In the interrogation hall, more than half of the school committee members and many elders had gathered.
Sitting in high positions in the interrogation hall were Xia Shangyun from the Wuziyuan, Yun Xuezhi from the Wenziyuan, Aibte from the Faziyuan, Shang Zhihe, the honorary dean, and Luan Hanmo, the director of the Academic Affairs Office.
The Ivy League School Committee is composed of nine school committee members, including the principal: Yan Quezhi. There are four deans: Xia Shangyun from the Wuziyuan, Yun Xuezhi from the Wenziyuan, Wu Dakui from the Qiziyuan, and Ai Bute from the Faziyuan. Three honorary deans: Shang Zhihe, Yang Fang, and Yu Minghao. and a supervisor in the Administration Department.
The composition of Qingteng is roughly the same as that of Changsun's previous life academy. It is divided into the administrative department, the four major academies, and some scattered departments directly under the administrative department, such as the Sutra Pavilion and the Trial Tower.
The four major colleges and the departments directly under them are the front-line departments of education, which are similar to the grassroots departments in Zhangsun's previous life.
The Administrative Department, like the previous government departments, has gathered most of the power of the college and is responsible for teaching guidance, supervision, and daily support on the front line of education. It includes: Faculty Office, Academic Affairs Office, Support Office, and several departments under it, responsible for various specific affairs.
According to regulations, the ninth seat on the school committee will be held by a leader from the three major divisions of the administrative department on a rotating basis for one year.
The establishment of the school committee not only reflects the college's focus on front-line education departments, but also reflects the principle of fairness and justice.
On the surface, the administrative department is in a weak position on the school committee and only occupies one seat. However, in fact, during the annual rotation, the administrative department will try its best to win over the other three honorary deans.
As a result, the administrative department can basically compete with the four major colleges in every school committee decision.
This year, the rotating supervisor for the ninth seat is Luan Hanmo, director of the Academic Affairs Office.
At this time, the five school committee members were sitting in high positions. On the right side were Yun Xuezhi from the Wenzi Academy, Ai Bute from the Fazi Academy, and Xia Shangyun from the Wu Zi Academy. The seat of the principal was in the middle, which was vacant at this time. .
Sitting on the left side are Honorary Dean Shang Zhihe and Dean of Academic Affairs Luan Hanmo.
It can be seen from the seats that there is a subtle gap between the administrative department and the four major colleges.
Luan Hanmo, the director of the Academic Affairs Office, is a middle-aged man in his late fifties with sparse hair and a kind face. He rubs his protruding belly with his right hand from time to time.
At this time, Luan Hanmo said with a smile: "How are you, Dean Shang?"
"Fortunately, I am an idle person. Unlike you who work day and night on the affairs of the college, I feel a little ashamed to sit with you." Shang Zhihe said with a smile.
"Oh, Dean Shang said this, but he is humiliating Mr. Luan."
Shang Zhihe was the director of the Academic Affairs Office before he became the honorary dean, and Luan Hanmo was a senior and capable section chief in the faculty office, half a grade behind Shang Zhihe.
The two had a close friendship at that time, so there was a bit of teasing in their words at this time.
Both of them smiled slightly, and Luan Hanmo continued: "Is the principal still in the Imperial Palace?"
"Yes, we are still discussing next year's 'New Era Cup'." Shang Zhihe said in a low voice.
"This competition is held once every ten years. This will be a major event for the entire continent next year. There are indeed too many details that need to be negotiated...Does Dean Shang have any inside information?"
"It's such a grand event, and I'm just waiting around. How could I have inside information? Didn't you see that the principal is leading the event, only Old Yang and Old Man Yu?"
The "Old Yang" and "Old Yu" mentioned by Shang Zhihe are the other two honorary deans Yang Fang and Yu Minghao.
Shang Zhihe was quite dissatisfied that the principal did not take him to participate in the "'New Era Cup' Coordination Meeting".
Luan Hanmo enlightened him at the right time: "That's not because the college also needs someone to take charge. The principal naturally considered it that way and kept you here."
"Haha, let's just take it that way." Shang Zhihe smiled heartily, and any trace of resentment he had before disappeared.
After Shang Zhihe laughed, he continued: "Lao Yang sent me news yesterday that the progress of this coordinating meeting was not very smooth. Whether it is an ancient sect or an emerging academic sect, the Imperial Palace has always monopolized the 'New Era Cup'. Major events have expressed strong dissatisfaction.”
"These signs have been revealed many years ago, but I can't help but think that this 'New Era Cup' is meant to commemorate the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty. For this reason alone, the Imperial City has blocked the mouths of many people." Luan Hanmo curled his lips and said.
The "New Era Cup" that the two people discussed was a once-in-ten-year event in Kyushu Continent. Speaking of which, there is also a history.
The end of the world war, the beginning of the real destruction of the continent, was when the first lord fell, that is, Tang Shi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty at that time.
The occurrence of this incident brought the relationship between the various forces to a freezing point, and all rules and orders became empty talk. Especially the Tang Dynasty, which was red-eyed at the time, desperately began to retaliate.
But the fall of Tang Shi also prompted the birth of a new era.
After Tang Shi's death, his direct disciple Tang Yunshan flew from the south of the mainland to the north just to invite Tuoba Wuji out of seclusion.
