There was a topic of debate in the medical community in later generations, that is, what exactly was the reason that caused the three-Duke of Dayuan to have a stroke on the 18th day of the first lunar month of the sixth year of Jian'an? Who is the biggest responsible person? Countless medical experts and professors published long-form research, experience, thinking, exploration, and published terrifying papers on this topic, earning countless royalties. Many ordinary doctors also made a splash because of their unique insights on this topic, quickly joining the ranks of brick-makers and creating an innumerable overnight fame myth.

There are many different opinions, but there are only three recognized largest suspects. The first one is of course the unfilial son-in-law, Deputy Director Tao. Many medical experts who are proficient in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases pointed out that it was precisely because of Deputy Director Tao's vicious intention that he deliberately encouraged Da Yuan Sangong, who had obvious symptoms of hypertension, to eat more high-sodium foods, high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, and ginseng supplements that are harmful and useless to patients with hypertension, which led to the worsening of Da Yuan Sangong's condition and laid a solid foundation for Da Yuan Sangong's sudden stroke.

There is almost a consensus on this point, but some bricks also pointed out that after the crushing defeat in Guandu and Xuchang, Da Yuan Sangong vomited blood twice because of his anger. In fact, it showed signs of aggravation of hypertension. Therefore, even if Deputy Director Tao did not give Da Yuan Sangong the food that was not conducive to the condition of hypertension, Da Yuan Sangong had a stroke only sooner or later.

Of course, the above is just the opinions of some bricks. More conscientious medical authorities pointed out that Deputy Director Tao also flatly rejected the request to send troops to Runan, greatly angering the Grand Duke of Yuan San who made this request. The Grand Duke of Yuan San, who was angry with a hot temper, had a strong liver fire. In his roar, he also had signs of impolite stroke, and then the condition broke out. Therefore, Deputy Director Tao was the unquestionable culprit and a model of unfilial son-in-law!

Some scholars also believe that Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan are the biggest suspects, and some scholars believe that Yuan Xi was not successful enough and was defeated by the Cao army, which stimulated the nerves of the Sangong of Yuan that were so fragile that it could not be more fragile, causing the emotions of Yuan Sangong of Yuan to change drastically and the mood fluctuations were too large. This caused the condition to break out. Therefore, Mr. Yuan Xi was the biggest suspect.

Some of the brick beasts were unwilling to be confused by appearances, and conducted the most careful study of the situation at that time, and studied the weight of the clothes on the Da Yuan Sangong at that time, and the origin of the ink used by Chen Lin to pick up the pen. There was also Cui Yan's athletic foot condition and Mr. Guo Tu's severity of bad breath. An important detail that was almost forgotten was discovered. That is, Mr. Yuan Tan suddenly opened the door and caused a cold wind mixed with snowflakes to rush into the room. At that time, a raging charcoal fire was growing in the room. Mr. Yuan Sangong encountered a sudden drop in temperature in a warm environment, and the space temperature suddenly changed drastically, and the blood vessels on the surface of the body contracted a large area, causing blood pressure to rise sharply, which led to the aggravation of the condition and stroke. Therefore, Mr. Yuan Tan was the real murderer of his father!

Let’s not mention how to argue in later generations. Who is the real murderer who harmed Da Yuan Sangong for the time being ignored. In short, more than a dozen famous doctors in the world have been struggling for almost a day and a night. When they finally woke Da Yuan Sangong, Da Yuan Sangong could no longer say a complete sentence. His left hand and left foot were barely able to move, but his right half of his body completely lost consciousness, and he was as stiff as wood. Even if he forced to speak, he said some vague sounds that were incomprehensible. He was extremely weak and could not take care of himself even if he had to take care of himself. He showed typical symptoms of hemiplegia that could not be more typical!

"Dear medical officers, how about it? Can the lord recover?"

After trying countless times, I saw that the Grand Duke Yuan San was able to say some vague words at all and that Cui Yan, who had no idea of ​​understanding and had bloodshot eyes, could only place his hope on the imperial physicians, and with a glimmer of hope to ask the dozen imperial physicians present whether there was still hope of recovering from the health of the Grand Duke Yuan San. However, what made the loyal ministers of Grand Duke Yuan San such as Cui Yan and Tao Sheng despair and nervous was that whether it was the imperial physician order, the imperial physician, the imperial physician, the Yao Cheng, the Fang Cheng, or the ordinary imperial physician, they were all silent and depressed, and they did not dare to call this guarantee.

