The paranoid prince plays me every day

Wen Sui didn't notice Jiang Shixue's change, but he also had some subtle intuitions in his heart, which made him a little uncomfortable.

After he got home, Wen Changming called him to him, coughed a few times, and talked about the previous topic again, "You are not young anymore, here, take a look at this."

As Wen Changming said, he threw out a picture album, which was full of portraits of famous ladies.

Wen Sui took the album, and as soon as he opened it, he read it with gusto.

Seeing him like this, Wen Changming knew there was something going on, so he waited patiently, and finally heard Wen Sui say, "Father, no, I don't like these."

Wen Changming was stunned, "I don't like any of them? Then which one do you like?"

Wen Sui thought for a while and said, "I want that kind of heroic sister."

Wen Changming frowned, "Heroic and handsome, do you still want a sister?"

Wen Sui nodded, and said, "Aren't I like you? I want a daughter-in-law like Mommy who can control me."

When Wen Changming heard it, he said melancholy: "Your mother... There are very few women like this."

Wen Sui said, "Yes, my son doesn't want to let it go, so let's talk."

This is not Wen Sui's prevarication, he also thought this way in his previous life, that's why he was still unmarried at that age, not only unmarried, but also never served as a concubine.

Thinking about it now, even though he was bored with his mother when he was young, in his heart he was extremely envious of the relationship between Wen Changming and Li Yue, so he didn't change his original intention.

After hearing Wen Sui's reason, Wen Changming didn't urge the marriage anymore, but he thought of something again and said to Wen Sui: "You don't go out these days, I always feel that Yanjing is not peaceful recently."

Wen Sui was surprised and asked, "Why?"

Wen Changming said: "The queen mother and concubine of Zhennan passed away. The king of Zhennan took this opportunity to ask for an order to return to Beijing. It is said that he brought hundreds of elite soldiers with him."

Wen Sui understood what he meant, and said, "A few hundred? Not much."

Wen Changming said: "It's just on the surface. Who knows how much he brought in private. There are rumors that the king of Zhennan wants to rebel."

Wen Sui didn't take it seriously, "The rumors are getting more and more exaggerated. He and His Majesty are brothers, and there is no reason to rebel. Moreover, the imperial guards are not vegetarian."

Wen Changming said: "This is indeed the truth, but it is better to be careful at this time."

Wen Sui readily agreed.

But Wen Sui has always been used to doing whatever he wants, a promise is a promise, and it is impossible to obey.He agreed with his front foot, and went out with his back foot.

He had a lot of friends in his previous life, but the quality was not high. In this life, he didn’t have many friends, but he was very satisfied, because compared to those friends in his previous life, his friend was very smart. He was Xie Yuan from last year. He came to Beijing to prepare for the exam, and his name was Shen Lan. .

His family background should be good, at least from the way he talks, it can be seen that he is educated. Wen Sui is very comfortable chatting with him.

Although running around the National Teacher's Mansion and Jiang Shixue, Wen Sui did not abandon his life. He knew very well that he was here to provide for the elderly, and all his efforts were for a more comfortable life in the future.

Although he wasn't very smart, Wen Sui was extraordinarily transparent in this kind of place.

The weather is gradually getting hotter, and there are fewer people walking on the street, and the small vendors have also set up shelves to block the sun, sitting lazily on the bottom to rest.

Wen Sui met Shen Lan and went to a restaurant with him for a small gathering.

Wen Sui and Shen Lan complained: "Damn, there are not many people now, there are vegetation everywhere, and the weather is still so hot."

Shen Lan asked casually: "What does the weather have to do with the number of people?"

Wen Sui said: "You don't understand this. The gas exhaled by people will rise to the sky, and the heat from the sun cannot be dissipated, so our place is getting hotter and hotter. But we have a small population now. The air will also be absorbed by the flowers and trees, logically, it shouldn’t be so hot.”

Shen Lan: "..."

Shen Lan said: "What brother Wen said, I have never heard of it before."

