Fights Break Sphere: After I became Xiao Yan's sister, I was loved by everyone

Chapter 645 Chaos in the Court
The old man was probably too tired and fell asleep with Xiao Xue's comfort. Du Ning'an looked at his father on the bed. He was a completely different person compared to a few years ago.

At that time, the king of Luoyan Empire was so high-spirited and he was also the only Douhuang powerful man in the royal family. But now he has been destroyed by poison.

It was really unexpected that Xiao Xue patted Du Ning'an on the shoulder.

"Let's go, let your father have a good rest."

Du Ning'an turned around and looked 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.

The people at the door looked at Du Ning'an's red and swollen eyes and wanted to ask something, but they didn't know how to start.

"There must be no mistakes tomorrow."

This sentence was actually a warning to Du Ning'an. He had been preparing for so long, so he shouldn't lose his composure because of the current situation.

Du Ning'an looked at the people who followed him, who had been lurking for two years. Today was the day to finally achieve success, and as the backbone, he certainly couldn't make any mistakes.

"Don't worry, Alliance Master. I will go discuss tomorrow's matters with the people I contacted before. I'll leave my father in my hands, Alliance Master."

Xiao Xue nodded slightly, and Du Ning'an regained his previous tenacity and began to act.

The next day, Du Ningping, who had not received any news, went to the main hall to handle government affairs as before.

However, unexpectedly, there were a lot more people coming to the hall today than usual, and many of those who had conflicts with him also came.

Du Ningping found it strange. He wanted to kill all these old guys, but he was afraid of being labeled as a tyrant, so he just demoted them. According to the rules and regulations of the court, they had no right to attend government affairs.

Du Ningping felt uneasy as soon as he entered the hall, but he still maintained the composure of a king.

"It's really strange today. Why are you all, who should be enjoying your retirement, all coming to the meeting hall? Don't you understand the rules of the dynasty?"

Du Ningping wanted to take the initiative and make these old guys give up.

Especially those people from the aristocratic families who used to be in charge of the military.

As soon as Du Ningping finished speaking, a man stepped out without kneeling or bowing to Du Ningping.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the army that went to the Gama Empire suffered heavy losses this time. Only half of the 200,000 troops returned, and the rest all died in the Izumo Empire. I wonder if this is true."

When the entire court heard this, others began to discuss the matter.

Du Ningping's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

This happened only a few days later, and the badly damaged army did not return, but was stationed at the border and the news was strictly blocked.

How did they know? Could it be that Yan Luotian was behind this? Impossible, he was the commander-in-chief of this operation, he couldn't be that stupid.

Faced with the doubts of his former senior officials, Du Ningping was surprised at first, but soon calmed down.

"Master Song, I wonder where you got this news from? The imperial army is now attacking the Gama Empire. It won't take long to conquer the Gama Empire. At that time, the three kingdoms will divide the territory of the Gama Empire equally."

Before Du Ningping could finish his words, the middle-aged man known as the head of the Song family ignored Du Ningping's face as an emperor.

He actually burst into laughter in the hall, and Du Ningping's face turned gloomy.

There was a murderous intent in his tone: "Master Song, this is the Imperial Council Hall. You have no authority now. How dare you be so presumptuous in the hall?"

Du Ningping even roared in the end, with the purpose of intimidating Song Xuan, the head of the Song family.

Song Xuan listened to Du Ningping's threatening and death-inspiring tone, but he didn't care.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to deceive us?"

Du Ningping could no longer tolerate Song Xuan's criticism.

"What do you mean?"

"My meaning is very clear. Your Majesty originally insisted on sending troops to unite with the Izumo Empire and the Mulan Empire to fight against the Gama Empire, but in fact the army was ambushed by the Izumo Empire's army within the Izumo Empire, and more than half of the troops were lost. Your Majesty, I want to ask you, when has the empire suffered such a great humiliation?"

Du Ningping's hands couldn't help shaking as he listened to Song Xuan's words, and he was also quite angry.

He suddenly slammed the table, pointed at Song Xuan and roared: "Song Xuan, I let you enjoy your old age at home because the Song family has made contributions to the empire for many years. It seems that I was wrong. Now you are disturbing the court. Do you really think I dare not take action against the Song family?"

Du Ningping's anger was completely written on his face, and anyone could see that Du Ningping wanted to kill Song Xuan.

Some people who support Du Ningping certainly hope to use this opportunity to kill the Song family so that they can gain more benefits.

"Song Xuan, His Majesty is right. You are no longer serving in the court. How dare you interfere with His Majesty's decision? You are still brazenly saying that the imperial army was defeated. What evidence do you have?"

Song Xuan saw that the person who came out to help Du Ningping accuse him was from a small family and was once a small commander under him.

Now that Duan Ran has become a member of the court, Song Xuan finds it a little funny.

"You didn't lose the war? Then why haven't you received any reports about the army? As far as I know, the troops that fled back are now all at the border. Do you want to go and take a look? After all, you are the leader of the army, so you can't be afraid to go, right? Do you believe that they are ready to eat you now?"

This person was among the people who initially motivated Du Ningping to send troops. Now, facing Song Xuan's accusations, he was speechless for a moment.

He must have known that the army was defeated, but he didn't want to admit it in order to protect the power he had obtained.

“I don’t know what you are talking about, Song Xuan, don’t think that the Song family is one of the major families and you can act recklessly here. His Majesty can tolerate you, but I won’t.”

"Someone, take Song Xuan out and put him in jail. Hand him over to the officials for severe punishment."

Song Xuan laughed again, and the man asked curiously.

"Why are you laughing again?"

"Lord Li, you are so powerful. His Majesty hasn't said anything yet. Do you want to make the decision for His Majesty?"

The middle-aged man addressed as Lord Li turned pale instantly and turned away.

He immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I definitely did not mean that."

He knew Du Ningping's temper. He had wanted to show up today, but ended up hearing what Song Xuan said.

Not to mention showing my face, it would be good enough not to be suspected by His Majesty.

However, Du Ningping seemed to have changed his temperament this time. Instead of blaming him, he rewarded him for his loyalty.

This made him extremely panic-stricken, as Du Ningping had always disliked Song Xuan.

"Lord Li, what you said is very good. Come, take Song Xuan to the prison and wait for 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. Normally, as long as he gave the order, these people would run very fast. Why was there such a delay today?