As expected, Cui Yan asked repeatedly, the Imperial Physician Ling replied hesitantly: "The Prime Minister's disease is a stroke and stroke. There is no precedent for curing it since ancient times. Even if he can be rescued, it will be difficult to speak clearly, inconvenient to speak, hemiplegia, and severely, he will never stand up again, and his life sperm will be greatly reduced."

"The Prime Minister is also lucky." The Imperial Physician Prime Minister added: "This disease is very serious. Seven or eight out of ten dead people. It is already a blessing for the Prime Minister to be able to save him."

Cui Yan was so desperate that he almost collapsed on the ground. Tao Sheng, Chen Lin and Yin Kui looked so depressed that they almost cried. Yuan Tan, Guo Tu, Xin Pi, Feng Ji and Li Fu and others on the other side had different expressions. Young Master Yuan Tan pretended to be sad, but he had a joy in his eyes that he could not hide anything. Feng Ji and Li Fu, two members of the three princes, were nervous, and their eyes were rolling around and didn't know what to do. Let me introduce it. At this time, Young Master Yuan Shang was not in Xuchang City, but was ordered to return to Jizhou to welcome his mother, his younger brother moved to Xuchang, and gathered Jiyou army to move to Xuchang to launch the next southern battle.

"Then please bother all the medical officers to treat the Prime Minister." Cui Yan's voice was so hoarse that he couldn't even hear it clearly, and he said, "Do whatever possible, try to make the lord speak again."

The imperial physicians bowed their hands and sang their promises, and the imperial physician Order suggested: "Shu Cui, as far as the officials know, Mr. Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing of Nanyang are good at treating typhoid fever, and have also studied the diseases of stroke. There is a section in his medical book "Jinkui Yaolue" that specifically introduces the treatment methods of stroke patients. I heard that he is teaching medical skills in Xuzhou. If Shangshu Cui can ask him to treat the prime minister, he should have great hope to make the lord speak again."

"Thank you for your advice from the medical officer." Cui Yan was overjoyed and quickly turned to Chen Lin beside him and ordered: "Mr. Kong Zhang, please write a book to Xuzhou Tao Envoy immediately and introduce it to him clearly. Please send someone to send Mr. Zhang Zhongjing to Luoyang to ask for the Prime Minister's pulse."

Chen Lin agreed, but Mr. Yuan Tan was anxious and stopped him. Then Mr. Yuan Tan said angrily: "Cui Jigui, are you confused? My father is so sick that he even let Tao Ying know about this immediately. What if Tao Ying Xiaozhe took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?"

"If Envoy Tao wanted to take advantage of the situation, he would have done this when he took Xuchang." Cui Yan said with a stern face: "Besides, the Prime Minister is so sick, Envoy Tao will know about this sooner or later. Instead of hiding the news, it is better to openly invite the famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing, so that the Prime Minister has hope of recovery. Mr. Kong Zhang, please make a book immediately."

"Stop!" Mr. Guo Tu said furiously: "The Prime Minister is critically ill. The eldest son is still there. You Cui Yan are only a few of the Shangshu's right servants, and your position is still below my left servants. What qualifications are you to issue a commander? Make the decision for the Prime Minister and the eldest son?"

Cui Yan pursed his lips, and then realized that he was a little overbearing in despair. He hurriedly bowed to Yuan Tan and said, "Grand Prince forgive me for being a crime. I have been arbitrary. But the Prime Minister is in a state of illness. I also asked the eldest prince to immediately order and send someone to inform the Tao envoy of Xuzhou. Please come to Xuchang quickly to treat the Prime Minister."

Mr. Yuan Tan was a little hesitant, and Mr. Guo Tu quickly attached himself to Yuan Tan's ear and muttered a few words. Mr. Yuan Tan then said: "This matter is very important, and I need to discuss it carefully with everyone. I will immediately block the inside and outside of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Any idle people are strictly prohibited from entering and leaving. Those who know my father's condition will stay in the mansion to take care of my father. I will make the decision on foreign affairs!"

Cui Yan had no choice but to agree, but at this moment, Mr. Xinpi suddenly screamed, "Where is Feng Ji and Li Fu? Why are they missing?"

Cui Yan looked up in surprise, and then he realized that Feng Ji and Li Fu were gone. He didn't know when they sneaked out of the room. Young Master Yuan Tan was furious and immediately ordered Qin Sheng to send someone to chase him. He also ordered Feng Ji and Li Fu to be taken without saying anything and immediately put him in prison. Tao Sheng had no choice but to accept the promise and secretly ordered his guards not to hurt Feng Ji and Li Fu at will. Then Young Master Yuan Tan ordered Qin Shengyan to block the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he hurried to the secret room to discuss matters with Guo Tu and Xinpi, leaving Cui Yan, Chen Lin and others in the ward of the Grand Duke of Yuan San, with big eyes facing Xiaoyan, with helpless and disappointed.

