Mei Changsu did not have any flaws in front of Prince Jing . For example, in the secret passage, Feiliu said that his nickname was "Buffalo"; for example, the book "Xiang Di Ji" made Mei Changsu nervous and Jing Fei looked melancholy; and Mei Changsu's habit of poking things with his fingers when thinking about problems.
These flaws were all obvious, but Prince Jing just didn’t recognize Mei Changsu.
Compared to Prince Jing, Princess Nihuang was much smarter. With only a few suspicious signs, she was sure that the person in front of her was her Lin Shu brother.
Prince Jing is too stupid and not as smart as Nihuang , so he didn’t recognize it?
Of course not. Prince Jing did not recognize Mei Changsu, either because of Prince Jing or because Mei Changsu did it deliberately. But Prince Jing's own reasons were "secondary reasons", and the main reason was because Mei Changsu was too good at "pretending".
Prince Jing was biased against counselors
Prince Jing had doubts about Mei Changsu’s identity, but every time he doubted it, he did not think deeper. Because Mei Changsu's current identity is a "strategist".
The word "counselor", in the eyes of King Jing, who would rather bend than bend, means a person who plays tricks and even uses unscrupulous means.
When Prince Jing and Mei Changsu talked for the first time in Xuelu, Prince Jing told Mei Changsu very clearly: "I don't like people who are scheming. Even if you help me ascend to the throne in the future, you may not get much honor!"
Prince Jing made no secret of his disgust for "advisers". But if he wants to embark on the road of "seizing the legitimate son", he must have the help of advisers, so he chooses to cooperate with Mei Changsu.
Although Mei Changsu used his resourcefulness to rescue Tingsheng and proved his ability to King Jing, he did not win the favor of King Jing.
To make matters worse, Prince Jing soon misunderstood Mei Changsu and became even more disgusted with Mei Changsu as a "strategist".
Yue Guifei and the prince, in order to gain Nihuang's power, Yue Guifei actually tricked Princess Nihuang into drinking a wine called "Qingsi Rao", which has an aphrodisiac effect.
Fortunately, Prince Jing arrived in time and Concubine Yue's treacherous plan did not succeed.
Prince Jing thought that this was Mei Changsu's arrangement. He thought that Mei Changsu had designed it specifically so that Princess Nihuang would be grateful to him and stand on his side when winning the title of heir in the future. He angrily said to Mei Changsu:
"The princess is not those in the court who are addicted to the struggle for power. It was she who fought bloody battles on the battlefield to keep you from fighting in this prosperous imperial capital. In my future cooperation with you, I will not allow you to treat such people as pawns and manipulate them at will." , Sacrifice at will, otherwise, I, Jamel Xiao, , will not be able to achieve great things with my husband. "
King Jing's intentions are good, but the more he is filled with righteous indignation, the more he becomes dirty.
Prince Jing did not target Mei Changsu intentionally. He had a long-standing prejudice and dislike for counselors. He said to Mei Changsu:
"I have seen many counselors, and I have seen the most insidious and shameless things they did. Even the strongest people cannot resist the cold arrows shot by these people. My brother and my best friend all died in such a conspiracy. I will never let them see me." , and became an unscrupulous person like that."
Because his most respected brother and his best friend all left this world because of the conspiracy of the "counselor", and they were still charged with "treason" after their death. Prince Jing hated all those who played tricks.
Prince Jing’s hatred for the counselor is understandable, but it is precisely because of this hatred that he blinded his eyes and made him dare not associate the man in front of him with Lin Shu from before.
What kind of person is Lin Shu? Lin Shu was a passionate man like him. He always cared about his family and country. He was a brave and courageous man who fought on the battlefield and disdained the company of those who fought with each other.
Therefore, even if Prince Jing had doubts about Mei Changsu, he would not associate Mei Changsu with Lin Shu.
Mei Changsu's "pretend"
Prince Jing did not recognize Mei Changsu's identity. In addition to his own prejudice against "counselors", there was also Mei Changsu's "pretend".