"Are you talking nonsense" expression on his face.

Wen Sui also showed an expression of "you can't understand what you said so clearly, you stick", "It's normal that you have never heard of it before, I made up nonsense."

Shen Lan: "..."

Wen Sui wanted to show off, and said, "Do you think the land under our feet is round or square?"

Shen Lan frowned slightly, and said: "The sky is round and the earth is round, which is the saying put forward in the Yin-Yang chapter of "Book of Changes". Yes, it is hard to say whether the earth is square or not. Twelve earthly branches, ten heavenly stems, four hexagrams, 24 directions, are the entire Zhoutian. , Qinruo Haotian, the calendar resembles the sun, the moon and the stars, respect and teach people. Then Xihe, Xizhong, Hezhong, and Uncle were ordered to go to the four directions.' From this point of view, the land should be square, but the "Book of Rites of the Great Dai" Zeng Zi said in Zeng Zi's "Tianyuan": "If the sky is round and the place is round, the four corners cannot be hidden."... In short, there have been many debates about the saying that the sky is round and the earth is round, and no one can argue. ①"

Wen Sui asked, "Then do you think the earth is round or square?"

Shen Lan said, "I think it's Fang."

Wen Sui said, "Wrong, it's actually round."

Shen Lan didn't believe it, "How do you know it's round?"

Wen Sui said convincingly: "It is round. In the past, there was a man who had been heading east without turning a corner. After walking for 40 years, he returned to the original point. Doesn't this mean that the earth is round?"

Shen Lan said: "I have never heard of such a feat before."

Wen Sui said: "If you can hear it, it is a great book like Shan Hai Jing. If you haven't heard it, it doesn't mean that no one does this kind of thing."

Shen Lan disagreed, "You always just talk about it without any evidence. If you say what you say, then you are a god."

Wen Sui snorted and said, "You want evidence, I have it, but I can't give it to you."

Shen Lan asked: "Why?"

Wen Sui said, "Because it's a secret."

Shen Lan was speechless, and changed the subject: "Drink."

As Shen Lan said, she poured a glass for Wen Sui, and just as Wen Sui was about to pick up the glass, he heard a familiar voice behind him, "Excuse me, I just listened to your chat and found it interesting, can we have a drink together?" A cup, make a friend?"

Wen Sui turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng was dressed in a simple robe with no distinctive features. Although there was a servant behind him, he was also dusty. He looked like an ordinary person. His appearance seemed to be covered up. He was not as handsome as before. His skin was a little dark, but Does not hide his outstanding appearance.

This is Jiang Sheng's usual tactic, first to befriend him as a peer, and then reveal his identity later, which will always move those advisers who follow him to a mess, and sincerely work for him.

Wen Sui was originally optimistic about Jiang Sheng, so it was no surprise that he quickly invited him to take a seat, and then glanced at Shen Lan, thinking that he probably had a crush on Shen Lan and had a good eye.

Jiang Sheng's dark eyes rolled around Wen Sui's body, and after notifying each other's names, he asked with a smile: "Little brother Wen, you just said that there is evidence to prove that the earth is round, but is it true?"

Wen Sui was a little nervous at this time. After all, he was no more confident than his previous fake identity. He cleared his throat and said embarrassedly: "Fake, I just said that to overwhelm him."

When Shen Lan heard this, she almost rolled her eyes.

Jiang Sheng asked curiously: "Then why are you so sure that you are round? If your words spread, those yin and yang families will criticize you severely."

Wen Sui picked up a glass of water, poured it out, and the water in it immediately flowed down and landed on the table, "Have you ever wondered why when I pour water, the water flows down instead of up?"

Shen Lan said: "Is there any need to think about it? People go to high places and water flows to low places. This is common sense."

Wen Sui said: "It's common sense, don't you think at all? Let me tell you, the water will flow down because of 'gravity'. The ground we are on is a huge sphere, and its weight is very heavy, so It will attract things that weigh less than him to approach him, which is why the water flows down, because the weight of water is much lighter than that of a sphere.②”

Shen Lan had an expression of "you're crazy", "What are you talking about?"

