Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Zhi's death came suddenly, but was expected by everyone.

He just got caught in a spring rain in spring, and accidentally contracted the wind and cold. Then he became ill intermittently until the end of summer.

Xiping was not very far from Luoyang, but Zhao Changyu was still afraid that his condition would worsen if he moved, so he took a long leave and rushed back to Xiping with the famous doctor he invited.

Zhao Zhi has become so thin that there is only a handful of bones left.

As soon as they met, Zhao Changyu knew that he would not survive.

Sure enough, the famous doctor didn't even feel the pulse, so he whispered to Zhao Changyu: "Zhao Zhongshu, get ready."

Zhao Changyu had sent away many relatives in his life, including his grandparents, his uncle's family, his father, his mother, and his wife, but none of them were as painful as this time.

Because even though they passed away, there are people who will succeed them. They have already reached a certain age and have struggled for their ideals. Regardless of success or failure, they have not lived in vain.

But his manager...he is a weak general. He was only designated as a top grader in the talent banquet in the spring of this year, and he has not yet had time to serve as an official.

He has only traveled to Sizhou, Yuzhou and Jizhou, and has not had time to go to more places in the future. He has not yet found his own master, cleared the fog of the road ahead, and knows where the future lies.

Zhao Changyu sat quietly, seemingly accepting the famous doctor's diagnosis, but his heart was full of resentment.

He hated Empress Jia, he hated the stupid and incompetent emperor, he hated the vassal kings who frequently caused chaos, he also hated the courtiers who did nothing in the government and could only protect themselves, and even more he hated his own incompetence.

If it weren't for these people, if it weren't for him, how could his son have fled back to Runan to avoid disaster, and even had no medical treatment available after contracting the cold?

Zhao Zhi seemed to see his father's reluctance. He stood up with difficulty in his clothes. With the help of the boy, he sat next to his father and comforted him softly: "Father, countless people have died of typhoid fever. My son can survive until now. My ancestors and father have blessed me. Life and death are destiny, you can’t force them.”

Zhao Changyu clenched his fingers in his sleeves, feeling extremely unwilling, but his face was calm, and he nodded and said: "You are right, your great-grandfather and grandfather are both worthy of heaven and earth, and have contributed to the country. Although I am not as good as me, I have never been It’s harmful, I think this is just a test of your body and will by God, it’s just a little cold. You can rest assured and rest in peace, the doctor has prescribed medicine, and the effect will be seen after three doses.”

Even if there is no effect after taking the medicine for three times, he still wants Zhao Zhi to think that it does. He doesn't believe that he can't fight against God.

Zhao Changyu forcefully asked someone to help Zhao Zhi back to his room to rest.

Zhao Zhi had no time to say anything, so he could only go back and lie down silently.

After taking the medicine for three days, Zhao Zhi could hardly open his eyes, but it only slowed down the time of his death.

Zhao Zhi felt very cold. It was obviously the end of summer, and Zhao Changyu was only wearing cool summer clothes, but he still felt cold even though he was covered with two quilts.

Zhao Zhi finally couldn't help but speak again, "Father, my son doesn't have much time left. I want to ask you three things."

Zhao Changyu finally stopped stopping Zhao Zhi from speaking. He sat on the edge of the bed and cried silently. After a while, he choked up and said, "Say."

Zhao Zhi said softly: "The first thing I want to do is to ask my father to take care of himself. The lunch box is to send his son away as happily as he sent it to his grandmother, okay?"

Zhao Changyu twitched his lips and said, "When people outside hear this, I'm afraid they will think that I am unfilial."

Zhao Zhi chuckled and said: "Father has always been transparent. Since life and death cannot be changed, it is better to face it calmly."

The dull pain in Zhao Changyu's heart subsided a little, and he forced a smile and asked, "What about the second thing?"

"The second thing is my son's two children. Hezhen is young and Erlang is still in his infancy. I can't watch them grow up. I ask my father to educate them well."

Zhao Changyu agreed.

Zhao Zhi: "The third item is Lihua. She is still young. If she can meet her husband in the future, please ask her father to prepare a generous dowry for her and take care of her. If she is willing to stay at home and raise her children, Please also ask father to take more care of her."

"I had selfish motives for dragging her into the quagmire of our family. She has been wronged over the years. Unexpectedly, her son's health is not up to par, and she has been wronged even more."

Zhao Changyu comforted him and said: "Don't think about it. It may not be a bad thing for her to marry you. The Wang family tradition is getting worse. Look at her cousins, how many of them married well, especially the marriages after she got married?" , you feel you have wronged her, but you don’t know how lucky she is to marry you."

Zhao Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Father, why are you comparing me downwards? Why can't you compare me upwards?"

Zhao Changyu stopped talking. He was rarely mean to others, but he couldn't help but be mean at this moment. His son was so good, who could not deserve him?

However, his son was like this, and Zhao Changyu didn't want him to be anxious, so he agreed to all three of his requests.

Although he was well prepared, Zhao Changyu was still in great pain when Zhao Zhizhen died of illness.

They were clearly mentally prepared, but they still couldn't accept Zhao Zhi's death.

It's just a cold wind, why is it like this?

For the first time, Zhao Changyu was devastated by the death of a relative. From then on, he acted more severely and less generously than before.

Cold food powder is now popular, and some people in the increasingly powerful Zhao family are joining in the fun and taking it.

After Zhao Changyu found out, he sent his troops to inspect and destroy all Hanshi Powder. He also locked up all those who smoked and quit smoking. He also strictly ordered that anyone in the clan who smokes Hanshi Powder will be severely punished!

The lighter punishment is fines and education; the severe punishments include extermination of the clan.

In addition, Zhao Changyu used his privileges for the first time to inform the county magistrates of Xiping and Shangcai counties and ordered them to prohibit the circulation of cold food powder in the two counties. He even inspected the drug stores in the two counties and removed the cold food powder inside. All destroyed.

The drug store selling Hanshi Powder suffered heavy losses, and the people in the clan who took Hanshi Powder also suffered heavy losses.

Everyone knew that Zhao Changyu was angry because of Zhao Zhi's death. Who knew that Zhao Zhi got caught in the rain because he was dragged to the banquet, but because the host gathered people to drink cold food powder at the banquet, he left the party in anger, and met him unexpectedly. It rained in spring, and it was the time when spring returned to cold in those days. When it rained, he fell ill.

Because there were too many people taking Hanshi Powder, and most of them were famous people, most of the disciples of the Wang family, the head of the noble clan, were taking it, as well as many other clans. The Zhao family didn't want to offend these families, so they hid the matter.

Even if there were children in the clan who were tortured by him, no one dared to publicize it.

But not publicizing it doesn't mean they have no resentment at all.

So when Zhao Erlang was five years old and didn't know a word, the resentment that had been accumulated for many years suddenly poured out on Zhao Erlang and Wang's mother and son.

Back then, after Zhao Changyu reorganized the family, there were rumors in Xiping and Shangcai that the Wang family had to forcefully suppress the family.

She lost her mother when she was young, which shows that she suppressed her mother; not long after she married into the Zhao family, Mrs. Wang passed away, then her father, and now her husband, and all her relatives were almost dead. This is not a renunciation. What?

As soon as the rumors started to take shape, Zhao Changyu reprimanded the clan members, calling them ignorant, yet cruel and shameless.

No one in the clan dared to discuss it openly.

But after Zhao Erlang studied hard but had no results, and was determined to be a fool like Emperor Hui, the rumors that had been suppressed before suddenly broke out, pressing on the Wang family from all directions like a flood.