After sighing, Cui Yan turned around and saw the Grand Duke Yuan San on the hospital bed. What surprised and distressed Cui Yan was that the Grand Duke Yuan San muttered in his throat for a long time, and two tears slowly oozed out of his turbid old eyes. Seeing these two tears, Cui Yan couldn't help but burst into tears and choked and said, "Lord, you are a tiger father, dog son!"

The evaluation of the tiger father and dog son may not be correct enough. At least Mr. Yuan Tan strongly seized the great opportunity that his father was seriously ill and his two older brothers were not in Xuchang City. While blocking the news that Yuan Sangong was seriously ill, he couldn't wait to take over the power of Xuchang. He immediately arranged for his confidants Lu Xiang and Cen Bi to take over the defense of Xuchang City and the defense of the imperial city respectively. At the same time, he closed the arsenal and blocked the gates of Xuchang City to prohibit the entry and exit of officials and civilians. He quickly controlled the entire city of Xuchang.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Yuan Tan listened to Guo Tu's suggestion and took advantage of the reputation of the Three Dukes of the Great Yuan, sent three messengers to contact Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and the High-ranking Cast, and ordered Yuan Xi to hand over the army to his deputy commander Han Meng, and rushed back to Xuchang to discuss matters. The same is true for the senior officials stationed in northern Yanzhou. He ordered the senior officials to transfer military power to return to Xuchang to discuss matters quickly. Then he pretended that the Three Duke of the Great Yuan would be subject to Jiuxi, and ordered Yuan Shang to return to Xuchang immediately to participate in the ceremony. The military power of Jizhou was temporarily managed by Shen Pei and Meng Dai, and was preparing to trick these important competitors back to Xuchang and use force to surrender.

Although Mr. Yuan Tan and Guo Tu and Xin Pi had a good plan, unfortunately, things didn't go as they wished. Just when Guo Tu and Xin Pi were forging the letter from Da Yuan Sangong, Lu Kuang, who went to take over the city defense, sent someone to send bad news, saying that Feng Ji and Li Fu had escaped from the Xuchang city gate first and fled to Guandu on a fast horse. Master Yuan Tan was shocked when he heard the news, and quickly ordered his confidant Peng An to lead the 300 light cavalry out of the city to chase him. He also ordered that as long as he saw Feng Ji and Li Fu, he would be killed immediately without much effort. The news that Yuan Sangong was seriously ill should not be allowed to spread to Jizhou!

Of course, Mr. Yuan Tan's actions underestimated Feng Ji and Li Fu a little. As early as the afternoon of the previous day, when Mr. Yuan San had just suffered a stroke, Feng Ji and Li Fu, who had received the news, had already sent a secret envoy back to Jizhou to report the situation to Mr. Yuan Shang and Shen Pei. At this time, Feng Ji and Li Fu both went out of the city to escape, just to report more detailed news and escape. Therefore, even if Mr. Yuan Tan caught up with Feng Ji and Li Fu, it would not be possible to block the news that Mr. Yuan San had already suffered a stroke.

The next thing was even simpler. Although the imperial physicians in Xuchang City also tried their best to rescue Da Yuan Sangong. However, Da Yuan Sangong's illness was too serious and he could not speak or get up and walk. When Mr. Yuan Tan learned about this, he was not worried but happy. He quickly asked Guo Tu to discuss with Xin Pi and decided to forge Da Yuan Sangong's will and establish himself as the descendant of Yuan's family to inherit the great cause. Guo Tu and Xin Pi praised each other together. However, when Mr. Guo Tu took the pen to forge the will, news came from outside the door, saying that Cui Yan requested to meet. Mr. Yuan Tan had always been disliked Cui Yan. He was furious when he heard this. He said, "I won't see him, ask him to go back to take care of his father. If his father has any trouble, I will kill him to bury him!"

The guard took the order and left. But soon he returned to Mr. Yuan Tan. He bowed and said, "Report to the eldest son. Mr. Ji Gui refused to leave. He also said that he would like to ask the eldest son to see him. He was going to discuss with the eldest son about asking the eldest son to make the eldest son the heir."

"Cui Jigui is going to ask his father to make me his heir?" Mr. Yuan Tan was a little confused. He pinched his thigh and said in surprise: "I'm not dreaming, am I? Cui Jigui is actually ready to support me in inheriting my father's family business?"

