Happy Little Scholar

Si Tianjian would stand up and refute His Highness the Crown Prince, which did not go beyond everyone's expectations.

Stargazing, divination, and calendar calculation have always been Si Tianjian's duties. Although His Royal Highness the Prince's words just now are well-founded and vividly demonstrated, even people like them who don't understand astrology can't hear it. Although he can be convinced, this is tantamount to destroying Si Tianjian's brand. To put it more deeply, it is destroying the faith of those who have devoted their lives to this.

However, no one expected that when Si Tianjian stood up, His Highness the Crown Prince did not argue with him. The change happened so quickly, and even... it was confusing.

What's more, although Si Tianjian is old, he has not yet reached the point where he is old and confused. There is such an obvious difference between the two pieces of silver, so he can't admit his mistake, right?

When it comes to matters of faith, this Si Tianjian was still able to neither be humble nor arrogant when facing His Highness the Crown Prince. He looked at his hands and said: "Although "Shang Shu" has not said this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not think that I am. I'm so confused, if His Highness lets go at the same time, the heavy silver will naturally fall to the ground first."

Boom.

Li Xuan let go of his hand, and the two pieces of silver hit the ground, and also hit the old man Si Tianjian's heart.

"this……"

The courtiers who were watching were also in an uproar.

This is unreasonable. Is there any fraud in this?

Si Tianjian unbelievingly picked up the two pieces of silver, weighed the weight, and tried them with his own hands. Then he took out two pieces of different sizes from his arms, tried them again, and murmured: "How could it be possible?" So, how could it be like this..."

Not far away, Prince Ning smiled and said something in Emperor Jing's ear. After Emperor Jing was slightly surprised, a smile appeared on his face, "This child..."

Zeng Zuimo tugged on Li Yi's sleeve and asked curiously: "Why is this?"

Li Yi turned his head and glanced at it, and said: "I can't explain it for a while. When I get home in the evening, I will explain it to you slowly."

"Cough!" Not far behind the two of them, Master Jing Zhaoyin Zeng coughed heavily.

An official next to him asked doubtfully: "Master Zeng, are you feeling unwell?"

Zeng Shichun waved his hand, "I got a bit cold yesterday, it's okay, it's okay..."

On the other side, Si Tianjian stood there in a daze, forgetting to pick up the silver that fell on the ground.

After hearing the comments coming from around him, he finally came to his senses, suppressed the shock and doubts in his heart, and immediately said: "These two things cannot be confused. What I am talking about is the solar eclipse and the Lunar eclipse, what you just said is a complete nonsense, a complete nonsense..."

Li Xuan politely bowed his hands and said, "Since Si Tianjian thinks what I just said is nonsense, you might as well point out where I went wrong. Li Xuan is all ears."

His Highness the Crown Prince's attitude made all the courtiers nod their heads. This is the manner and demeanor that a royal family should have. It is really rare for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to maintain this state of mind even when accepting accusations. Even so, looking at this Si Tianjian, with such an attitude, he immediately fell down.

"You, you are wrong..."

Si Tianjian opened his mouth, but only said these few words.

He only knew that His Highness the Crown Prince must be wrong and must be wrong, but he couldn't tell where he was wrong.

What he just said was so reasonable and well-founded, and his demonstration was so vivid and clear. Where could he make any mistakes?

After he opened his mouth several times, he waved his hand and said loudly: "It's a bunch of nonsense, it's a bunch of nonsense..."

Li Xuan still asked politely: "Since it is nonsense, please tell Si Tianjian, where is the nonsense?"

"You..., in short..., you are full of nonsense!"

"My lord, you are being unreasonable..."

It wasn't just Li Xuan who thought he was unreasonable, most of the people present thought so.

Even if His Highness the Crown Prince is wrong, as long as Si Tianjian gives a basis like what he just said, everyone will have their own judgment in their minds. But it is obvious that His Highness the Crown Prince has always been justified and humble and polite. The Tianjian only understands the words "a bunch of nonsense". He is obviously a little confused...

