According to the record of the Book of Rites: "The crowned person is also the beginning of the ceremony."
In short, a man's 20 crowns and the end of the crown ceremonies means that there is excuse for not understanding etiquette and customs in the first 20 years. From today, the next few decades must understand etiquette, this is the beginning of etiquette in Chinese culture, and as adults of the clan, you can participate in various activities within the clan.
According to the Tan Gong record of the Book of Rites, adult men need to be respected in society. After the crowning ceremony, their peers are not allowed to call their names directly. Only their elders or their real names can be called by their real names. Others must be replaced by words.
Generally speaking, the characters are taken by the elders. Li Ke and Li Tai are both Li Shimin's sons, so the selection of characters is naturally left to Li Shimin, with the exception of Li Kuan. Because his writing had already been set, Li Yuan personally took the writing for it before he died.
In terms of etiquette, in the future, unless it is an elder or himself, everyone else can only call him "Li Yun", not "Li Kuan". In the folks, men under the age of 20 who have not yet been married are replaced by nicknames, which means that their real names are rarely disclosed to others.
Li Kuan doesn't belong to this world, so he doesn't care about his name. He doesn't care or doesn't want to care how others call his mouth grow on others. In his opinion, the name is used to shout, and the words are the same.
Li Shimin had already decided on Li Ke’s wording, and he took the word "respect and righteousness". Taking the wording on the basis of his real name also reminded Li Ke to be more cautious. The other meant to be respectable and represents his status; Li Thai's table word "Hui Bao".
The son of Li Shimin, too, had already seen that the two people had completely different positions in Li Shimin in terms of the attitude of taking the words. On the contrary, Li Kuan was happy to accept it. After all, his name was taken by his grandfather Li Yuan, and Li Shimin was just a retelling.
Li Shimin announced the words of the three in public, and the three immediately saluted. Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin looked at Wang Huai and waited nervously for Wang Huai to announce the contents of the first emperor's will. Li Shimin was still very concerned about this.
Wang Huai and Li Shimin looked at each other, and saw that Li Shimin was still unwilling to fulfill the original promise, "The emperor was right!" Wang Huai sighed secretly, and in desperation had to walk out of the crowd, and the edict was also in his hand. He spread it out, and said forcefully: "The first emperor's edict, ordered Chu Wang Li Yun to remove the golden mask, and show his true colors in the future!"
After a few short words, Li Kuan frowned, but he didn't understand what his grandfather meant. If you want to remove the mask, why do you have to wait until the crowning ceremony at the age of twenty, anytime it is much stronger than now, looking at Wang Huai puzzled.
Upon seeing this, Wang Huai smiled and continued to read out the contents of the will, which roughly meant that Chu Wang Li Kuan was already in his twenties, and he did not have to wear a mask to live his life. As for the matter he agreed with Li Shimin, he didn't mention a word, but Li Shimin looked nervous and gathered to listen to the content.
Seeing that he hadn't mentioned anything about that year, Li Shimin felt relieved, and then his gaze was fixed on Li Kuan. As the king of a country, Li Shimin is also very curious. In these years, Li Kuan has been wearing a mask and has never shown his true face in front of people. Today, he finally lifted the fog to see the blue sky.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others were also very curious. They were in the center of the court and naturally heard about the deeds of the Chu king Li Kuan, especially during the period when the first emperor Li Yuan died. Li Kuan wearing a mask.
They were also very curious at the time, but they didn't dare to ask more, if they had never seen Li Shimin before, how could they have met. Since Li Shimin had nothing more than to let Li Kuan remove his mask and show his true colors, he could only say that Li Kuan wearing the mask was an order from the first emperor.
Empress Longsun was also curious about what Li Kuan looked like. Li Ke and Li Tai looked at each other and sneered secretly in their hearts: "I want to see if it's really like what I said before, completely unrecognizable or unable to meet people." Li Tai Li Ke and Li Ke united the front, the mask has not been removed, and there is an answer in his heart.
Li Kuan frowned and watched Wang Huai intently waiting for his explanation. How did the latter not understand the meaning of Li Kuan's eyes, and said with a smile: "This matter was arranged by the emperor. When you become an adult Then you can remove the mask to reveal your true face."
Li Kuan's face was full of puzzlement. He really didn't understand what was going on. He bluntly asked, "Why wait until this time?"
Facing Li Kuan's accusations and doubts, Wang Huai turned his attention to Li Shimin. If it weren't for his reluctance to recognize Li Kuan's status as the second prince, how could Wang Huai read the edict? Everything seemed to be under Li Yuan's control.

Even if the first emperor Li Yuan is gone, this edict still exists. After Li Shimin had a long talk with Li Yuan, Li Yuan had already made arrangements to secretly hand over this edict to Wang Huai for safekeeping. In addition, Li Yuan made the stipulation that Li Shimin would let Li Kuan take off his mask and show his true colors in the future to successfully force Li Shimin to fulfill the original agreement.
Secondly, removing the mask is not necessarily a bad thing for Li Kuan, provided that he must stay in Kyoto. From the very beginning, Li Yuan had made further arrangements. Everything from Li Kuan’s departure from Kyoto to this time when he returned to Beijing for the crowning ceremony was being calculated.
Li Kuan quickly sorted out his thoughts. Regarding the arrangement of his grandfather, Li Kuan was dumbfounded. If it was someone else, Li Kuan might not obey. But this time it was the edict left by his grandfather Li Yuan. The deceased was the elder and his grandfather, and Li Kuan had to obey his instructions.
"Ginger is still hot!"
It’s still being calculated. Li Kuan doesn’t want to secretly say that his grandfather is not. However, the facts are in front of him. The 100% old fox, if Li Kuan is absolutely willing at other times, he is unwilling to let him go before Li Shimin. The mask reveals his true face.
Everyone's curious eyes focused on him. Li Kuan knew that he was riding a tiger and was unable to get off the ground. The rope was untied and the mask slowly moved away from his face. After a while, Li Kuan's true face was undoubtedly revealed, and he had already held the mask in his hand.
When he looked at Li Shimin, he found that there were other emotions in his eyes besides shock, and he glanced at the expressions of other people. Except for Li Ke and Li Tai, everyone was dumbfounded and stared at Li Kuan intently. Standing still in place, everyone was dumbfounded the moment they saw Li Kuan's true tolerance.
"Like, too much!"
The thoughts in everyone's minds were surprisingly consistent, and even the air seemed to be frozen. Except for the faint green smoke from the burning of incense candles, there was no movement in the entire Taimiao. The needles dropped were audible and silent. At the same time, everyone's gazes contrasted back and forth between Li Kuan and Li Shimin, especially Empress Changsun's eyes widened, her mouth closed from ear to ear, and even Feng Yi, who was a queen, was completely forgotten. , There was a huge wave in my heart, and the memories of the past emerged in my heart.