The "pretending" mentioned here is Mei Changsu's own concealment. Because he hid his emotions and turned himself into a "strategist" who only cared about "results" and had no emotions in front of Prince Jing, he successfully avoided Prince Jing's suspicion of his identity.
The first time she "pretended"
The time Princess Nihuang was plotted by Concubine Yue in Zhaoren Palace, Prince Jing came to Mei Changsu angrily to settle the score. Mei Changsu had no intention of explaining, not even a word of concern for the princess. He only said: "Isn't this matter settled?"
did not have any emotion, as if the people involved were not important at all, as long as the result was good for him and Prince Jing. Mei Changsu's attitude made Prince Jing very angry, and he angrily "set rules" with him.
Is Mei Changsu really not worried?
When he learned from Yujin that Yujin was going to play polo with Liao Tingjie later, he realized that he had guessed wrong. It was Concubine Yue who wanted to kill the princess, not the queen. It wasn't until Commander Meng came over that he calmed down.
After that, he made all arrangements in a short time and successfully rescued the princess and Prince Jing.
But Mei Changsu never mentioned a word of this to Prince Jing.
After "pretending" for the second time
Xie Yu was arrested and imprisoned, Mei Changsu went to "visit" him. Of course, King Jing and Xia Dong also went. It was Mei Changsu who deliberately asked them to go. Mei Changsu knew that only Xie Yu knew the truth about the "rebellion" of the Red Flame Army.
Mei Changsu relied on his own wisdom to trick Xie Yu step by step, forcing him to tell the truth that all the Red Flame Army were killed.
It turns out that the so-called "rebellion" of the Red Flame Army was just a frame-up by Xie Yu and Xia Jiang.
They first found a man named Li Chongxin and asked him to imitate the handwriting of the former Red Flame Army forward general Nie Feng and write a letter asking for help. The letter said that the Red Flame Army coach Lin Xie had rebelled and asked the emperor to send someone to rescue them.
Based on this "fake letter", Xie Yu and Xia Jiang led the army to Meiling and killed 70,000 soldiers of the Red Flame Army.
After learning the truth, Prince Jing and Xia Dong felt unbearable grief.
When Xia Dong was in prison, he tried his best to control his crying and not let himself cry. When I walked out of the prison, I almost fell down.
Prince Jing ran directly to Concubine Jing’s palace and cried like a child.
And what about Mei Changsu?
When he returned to Su Mansion from Tianlao, he locked himself in the room without saying a word. Even Li Gang and Zhen Ping, who had been following him, said that they had never seen him like this before.
It can be seen that Mei Changsu's sadness is only worse than that of Prince Jing and Xia Dong, but not worse. What's more, he had personally experienced the war that year, and he thought of each living life, as well as his father, disappearing before his eyes. No one can understand Mei Changsu's grief.
But at night, when Prince Jing came to see him through the secret passage, Mei Changsu pretended that nothing happened, and did not even mention a word about the truth about the Chi Yan case he heard in the prison, which made Prince Jing furious.
These are Mei Changsu's "pretations". In front of Prince Jing, Mei Changsu pretends to be a person who only knows "conspiracies" and has no emotions. How could someone like
be Lin Shu in Prince Jing’s heart? In Prince Jing's heart, Mei Changsu could never be compared with Lin Shu. It’s not surprising that Prince Jing couldn’t recognize Mei Changsu.
Final summary
When watching this drama, every time when Prince Jing misunderstood Mei Changsu and regarded Mei Changsu as a cold-blooded animal without emotions, he would feel sad for Mei Changsu for a long time.
You can see When Emperor Liang was willing to retry the Chi Yan case, he felt that everything Mei Changsu had done was worth it!
The only regret: Mei Changsu, who has transformed back into Lin Shu, can be upright and upright, and Lin Shu, who stands in front of Xiao Jamyan without any scruples, will never return!
For the rest of my life, no one will call me "Buffalo" again!
