Seeing his son calling someone daddy, even if that person was his lord, Li Yuan still felt a little sour in his heart.
But no matter for himself, for his family, or for Li Yuanba, Li Yuan had to do this.
It's the right thing to do. Anyway, what you are giving up is just a son who has never had hope. Li Yuan comforted himself in his heart.
Dong Zhuo was really happy from the bottom of his heart. When Li Ru saw this, he stood up and said: "Father-in-law, you haven't been this happy for a long time. Why not have a double happiness to add to the happiness?"
"Oh?"
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately became interested and asked with a smile: "What is the method of double happiness?"
Li Ru pointed at Li Shimin and said: "Shimin's virtuous brother is a rare young hero in the world with both civil and military skills. Why doesn't my lord recruit him as his son-in-law and bring double happiness to his family?"
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, while Dong Zhuo looked at Li Shimin with bright eyes.
Dong Zhuo is not handsome in appearance, he can only be said to be powerful and majestic, but the daughters born to Dong Zhuo are all beautiful and beautiful.
Although Dong Zhuo had many wives and concubines, he only had four daughters and one son in total. Now his only son has died in the battle, leaving only four precious daughters.
Dong Zhuo's eldest daughter, Dong Yu, married a leader of a certain Qiang tribe in original history.
The second daughter, Dong Zhao, was the wife of Niu Fu, a general under Dong Zhuo.
The third daughter, Dong Yuan, is Li Ru’s wife.
As for the youngest daughter Dong Wan, there is no clear record in official or unofficial history.
This crusade against the Yellow Turbans broadened Dong Zhuo's knowledge. How could ordinary young heroes fall into his eyes?
Now in Dong Zhuo's mind, apart from the proud man like Qin Hao, the next best person who is qualified to marry his daughter is at least a talented man with both civil and military talents like Li Shimin and Zhao Zilong.
Therefore, although it is still possible that Dong Yu will marry the Qiang leader due to family interests, it is basically impossible for Dong Zhao to be married to Niu Fu by Dong Zhuo.
Now with a perfect son-in-law like Li Shimin as a reference, a guy like Niu Fu would never catch Dong Zhuo's eyes.
Dong Zhuo's green eyes made Li Shimin feel hairy all over, but Dong Zhuo didn't notice it at all and instead nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, very good."
Dong Zhuo was obviously very satisfied with Li Shimin. He turned back to look at Li Yuan with a smile on his face and asked, "My second daughter, Zhao'er, is still pretty. Is Shude willing to marry my Dong family?"
Dong Zhuo adopted Li Yuanba as his adopted son and changed his surname to Dong, which made Li Yuan feel a little grudge. However, when Dong Zhuo married his daughter to Li Shimin, Li Yuan really had no objection at all.
Marrying a daughter is not as good as giving away a son. Li Shimin married a daughter-in-law into the family and got married to Dong Zhuo, his father-in-law. This has no harm to Li Shimin's career or the development of the Li family.
Let’s talk about Li Shimin first. Dong Zhuo now has no children, and his son-in-law is half a son. Therefore, with Dong Zhuo taking care of him, Li Shimin’s career will definitely be bright.
As for the family, the Dong family has a completely dominant position in Liangzhou, and is ranked as the two heroes of Guanxi with the Qin family. Now it is about to defeat the Qin family and become the leader of the Guanxi family.
One son of the Li family became Dong Zhuo's adopted son, and the other son became Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. With these two relationships, as long as the Li family manages it properly, they will definitely be able to leave Longxi, take root in Liangzhou, and become a truly big family in a short time. So there are four words to describe Li Yuan's mood at this time, that is: elated.
The accumulation of several generations of the family has erupted in his own generation, and Li Yuan is extremely proud.
"Quinzi is naturally lucky to be able to marry the lord's daughter, but I wonder if the second lady is willing to marry Quanzi?"
Li Yuan followed one dog after another, and even pretended to ask Dong Zhao for his opinion. Naturally, he was very willing to do so.
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "If a father has found such a man with both civil and military skills, how can a daughter not be willing to do so? Besides, marriage matters, parents' orders, and matchmaker's words, how can they be so different?
Let her be the only girl to make the decision. That’s it!”
"Okay, that's it."
Li Shimin looked at the two people who decided on his wife's position in such a simple way, and it was absolutely impossible not to feel disgusted in his heart.
This is not because Li Shimin hates Dong Zhao. Li Shimin has met Dong Zhao and has a good impression. In his heart, Dong Zhao, who is gentle and beautiful, is indeed a good choice for his wife.
What Li Shimin resented was simply being manipulated by other people's decisions, and he never asked about his own feelings, so even if it was for his own good, he felt resentful from the bottom of his heart.
But what can I do if I feel disgusted?
Of these two people, one is his father and the other is his father's lord. Even if he unilaterally objects, it will not affect the outcome.
At this time, Li Shimin just wanted to grow up as quickly as possible until no one could force him to do anything he didn't want to do.
……
The Dong family and Li family in Liangzhou have decided to marry, while the Qin family in Luoyang, Qin Wen and Qin Hao, are also discussing marriage with other families, and this family is the Yang family.
After the pre-war meeting, Qin Hao immediately recommended the Yang family to Qin Wen, hoping that his father would personally take action and kill all the remaining talents in the Yang family.
It's not that Qin Hao is impatient, but that someone has already started poaching and succeeded.
I don’t know if the Yang family is too famous. As soon as Qin Hao returned to Luoyang, he heard the news that princes from all walks of life were visiting the Yang family one after another.
The weasel is so diligent in paying New Year greetings to the rooster, so what else is it for?
Now among the eight lines of the third-generation Yang generals and Lao Balang, Yang Jixiao and Yang Jikang have chosen to be loyal to Gongsun Zan.
Yang Jiren, Yang Jiyi and Yang Jikai pledged their allegiance to Yuan Shao.
Yang Jizhong, Yang Jiliang and Yang Jizu surrendered to Cao Cao.
Yang Chongxun surrendered to Sun Jian.
Qin Hao was just a little negligent, and as a result, among the eight lines of the Yang family, only Yang Ye is left vacant, and there are not many princes who are watching.
Qin Hao was very surprised, why is the Yang family so popular?
After investigation, Qin Hao realized that it was no wonder the Yang family was so popular. It turned out to be the family background implanted by the system for the Yang family, which was indeed awesome.
Although the Yang family, which has four generations of generals, is not a top-notch family, the current generation in their prime has basically become famous all over the world.
Especially Yang Ye, who was the last governor of Yanmen before Qin Wen became the governor of Yanmen.
Later, Yang Yecai was demoted because he offended the ten regular servants. He finally became completely disappointed with the Han Dynasty, so he resigned and stayed at home to this day.
Naturally, the princes would not let go of such a talented family.
However, there are more wolves and less meat. Even if the Yang family is full of talents, it will not be enough for the princes.
Just when Qin Hao was on his way to Luoyang, the eight families of the Yang family had basically been divided up, leaving only Yang Ye's family still waiting to see, and this was probably because Yang Dalang was under Qin Hao's command.
