Chapter 262: The Cause of Zhou Yi's Death

While Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Xin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, Zhou Yi is quite good, it seems that it is necessary for him to give Zhou Yi a good look at his illness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

According to the vague records in history, Zhou Yu returned to Jiangdong from Luoyang because his father was seriously ill when he was young, although the specific time of Zhou Yi's death is not clear, and there is no relevant record of Zhou Yi's specific illness, but Liu Xin estimates that it has been the past two years, as for the specific symptoms, Liu Xin can find an opportunity to give Zhou Yi a pulse, after all, Chinese medicine is much more convenient in this regard, as long as you look at and hear, you can determine the patient's disease.

However, when Liu Xin met Zhou Yi last time, although he did not observe carefully, it was not difficult for Liu Xin to find that Zhou Yi's physical condition seemed to be quite good, his face and voice were okay, and there was no illness.

Therefore, Liu Xin felt that the cause of Zhou Yi's death in history was likely to be due to some "disease" disease, which caused Zhou Yi to die in a short period of time.

The first thing that Liu Xin thought of was the plague called "typhoid fever", which had broken out in Luoyang many times, and Zhou Yi was likely to die of the "typhoid fever" plague.

However, Liu Xin felt that this speculation was very unreliable, because Liu Xin knew that the epidemic was extremely contagious, and the epidemic prevention methods and epidemic prevention awareness in the Han Dynasty were almost zero, basically the corpses that died because of the plague were simply buried or simply discarded.

Moreover, those who died of the plague would be taken by some people who liked to take advantage of the plague if they had any suitable clothing or daily necessities, which would lead to the spread of the plague more rapidly and it would be difficult to extinguish the source of the plague.

Therefore, in the relevant records about the plague, it is basically a dead person from one village to another, and as long as one person in the village suffers from the plague, then the whole village will not be able to escape.

Moreover, the official attitude of the Han Dynasty towards the plague is laissez-faire, because the Han official has no way to control the plague and treat the people suffering from the plague, so they simply let it fend for itself.

Even some people who suffered from the plague could enter and leave the city at will, infecting the plague to more people, which also led to the spread of the plague faster and faster, and during the war of the Han Dynasty, the plague was like a locust, sweeping the entire Han Dynasty, especially after Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, because a large number of corpses were not properly disposed of, so a terrible plague broke out, so that Luoyang, which was already greatly injured, instantly turned into a dead city, and ten rooms and nine emptiness could not describe the decaying Luoyang at that time. It also took decades of reconstruction and development for Luoyang to regain its former prosperity.

But then again, if Zhou Yi was really infected with the plague, then Zhou Yi's family should also be infected with the plague, especially a young child like Zhou Yu, whose resistance is obviously not good.

However, in all kinds of books about Zhou Yu, they basically only mention Zhou Yi's death, but do not mention the large-scale death of Zhou Yu's family, which shows that Zhou Yi's death should have nothing to do with the "typhoid fever" plague.

At this time, Liu Xin remembered what Cao Cao had said to him, and now the eunuch forces led by the Ten Standing Servants and the family forces led by the Yuan family, as well as the relatives controlled by He Jin, are all competing for various rights in Luoyang, and even Cao Cao, the northern lieutenant of Luoyang, has been co-opted in various ways, not to mention Zhou Yi's Luoyang Order.

And although the Luoyang Order is not high in grade, it is not low in terms of actual rights, for example, the security in Luoyang City is basically responsible for the Luoyang Order, and the officials under the Luoyang Order are also numerous, which is a good military force, after all, in addition to all kinds of officials in Luoyang City, only the forbidden army in the palace can wear weapons, and the soldiers under the general He Jin can only be stationed outside Luoyang City.

The forbidden army in the palace is personally in charge of Emperor Han Ling, even Zhang Rang does not dare to interfere with the forbidden army, after all, it is already considered a rebellion, if someone is caught, it will be a dead end.

Therefore, the three forces can only compete for control of the various officials in Luoyang City, so the three forces want to install their own people in the Luoyang Yamen.

And now Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi is a part of the family's forces, after all, Zhou Yi's ancestors are noble, and they are also a powerful family, so they are naturally valued and supported by the family's forces.

But Liu Xin knows that now in Luoyang City, the power of the family seems to have mastered the court, but there is not much real power at all, because Emperor Han Ling does not pay attention to the government at all, and every time he goes to the court, he goes through a formality, which is basically over in an hour.

Therefore, the power of the family is not easy in Luoyang City, because they are always in a state of passive beating, so Luoyang Ling naturally cannot keep this position.

Of course, although the Ten Standing Servants and He Jin were favored, there was no way to dismiss Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi at will, after all, Zhou Yi performed well in Luoyang Ling, he was conscientious and conscientious, and he couldn't find any suitable handle.

So the ten permanent attendants and He Jin wanted to be dismissed from office "Zhengda Guangming", and then let their subordinates sit in the position of Luoyang Ling, which was basically impossible, so they could only use some means that could not be put on the table.

