Si Tianjian will stand up to refute His Royal Highness, as expected by everyone.
Observing the stars, divination, and calculating the calendar have always been the duties of the Sitian Supervisor. Although His Royal Highness's words just now are well-founded, the demonstration is also vivid. I can be convinced, but this is tantamount to smashing the signboard of Si Tianjian. In a deeper sense, it is destroying the faith of those who have devoted their lives to it.
However, no one expected that when Si Tianjian stood up, His Royal Highness Shi Zi did not argue with him, and the change was so fast, even a little... confusing.
What's more, although Si Tianjian is old, he has not yet reached the stage of being confused. The difference between the two pieces of silver is so obvious, it is impossible to admit his mistake, right
When it comes to the issue of belief, this Si Tianjian is still able to be neither humble nor overbearing when facing His Royal Highness. He looked at his two hands and said: "Although the "Shang Shu" did not mention it, His Royal Highness should not think that the old man I am so confused, if His Highness lets go at the same time, the heavy silver will fall to the ground first."
Boom.
Li Xuan let go of his hand, and the two pieces of silver fell on the ground, and also on the heart of the old Si Tianjian.
"this… "
The courtiers watching were also in an uproar.
This is unreasonable, is there any fraud in it
Si Tianjian picked up the two pieces of silver in disbelief, weighed them, tried it with his own hands, took out two pieces of different sizes from his bosom, tried it again, and muttered: "How could it be so?" So, how could it be so... "
Not far away, King Ning smiled and said a few words 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?"
Li Yi glanced over his head and said, "I can't explain clearly for a while, and I will explain it to you slowly when I get home at night."
"Cough!" Not far behind the two, Master Jing Zhaoyin Zeng coughed heavily.
An official beside him asked doubtfully, "Master Zeng, are you feeling unwell?"
Zeng Shichun waved his hand, "Yesterday I suffered some wind and cold, 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.
Hearing the voices of discussion from around, after finally recovering, he suppressed the shock and doubts in his heart, and immediately said: "These two things should not be confused at all. What the old man said is that the solar eclipse and the Lunar eclipse, what you just said is a piece of nonsense, a piece of nonsense..."
Li Xuan cupped his hands politely, and said, "Since Si Tianjian thinks what I just said is nonsense, then you might as well point out where I am wrong, and Li Xuan is all ears."
The attitude of His Royal Highness made all the courtiers nod their heads one after another. This is the demeanor and demeanor that the royal family should have. Even when accepting criticism, it is really rare to be able to maintain this state of mind. His Royal Highness Even so, looking at this Si Tianjian, with such an attitude, he immediately fell into a inferior position.
"You, your fault is..."
Si Tianjian opened his mouth, but only said these few words.
He only knew that His Royal Highness must be wrong, and he must be wrong, but he couldn't tell where he was wrong.
What he said just now was so well-founded, and the demonstration was so vivid and clear at a glance. Where could he find any mistakes
After opening his mouth a few times, he waved his hand and said loudly: "It's nonsense, it's nonsense..."
Li Xuan still asked very politely: "Since it's nonsense, please tell Si Tianjian, where is the nonsense?"
"You..., anyway..., you're talking nonsense!"
"My lord, you are a little unreasonable..."
It's not just Li Xuan who thinks he's unreasonable, most of the people present think so.
Even if His Royal Highness is wrong, but what is wrong, as long as Si Tianjian gives a basis like he did just now, everyone will have their own judgments in their hearts, but it is obvious that His Royal Highness has always been well-founded, and he is humble and polite. Tianjian only understands the four words "a bunch of nonsense", which is obviously a bit of nonsense...
The smile on Li Xuan's face was gone. Looking at the old man, he said coldly: "I'm reasoning with you. If you keep messing around like this, my Academy of Sciences and Shizifu will not be so easy to bully."
After being stared at by him, the old man trembled, but suddenly laughed wildly and said: "I figured it out, you said just now, you just said that the lunar eclipse is the shadow cast by the earth on the moon, then, the earth's shadow on the moon The shadow should be extremely square, why is it curved!"
As soon as these words came out, the field suddenly became silent again.
Many people nodded slightly after thinking about it for a while. What Si Tianjian said made a lot of sense. If His Royal Highness could not explain it, then his conclusion just now is 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's reminder, since the sun is round, the moon is round, and even Yinghuo is round, and all the stars seen with this object are round, then why, together In the starry sky, our earth cannot be round?"
He clapped his hands suddenly, and suddenly realized: "Yes, no wonder, no wonder the shadow of the earth on the moon is curved, no wonder you can only look far when you climb high, no wonder the sky is also curved when you stand by the sea, no wonder you can see it from the sea When approaching a big ship, you always see the mast before you can see the hull... Maybe, the ground under our feet is also a big ball?"
Si Tianjian stood on the spot, His Highness Shizi's words echoed in his mind, and then there was a buzzing.
"Hehe, it's nonsense, it's nonsense..."
"Bewitching words to confuse the crowd, this is a lie to confuse the crowd!"
"Demon star, so you are the demon star, demon star..."
…
Li Xuan looked at Si Tianjian, who was looking crazy, waved his hand, and said, "Take this lord down to rest..."
No one cared about the crazy Si Tianjian anymore. In their minds, what His Royal Highness said just now was over and over again.
What Si Tianjian said just now not only enlightened His Royal Highness, but also made them think deeply.
During a lunar eclipse, the shadow of the earth; the sails of a ship sailing from the sea; if the earth is flat, there is no need to climb high; the sun, the moon, the shadows...
Why have they never thought about these things, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is really quick thinking...
Among the crowd, Cui Qingze's complexion could no longer be described as gloomy.
And Li Xuan clapped his hands and continued to explain.
"After talking about the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse, let's talk about Yinghuo Shouxin. What's going on... Everyone has seen it just now. There is nothing around Yinghuo. Use this thing to see the heart, and use it When we look at it with our eyes, there is not much difference. This is because the heart is too far away from us, just like two things that are staggered back and forth. When we look at it from a distance, we will think They are very close…”
"The heart is so far away from us that what we see is five hundred..."
"cough!"
Li Xuan turned his head, looked at Li Yi, with a look of disappointment on his face, and then turned back and said: "In short, Yinghuo and Xinsu will never meet, so the so-called Yinghuo guards the heart, and the disaster star rushes." It is nonsense to talk about Xinsu, but anyone who uses it to slander the royal family has ulterior motives... "
He finally sighed, and said: "Compared to the vast starry sky, we are so small, and who knows that when we look up at the starry sky, what we see is just the past of the starry sky..."
"Cough! Cough!"
Li Yi covered his mouth and coughed twice, and the Goddess Luoshui beside him asked with concern: "What's the matter, are you uncomfortable, why don't we go back earlier?"
Tsundere Lolita also had a nervous expression on her face: "Ah, sir, I'm not feeling well, I'll ask my father to announce the imperial physician..."
Li Yi held her hand tightly, not letting her run away, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that my throat is a little itchy, it's fine now..."
There was a trace of pain on Tsundere Lolita's face, she looked up at Li Yi pitifully, and whispered: "Sir, the person you caught hurts so much..."
"Ah, sorry, sorry..."
Li Yi hastily let go of her hand. On the other side, Li Xuan had finished his science popularization activities, pointed to the telescope at the side, and said with a smile: "Today's stargazing will end here, if anyone wants to watch it again See the whole picture of Yinghuo, please feel free..."
As soon as the voice fell, the crowd moved towards a certain direction and rushed away.
