On the other hand, in order to maintain the rules of the Guoxue Palace, Wu Xiangwen opposed Jiang Xingtian's unreasonable claims in public and prevented Du Ning from attending classes. Even if he was forced to leave the Guoxue Palace, he would still gain the support of most scholars. In the literary world Various controversies arose.

When the time comes, can’t we take this opportunity to become popular?

This is a literary title! A real literary title!

Thinking of this, Wu Xiangwen felt a little excited.

Yang Bilou looked at Wu Xiangwen and asked: "Mr. Wu, I would like to ask you, have you ever written articles to govern the country?"

"No." Wu Xiangwen replied.

"Have you ever had a war poem handed down to the world?" Yang Bilou asked again.

"No."

"Has anyone ever written a work similar to "The Thousand Character Essay" that has contributed to the human race?"

"This...this..."

Wu Xiangwen's face darkened, he thought for a while, and then said: "I admit that Du Ning has made great achievements in the literary world, but this cannot be a reason to make an exception for the Guoxue Palace, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the scholars all over the world."

"Then have you ever prayed for the people, gathered the sword of public opinion, and punished corrupt officials?" Yang Bilou's eyes narrowed.

"What! Isn't the matter about the Sword of Public Opinion just a rumor spread by false rumors?"

Wu Xiangwen was shocked and couldn't believe it.

He had heard about Du Ning's writing against the Nanping government office and the use of the sword of public opinion to punish corrupt officials, but wasn't that an exaggeration? How could the sword of public opinion be so easy to master? Even ordinary Confucians did it Not even that, not to mention that Du Ning was only a ninth-grade scholar at that time?

"Who said it was a false rumor?"

Yang Bilou said loudly: "At that time, Fan Sheng came to Nanping Mansion with holy thoughts."

"What!"

Almost everyone looked surprised. Even Fan Qianfeng could confirm this, which is enough to prove the authenticity of the incident.

They can question others, but they never dare to question the semi-saints.

Even if you know that what the half-saint said is false, you can't expose it in public.

At this moment, even Du Ning was surprised. It turned out that Fan Qianfeng, a half-saint from the Yun Kingdom, had paid attention to that matter with his holy thoughts.

Du Ning thought about it carefully. The sword of public opinion can affect the fate of the country. If Fan Qianfeng senses the changes in the fate of the country, it is impossible for him to sit idly by and ignore it.

"Du Ning not only prayed for the people, but also defeated Liao students in this year's dragon boat battle to safeguard the dignity of the Yun Kingdom literary world. When the semi-saint family of Liao was fighting in Suzhou, he stood up and defeated ten students with his own strength.

At that time, Du Ning, a member of a semi-sage family, was only a scholar of the ninth grade of Confucianism and Taoism."

"What? Defeating a member of a semi-saint family with the cultivation of a ninth-grade scholar? This is impossible! I don't believe it!" Wu Xiangwen shouted.

"Really? Is Mr. Du's literary strength so powerful?"

"Who knows, we haven't seen it before!"

"Even Mr. Yang said this, there is no way it is false. There is no need for him to deceive us for Du Ning."

"That makes sense."

Many students discussed it.

Yang Bilou's eyes turned cold and he said slowly: "Now I would like to ask Mr. Wu, what achievements have you made in your life? If you can tell me what you have done that can benefit the country or the human race, I will immediately send Du Ning to

He was expelled from the National Academy and was not even allowed to participate in the Academy Competition."

"I...I..."

Wu Xiangwen hesitated, his face turning green and red.

Yang Bilou continued: "With Du Ning's achievements, it would not be too much to make an exception and recruit him as a student of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, because he has indeed made contributions to the country and the human race."

"Unlike you, who thinks that he is a student of the Guoxue Palace, is rude and arrogant, thinks that he is superior to others, and can look down on scholars from other liberal arts colleges. But have you ever thought about it, you have not made any achievements yet, and you have nothing to do with those scholars who have done nothing.

What's the difference? Who do you think you are? Do you think that Du Ning's coming to the Guoxue Palace to attend lectures is the greatest humiliation to you? Little do you know that a pretentious scholar like you who does nothing is the disgrace to the Guoxue Palace!"

"You..."

Wu Xiangwen was so angry that his chest surged. He didn't expect that Yang Bilou would criticize him like this in public.

As a student of the Guoxue Palace and a member of a famous family in the capital, have you ever suffered such humiliation?

What made Wu Xiangwen even more angry was that what Yang Bilou said was not wrong, and Wu Xiangwengen had no way to refute it.

If the two have to compare, Wu Xiangwen is nothing compared to Du Ning.

Stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice.

Not only did Wu Xiangwen fail to outdo Du Ning, but he was so criticized by Yang Bilou that he would definitely become the laughing stock of the students in the Guoxue Palace.