"Young Master, of course you are not dreaming." Mr. Guo Tu smiled and said, "Cui Jigui is a smart person. When he is on the verge of life and death, he will naturally make smart choices. My subordinates think that the young master might as well accept his surrender. Cui Jigui is a famous scholar in Jizhou. He was born in a wealthy family in Jizhou and has great reputation in Jizhou. If the young master has his assistance, he doesn't have to worry too much about being a thief of the Jizhou family."

Mr. Yuan Tan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and hurriedly said, "Please invite Mr. Ji Gui, oh no, I will go to welcome Mr. Ji Gui in person."

When he went out happily to see Cui Yan, he had only been missing for a few hours. Cui Yan, who was haggard, seemed to have become much older again. Facing Mr. Yuan Tan's proactive tribute, Cui Yan did not return the tribute, but just asked in a weak tone: "Young Master, if Yan is not wrong, your secret talk with Lord Guo and Lord Xin should be discussing how to forge the will of the lord, right?"

The face of Mr. Yuan Tan's Yinjiu changed a little, and Guo Tuze forced a smile and said, "Mr. Ji Gui was joking? Is the lord's will? How could the young master and us do such a thing?"

Cui Yan showed some ridicule, then stopped his smile and said lightly: "Young Master, don't waste your hands and feet. Go to see your lord with me. I advise you to make your heir, and I also ask your lord to give you a real will."

"Mr. Ji Gui, what did you say?" Mr. Yuan Tan was shocked. Cui Yan didn't say anything, but turned around and left. Yuan Tan, Guo Tu and others looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and finally followed Cui Yan to the ward of Yuan Sangong.

When he entered the ward of the Grand Yuan Sangong, Grand Yuan Sangong lay on the hospital bed and moaned unconsciously. Tao Sheng, Chen Lin, Yin Kui and others were serving the marquis together. Cui Yan didn't say much, and walked straight to the sickbed of the Grand Yuan Sangong, kneeling down on his knees, and then solemnly said: "Lord, I'm brave enough to invite the Grand Prince for you, and I want to discuss with you the matter of establishing the heir to pass the throne."

The Grand Duke of Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, revealing some fierce light, and his throat stopped muttering. Tao Sheng, the chief guard next to him, was furious. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Cui Yan's collar and roared: "Cui Jigui, you are so brave. Your lord is still alive. How dare you ask your lord to pass the throne?!"

Cui Yan ignored it and said slowly to the Grand Duke Yuan San: "My lord, my subordinates know that this matter is too presumptuous, but for the sake of his lord's foundation and not giving outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of it, my subordinates have to presumptuously once. The imperial physician has said before, lord, you will never stand up, and you will never be able to speak. If you don't establish a successor immediately, wait until the princes' struggle to turn the matter upside down and fight to the death. If you want to pass the throne again, it will be too late. The foundation you have worked hard to create will be ruined."

The Third Duke of Yuan's eyes dimmed, and Cui Yan said again: "My lord, I know that you want to pass on the throne to the third prince. The Third Duke also has extraordinary features and may not be unable to inherit your foundation. But lord, the Third Duke is the youngest son after all. If you deposed the eldest son and established the youngest son, how can the eldest son and the second prince be willing to accept it? In order to inherit your family business, they must meet the third prince. When the brothers are in conflict and their brothers are tragic, Cao Thief will have the opportunity to rekindle. Liu Biao, Ma Teng and Liu Bei will take the opportunity to touch each other. Do you want to see these situations? "

"These people are pretty good, and they may not be able to shake the foundation you left behind by lord." Cui Yan shook his head in pain and said, "The most terrifying thing is Xuzhou Tao Ying, who is our most terrifying and dangerous enemy. The news brought back by Su You in the previous period was that the Xuzhou army had expanded to 300,000. What are you going to do? Apart from peeping at our land and cities and preparing to turn against our army to start a war. What else can be possible? Now the Xuzhou army is already strong, with a lot of soldiers and a lot of strategists, and the generals are drizzling. The young master and the others fight themselves. Isn't it giving him the chance to annex our army?"

The great Yuan Sangong, who knew it in his heart, closed his eyes and couldn't help but think of the advice Ju Su gave when he was dying. Deputy Director Tao was the most dangerous and terrifying enemy!

