The old man may have been too tired, so he fell asleep with Xiao Xue's comfort. Du Ning'an looked at his father on the bed, who looked completely different from a few years ago.
At that time, the king of the Luoyan Empire was so high-spirited and the only powerful warrior in the imperial family, but now he has been destroyed by poison.
It was really unexpected that Xiao Xue patted Du Ningan on the shoulder.
"Let's go and let your father have a good rest."
Du Ning'an looked back at his father lying on the bed again, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then left the room with Xiao Xue.
Several people at the door looked at Du Ning'an's red and swollen eyes and wanted to ask, but they didn't know how to ask.
"There must be no mistakes in tomorrow's affairs."
This sentence is actually a warning to Du Ning'an. He has been preparing for so long and should not be confused by the current situation.
Du Ning'an looked at these people who followed him and had gone through two years of hiding. Today was finally the time to achieve success and fame. As the backbone, of course he couldn't make any mistakes.
"Don't worry, Alliance Leader. I will discuss tomorrow's matters with the people I contacted before. Father, please leave it to Alliance Leader."
Xiao Xue nodded slightly, and Du Ning'an regained his previous tenacity and started taking action.
The next day, Du Ningping, who had not received any news, went to the main hall to handle political affairs as before.
It's just that today there are unexpectedly more people coming to the hall than usual, and there are also many people who don't deal with me.
Du Ningping felt strange. He wanted to kill all these old people, but he was afraid that they would not get used to the reputation of tyrants, so he just demoted them. According to the rules and regulations of the court, they had no right to attend political affairs.
Du Ningping felt uneasy as soon as he entered the hall, but he still maintained the magnanimity that a king should have.
"It's really strange today. Why do you people, who are supposed to enjoy your old age in peace, come to the meeting hall all in one fell swoop? Don't you understand the rules of the dynasty?"
Du Ningping wanted to get the upper hand and make these old guys retreat in the face of difficulties.
Especially those from aristocratic families who used to be in charge of the army.
As soon as Du Ningping finished speaking, someone came out of the queue without any kneeling ceremony to Du Ningping.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the troops sent to the Gama Empire this time suffered heavy losses. Only half of the 200,000 troops came back. The others all died in the Izumo Empire. I don't know if this is true."
When the entire court heard this, other people started talking.
Du Ningping's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
This incident happened only a few days ago, and the severely wounded troops did not come back. Instead, they were placed at the border and the news was strictly blocked.
How did they know? Could it be that Yan Luotian was causing trouble? Impossible, he is the commander-in-chief of this operation, he is not that stupid.
Faced with the doubts from former veterans, Du Ningping was surprised at first, but he soon stabilized.
"Master Song, I wonder where you got this news? Now the imperial army is attacking the Jiama Empire. It won't take long to conquer the Jiama Empire. By then, the three countries will equally divide the Jiama Empire's territory."
Before Du Ningping finished speaking, the middle-aged man known as the head of the Song family ignored Du Ningping's reputation as the emperor.
He actually laughed out loud in the main hall, and Du Ningping's face darkened.
There was murderous intent in his tone: "Master Song, this is the imperial meeting hall, and you don't have any authority now. How dare you be so presumptuous in the hall?"
Du Ningping even roared in the end, just to scare Song Xuan, the head of the Song family.
Song Xuan didn't care when he heard Du Ningping's threatening and death-like tone.
"Your Majesty, why did you deceive us?"
Du Ningping could no longer bear Song Xuan's accusations against him.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is very obvious. Your Majesty originally insisted on sending troops to unite the Izumo Empire and the Mulan Empire to jointly deal with the Gama Empire. However, in fact, the army was ambushed by the Izumo Empire's army in the Izumo Empire, and more than half of it was lost. Your Majesty, I want to ask
Tell me, when has the empire ever suffered such a humiliation?"
Listening to Song Xuan's words, Du Ningping's hands couldn't help but tremble, and he was also quite angry.
Suddenly he stood up and slapped the table, pointed at Song Xuan and roared: "Song Xuan, I only let you enjoy your old age at home because the Song family has contributed to the empire for many years. It seems that I was wrong. Now you are disturbing the court. You really
Do you think I dare not take action against the Song family?"
Du Ningping's anger was completely visible on his face, and everyone could see that Du Ningping had murderous intentions towards Song Xuan.
Some people who support Du Ningping certainly hope to kill the Song family, so that they will get more benefits.
"Song Xuan, your majesty is right. You are no longer serving in the court. How can you ignore your majesty's decision and still brazenly say that the imperial army was defeated? What evidence do you have?"
Song Xuan looked at the person who came out to help Du Ningping accuse him. He was a member of a small family and was a small commander under him at the beginning.
Now that Duan Ran has become a member of the court, Song Xuan feels a little funny.
"Weren't we defeated? Then why aren't there any reports about the troops? As far as I know, all the troops who ran back are now at the border. Do you want to go and have a look together? You are also the leader after all, so you won't dare to
Go ahead? Do you believe it or not that they have eaten your heart now?"
This person was among the people who initially moved Du Ningping to send troops. Now faced with Song Xuan's accusation, he was speechless for a moment.
He must have known about the army's defeat and was just trying to protect the rights he had obtained, but he didn't want to admit it.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Song Xuan, don't think that just because the Song family is one of several big families, you can act as you like here. Your Majesty can tolerate you, but I won't."
"Come here! Pull Song Xuan out and put him in a prison. He will be handed over to Yousi for serious punishment."
Song Xuan burst out laughing again, and the man asked curiously.
"Why are you laughing again?"
"Master Li, you have such great official authority. Your Majesty didn't say anything. Do you want to make the decision for His Majesty?"
The middle-aged man named Mr. Li paled instantly and turned around.
He immediately saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, I definitely don't mean this."
He knew Du Ningping's temperament. He wanted to show his face today, but Song Xuan said this.
Not to mention showing your face, it's already good enough not to be suspected by His Majesty.
However, Du Ningping seemed to have changed some of his temperament this time. Instead of blaming him, he rewarded him for his loyalty.
This frightened him to the point that Du Ning already disliked Song Xuan.
"Li Aiqing said very well. Someone will come and take Song Xuan to the prison to await trial."
Although Du Ningping's words were spoken, no guard came in from outside the door to escort Song Xuan.
Du Ningping felt that something was even more wrong. Usually, as long as he gave the order, these people would run very fast. Why was there such a delay today?
