. The cabinet has finally achieved its current status. How can we return to the feudal era of the monarchy with one person having the final say?"

"Master Prime Minister, you must use your 'power of rejection' tomorrow to reject the Emperor's order... In order to avoid the Emperor losing face, you can agree to his order to confer the title of 'Princess Chang'an' on Su Yuxi."

Xie Jianyang crossed his hands between his legs and asked calmly, "How many years has it been since your Majesty issued an appointment decree?"

"ten years."

"Then do you think the first personnel appointment decree in ten years can be rejected by the power of rejection?" Xie Jianyang said slowly: "There are so many departments in the cabinet. In addition to our new faction, there are also royalists, representatives of local factions, and neutrals... Although we have the greatest influence in the cabinet, can we get two-thirds of the votes?"

"Why not? We..." Sun Yunshan paused and said, "Master Prime Minister, do you mean that some of us will not vote for this?"

"Ah."

"When was the damn Prince Chang'an bribed?" Sun Yunshan slapped his thigh, his words full of dissatisfaction.

"It may not be that he was bribed." Xie Jianyang said calmly: "Maybe he just has no choice temporarily... The situation has become like this, and you also have a responsibility."

Xie Jianyang turned his head and glanced at Sun Yunshan: "It has been three months since Li Jinyan retired at the appropriate age. In three months, you still haven't decided on a new Minister of Finance. You have to take this responsibility."

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is right." Sun Yunshan quickly lowered his head.

Xie Jianyang snorted coldly: "You want to maximize your profits, so you keep it in suspense... If it happens again, you can resign."

"No." The car was warm, but Sun Yunshan's forehead was already covered with cold sweat: "Master Prime Minister, since the right to block and reject is useless, then?"

"Although it may not be useful, we still need to use it at the morning court tomorrow to show the cabinet's attitude towards this decree."

"What if I fail?"

"Minimize the losses." Xie Jianyang said expressionlessly, "Since your majesty has promoted her to the position of Minister of Finance, then it is just right that the problem of underpayment or nonpayment of local taxes in recent years can be handed over to her to deal with."

Those who can enter the cabinet are all smart people. After hearing what Xie Jianyang said, Sun Yunshan immediately understood what the Prime Minister meant.

"If she handles it well, then the local noble families, princes and dukes will be completely hostile to her and the royalists; if she doesn't handle it well, the people will think that the prince is protecting the prince, and she will attract countless insults!"

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister's plan is a good one, as it will not please both sides." Sun Yunshan flattered him a little: "Your Majesty has not dealt with state affairs for a long time, and now he has personally pushed the Prince of Chang'an into such an embarrassing situation. A constitutional monarchy will surely..."

"Be careful!"

Xie Jianyang whispered and turned his head to look out the window at the bustling nighttime scene of the imperial capital.

'Your Majesty, does he really not know that this decree will bring about such consequences?'

……

royal palace.

"Didn't you eat enough at the banquet? Eat more here. They are all made by Jingyun himself."

Emperor Xuan'an looked at Su Yuxi with a kind smile: "Here, we are a family, there is no need to be restrained."

"Thank you, uncle." Su Yuxi thanked him and picked up a small piece of cabbage.

Eating too much at night can easily make her fat, and she doesn’t want to become a little fat girl. How could her brother like her if she did that?

As a woman, Su Jingyun immediately saw through Su Yuxi's thoughts. Fortunately, she didn't do much, otherwise she would have been left behind again.

"Yuxi." After chatting for a while, Emperor Xuan'an suddenly said, "You won't blame me for secretly adding an order to let you take the position of Minister of Finance, right?"

Emperor Xuan'an still had a smiling face when looking at Su Yuxi... In this way, Chang'an State can only protect the imperial family more closely.

The Minister of Finance manages the empire's finances and handles taxation, which is bound to offend both the cabinet and local factions.

