For the students of the six halls of the Imperial College, it was an inspiring event to see the emperor come to the Imperial College again after several months, and some even had the honor of seeing the emperor in person. However, the emperor came because of the rumor of cheating in the Banshan Hall test, which inevitably made many students who claimed to be excellent feel indignant.
But when the students who entered Minglun Hall heard the first words the emperor said, they were all shocked.
"Zhu Youning and Wu Ji, students of Banshan Hall of the Imperial College, framed their classmates, had no desire to make progress, and behaved badly. They are now expelled from the Imperial College, banned from taking the imperial examinations for ten years, and will never be allowed to receive a promotion."
Being banned from taking the imperial examinations for ten years was not a big deal for the students of Banshan Hall. If they could take the imperial examinations to gain fame, they would be members of Guangye Hall at the very least, if not in Ruxing Hall. However, not being able to receive any official position for the rest of their lives was absolutely fatal. Because that meant that while your father and grandfather were still around, they could still protect you, but when they were gone, you would be nothing more than a commoner!
Thinking that he only had one grandson, Zhu Heng's face turned pale. But Wu Taifu felt relieved - he had more than one son anyway, and with his official position and achievements, it was not enough for all his sons to receive benefits. Besides, after causing such a thing, he even wanted to drive that damned son out of the house, so how could he care about Wu Silang's life or death
But the students in other halls of Minglun Hall were all silent in fear of the emperor's iron fist - these were students from official families, who could be expelled or banned from taking the imperial examinations, or denied subsidies. If it were them, wouldn't it mean the end of them
So, when the emperor said that he would renovate the six halls, but at the same time, according to the old system at the beginning of the restoration of the country, the head of the hall would no longer be in charge of hundreds of people in one hall, but would follow the Song Dynasty system, with thirty people in each hall, and then select new scholars with outstanding literary talent as school principals to supervise the lectures, and the inner treasury would provide funds to ensure that each hall had at least five houses and five dormitories, there was thunderous applause, and no one objected, but everyone agreed!
Firstly, the six classrooms could no longer accommodate so many students, and the so-called large classes had gradually become a formality. Many doctors of the Imperial College did not even want to give lectures, let alone discipline the students. As a result, the academic atmosphere was lax and mediocre, even worse than Banshan Hall and Jiuzhang Hall.
As for the second point… If the imperial court can really allocate so many houses and provide everyone with various subsidies, then the word "Jiansheng" will not be just a superficial glamour like before, but will carry real gold letters… Maybe it will become a golden signboard in the future!
Many students cheered, and then gradually quieted down after Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye shouted and reminded them. But not long after, after someone took the lead in shouting, "The emperor is wise," the sound like a tsunami once again rolled out from inside the Minglun Hall to outside the Minglun Hall. Although there were far from three or four thousand people gathered together, and there were only about a thousand people in total, the momentum was very loud.
As a result, the students of Banshan Hall, who were originally shocked by the expulsion of Wu Silang and Zhu Youning from the Imperial College, were all slow in their voices and actions, and it took them a while before they hurriedly joined the ranks of those praising the emperor.
Although it was a little late, they were still very alert compared to the completely confused Zhang Shou. Zhang Shou didn't shout until he found that the broken gong-like voice of Xiangyang Earl Zhang Qiong could almost blow off the roof, and the school officials were shouting harder and harder, so much so that Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye also hesitantly joined in, and then he followed suit and shouted twice.
