Chapter 81: The MVP Results Screen of the Great Sui Dynasty
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
"What I want to say is that we should sever our father-son relationship first, so that I won't have to avenge you."
Yuwen Chenglong's mind was extremely clear; he didn't want to be branded as unfilial.
Therefore, he made a decisive decision!
"I……"
Yuwen Chengdu was greatly shocked by his younger brother's words.
He'll never learn this kind of brain circuit in his entire life.
"You unfilial son, get out! Don't even think about severing your father-son relationship with me!"
Yuwen Huaji roared angrily.
"Father, don't be angry." Yuwen Chenglong stepped forward and advised him, not caring at all.
"The celebration banquet is about to start, we have to go together, we can't let others laugh at us."
"..."
Yuwen Huaji felt a lump in his throat and couldn't catch his breath for a long time. Finally, he slumped into a chair, looking utterly dejected.
He truly had no way to deal with his second son.
A moment later, the Yuwen family finally left the mansion and headed towards the palace.
On the other side, Lü Xiao had already arrived at the palace because he had set off early.
However, he did not go directly to the main hall for the victory banquet, but instead took a detour to the place where Shibi Khan was imprisoned.
"Hey, you all don't look too good. Why are you all unhappy?"
Lü Xiao leaned against the door frame, looking at the three people, Shibi Khan and his companions, who were imprisoned inside the room with a half-smile.
Shibi Khan raised his eyes, snorted coldly, and said nothing.
They've all become prisoners, what's there to be happy about?
"Don't be so lifeless." Lu Xiao stepped forward and patted the door frame.
"At the celebration banquet later, the three of you will have to put on some exciting performances to liven things up for everyone."
Since Yang Lin had finally come to Dongdu, Lü Xiao naturally had to treat him well.
If the Turkic Khan himself were to go on stage and sing and dance, the old man would be overjoyed.
"Hmph, a scholar can be killed, but not humiliated!" Shibi Khan straightened his chest, his attitude resolute.
"I am the Khan of the Turks, and even in death, I will never bow and scrape before you Sui Dynasty people!"
"Great! Very energetic!"
Lu Xiao nodded approvingly, worried that the three of them would be listless on stage and spoil the fun for everyone.
"However, I have a question for you."
He paused, then slowly said, "You don't want the Turks to have to pay tribute to the Sui Dynasty with large quantities of warhorses, cattle, and sheep every year from now on, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Shibi Khan immediately deflated.
Cattle and sheep were the livelihood of the Turkic people, and warhorses were the foundation for their survival on the grasslands.
If they pay tribute in large quantities, the Turks will completely decline within a few years.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and asked, "What do you want us to perform?"
"Simple, we'll just dance your traditional Turkic dance," Lü Xiao said with a smile.
"Remember, be energetic, the more lively the better!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
"My lord, you haven't arrived at the victory celebration banquet yet?"
Upon seeing Lü Xiao, Yuwen Chenglong immediately shoved his father aside and went up to greet him.
"Together?"
"Let's go!"
Upon receiving the invitation, Yuwen Chenglong readily agreed.
At this time, the victory celebration banquet had not yet begun.
Yang Guang and Yang Lin have already taken their seats.
"Zilie, come over here."
When Yang Lin saw Lü Xiao, he quickly raised his hand to greet him.
Lu Xiao sat down next to Yang Lin, but before he could even get comfortable, another person sat down next to him.
"Young general, you look quite dashing today."
Yang Ruyi stared at Lü Xiao and said with a grin.
We were used to seeing Lü Xiao in armor, but today, dressed in a black robe, with a jade belt around his waist and a golden crown on his head, he looked even more dashing.
Yang Lin looked at the two of them and a smile appeared on his face.
Indeed, he once wrote a letter urging Lü Xiao to get closer to Yang Ruyi, and now it seems they have already become close.
