The next day, Li Shimin didn't wake up until after nine o'clock.
Many concubines did not dare to disturb him, even if they wanted to go out and play.
But he only dared to stay in the government.
At the same time, Xue Rengui and Li Lizhi also came several times. From about six o'clock in the morning until now.
On this day, they will entertain Li Shimin.
However, he was still sleeping, and everyone could only wait outside the door.
It wasn't until he woke up and the eunuch came to report that everyone entered.
"Father, are you awake?" Li Li asked.
Queen Changsun, Concubine Yang and others also walked in.
Li Shimin stretched his waist.
He looked outside and asked:
"What time is it now?"
"It's nine o'clock in the morning." Queen Changsun said.
Now they are accustomed to using the 24-hour timekeeping scheme.
Because it is very convenient to remember from 1 to 24.
It is not as difficult to remember as the previous twelve hours, and the time is not easy to divide.
One hour and two hours, the time span is a bit long and very inconvenient. Everyone is used to it by the hour.
"Is it so late? You still went to bed late. I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long!"
Li Shimin murmured. He knew that he was going to play with them today, but now it's better because he overslept!
"Your Majesty was too tired last night and was busy with official duties. He needs to get more rest."
Concubine Yang said.
"Yes, Your Majesty's health is important. Playing and other things are not important!" Wang Guifei also said at the same time. She wants to go out and play more than anyone else!
"Sorry, I got up late today. I originally promised you to watch the sunrise this morning!" Li Shimin said.
Yes, yesterday he told the concubines that he wanted to watch the sunrise.
They have also been waiting since six o'clock in the morning.
The reason is to watch the sunrise with Li Shimin.
However, he got up too late.
What to see?
I looked lonely.
"It's okay, Your Majesty, we still have many days!" Queen Changsun said.
"That's right! That's right, Rengui! Where did you say there was a good view yesterday? Tell me!"
"Your Majesty, you can go and see Lai Yi Land. It is a very famous place!"
The land of Laiyi is the Changdao Islands.
The land of Laiyi is located in the sea area north of Qingzhou, opposite the territory of Goguryeo. The location is also very important.
"Where is that place?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
"There are many wonders and beautiful scenery to see there, and the atmosphere on the island is very wonderful. You can spend a day or two there!"
You can actually play there for a day or two, I really didn’t expect it.
"Okay, then let's go to Lai Yi Land and see!"
After Li Shimin made his decision.
Everyone has to get ready.
Then a eunuch came in.
"Your Majesty, here is information about the whereabouts of the Sixth Prince!"
When the eunuch said this, Li Shimin's expression felt a little wrong.
After all, we can't say this at this time.
Li Shimin felt a little weird about Li Min's monitoring.
This eunuch is really ignorant.
But I’ve said it all, so let’s just say it.
"Where did he go?"
Li Shimin still asked.
"Laiyi's land! The Sixth Prince was there early in the morning."
Where did Li Min go? Will Li Shimin still go?
This is what everyone is thinking.
No one expected that Li Min would go to the land of Lai Yi so early.
He must have gone to see the sunrise too.
That sea area is very beautiful, and it is also the first choice place for people to go to Qingzhou.
"Your Majesty, what about us!?" Queen Changsun said halfway.
Does she mean we want to go? Everyone still wants to go. It depends on what Li Shimin thinks.
He has figured it out, then this matter will be simple, and it will not affect both parties!
"Let me think about it carefully."
"Father, please allow me to say a few words!" Li Lizhi said.
"explain!"
"The strategic location of Lai Yi Land is very important. My father must go and see it."
"Oh? Talk to me!"
So, Li Lizhi took out a map.
Point with your finger to the location on the map.
Exactly where they are going!
"Father, the land of Lai is here and consists of many islands, and opposite it is Goguryeo!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he said: "Oh? Then this place is indeed very important... I must go and see it!"
Yes, the geographical location of Laiyi is very important.
The distance between it and Goguryeo is only over two hundred miles.
A journey of more than one hundred kilometers.
In fact, it's not that far and you'll arrive soon.
The news about Goguryeo and Baekje yesterday made Li Shimin pay attention to Goguryeo again. This time he insisted on going to see it and gave instructions.
To be honest, although he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he had not visited all the territories.
It's like he's never been there before.
He mostly stayed in the palace and did not go out.
He was just instructing the officials in the palace on what to do.
Now that you're all here, there's no reason not to go.
Therefore, he must go to see the so-called Lai Yi land today.
"Your Majesty, let's set off then!" Queen Changsun said.
"Okay, let's go!"
Li Shimin left the room.
Then, he got into the car arranged by Xue Rengui and headed towards the direction of Laiyi Land.
This time it was Xue Rengui driving the car.
This car only carried Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.
Li Lizhi and Concubine Yang were in the rear car.
This trip to the land of Lai may take some time.
In the car, Li Shimin asked: "How long does it take to get to Laiyi Land? I looked at the map and it seems that our location is a bit far away from it."
"Your Majesty, it will take about two hours."
"Is it already noon? The weather is so hot."
"yes!"
There's no way around that.
Who told Li Shimin to go to bed late and get up late? Otherwise, if he had gotten up earlier, he would have been able to get there earlier.
It's not too hot either.
"At that time, the weather got hotter. But if you stay until evening, you can watch the sunset!"
Xue Rengui said again.
Judging from this situation, he has been there before.
"It's okay, we didn't see the sunrise, but we watched the sunset. It's just the other way around, the feeling is the same!" Li Shimin said.
"Queen, it's been many years since we watched the sunset together, right?"
Don't talk about sunset, let's talk about sunrise. Li Shimin didn't accompany Empress Changsun to see it.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we haven't watched the sunset together since Qian'er was born!"
The two spend all day together, but they can't do romantic things together.
"This is my fault, my fault!"
"Your Majesty is a wise king, so naturally he has to worry about the people of the world. You can put aside the love between your children!"
"Queen..."
The two were holding hands.
At this time, Xue Rengui was a little embarrassed.
But after a while, Li Shimin asked again:
"How many islands are there in the Land of Narai?"
"There are six large ones! There are several small islands! The largest one is Dinan Island, but the one with the best location is North Island."
Xue Rengui patiently introduced everything about Lai Yi Land.
