After seven years of fiefdom, Li Shimin asked me to return and become the crown prince.

Lantern Festival!

Lighting lanterns during the Lantern Festival has been popular since the Han Dynasty.

In order to promote Buddhism, Emperor Ming of Han issued a special decree to"light lanterns to show Buddha" in the palace and temples on the night of the Lantern Festival.

After that, the custom of lighting lanterns during the Lantern Festival spread from the palace to the people.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, many people went to temples to worship Buddha during the Lantern Festival.

This is why Taoism is not as good as those bald donkeys even though it is the state religion of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Kuan was puzzled. Both respecting Confucianism and promoting Buddhism are means of imprisoning the people.

In comparison, Li Kuan still prefers the Hundred Schools of Thought during the Qin Dynasty, rather than the current rampant corrupt Confucian scholars and party formation, which led to the subsequent self-contained.

However, this custom has been passed down. Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, both nobles and ordinary people have to hang lanterns, and the capital is brightly lit all night. Now this custom is becoming more and more popular. Li Kuan supports retaining the custom, but if it is conservative, then this great country will repeat the same mistakes.

Li Kuan will never allow it.

This is also Li���The main reason for opposing Confucianism was that he would never allow such a great country to be brought to such a weak state.

""Look, it's so beautiful!"

As Li Kuan sighed, Cheng Jingwen looked at the exiled lotus lanterns by the river, her eyes twinkling with little stars, and walked forward to take a look.

Zhao Xin and Xi Junmai protected Li Kuan on both sides.

There were too many people around, and they were afraid that something unexpected would happen.

"There is a lantern riddle guessing stall over there, let's go and take a look!"Li Kuan pulled Cheng Jingwen to look at a lantern riddle guessing stall.

Li Kuan pulled Cheng Jingwen over.

"Would you like to guess the lantern riddles? Guess one riddle for one penny. If you can guess three riddles correctly, the lotus lantern will be yours. If you can guess ten riddles correctly, the tiger and rabbit lantern above will be yours!"

The vendor watched Li Kuan selling his lantern riddles. Although Li Kuan and his friends looked a little strange in their cotton coats, from the demeanor of Li Kuan and Cheng Jingwen, it was clear that they were rich people.

His business was coming.

"Tiger-rabbit lantern?"

Li Kuan's eyes fell on the exquisitely woven tiger-rabbit-shaped lantern on the top, and he waved at Zhao Xin:

"Give him ten cents!"

"Sir, you are so elegant. Here are all riddles. You can pick out ten questions at random to answer!"

The vendor took out a paper box with slips of paper inside. Each slip had a riddle written on it:"This question cannot be accumulated. If you answer it wrong, you have to guess again!"

Li Kuan didn't waste time and took out a slip of paper:

"There is no other in the world, if you put them together, every family has them, answer with one word!"

Seeing this, Li Kuan asked the vendor to take a look and said,"People!"

Next is the second riddle;

"The sun sets in the west and the moon rises in the east. Answer with one word!"

"bright!"

"There is a little girl in the pond, who was born in the middle of the water. Her fair face smiles in the wind, and she is sitting by the green boat without paddling!"

"Lotus!"

"......."

The vendor watched Li Kuan answer the questions, and cold sweat began to seep out of his forehead. If he continued to answer like this, the lantern above him would belong to this young man.

He had spent 500 coins to buy it, so he was going to lose money this time?

"The last one: Rain beats on the lamp but it cannot be extinguished; the wind blows at night and it becomes brighter. If it is not in the sky, it must be a star on the edge of the moon!"

This is the last question, and the corners of the peddler's eyes began to tremble, hoping that Li Kuan would not be able to answer it.

"Jingwen, do you want to guess the last one?"Li Kuan asked with a smile.

It would be boring to guess such a simple question by yourself.

Seeing this, the vendor hurriedly said,"Only one person can answer the question. If others answer it, it doesn't count!"

The vendor's eyes also lit up. It seems that this question is the best answer.

At least, his big lantern is saved.

"Fireflies!"

Li Kuan also smiled slightly and spread his hands indifferently. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Crash!

In an instant, the peddler leaned on the table like a deflated ball. He hadn't made any money yet.

But Cheng Jingwen gave the tiger and rabbit lantern to Li Kuan very obediently, and added:"Sir, you are really good at literature. Today you are the first person who can guess ten in a row!"

Li Kuan gave the peddler a look that said"you are very sensible", and then put the lantern in Cheng Jingwen's hand.

"So beautiful!" Cheng Jingwen looked at Li Kuan with a different feeling in her eyes, especially when guessing lantern riddles. She once again witnessed Li Kuan's literary talent.

"As long as you like it!" Li Kuan replied, pulling Cheng Jingwen to continue walking inside.

"Give me ten lantern riddles too!"

Someone behind Li Kuan saw that Li Kuan took away a big lantern with only ten coins, and they also began to be eager to try.

"Give me ten first!"

"...."

Li Kuan and his companions continued to walk forward. The further they walked, the more people there were and the more prosperous it became.

Before they knew it, they had actually walked to the vicinity of Mingyue Tower.

In fact, Pingkangfang was the most beautiful place with yellow lights, but because... cough cough...But because this is a place of prostitution, women usually don't come here when they go out.

Li Kuan also planned to take Cheng Jingwen to other places, but he saw a group of people gathered in front of Mingyue Tower, as if they were talking about writing poetry?

Cheng Jingwen was also attracted by that and walked over there.

"Yo..."This young lady is so pretty. Why are you here in this place of fireworks? Do you want to play with us?"

Just as Li Kuan and his men were walking over there, a few dandy young men came over.

They seemed to be drunk, staggering and acting in a sloppy manner. They were obviously hooligans in Chang'an. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no curfew during the Lantern Festival, they molested decent women on the street.

"Stop!" Zhao Xin stepped forward to stop the bastard. Li Kuan didn't want to bring Cheng Jingwen into conflict with them, so he pulled Cheng Jingwen and tried to bypass them.

"Don't go, play with me. I am���Awesome!"The dandy young man still answered with a smile

"Second brother, this girl is so beautiful!"

"Wow, it looks like she's still a virgin!"

As the young man teased, four or five people followed behind him and teased him. The young man in the lead was even bolder and walked over to hold Cheng Jingwen's hand.

"Zhao Xin, cripple one of his legs!" A cold light flashed in Li Kuan's eyes.

"Yes!"Li Kuan said, and Zhao Xin was going to execute it unconditionally. He pressed the leading young man to the ground in a flash and stepped hard!

The sound of broken bones was heard, followed by a scream.

This cry of pain immediately attracted everyone around, even those who were gathered in front of Mingyuan Building focused their attention.

The whole street fell into a brief silence. Đạo Vô Tâm
