When the emperor passed away, the whole country was mourning. The news came to every corner of the Yuan Dynasty and it was time to write the days. However, the Yuan Dynasty court has suffered too many things and is overwhelmed. He left behind the last words of Emperor Yuan, and kept everything simple. The emperor's death knives rang, and the Ministry of Rites was already familiar with it and organized in an orderly manner.

Listening to the crying, Qing Jin shook his head, really not wanting to disturb their loyalty and filial piety, but it was of great importance and could not afford to delay.

"Leave the funeral to the Ministry of Rites, Axi, come here first." The voice was still a little cold and distant, but it was a little helpless.

The crying in the hall ended abruptly, and they knelt down one by one and turned their heads to look at the door. Fortunately, today it was not a loud red, with a green robe and a white fur, which was quite appropriate.

But what just said? As a veteran of two dynasties and the Minister of Rites, Mr. Yuan is most abiding by the rules and regulations. He saw that there was no rules and called him the new emperor. He also ordered the Ministry of Rites to do the job... Isn't this interfering in the government affairs? His white beard trembled a few times, and he didn't know what to say to face it. Before he could think about it, he watched the new emperor leave.

Everyone lowered their heads and took a deep breath, as if they had not heard of it, and continued to do loyalty and filial piety.

"Let each department temporarily... pause it, and hand it over to the Ministry of Rites here, which is of great importance." It is really an unexpected situation in the world, life and death are important, but it is ultimately a major event for the country.

Seeing her so serious, thinking that something she said when she came was about, it must be really important. The father and son minister were unfilial, so he turned around and stepped into the bedroom, "Old Yuan, my father, I'll ask you now. All the ministers asked Yongtai Hall to discuss matters." Before he ascended the throne, he was not a king, so he could only ask rather than order.

In the shock of Mr. Yuan, Mr. Luo stood up and took the lead. When the others saw this, they dared to stand up. As a minister, he should not be so rude, but he can be given lightness or power.

Qin Yuexi and everyone went to Yongtai Hall. Before Qing Jin left, he greeted Bai Zhaoyi, and put the mourning hall and gifts in the back hall to send white charcoal. It would be impossible for a king of a country to have a national funeral.

When the officials saw Qing Jin entering Yongtai Hall, they also brought a half-year-old boy with an indescribable expression. Anyway, there was a female general, and it was not too abrupt to have a female county lord. They were light on things and followed power... and light on things and power.

Yongtai Hall is not a court hall, but only the place where His Majesty works on weekdays. The main seat is a long seat, and two rows of short long tables are placed on both sides. When Qin Yuexi's color is received, Qingjin waved to Min Qingtian.

Min Qingtian immediately sent a small picture that had been holding in his arms to Qin Yuexi.

Qin Yuexi took it and spread it on the table. Qingjin walked over, bent down at the long table, pointed to the small picture and said, "This picture is the topographic map of Qiangcheng Pass on the northern border. Qiangcheng is a defense gate in the northern border of Dayuan. It must not be missed. There is a wide Ten-Xihuan River in front of Qiangcheng. The rivers are fast and the two sides can only pass by a bridge. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, in recent years, Beiji has been trying to capture it but failed. In previous years, the Ten-Xihuan River was severe and the thickest and freezing was only more than one foot. However, the weather was abnormal this year. The heavy snow in the north was far longer than the imperial city, and it was even bigger and the freezing was more than three feet."

Speaking of this, Qin Yuexi doesn’t understand anything, “I can get over any bridge if I freeze three feet, and I can get over any military force.”

"Does Lord Lou remember when it started snowing from the Ministry of War?" Qin Yuexi reacted so quickly that the people on the side couldn't help but nod.

Lou Jiuge immediately stood up, "I remember, it's been more than a month." Sure enough, I don't know if the Qiang City garrison and the general guarding the city were prepared to deal with it.

"Your Highness, the river water is less than three feet freezing in January, but it is hard to say if the snow continues like this." If she is right, it will be difficult to defend Qiang City. The combat strength of the Dayuan officers and soldiers in winter is far less than that of Beiji. If this natural danger is gone, Luo Lixun will become more and more serious.

Old Luo had known it for a long time and was worried. Zhang Hantong, Yu Qin and others were thinking that most of the three departments in the court were empty and there was no leader, especially the Ministry of War. If the food and grass and military supplies were in chaos, what should we do if there was something wrong on the border?

Qin Yueyuan looked at everyone's expressions, with a worried look on his face and sighed inwardly. This is what the court should be like. "Second brother, we even know that the people of Beiji must have thought of it for a long time. They might be waiting for the river to freeze to a certain extent to attack them. At present, they don't know how General Zhou and Lord Yuan and others arranged it. There are so many things happening in the court. If there is news over there, the morale of the army will be unstable and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Your Highness, please choose an auspicious day as soon as possible to ascend the throne to govern the government." Mr. Luo stood up and asked you. If all these matters continue, there must be a charter, an imperial edict, and the general affairs of each department will have an imperial approval.

Everyone stood up together, and this matter was really undesirable.

"I think tomorrow will be good. Today is up, tomorrow is the beginning of the new year." Dayuan just needed a start, Qingjin seemed to be nothing, his eyes always fell on the small picture, and he said casually.

"The day of the first is really great!" Bai Yunxi felt it was very good and agreed.

Mr. Luo nodded and touched his beard, "The country cannot be without a king for a day, but the Ministry of Rites is afraid that it will be too busy for a while, so he can only keep everything simple. Tomorrow, the old minister can do it."