Wen Sui sighed: "Look, that's why I don't want to say it, because you don't understand."

Jiang Sheng was thoughtful, "I have never seen any ancient books record your principles."

Wen Sui said with a serious face: "Because the truth is always in the hands of a few people, I am that 'minority'."

Jiang Sheng asked again: "If it is true as you said, if gravity fails, can we fly into the sky like birds?"

Wen Sui looked at Jiang Sheng approvingly. He felt that Jiang Sheng was very charismatic. He knew that he didn't believe what he said, but he wouldn't just deny it blindly. People who are very comfortable, "If gravity fails, people will lose the traction of gravity, which is not good. Our bodies are held together by gravity. If there is no gravity, our bodies will fall apart."

Although Shen Lan felt that Wen Sui was going crazy, she had a vague feeling that what he said seemed to be able to justify itself.

Wen Sui continued: "Look, this is why the earth is round, because the place we live in is a huge ball, the surface is bound by gravity, so it can function normally. And have you ever thought about why the sun is round? Does it rise from the east every day?"

Shen Lan said: "Day is yang, night is yin, one yin and one yang are called Tao, "Su Wen" said: Yin and Yang, the way of heaven and earth, the discipline of all things, the parents of changes, the origin of life and death, the origin of gods Mansion also. ③The question you asked is like asking why your mother gave birth to you. The principles of heaven and earth are laws, so there are so many reasons.”

Wen Sui kind of likes the feeling of breaking other people's worldview, "nonono."

He took out a ball, but no one knew where he got it out from. A grown man slapped him so much that he took it out as soon as he said it.

Wen Sui gestured at the ball, and then took out another ball, "Look, for example, this big ball is our sun, and this small ball is our earth, and the earth will rotate by itself. It is our twelve hours a day, you see, the direction of rotation is from west to east, so the sun always comes out from the east.”

Jiang Sheng showed a strange expression, and Shen Lan asked back: "Then how can you prove what you said? On the contrary, the theory of yin and yang has been verified by dozens of generations of people, and there are many works. Even medical skills can hardly escape the yin and yang and five elements. "

Wen Sui tucked the ball into his sleeve, and the rascal said: "There is no way to prove it. It is said that the truth is only in the hands of a few people. It is normal if you don't believe it. If you believe it, is it still called the truth?"

Shen Lan complained: "Brother Wen's words are quite like the world is drunk and I am alone."

Wen Sui had an expression of "the illiterate has been rescued", and said happily, "Yes, yes, that's what it means."

Shen Lan: "..."

Shen Lan felt that Wen Sui was making nonsense, although he seemed to be able to justify it, but these were too wild and unconstrained, he could not believe it, but he glanced at Jiang Sheng, and saw that he seemed to believe him, showing a look of admiration towards Wen Sui, he couldn't help reminding: " Brother, since he is all nonsense, you can't believe it."

Jiang Sheng said with a smile: "I think that although I have never heard of what he said before, but after careful inspection, it seems to be impeccable. Although it is impossible to verify that what he said is right, it is also impossible to verify that what he said is wrong. .”

He said with emotion: "Ordinary people like us think that demons, gods and ghosts only exist in story books, so how can we think that there are really gods in this world."

Shen Lan looked at Jiang Sheng with strange eyes, "Brother, do you think there are ghosts and gods in this world?"

Jiang Sheng said with a smile: "It is true that there are gods three feet above the head."

Although in the feudal era, there are still a large number of scholars who do not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods. The same is true for Shen Lan. In his opinion, if there are gods in this world, there will not be so many wicked people who can live a long life, and good people will have more luck. Well, there's no reason for that.Many of his classmates like to write stories about monsters, gods and ghosts. If they believe in it, they dare not smear it at will. If they don't believe it, they will imagine boldly to satisfy themselves.

