"Your Majesty! Your Majesty the Queen!"

Chen Caijin quickly pulled his wife and daughter together and knelt down.

"Father-in-law, please stand up. Mother-in-law, please stand up quickly."

Gu Yiyan took a step forward and gave him some support.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Chen Caijin stood up, he didn't know what to say to his daughter. She used to be a rebellious person, but now she has suddenly become the queen.

"Qing'er."

Gu Qing was very happy to see her daughter and wanted to go over and get closer to her, but when she saw that she was wearing a phoenix robe, she stopped.

"Auntie, I've missed you so much during this period. Have you missed me?"

Chen Wanqing knew that she must be missing her daughter, so she deliberately walked towards her.

"I think it's great to have you by my daughter's side!"

When Gu Qing saw his daughter walking towards him, he couldn't help but hug her.

She didn't have a good time during this period. Chen Caijin was demoted, and everyone in the Chen family had some complaints about her, especially the first lady.

But now her suffering has finally paid off. Her daughter has become the queen, and now she can stand up straight and live her life as a human being.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I'm fine. We will all live well in the future."

Chen Wanqing also hugged her before greeting the eldest lady, "Mother, how are you!"

"Hello, Queen!"

Madam Chen also hurriedly gave her a return gift. She had not been very nice to Aunt Gu during this period. Now that her daughter has become the queen, she was a little worried that the queen would come to settle the score with her.

"Okay, Wanqing, come here."

Gu Yiyan reached out to hold her hand.

Chen Wanqing walked over and gave him her hand.

This time there was a master of ceremonies, the nearly 90-year-old Master Hua, the teacher of the late emperor.

Soon they had another wedding.

After all the formalities were completed once again, Chen Wanqing was really exhausted.

"I'm really tired and need to rest."

She didn't care what other plans Gu Yiyan had, she just fell on the bed and fell asleep.

"Wife, tonight is our wedding night, and we haven't officially entered the bridal chamber yet."

Gu Yiyan quickly sent all the palace maids away, but when he went to bed, he found that his little woman was already asleep.

"It seems that I really tired you out today, but I won't let you get tired again in the future."

Gu Yiyan had no choice but to hold her in his arms, cover her with the quilt and go to sleep.

The next day, just as Gu Yiyan got up, General Pan and General Long came over together.

"Your Majesty! A large number of peasants in Hezhou Prefecture and Wanqing Prefecture have rebelled, saying they want justice for Gu Luoyan.

Your Majesty, should we destroy them or subdue them?"

General Pan asked.

"My dear ministers, please rise up. Have you found out who led this group? How many people are there in total?"

Gu Yiyan needs to understand clearly before making a judgment.

"There are nearly 20 people in Hezhou Prefecture, and more than in Wanqing Prefecture. Moreover, there are always some people ready to make a move. Your Majesty, we'd better make preparations early."

General Long was a little worried.

When Gu Yiyan heard about so many people, he became a little worried. If so many people were killed, other countries would definitely take advantage of this to cause trouble.

By then, even if the internal strife is quelled, it will be difficult to resist external strife.

"My husband, don't worry. It's just ordinary people who are rebelling. As long as you let them live better than before, they will naturally not rebel again."

Seeing that he had a frown on his face, Chen Wanqing wanted to help him.

"What good plan does my wife have? Tell me about it."

Gu Yiyan quickly pulled her to sit next to him.

"Let the two generals kill their leader quietly first, and the others won't be a problem.

As for how to make them live a good life, the new emperor was kind and caring about the world, so he exempted all taxes for the people of Gu State for three years.

Give the people three years, and they will surely be able to live a better life, and then they will thank the emperor for his kindness."

Chen Wanqing said as she went to sit down next to Gu Yiyan.

"How can this be possible? Without taxes, how can we feed our soldiers?"

When General Long heard the Queen's words, he was frightened and cried out. You know, all their military salaries came from taxes from all over the country.

Without taxes, there would be no way to feed the army. Without an army, how could the emperor fight wars? How could he govern the country?

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

After hearing this, General Pan knelt down. How did their troops survive for three years?

Even Gu Yiyan frowned after hearing this, "Wife, I'm afraid this won't work. All the gold and silver in the treasury now can't support all kinds of expenses in a year, let alone three years.

If we don't have money to support the army, the consequences will be even more troublesome, not to mention the civil and military officials in the court.

All of a country's expenditures are supported by taxes, so a three-year tax cut may not work."

"Husband, how much silver does Guguo need for total expenditure in a year?"

Chen Wanqing didn't get angry when she saw that they didn't believe her. After all, this was a big deal, and it was normal for them to be a little bit unconvinced.

"It's about 2 million taels, and we also need food for the soldiers, which will also require more than 5 million taels."

Gu Yiyan gave a rough figure. After all, he had not yet ascended the throne for a year, so there was no definite figure yet.

"My husband, if I give you so much grain and silver, can you reduce the taxes?"

Chen Wanqing felt that if she had the manpower, earning the money and food should not be a problem.

"Wife, I really want to believe you, but it's really hard. Even I don't dare to think so."

Gu Yiyan directly expressed what was in his mind. It was not a question of whether or not to believe her, but that it was impossible for a woman like her to earn so much money.

"Empress! Even if the Emperor loves you very much, you can't take it. It's wrong to make fun of the entire Gu Kingdom."

General Long couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he knelt down and spoke.

"Yes! Your Majesty, the Emperor is now the ruler of a country, and nothing can be joked about.

Besides, the queen is pregnant with a little prince, so every decision you make should be made for the sake of the little prince."

General Pan knew that the emperor loved this woman very much, but he still wanted to stop it. He didn't dare to say it clearly, so he could only talk about the child.

"I know you don't believe what I said now, so give me three days. After three days, I will let you see that I can do what I said today."

Chen Wanqing pulled Gu Yiyan's hand and said again, "Husband, can you give me three days?"

"And in two years, I will make sure that all the people in Gu will never go hungry again, because I can grow 800 kilograms of food per acre."
