Rebellions emerged from Henan Road and Huainan Road.
Although it did not harm the Tang Dynasty to the point of changing dynasties.
But it really caused Datang's Eastern Three Paths to suffer heavy losses.
In particular, the water transportation industry was almost wiped out.
Fortunately, the major water transport giants in the contemporary era are all members of the imperial court.
Otherwise, I'm afraid everyone will be defeated by this rebellion.
And these are not important. What is important is that the court has lost some people's hearts and trust.
It’s not like there were no rebellions in the Tang Dynasty before, and the Shu region is still in chaos even now.
But the places where the rebellion occurred were Liangzhou, Shu, or remote areas in the south.
If rebellion occurs in those places, the people on the border will suffer, and it will not affect the operation of the court.
But this time the rebellion occurred in the Central Plains, which was equivalent to the heart of the Tang Dynasty.
This really makes many people in Sandao no longer dare to believe that the imperial court can guarantee their safety.
Of course.
This is also a good thing for the court.
Because anyone with a discerning eye can see the mastermind of this rebellion.
It is these three clans that are blocking it and supporting the rebels.
You must know that Henan, Huainan, and Jiangnan have the most aristocratic families, and they also have the most complicated relationships.
Many people in the imperial court have received favors from these aristocratic families.
Many are even related to them by marriage.
On weekdays, Li Shimin couldn't handle them if he wanted to.
But this time it was better, basically it was all done in one fell swoop, and the greatest thing was achieved at the least cost.
Of course, this does not mean that it can be uprooted.
But at least it would give Li Shimin a reason to pull out some of the most disobedient families and kill them.
This can also serve as a warning to other people.
Of course, the most important point is that after the rebellion in the east is suppressed now, all the power of the Tang Dynasty can be concentrated to deal with the rebellion in Shu.
And Shu is the hardest bone to crack.
This is not only because of the terrain of Shu, but also related to Li Ke's identity.
After all, not everyone has the courage to kill the son of the current emperor.
How many people are as brave as Cheng Yaojin and are not afraid of the emperor settling accounts later?
Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this matter will most likely fall on Gao Zhixing, who is under Li Chengqian's hand, in the end.
Only he is the most suitable candidate.
But the premise is that Li Chengqian must be present.
Only when he is present can this war be properly resolved.
At the very least, Li Shimin doesn't have to take the blame.
But now Li Chengqian is not in the mood to take the blame for his father.
After all, his wife, sister, and grandfather haven't coaxed him well, so he doesn't want to go there.
There was Gao Zhixing in front of him, and he was very relieved about this. He believed that Gao Zhixing had the absolute ability to prevent Li Ke from leaving Shu.
But he can’t move if he doesn’t want to.
Now the whole world is watching.
The sooner this war ends, the better it will be for the court to restore public trust.
Li Shimin also sent three transfer orders a day urging Li Chengqian to go to the front line as soon as possible.
But Li Chengqian still didn't move even after receiving the order from his father.
Later, he simply blocked Li Shimin's transfer order on the grounds that he was injured in the rebellion and was temporarily unable to lead the army.
At this time, Li Shimin was a little unhappy.
Li Shimin slammed the table angrily and said, "This brat didn't even listen to my orders."
Seeing him like this, Duan Zhixuan couldn't help laughing.
He said: "Your Majesty, I have heard it said before that His Highness is indeed injured, and the injury is not serious. It is better to let him rest..."
"Have a rest!"
Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said, "Have you ever seen an injured person riding a horse for twenty miles in a night?"
"Have you ever seen an injured person running into the enemy's formation to fight with his soldiers?"
To be honest, Li Shimin really didn't believe that Li Chengqian was really injured.
He was more willing to believe that this was a cover-up trick used by that guy to confuse the rebels.
After thinking for a while, Li Shimin said directly: "Give me the order to move the entire army and move closer to Suzhou City."
Hearing this, Duan Zhixuan was stunned for a moment.
He said: "Your Majesty, shouldn't we go west?"
"To what west?"
Li Shimin clenched his fists and said, "I just want to see for myself how seriously injured this kid is."
"If he is really injured, I will personally apply medicine to him."
"But if he dares to lie to me... hum..."
Li Shimin sneered and said, "Then I'll let him lie on the bed for half a month."
Dare to disobey your own orders?
It seems that this boy has really forgotten how his old father doted on him in the past...
…
Now this guy who has forgotten how to be cared for by his old father is really busy.
Today, Suzhou City has entered the post-war reconstruction stage.
Li Chengqian, as the only steward available in Suzhou City at the moment, must be busy running around.
No matter big or small, you have to go to him and report it before it can be implemented.
Of course, rebuilding Suzhou City is not without its benefits.
At least the refugees outside have a place to stay.
We can't let them eat and drink for free every day and go back to their hometown when the time comes, right?
Li Chengqian simply waved his hand and hired a large number of laborers among the refugees to repair the city walls and rebuild houses for the people in the city.
As for the money needed to rebuild Suzhou, Li Chengqian didn't take any money from Suzhou's treasury. All the money was donated "voluntarily" by local wealthy families.
During the day, Li Chengqian was busy with his career outside.
At night, he had to think about how to make his wife and sister happy.
Li Tingxue's side was actually relatively easy to say.
After all, she was really angry because Li Chengqian didn't tell her about this in advance, which caused heavy losses to her brothers.
Li Chengqian went over to show off and act cute, and by the way, arranged for the survivors of her brothers who died in the battle, and then let Li Tingxue give him a beating to vent his anger, and nothing would happen.
What really made him unable to do anything was actually his two wives.
Su Qingling always seemed heartless in front of Li Chengqian, but that was just a little girl acting coquettishly with her husband in disguise.
In fact, Su Qingling is a very narrow-minded person, and this time Li Chengqian was cruel enough to use her as bait.
She really doubted whether Li Chengqian had her in his heart and whether he really wanted to marry her.
Similarly, Lu Wanjie also had this kind of mentality.
She had known Li Chengqian for so many years, but she really didn't expect that Li Chengqian could do such a thing.
Is this what humans do to put themselves in a tiger's mouth?
Is this something a husband can do?
In this regard, Li Chengqian could only continue to express his apologies to the two daughters.
After all, he couldn't explain to the other party that he believed in the speed of the Bingzhou Cavalry and was also 100% confident in ensuring their safety, right?
Even he himself didn't believe it when he said this.
So later, Li Chengqian simply gave up on face.
He asked someone to get a whip and went straight into the two women's room.
He took off his shirt and said directly to the two girls: "I admit my fault, and I also know that you are angry in your hearts. The whip is right here. I will hit you how you want..."