So Shen Lan felt that the two people in front of him were really strange people. He didn't say anything, but Jiang Sheng deliberately wooed Wen Sui, and deliberately revealed some inside stories that only the royal family knew, "Have you all heard of our national teacher?"

Wen Sui realized what he wanted to say, and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

Shen Lan nodded, "Yes, I heard that he watched the sky at night and saw several times of drought and floods, which made the local preparations and saved the people from suffering."

Jiang Sheng said: "The national teacher's ability is more than that. I heard that he can fly into the sky, hide from the ground, and can see the past and future of people. Ordinary people have no secrets in front of him."

Shen Lan said indifferently: "I'm afraid this is just three people becoming tigers."

Jiang Sheng asked Wen Sui: "Do you believe it?"

Wen Sui said hesitantly, "I...of course I believe it."

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "Why?"

Shen Lan also noticed that Jiang Sheng seemed to favor Wen Sui, so he looked at Wen Sui and became quiet.

Wen Sui said: "Because the world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders, and it's normal to have gods."

Jiang Sheng laughed, "You suit me very well."

He took out the token from his waist and stuffed it into Wen Sui's hand, "When you come to Huaiwang Mansion tomorrow, I have something to say to you, and I will wait for you."

After finishing speaking, he continued, "It's getting late, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

After speaking, he smiled at Wen Sui, got up and left.

Wen Sui held the token dully, turned to look at Shen Lan, "He, he wants me??"

Shen Lan looked at the badge in his hand, she became dumb, and said after a while: "This is King Huai's waist card, he is probably King Huai, I heard that King Huai is thirsty for knowledge and open-minded, but it is true .”

He said again: "But it's a pity, the current crown prince is the sixth prince, and the sixth prince is far away from King Huai."

Wen Sui felt a little weird when he heard such words at first, and subconsciously wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, but agreed: "Indeed, the prince sent King Huai far away, if King Huai can succeed, it would be wise to think about it." monarch."

Shen Lan adjusted her mentality, and instead comforted her: "This is unspeakable. If it is spread, even if you are a young master, you can't afford to go around. And if King Huai is more peaceful and acts as the prince's right-hand man, you, as King Huai The disciples will definitely rise to the top."

Wen Sui's scheming is really not deep, and he said directly: "I thought I was talking nonsense, he should not have a good impression of me, and he would like you."

Shen Lan also knew that Wen Sui was a person, so she said frankly: "Although you always say nonsense that seems to be nonsense, you are very bold and self-contained. There are many visitors to Huai Wang's mansion like me. Brilliant, it looks like you are normal."

However, Wen Sui didn't feel happy. He suddenly realized that what he said was too bold and novel, and it was really suspicious. If Jiang Sheng kept it in his heart and went to the national teacher for verification, what should he say?

Trouble, Wen Sui thought, he shouldn't be pretentious, his true identity should not be exposed in any way, if it is exposed, the god will fall into the mortal world and become a mortal with weaknesses and can be manipulated.

The more I think about it, the more troublesome I feel, so I just don't want to.

The next day, Wen Sui still went to Prince Huai's Mansion.

During this day, Jiang Sheng had probably found out Wen Sui's identity, so upon meeting him, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that little brother Wen is actually the son of Pingyang Houfu, no wonder his temperament is extraordinary."

Wen Sui also said: "I didn't expect you to be King Huai. If you have offended me, please forgive me, His Highness King Huai."

Jiang Sheng thought Wen Sui was very interesting. Ordinary people knew his identity, not to mention fearful, at least they would be overly cautious, but this one in front of him even showed respect in his eyes, or...too calm.

This kind of contrast is far from what Jiang Sheng thought, but it was exactly what he wanted. He smiled and said: "There is no need to be too polite. Yesterday I said that I wanted to make friends with you. Then we are friends. Since we are friends, why should we obey the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers?"

Wen Sui: "How can this mess up the etiquette?"