If Lü Xiao were to marry a princess of the royal family, he would surely be even more devoted to serving the Sui Dynasty.
The banquet had already begun while they were chatting.
All the civil and military officials and members of prominent families in the court were present.
Yang Guang sat on the throne, poured himself a cup of wine, and raised it high.
"My lords, we have achieved a great victory! We have captured the Turkic Khan alive, thus enhancing our nation's prestige!"
"Such a grand occasion deserves to be celebrated to the fullest!"
"We won't stop until we're drunk!"
Everyone responded in unison, raising their glasses and instantly bringing the banquet atmosphere to a climax.
The sounds of clinking glasses and exchanging toasts filled the hall, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
"Zilie, didn't you say you wanted Shibi Khan to dance?"
Yu Juluo came over from the side, his eyes full of anticipation.
As a senior official, he naturally had a lot of dealings with the Turks.
He dreamed of seeing the Turks make a fool of themselves, especially since it was the dignified Khan who was making a fool of himself.
"Yes, it will be ready soon." Lü Xiao stood up as he spoke, addressing Yang Guang in the hall:
"Your Majesty, Shibi Khan wishes to personally perform a dance to show his respect for Your Majesty and his submission to the Great Sui Dynasty."
"Oh?" Yang Guang immediately perked up and asked, "You didn't force him, did you?"
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? He did it voluntarily."
Lu Xiao responded honestly.
Is he the kind of person who forces women into prostitution?
"Okay, please come in!"
Yang Guang waved his sleeves and habitually tucked his hands together, assuming a melon-eating posture.
Before long, Shibi Khan arrived in the palace with his two brothers.
They looked around and, seeing so many Sui Dynasty officials, their faces flushed red.
It's embarrassing, especially in front of so many people.
But when I thought of what Lü Xiao had said, I didn't care about losing face.
For the people of the Turks, let's do it!
As the sounds of instruments such as the double bili, the jie drum, and the five-stringed pipa rang out, Shibi Khan began to dance gracefully.
Normally, people mostly watch women dance, so seeing men dance is quite a novel experience.
"Hahaha!"
When Yang Guang saw these three boorish men from the grasslands writhing wildly, he immediately burst out laughing.
"Excellent, truly excellent."
As someone from the older generation, Yang Lin naturally possessed the reserve and modesty of that generation.
He raised a toast with veteran officials such as Yu Juluo, Yang Yichen, and Yuwen Shu, and was very happy.
"Your jumping isn't good either, I'll try!"
Yuwen Chenglong sat to one side of the banquet, feeling that Shibi Khan still needed more training.
He went directly to the center and danced with Shibi Khan.
"Me too!"
Pei Yuanqing had always been competing with Yuwen Chenglong, and at this moment, he was not about to be at a disadvantage.
"Big brother, you're here too!"
Yuwen Chenglong felt that he might not be able to defeat Pei Yuanqing, so he decided to ask for outside help.
"roll!"
Yuwen Chengdu's face darkened; he really wanted to chop his younger brother up with a single blow.
"General Tianbao, it's lively! And the Prime Minister is here too, let's go up together."
Yang Guang harbored ill intentions, and Yuwen Chengdu always wore a cold expression.
He also wanted to see how awkwardly this guy would dance on stage.
"Yes……"
Faced with Yang Guang's orders, Yuwen Chengdu dared not disobey.
Yuwen Huaji hadn't expected that he would have his own involvement in this, so he quickly went up on stage as well.
Suddenly, the four of them began to dance the "Ta Ge" dance in the center of the main hall.
Yuwen Chenglong, Yuwen Huaji, and Pei Yuanqing were all shameless, dancing with great enthusiasm and completely disregarding the gazes of others.
Yuwen Chengdu was stiff all over, his expression awkward.
It was as if this body didn't belong to him; every movement was filled with reluctance.
This scene was jokingly referred to by Lü Xiao.
The MVP settlement screen of the Sui Dynasty.
