It's useless to plead for mercy.

"Du is indeed unruly, but so what? Is there any express provision in the court laws and Chinese studies palace rules that prohibits me, Du Ning, from being unruly? If Mr. Yan Yuan can say one thing, Du will leave Fu Wenyuan immediately.

Never say too much."

Du Ning responded tit for tat without showing any weakness.

"You are arrogant!" Yan Song shouted coldly.

"Originally, there were some things I didn't want to say, but now that Mr. Yan Yuan has spoken for this reason, there are some things that Du will not be happy to say."

Du Ning said loudly: "As the president of the Academy of Arts, you confuse right and wrong, distort facts, and fail to distinguish right from wrong. This is negligence."

"It is a violation of the law to cancel Du's academic qualifications in the name of the emperor, to despise the teachings of Confucius and to avenge private hatred."

"On the surface, you are fair and honest, but in fact, you are sanctimonious and high-sounding. This is hypocrisy."

"How can a person like you who is careless, perverts the law, and hypocritical have the qualifications to serve as the president of the Nanping Prefecture Literary Academy? This is simply a provocation to the saints and a shame to us Nanping Prefecture literati!"

These words made everyone stunned.

Du Ning used his youth as a child to criticize the dean of the Academy of Arts, a dignified bachelor!

"You are slanderous! You are slanderous! How dare you, a thief, slander me like this!"

Yan Song was so angry that he didn't expect that as a court master, he would be so miserable in Du Ning's eyes.

This is simply a shame!

If Du Ning's words spread, it will have a great impact on Yan Song's literary reputation.