The smile on Li Xuan's face disappeared. He looked at the old man and said coldly: "I'm trying to reason with you. If you continue to be so messy, our Academy of Sciences and the Prince's Mansion are not so easy to bully."

When the old man looked at him like this, his body trembled, but he suddenly laughed wildly and said: "I figured it out. You just said that the lunar eclipse is the shadow cast by the earth on the moon. So, the shadow of the earth on the moon The shadow should be extremely square, why is it curved? "

As soon as these words came out, the place suddenly became silent again.

After thinking for a while, many people nodded slightly. What Si Tianjian said was very reasonable. If His Highness the Crown Prince could not explain it, then his judgment just now would be very questionable.

Li Xuan showed a thoughtful look on his face, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense..."

A smile appeared on Si Tianjian's face: "You also admit that you are talking nonsense!"

Li Xuan thought for a while and said: "Thanks to Si Tianjian for reminding me, since the sun is round, the moon is round, even Yinghuo is round, and all the stars seen with this object are round, then why, Tongzai In the starry sky, our earth can’t be round?”

He clapped his hands suddenly, and suddenly realized: "Yes, no wonder, no wonder the shadow of the earth on the moon is arc-shaped, no wonder you can see far when you climb high, no wonder the horizon you see when standing on the seashore is also arc-shaped, no wonder the big ship coming from the sea always sees the mast first before the hull..., maybe, the earth under our feet is also a big ball?"

Si Tianjian stood in place, echoing the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his mind, and then there was a buzzing sound.

"Hehe, nonsense, nonsense..."

"Demon words confuse the public, this is demon words to confuse the public!"

"Demon star, it turns out you are the demon star, demon star..."

...

Li Xuan looked at Si Tianjian who looked like a madman on the opposite side, waved his hand, and said: "Take this adult down to rest..."

No one cared about the crazy Si Tianjian anymore. In their minds, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just said was repeated over and over again.

Si Tianjian's words just now not only made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly enlightened, but also made them think deeply.

During the lunar eclipse, the shadow of the earth; the sails coming from the sea; if the earth is flat, why do we need to climb high to see far; the sun, the moon, Mars...

Why have they never thought about these things? Your Highness, Your Highness is really quick-witted...

In the crowd, Cui Qingze's face can no longer be described as gloomy.

And Li Xuan clapped his hands and continued to explain.

"After talking about solar and lunar eclipses, let's talk about Mars guarding the Heart. What is going on? As you all saw just now, there is nothing around Mars. There is not much difference between using this object to see the Heart and using our eyes to see it. This is because the Heart is so far away from us, just like two things that are staggered in front and behind. When we stand far away and look at them, we will also think that they are very close..."

"The Heart is so far away from us that what we see is five hundred..."

"Ahem!"

Li Xuan turned his head and looked at Li Yi, with disappointment on his face. He turned back and said, "In short, Mars and the Heart will never meet. Therefore, the so-called Mars guarding the Heart and the saying that the disaster star hits the Heart are nonsense. Anyone who uses this to slander the royal family has ill intentions..."

He finally sighed and said, "Compared with the vast starry sky, we are so small. Who knows that when we When you look up at the starry sky, what you see is just the passing of the starry sky..."

"Cough! Cough!"

Li Yi covered his mouth and coughed twice. The goddess of Luoshui beside him asked with concern: "What's wrong, are you not feeling well? Or should we go back early?"

The arrogant loli was also nervous: "Ah, sir, you are not feeling well. I will ask my father to summon the imperial physician..."

Li Yi held her hand tightly and did not let her run away. He shook his head and said: "It's okay, just a little itchy in the throat, it's fine now..."

A trace of pain appeared on the face of the arrogant loli. She looked up at Li Yi pitifully and whispered: "Sir, you scratched me so painful..."

"Ah, sorry, sorry..."

Li Yi hurriedly let go of her hand. On the other side, Li Xuan had finished his popular science activities. He pointed to the telescope beside him and said with a smile: "Today's stargazing meeting ends here. If anyone wants to see the full picture of Mars again, please feel free..."

As soon as the voice fell, the crowd surged in a certain direction.