"Lord, my subordinates know that you don't like the eldest son." Cui Yan said sincerely again: "But the eldest son, he is the eldest son after all, and he inherits your foundation. He is justified. Even if the second son and the third son are unwilling to accept the moral superiority, they can only obey orders. So, lord, you can only pass the throne to the eldest son. Only by passing the throne to our army, city and land quickly. No opportunity for outsiders to take advantage of it."

Speaking of this, Cui Yan paused and said, "And the eldest son is not undesirable. When the ministers discussed with Mr. Ju Su who had already died in private, they all felt that the eldest son might not be the one who can be assisted. The eldest son does have a lot of problems, his personality is impulsive, irritable, just killing, narrow-minded, and vengeful, but he has an advantage, even you, you can't compare with the lord. This advantage of the eldest son is that he can listen to others' advice. As long as the ministers speak reasonably, the eldest son can obey the rules, and can make quick decisions and adopt them immediately."

"Not like you, lord." Cui Yan smiled bitterly and said, "My dearest man, you are not as indecisive as lord, when the situation is urgent, the eldest son can listen to the honest advice and make quick decisions, but lord, you are not as good as the eldest son. When you were in Guandu, if you could make quick decisions, either attack the Cao thief camp with all your strength, or return to rescue Wuchao with all your strength, instead of doing things separately and dispersing your own strength, how could we have suffered a crushing defeat in Guandu? Therefore, the minister believes that if the eldest son was the one who led the entire army at that time, our army would not lose in Guandu."

The Third Duke of Yuan was even more ashamed and closed his eyes tighter. Mr. Yuan Tan quietly showed joy, and still found that he was better than his father.

"Lord, my servant has said a lot, and I believe you have made a decision in your heart." Cui Yan said sincerely again: "I am asking you to pass on the eldest son to inherit your foundation. If you agree, please blink a few times. If you do not agree to pass the throne to the eldest son, please blink a few times."

The ward was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the haggard face of the Grand Duke Yuan Sangong. Mr. Yuan Tan was so nervous that his heart almost stopped beating. However, what made Mr. Yuan Tan despair was that Mr. Yuan refused to open his eyes and made a series of vague sounds in his throat. Although Cui Yan followed Mr. Yuan Sangong the shortest time, he guessed the most thoroughly about Mr. Yuan Sangong. He quickly asked tentatively: "Master, are you worried that the eldest prince will not be able to accommodate his brother after he ascended the throne?"

The Grand Duke of Yuan finally opened his eyes and blinked twice.

"Lord, then do you want the eldest son to swear in front of your sickbed, and swear that he will never hurt his brother?" Cui Yan asked again.

Grand Duke Yuan blinked twice again. Prince Yuan Tan was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to Grand Duke Yuan, and then respectfully made a heavy and poisonous oath, saying that if he was to pass the throne, he would never move a few brothers a hair, and also vowed to make the brothers rich and prosperous for life, and for the marquis for generations. It was not until Prince Yuan Tan made the smelly and long poisonous oath that Cui Yan asked Grand Duke Yuan again: "My lord, is that okay? Now I will ask the lord again, are you willing to pass the throne to the lord?"

The Grand Duke Yuan blinked twice and nodded with great difficulty.

Although the Grand Duke Yuan Sangong's movements were light, they were as violent as the sky collapsed and the earth broke into the eyes of Mr. Yuan Tan. In an instant, Mr. Yuan Tan was so happy that he didn't know what to say. He was so excited that his whole body trembled and trembled violently like a swaying man. Cui Yan kowtowed to Mr. Yuan Sangong and said calmly: "Thank you, Lord, to allow me to give me your request. Mr. Ju Su should be able to rest in peace under the nine springs."

After saying this, Cui Yan struggled to stand up and said to Guo Tu: "Mr. Gongze, please give me a letter to the lord. If necessary, Yan and Mr. Kong Zhang can make a secret as evidence."

Guo Tu agreed and hurriedly went to the side to draft the throne-passing document. Mr. Yuan Tan kowtowed three times to the Grand Duke Yuan San, then quickly got up, grabbed Cui Yan's hand, held it with both hands, and said happily: "Mr. Ji Gui, I will never forget your great contribution to support you. Please rest assured. As long as you do your best to assist me, I will treat you well and will never let you down."

"Mr. Xie, oh no, it should be Xie lord." Cui Yan nodded and said calmly: "Don't worry, since Yan has taken the salary of the two generations of lords, he should do his best to assist the new lord to repay the favor of the two generations of lords. However, the minister still has another request, and he also asked the lord to send an envoy to Xuzhou immediately, asking Mr. Zhang Zhongjing to come to Xuchang to treat the old lord, so as to relieve the pain and prolong his life as much as possible."