Everyone also felt that it was very good, so the day of the new king of Dayuan was settled so, and they completely forgot that there were still many matters such as various rituals to discuss, but just a woman said casually.

Only Yaer knew that the lady just thought tomorrow was the fastest, so she felt it was very good. If it was still too late today, she was sure that the lady would say that today was very good.

Everyone handed over the matter of ascension to the Ministry of Rites to continue discussing matters in the northern border. After receiving the news, everyone was busy. Indeed, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Moreover, everything is in trouble now, and the new king needs to ascend the throne to calm people's hearts.

It was decided that the reasons for the Ministry of War will be temporarily under Luo Lixun's jurisdiction, and that the matters in the northern border will be resolved first, and that the other departments will make arrangements for registration before making a decision.

"General Zhou has been guarding the northern border for many years and is familiar with it, but he is afraid that he will not predict that the snow will fall for so long this year. I will go there in person while it is still time." Qin Yueyuan did not postpone the affairs of the Ministry of War. The important thing at this time is that Dayuan should not be allowed to be invaded by external sects again.

When Yu Qin heard that King Rong said this, he also echoed: "Your Highness, King Rong has stabilized his military spirit in the past. I think it is OK, but Your Majesty will not blame him." The father lost his son and traveled far away, and even ordinary people's homes could not be said, but now there is nothing to do.

"Second brother, if it is inconvenient for the fourth brother to go, can I go?" The fifth prince, who has always been unspeakable and still in the crowd, speaks.

Everyone looked at him, it was not because he had a weak sense of existence. The fifth prince was too young and it was also a matter of this year to attend the government affairs. He had never spoken in the court, so everyone naturally ignored it.

Qin Yuexi looked at this younger brother who rarely get along with him on weekdays. He was very pretty. He looked at him with a pair of eyes a little cautious, "You are also a prince, and he doesn't make it convenient for you, so let's go there, fifth brother, as a prince, you are already an adult. What do you think about the affairs in the court in the future? Just say your opinion bluntly." There is no need to be so timid.

The fifth prince Qin Yuemin's eyes lit up, nodded, but stopped talking.

Qing Jin frowned when he looked around. Longsheng's nine sons were different. The princes of the same royal family were divided into different levels. This prince was so timid, so he was afraid that his mother's family was weak.

"The grain is enough, please let someone carry some cotton clothes over. In addition, there are good solutions for the river to freeze. King Rong will be more prepared to deal with it." Qin Yuexi was thinking about the food and grass matters in Qiang City, and asked.

Usually, the river is frozen, and it is just a crushing ice, but how can it be crushed by more than three feet thick? The wider the river surface, the more difficult it is. Everyone fell into deep thought and thought about a solution to the countermeasure. Qing Jin began to think about this when he heard Min Xue's words.

"Try it with hot water and salt." Salt can melt snow, but it may not necessarily melt ice, so you can only try it.

Yes, salt can melt snow. But is ice OK? And where does so much salt come from? Salt is a precious thing, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money. This is used to melt ice, and it is useless if you don’t have any less.

"I tried it. Small pieces are OK. Although they are not fast, they are also effective. However, the north is colder. The ice on the river is definitely more difficult than this small piece, so I can't say whether it is feasible." She just gave her own opinions, and it would be best to avoid wars. First, the troops defending the city are limited, and secondly, even if they keep it, the losses will be great, which is a big problem for Dayuan at this time.

Qin Yuexi naturally knew what she used to, because she didn't want Dayuan to bear too much pressure at this time. Once the glacier could be resolved, it would be impossible for Beiji to take action in the near future and could scrutinize it. Otherwise, once the hole was torn open, the people of Beiji would take advantage of the victory to pursue it. News about Dayuan would be spread to all places within ten days.

"Since the county lord said this, it must be a bit useful, but if you use too much salt, you won't be able to call that much at the moment." Mr. Luo sighed. It is difficult for ordinary people to eat salt on weekdays, but the amount of salt is too small.

"A Jin, do you have a solution?" Otherwise, she would not have proposed this method.

Qing Jin nodded, the salt was ready-made, "The three ships of the last Mushan robbery should have not moved yet."

It is not suitable to sail in winter, and it snows early this year, so the boat temporarily stopped there at that time. It can save half of the journey from Jiangkou to the north. God has invisibly helped Dayuan.

Everyone finally showed a slouchy look on their faces. After the matter was resolved, the rest was easy to say. They couldn't help but look at Qing Jin. The county lord must have thought of these things long ago and thought of solutions to them. He was really far-sighted. Not only did he think of Emperor Yongyuan's last words before the temporary period. It was really too strong. But as a powerful minister, he could not be a descendant, and interfere in politics in the harem, there were too many lessons recorded in history.

"Fourth brother, go and kowtow to your father. The father will understand. After tomorrow's ceremony, take a team of people to set off immediately. Jiangkou will quickly whip out to letters, unload the ship and load the car, and change to land to transport it to Qiangcheng. The fourth brother will probably have to work hard all the way, and he will travel day and night, and arrive before the salt reaches low." We must seize the time and add more risks to one day.

"Don't worry, second brother." At this time, this hard work should be borne by the prince.

Qing Jin saw that the matter had already settled, but he couldn't relax. This was just a matter of heavy snow, not a crisis in Qiang City. More than half of the territory of Dayuan would endure this natural disaster that was rare in a century. It was not advisable to tell the court officials that once it spread, people would be uneasy and more likely to have problems.
