In this article, we show that the categorical action of the shifted $q=0$ affine algebra can be used to construct (or induce) t-structures on the weight categories. The main idea is to interpret the exceptional collection constructed by Kapranov as convolution of Fourier-Mukai kernels in the categorical action via using the Borel-Weil-Bott theorem. In particular, when the categories are the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on Grassmannians. The t-structure we obtain is precisely the exotic t-structure defined by Bezrukavnikov of the exceptional collections given by Kapranov. As an application, we calculate the matrix coefficients for generators of the shifted $q=0$ affine algebra on the basis given by Kapranov exceptional collections.