Jiang Sheng found that even when he said such words, Wen Sui was only a little superficially panicked, which made Jiang Sheng a little surprised, and he looked at Wen Sui differently. He smiled and said: "Why not, and I heard what you said Those words, I thought you didn't care much about etiquette."

Wen Sui said with a sneer: "That's all my nonsense. To be honest, Your Highness, I have never been to an academy, and I don't like reading. I am half illiterate."

Jiang Sheng was surprised: "Really?"

Wen Sui said, "Naturally it is true."

Jiang Sheng was even more appreciative, "If what you said is true, it further shows that you are not bound by common sense, and you are a unique and transcendent talent."

Wen Sui: Huh?

He was greatly surprised, "Your Highness, Your Highness really think so?"

Jiang Sheng said, "Naturally."

It was only then that Wen Sui looked at Jiang Sheng. When he was a national teacher, he had contact with Jiang Sheng many times, but he never got to know Jiang Sheng seriously. At this time, he really felt the charm of Jiang Sheng's personality. He was so fresh and unaffected!Even a second-generation ancestor looks at him differently!

In fact, as a national teacher, he has heard a lot of praise, but he is always sober. He still understands the truth that it is easy to go from simplicity to extravagance, and it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, so he never feels that the image of the national teacher is his true self. It looks like, after all, there will always be a day when the points will run out.

With his current status, although he has a good-looking skin, he is really mediocre. He has not made any achievements in talent and learning, and he is invisible to everyone. Jiang Sheng discovered his pearl! ! !

Wen Sui was so moved that he almost wanted to reach out to shake Jiang Sheng's hand, but just as he stretched it out, he remembered the identities of the two of them, and quickly retracted it, even a little shy, "Your Highness praises you."

Seeing his sincere appearance this time, Jiang Sheng was a little dumbfounded, and felt strange in his heart, as the young prince of Pingyang Mansion, he would be moved by a few compliments?

It's too easy to understand, Jiang Sheng thought.

Jiang Sheng's smile remained unchanged, and he said: "What I'm talking about is what I think in my heart. The prince really makes me feel transcendent, like a rare pearl, shining brightly and attracting attention."

Wen Sui wasn't sure if this was Jiang Sheng's usual trick of recruiting talented people, but let alone, it was really comforting. He felt comfortable all over his body, and his heart was surging. With this sentence, I will die without regret!"

Jiang Sheng also laughed heartily, and the two chatted for a while, Wen Sui felt more and more that Jiang Sheng was good, so he had already regarded Jiang Sheng as his own, and said with all his heart: "If there is anything in the future, Your Highness If you need my help, I will go through fire and water, and I will do my best!"

When Jiang Sheng heard this, he smiled and said, "Xiao Shizi, I really want to ask you for help."

Wen Sui asked, "Please tell me, Your Highness."

Jiang Sheng said: "I want to invite the young prince to enter the National Teacher's Mansion."

Wen Sui: "Huh?"

Wen Sui was stunned, and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Jiang Sheng said with a smile: "Little Shizi has novel ideas and transcends the common world. The national teacher will probably like you very much."

Wen Sui paused, and after a while, he asked, "Your Highness wants me to curry favor with the national teacher?"

Jiang Sheng said: "The difference between Xiaoshizi's words is not to please, but to ask Xiaoshizi to enshrine the national teacher. Xiaoshizi may have never seen the national teacher, but I often see him. He is powerful and unfathomable. He is a real teacher. God, we mortals, if we want to serve him, we will never be able to achieve it, but when I saw the little prince, I had a premonition that you and the national teacher will hit it off right away."

Wen Sui: "...then you are not sure about your premonition."

Jiang Sheng looked at him, "Why?"

Wen Sui wiped his face, thinking because I am the national teacher.

On the face, he smiled shyly: "My premonition is more accurate. I have a premonition that the national teacher and I are not compatible."

Jiang Sheng: "..."

The author has something to say:

I wrote it well, went to eat melons, and made up another five thousand during the day