It is said that even though Tang Yunshan was seriously injured at that time, he relied on his amazing perseverance to cross the entire continent by himself.
When Tang Yunshan brought the news of Tang Shi's death to Tuoba Wuji, he also died of exhaustion.
It was precisely because Tang Yunshan brought the news of Tang Shi's death to Tuoba Wuji in time that he prompted the latter to come out and finally save the mainland.
Therefore, people also regarded the Tang Yunshan incident as the beginning of a new era. In order to commemorate Tang Yunshan, later generations founded the "New Era Cup".
Although the voices of the two people discussing were low, they could not avoid the crowd. At this time, the attention of several school committee members sitting in the high seats was attracted by the content of the discussion between the two.
"What you said is indeed true. Every time the Imperial Capital Palace prevaricates other forces, but it is said that this coordination meeting did not do so." Shang Zhihe shook his head and said.
"oh?"
What Shang Zhihe said not only surprised Luan Hanmo, but also a few others became extremely interested.
Shang Zhihe did not whet the appetites of others, but directly said: "At this coordination meeting, someone proposed that the 'New Era Cup' should also change the organizer, and the Imperial Capital Palace once again moved out the reason you mentioned. But then This person then suggested that it was true that Tang Yunshan was a direct disciple of Tang Shi, but his contributions benefited the entire continent, and his original intention must have been to save the people of the continent. In this way, if it is only undertaken by the Imperial Capital Family, there will be It will damage the great pattern of the New Era Cup when it was founded."
Luan Hanmo smiled and couldn't help but interjected: "It makes some sense, but it is a bit too high-sounding. I'm afraid it will be difficult to make those old foxes in the Imperial Palace relent."
"But then, this person also put forward a reason that the Imperial Palace cannot refute."
Everyone immediately looked at Shang Zhihe.
"Didn't the Imperial Palace always say that Tang Yunshan was his ancestor of the Tang Dynasty? This person claimed at the coordinating meeting that based on historical research and folk rumors, Tang Yunshan was not a native of the Tang Dynasty, but came to the Tang Dynasty after studying. This statement When Tang Yunshan came out, other forces suddenly realized that there were many rumors about where Tang Yunshan was born, who he was adopted by, where he traveled as a boy, who he fell in love with when he was young, etc. Just thinking about it, you can imagine how lively the meeting was."
"This...isn't this a bit ridiculous?"
"It is indeed ridiculous, but after this commotion, the Imperial Palace can no longer use this as a shield."
"Who suggested it?"
"Who else, only the Rongshan faction, could do such a ridiculous thing."
"It turns out to be the Rongshan Sect of Bianmo, so it makes sense."
Luan Hanmo showed his true appearance, but Yun Xuezhi, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
"It's ridiculous. It's really ridiculous. What you say is based on historical research. I think it's obviously nonsense. How can history allow them to fabricate it like this? How can senior heroes allow them to do such a waste. They dare to say anything for the sake of profit!"
As the dean of the Chinese Academy of Literature, Yun Xuezhi respects history as his most basic principle of life.
However, his indignant speech at this time, instead of attracting support from several people, actually attracted some unclear looks from several people around him.
After hearing this, Shang Zhihe looked a little unhappy. The two of them usually didn't deal with each other very well. At this time, Yun Xuezhi's words and his strange voice made Shang Zhihe always feel like he was criticizing Huai.
"Humph, what Dean Yun said makes sense. Some people are indeed willing to do anything for profit. They have completely forgotten about the way of being a teacher and the responsibility of teaching. They say they are seeking the truth and upholding justice. , in fact, it’s not just to get a piece of the pie.”
If Yun Xuezhi's words before were confusing, then Shang Zhihe's words now clearly meant that he was criticizing Sang and Huai. At this time, he was not referring to what everyone did to Changsun for the benefit of Mine No. 1.
After Shang Zhihe's words, several school committee members present suddenly had unnatural expressions.
Yun Xuezhi was also stunned. What he said before was indeed not aimed at Shang Zhihe, but the two were at odds with each other. He didn't care whether Shang Zhihe would misunderstand.
But the obvious targeting of this fashionable figure made Yun Xuezhi unable to sit still, and immediately reasoned: "Dean Shang, who are you talking about? We adopted the method of public interrogation precisely to seek the truth and uphold justice for our eldest grandson. Besides, isn’t this what you signed and agreed to?”
"Oh, Dean Yun is overly worried. Of course the person I am talking about will be you. As you said, I signed and agreed to this public trial, so you can just think that I am talking about myself."
"You..." Regarding Shang Zhihe's attitude, Yun Xuezhi was about to slap the table and stand up to argue with him.
"Okay, the eldest grandson has entered."
Xia Shangyun, who had not made any waves from beginning to end, suddenly interrupted the two of them.
Changsun pushed open the door of the interrogation hall, and dazzling sunlight overflowed from the crack in the door. Changsun, who had been in the underground interrogation room all day, found it difficult to adapt for a while.
What made it difficult for the eldest grandson to adapt was the solemnity and solemnity in the hall that was as dazzling as the overflowing sunlight.
After the eldest grandson got used to the light, he saw the high platform in the middle. Several school committee members were sitting on the seats in the middle of the high platform. The seats arranged in random order below are also filled with elders and administrative office leaders from various colleges.
The eldest grandson paused for a moment, then walked into the interrogation seat with calm steps.