And those methods that can't be used are nothing more than assassinating Zhou Yi in various ways, and Zhou Yi suddenly "died of illness in Luoyang", it is very likely that it is the hand of the Ten Standing Servants or He Jindong.

In the struggle for power, in addition to the swords and swords on the surface, there are also poisons and daggers behind the ground.

Of course, this is just Liu Xin's speculation, after all, with the current medical level of Dahan, a cold can kill people, and it is not impossible for Zhou Yi to die because of illness.

However, because Zhou Yu was his loyal fan, Liu Xin decided to save Zhou Yi's life, after all, Zhou Yi is Zhou Yu's father, and he can sit in Luoyang Ling's position, which shows that Zhou Yi still has a certain level.

And if Zhou Yi can be allowed to sit in Luoyang Ling's position all the time, it will also be helpful for Liu Xin to implement his future plans.

But now is not the time to think about these things, after all, this is just Liu Xin's conspiracy theory, everything is still to wait until tomorrow to meet Zhou Yi before talking about it.

What Liu Xin has to do now is to continue chatting with Yuan Shao and others to brush up his favorability, as for recruiting Fengji, let's wait until after dinner.

Liu Xin chatted with Yuan Shao and others for a while, and Su Jia pushed the dining cart to the living room.

Because of the meal sharing system implemented by the Han Dynasty, that is, one table for one person, one set of meals and wine, although Liu Xin felt that these meals were not as lively as everyone sitting together, but in order to take care of the customs of Yuan Shao, these "locals", Liu Xin could only accept the reality.

However, Liu Xin still made changes to the meal distribution system, that is, to add the elements of the buffet, put all the dishes and staple food on the dining car built by Su Jia herself, and then put the dining car in the middle of the living room, and everyone's desk revolves around the dining car, so that it is more atmospheric, although this requires everyone to get up from time to time to add dishes, to be honest, it is still a bit troublesome.

However, Jiang Wei and the others have become accustomed to this way of eating, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have accepted this novel way of dining after yesterday.

And Feng Ji and Chun Yuqiong also said that they didn't care about this, after all, Chun Yuqiong had already taken refuge in Liu Xin, and Feng Ji had already made a plan in his heart, as long as Liu Xin gave him a suitable position, then Feng Ji would "reluctantly" work for Liu Xin.

So Feng Ji and Chun Yuqiong will not be stupid enough to have a conflict with their future "boss" because of a trivial matter, which makes them unpleasant.

Soon, however, everyone focused on a dish, a dish whose name only Liu Xin and Su Jia knew - fried shredded potatoes, because the others didn't know what the main ingredient of the dish was.

Su Jia also knew that Liu Xin hadn't eaten potatoes for a long time, and Liu Xin basically only ate barbecue these days, so he didn't eat much vegetables, so Su Jia didn't make meat dishes such as shredded potatoes and fried meat, and only used potatoes to make a vegetarian dish.

Liu Xin also expressed his appreciation for this, he has been tired of eating barbecue in the past two days, it is time to change the taste and eat some vegetarian dishes to remove the oil, and sure enough, Su Jia understands his preferences.

But don't forget, this is a black potato, so this fried shredded potato is naturally pitch black, like a darkness...

Even Liu Xin, who had already been mentally prepared, couldn't help but shake his head slightly, this was really a veritable dark cuisine.

And Cao Cao and the others, who were already in high spirits and ready to start eating, were also stunned by the "dark" dish in front of them, because they had never seen such a black unknown object.

Cao Cao looked at this plate of fried shredded potatoes and couldn't help but say to Su Jia: "Brother Wenyi, did you put too much vinegar in this dish, so it was so dark?" ”

For Cao Cao, this was the only explanation he could think of, because in Cao Cao's cognition, only food with a lot of vinegar would be dyed black like this by vinegar.

As one of the most important seasonings in the Han Dynasty, vinegar has always been widely used, so the most common taste like Cao Cao and others used to eat was the sour taste brought by vinegar.

However, Feng Ji shook his head at this time and said: "Brother Mengde, you are wrong, this should not be the reason for vinegar, and the color of the ingredients themselves, because if a lot of vinegar is put in, then I should have smelled a lot of vinegar, and this dish instead exudes a fragrance of ingredients, indicating that this dish should not have added much vinegar." ”

Yuan Shao also nodded, agreeing with Feng Ji's statement, "Yuan Tu is right, it is impossible to cover up the vinegar flavor so much, and the color of this dish is also very natural and uniform, which means that this dish is not dyed by vinegar." ”

Cao Cao was sung and harmonized by Feng Ji and Yuan Shao, and he couldn't help but blush, plus Cao Cao was originally a white face, so he was really white.

However, Cao Cao still stiffened his neck and said, "Then tell me, what kind of ingredient is this, and it can be blackened like this?" ”
