How did Yao Qi die in the Eastern Han Dynasty?

In 34 AD (the tenth year of Jianwu), he died young.

During the americium (yáo) period, he was big and dignified. His father, Meng Yong, was a county magistrate in Guiyang. After Meng Yan died, he mourned for his father for three years. Therefore, Xiao's name is heard everywhere and his neighbors respect him very much.

In September of the first year of the new year, Liu Xuan, the first emperor, appointed Liu Xiu as the official minister and went to Luoyang to set up a palace. When Liu Xiu passed by his father's county, he was recommended by Feng Yi to join Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu had heard the name of loyalty and filial piety before, so he immediately appointed Cao Yu as a thief (official name, in charge of thieves).
