Li Zhonghua's throne has not yet been secured, and bad news has been transmitted to Chang'an one after another.

In January of the first year of China, Li Xi, the king of Liang, erected a counter-flag in the fiefdom of Qizhou, declared Li Zhonghua a traitor of the Tang Dynasty, and everyone was punished for it, and called the Empress Dowager Changsun a sinner of the Tang Dynasty, and buried the Tang Dynasty to outsiders.

In February of the first year of China, Li Yun, the king of Chiang, also erected the banner of rebellion, and quickly captured several surrounding state cities.

In March of the first year of China, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, who was known as Li Zhonghua, also declared Li Zhonghua, the emperor, invalid and established himself as king.

……

There are many veterans who followed the rebellion of the King of Hejian County, especially those in the Li clan.

The structural reform that Li Zhonghua devoted himself to when he was not yet emperor seriously harmed the interests of these people.

At that time, they could still fight, and Li Zhonghua didn't dare to show too much in front of them, which would give everyone a little face.

But now that Li Zhonghua is already the emperor, the system change will definitely be implemented thoroughly, and their interests will not be able to be preserved.

At this time, if someone rebels, of course they have to give it a go, and it is logical to take refuge in the few princes who have rebelled.

The Tang Dynasty fell into turmoil for a while.

Fortunately, after Li Zhonghua ascended the throne, he had already anticipated this situation and ordered Xue Rengui to stop the attack on Goguryeo and retreat to the Yalu River.

He also ordered Luo Tong to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses back to the vicinity of Chang'an to stand by.

At the same time, he also ordered Cheng Chubi and Qin Shoudao, who were stationed in the Subi State, to lead 100,000 people each into Shannan Province to stand by.

As for the strength to defend the palace, he has deployed a large number of Chinese guards recruited by himself, and only his own people are the most trustworthy and the most reliable people.

Although the actual situation was more serious than he expected, the previous preparation still made him feel a lot more relaxed.

Because of sufficient preparations, no matter where the anti-flag was erected, troops and horses could be dispatched to pounce on it as quickly as possible to quickly put down the rebellion.

Although Li Zhonghua suddenly became the emperor of the world in this way, it was incredible to everyone in the world.

But it cannot be denied that he is now the orthodox emperor of the Tang Dynasty, representing the entire Tang Dynasty.

No matter how noisy other people are, under the banner of justice, but anti-thieves are anti-thieves, so the appeal is very limited, at least the people have their own ability to discriminate, and they will not blindly follow these people to rebel.

The current Tang Dynasty, after decades of development of Zhenguan, the so-called rule of Zhenguan is not called in vain, and the problem of food and clothing for the people has basically been solved.

Due to the rise of industry and commerce, a large amount of tax revenue was contributed to the imperial court, so the burden on the shoulders of the common people was much lighter.

In addition, after Li Zhonghua ascended the throne, he even passed on the decree to the world to greatly reduce the agricultural tax of the common people, and announced that the agricultural tax will be gradually reduced in the future, and it is expected that the agricultural tax will be completely exempted in the future, and the central finance of the imperial court may even provide money to subsidize the common people to farm.

What kind of situation is this? The simple explanation is that in the future, farming is likely to not have to pay any taxes, and the imperial court will also give farmers who farm a certain amount of money to subsidize the income of farmers.

Such a good emperor, of course the common people want to support him, why should they oppose him?

As for saying that the identity of this emperor is unorthodox, does this have anything to do with the common people? Who is good to the common people? Of course, the common people will support whoever is the emperor.

Without the support of the common people, it is simply impossible to succeed in the rebellion.

Which change of dynasty is not because the people are forced to live anymore, and after someone comes out to rebel, they will blindly follow the rebellion.

If everyone is living a good life, with food and drink, why should everyone rebel at the risk of being killed?

Besides, soldiers are not stupid! Many generals in the army, their families are in their hometowns, and many generals who lead troops to fight are in Chang'an City.

If they really follow these princes to rebel wholeheartedly, will their families still survive?

Even if Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, has great prestige and strong appeal, but this kind of thing of rebellion, after all, is something that cannot be put on the table, and it is really a bit unjustifiable, so it is doomed to fail.

This time, the implication can be said to be very big, the brothers and sons of Emperor Taizong, as well as the nephews and nephews of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, the eldest princess and other people in the royal family, have affected a large area.

Li Zhonghua also had a headache about the handling of these people, it stands to reason that he can deal with such a big crime as rebellion as he wants, kill all these people, and it is not too much to punish their three clans.

Of course, it's impossible to punish the three clans, so isn't that counting yourself in?

Although these people are a bit of a bastard, but they suddenly became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, these former imperial relatives, especially the sons and daughters of Emperor Taizong Li Shi, they couldn't figure it out for a while, and it was difficult to accept such a fact, which actually made sense.

But if they are dealt with too lightly, they will not be able to deter the others.

And because of their rebellious behavior, many casualties have already been caused, and even greater impact is yet to come.

Therefore, the punishment for them cannot be too light.

"Does Your Majesty have something on your mind? If you can, you might as well talk to the mourners. The Empress Dowager said with a kind smile.

"The Queen Mother, the rebel forces in various places have almost been pacified, and the kings of the clans and counties who participated in the rebellion, except for those who have committed suicide in fear of crime, have also been escorted back to Beijing." Li Zhonghua nodded and said.

Li Zhonghua has always respected the Empress Dowager of the eldest grandson, and after Princess Jinyang married him, Li Zhonghua treated her as his own mother.

He has been for more than ten years, and he has no way to dream of returning to his parents a thousand years later, and he can't fulfill his filial piety.

And looking at this situation, he will die of old age in the Tang Dynasty in this life, and the Empress Dowager of the eldest grandson is really as good to him as her mother, not only marrying her favorite daughter, Princess Jinyang, to him, but now letting him sit on the emperor's seat.

Li Zhonghua thinks that he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, so deep down he is also true, and he has respected the Empress Dowager of the eldest grandson as his mother.

"It's difficult for you, the family has family rules, the country has national laws, and when they raised the flag to rebel, they had already taken into account the consequences after the defeat, so Your Majesty can deal with it in the previous way, and you don't have to worry about mourning the family.

If they really succeeded in their rebellion and occupied this palace, would they be willing to give up on His Majesty and open their hearts? The Empress Dowager eldest grandson said with a flash in her eyes.

Li Zhonghua nodded heavily, if he was successfully rebelled by those people, the fate of him and his family would definitely be extremely miserable, even the eldest grandson Empress Dowager would definitely be implicated by him, and there would be no good end.

In all dynasties, political struggles have been extremely cruel, and sometimes if you can't bear it, you will leave endless troubles for yourself.

As an emperor, he must always be vigilant to himself, and when dealing with enemies, he must not have the kindness of a woman.