Although there is a third option of "stop leading the royalists and become independent", once this is done, the image of Chang'an that it had previously established as a country that firmly defends the imperial family will collapse in an instant. At that time, it will be easy to launch a public opinion offensive, slandering Chang'an for having evil ambitions, and making people think that Chang'an had already allied with the northern monsters, so there was peace in the north.

At that time, both the cabinet and local forces would take advantage of Chang'an State's misfortune, because the land in the north was too rich. If Chang'an State was not so powerful, who would not want to have a piece of the pie?

At that time, the imperial family could reap the benefits and expand their power!

Based on this, Chang'an State has no choice but to continue to "protect the emperor" so as to avoid being surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Emperor Xuan'an leaned back in his chair and said, Prince Chang'an... Even if my brother-in-law understood my intention, he could only pretend not to understand!

In order to ensure the safety of Chang'an, he can only choose to continue leading the royalist party!

"No, I also want to thank my uncle for the important task. This way we will have more confidence to confront the cabinet." Su Yuxi said with a smile.

"Although this decree was not included in the plan we discussed at the beginning, Your Majesty, you issued it very well." Su Jingyun also joined in praising her husband: "The cabinet must be in chaos now."

Emperor Xuan'an hummed. Although Su Yuxi was very capable, he was not very politically sensitive after all. He would not think too much about it and would just think that this was a good thing.

"Uncle, what if the cabinet uses the 'power of blocking and refutation' tomorrow?" Su Yuxi asked expressing his concerns.

"I have my own way of dealing with this matter."

……

After leaving the palace and returning to her room in Chang'an Building, Su Yuxi immediately sent a video invitation to her brother.

Got connected quickly.

"Brother, we've been backstabbed!"

Chapter 64 My brother gradually treated me like a grown-up girl

Su Yuchen returned home and took a nice hot bath, just as he sat on the sofa, he received a video invitation from his sister.

"Brother, we've been backstabbed!"

While Su Yuxi spoke to her brother with a serious expression, she did not forget to quickly take a screenshot of her brother coming out of the bath with her fingers.

"Backstab?"

Su Yuchen was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that his sister came to him for a surprise reward, but she didn't expect that the first thing she said was something unexpected: "Who backstabbed you?"

"Our uncle the Emperor." Su Yuxi reached out and grabbed the imperial edict and waved it in front of the camera. "Originally, it was just an imperial edict to confer the title of princess from a county princess, but now, not only does this imperial edict confer the title of princess, it also asks me to report to the Minister of Finance."

Hearing this, Su Yuchen put down the hand that was wiping his hair with the towel and said, "Didn't I discuss this with you in advance?"

"No, my aunt also looked surprised when the imperial edict was read out." Su Yuxi said as she reached her right hand behind her and pulled down the zipper of her evening dress a little bit - she was fed a lot by her aunt in the palace, and the evening dress was tight-fitting, so it felt a little tight around her belly when she sat down.

Of course, this was just the reason her brother gave her when he asked her not to do that.

As for the real reason, of course it’s the temptation of evening gowns.

The dark blue long-sleeved evening dress became a little loose because the zipper was unzipped, revealing a small piece of white and tender shoulders. Su Yuxi secretly glanced at her brother on the screen, her expression a little frustrated. It was obvious that her brother's attention was not on the screen, hum~

After adjusting her sitting posture, Su Yuxi sat upright on the sofa. Her buttocks and beautiful back, which were still in the growth stage, outlined a slightly immature curve. She deliberately pressed most of her skirt under her legs, so that the beautiful shape of her legs could be seen under the skirt.

After doing all this, she bent down and looked at the screen again: "Brother~ What do you think is the reason why he issued this decree?"

Su Yuchen looked at the screen of his mobile phone, and then his eyes moved away. He sat with his body bent forward, just in time to see the curve of the girl's immature development: "Yuxi, you are playing dumb again, how could you not know what this decree means?"

Seeing him look away, Su Yuxi smiled happily. My brother also thinks I am not a child anymore. That’s great~
