When the opportunity comes, those who can seize the opportunity can succeed.

For Cui Shaoqing, participating in Li Yuan's birthday banquet is an opportunity.

He must seize this opportunity so that he can soar.

And in order to grasp this opportunity, Cui Shaoqing has not gone to the county office much in the past few days, and has been preparing gifts for the birthday banquet.

Chen Gu and the others knew that Tang Xu was preparing the gift, so they let him go.

After all, if Cui Shaoqing is prosperous, they will be able to follow him.

After all, they all have a good relationship.

After preparing like this for a few days, Cui Shaoqing finally prepared the gift he was going to offer.

It was the day before Li Yuan's birthday banquet when the gifts were ready.

Because they were still a little far away from Chang'an City, they hurried to Chang'an City that afternoon, so that they would be able to enter the palace directly tomorrow morning.

The weather in Chang'an City is very cold.

Chang'an City is a little deserted, and everyone's attention to Li Yuan's birthday banquet is not very high.

After all, Li Yuan is now the emperor, and he has been put under house arrest by Li Shimin, a person who has been far away from the center of power, everyone naturally won't take him seriously?

Even if Li Shimin's birthday banquet for him is very grand, it still can't change anything.

After Cui Shaoqing came to Chang'an City, when he saw this situation, he somewhat lamented for Li Yuan.

To be honest, in his opinion, Li Yuan can be regarded as a capable person, but it is a pity that his son Li Shimin is too ambitious, so it led to the situation of the emperor.

However, this situation may be a good thing for Cui Shaoqing.

After a night, early the next morning, Cui Shaoqing and others hurried to the palace, and when they arrived, there were already many officials in the palace.

The identities of these officials are very unusual, basically they are all members of the third rank or above, the most national princes, county princes, and Hou Ye, but people like Cui Shaoqing and them are the only ones.

Several people from their county government stood together, and no one paid attention to them at all, and no one took them seriously.

Who will take a few seventh- and eighth-grade officials in their eyes?

Even if Cui Shaoqing has been in the limelight recently, everyone will never take him seriously, after all, his identity is here.

However, Cui Shaoqing and the others only stayed for a long time before someone walked towards them.

After Cui Shaoqing saw them, he hurriedly greeted them.

"Father-in-law, Lu Guogong."

The people who came over were Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin, Qin Shubao nodded, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but speak: "You kid, yes, you even made a vegetable greenhouse, yes, yes, by the way, did your cook on the first floor of the world come, can I eat your food today?" ”

"Two cooks were called, so they must have been able to taste them."

Hearing this, Cheng Yanjin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good to come, we have a good mouth again." ”

“………………”

A few people said this, and before they knew it, the time was almost noon, but at this time, Li Yuan, the birthday star, had not yet come, and everyone couldn't help but have some discussions.

And just here in the hall, when the hundred officials were waiting a little anxiously, here in Li Yuan's palace, Li Shimin had already arrived with people.

Early in the morning, Li Shimin sent someone to invite Li Yuan, but the result was that Li Yuan said that he was sick and would not go to this birthday banquet.

Li Shimin still knows Li Yuan very well, he knows that his father is sick, obviously he is uncomfortable, and he is still angry with himself, so he found an excuse not to attend the birthday banquet, which is obviously to make him Li Shimin ugly.

But Li Shimin is still counting on this birthday banquet to improve his reputation, so no matter what, Li Yuan must attend.

Therefore, he could only bring someone to the palace and invite him in person.

The palace is a little quiet, except for a few palace people and palace maids who are busy going back and forth, there are no other people here.

After Li Shimin came, these palace people and palace maids panicked for a moment and hurriedly ran to salute.

Li Shimin didn't bother to talk to them, and came directly to Li Yuan's bedroom.

When I came to the dormitory, there was a palace guard outside the dormitory.

"Bye...... Meet the Holy One. ”

After seeing Li Shimin, the palace people hurriedly saluted, this palace man was the old man of Li Yuan's time, and he was deeply favored by Li Yuan, and now, Li Yuan dismissed many people, but left him.

Li Shimin glanced at this palace person and said, "What about the emperor?" ”

"Holy Lord, the Emperor is sick."

After the palace man finished speaking, he raised his head slightly and glanced at Li Shimin, and as soon as he looked up like this, he saw Li Shimin's murderous face, and his heart suddenly froze, and he was covered in a cold sweat.

But he still tried to keep himself calm without flinching.

"The Emperor was fine yesterday, why is he sick today? I have brought the imperial doctor, and let the imperial doctor treat the emperor. ”

"Holy Lord, the Emperor doesn't want to see anyone else."

"Am I someone else?" Li Shimin was already trying his best to be patient, if it weren't for the fact that this palace man had won Li Yuan's trust, he would have wanted to kill him now.

"The Emperor Taishang said it, and the Holy One doesn't want to see it."

Li Shimin snorted, and then ordered: "Open the door." ”

The palace people didn't move, but at this time, the guards behind Li Shimin had already rushed over and knocked the door open.

The door opened, and Li Shimin walked in alone, when he entered, Li Yuan was sitting and drinking, he looked a little haggard, but he didn't look sick.

He glanced up at Li Shimin, but quickly resumed drinking.

"When I become the Son of Heaven, it's different, I don't even care about me as a father."

Although he was forced to abdicate, Li Yuan was really not afraid of Li Shimin, he believed that Li Shimin would not dare to do anything to him, unless he wanted to leave a stench for ten thousand years.

When Li Shimin heard such a sarcastic remark, he was not angry, and he showed some trepidation.

"It's just that after hearing that my father is sick, so I'm a little anxious, don't blame my father, I don't know what kind of illness my father has, my sons have brought a royal doctor, so they can show my father."

Li Yuan put down the wine glass, suddenly lay down, and said, "Come on, you let them come and see what kind of disease I have." ”

This look, a bit of a hooligan, that posture is really not very elegant, Li Shimin smacked his tongue, but he didn't dare to say anything, he could only cough dryly twice, and then, two imperial doctors walked in.

These two imperial doctors are the most skilled imperial doctors in the palace.

After they came in, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Show the Emperor Taishang." ”

After the two imperial doctors received the order, they walked up, but after looking at each other, the two of them looked at each other, and they both showed bitter expressions.
