The aristocratic families knew very well that in order to fight against the imperial court, they had to gather a wider range of forces.
They launched large-scale appeals in various places, using their prestige and influence in the local area to publicize the "tyranny" of the court and the "justice" of the aristocratic families to the people.
Naturally, the court could not be kept in the dark about the aristocratic family's undisguised actions.
It has been a long-standing practice that the emperor’s edicts could not reach the right places.
Now it is just more concrete.
The news that aristocratic families from all over the Tang Dynasty were preparing to rise up in rebellion suddenly exploded in the court.
The ministers looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and fear.
In less than a month, the aristocratic families from all over the Tang Dynasty had gathered together.
Li Chengqian sat on the dragon throne with a calm expression.
He had anticipated the current situation.
If only the aristocratic families were really that easy to deal with.
It would have been solved long ago, there is no need to wait until now. If we solve the problem of the aristocratic families now and eradicate their power completely, it would be impossible for the Tang Dynasty not to fall apart.
However, he and Mr. Qi had already prepared to conquer the world again!
"Your Majesty, this... what should we do?" An old minister stepped out tremblingly, his voice filled with uncontrollable panic.
"The aristocratic families' actions clearly indicate they are seeking to antagonize the imperial court! Their power is deeply intertwined, and if they were to rise up now, it would likely lead to disaster."
Compared with the old ministers, the young officials from Xianyang were much calmer.
In their hearts, His Majesty is a miracle.
Today's Xianyang City and the transformed Chang'an City are the best evidence.
"What should I do?"
Li Chengqian glanced at the old minister.
He was an old censor who had always been conscientious and diligent during his tenure, not daring to overstep the bounds in any way.
He is an honest and good official, but not an capable official.
"What should I do?"
Li Chengqian repeated it again.
All the officials in the court pricked up their ears.
Listening to Li Chengqian's words.
"They think I'm the Sui Emperor Yang Guang."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
As he was speaking, Li Chengqian suddenly laughed.
"Your Majesty, the most urgent thing right now is to come up with a solution as soon as possible."
Another minister said hurriedly.
"The influence of the aristocratic families in the local area cannot be underestimated. If they are not curbed, I am afraid that more people will be deceived."
At this moment, Fang Xuanling, who had been silent the entire time, stepped forward, his expression solemn: "Your Majesty, I believe this matter requires careful consideration. The rebellion of the aristocratic families, while unexpected, is also within reason."
"The most urgent task now is to stabilize the situation and prevent the people from falling into panic. At the same time, we must mobilize troops to prevent the aristocratic families from further expanding the rebellion."
After listening to the words of these ministers, Li Chengqian stopped smiling and became dignified.
"Convey my decree, ordering the garrisons loyal to the imperial court in all regions to strengthen their vigilance and closely monitor the movements of the noble families."
"At the same time, dispatch the Jinyiwei to various places to appease the people and inform them that the court has its own arrangements and not to be misled by the rebellion of the aristocratic families."
"I will never allow these noble families to disturb the peace of the Tang Dynasty!"
"If all places have been completely controlled by the aristocratic families, the Jinyiwei do not need to make unnecessary sacrifices. They can withdraw immediately and report any incidents that cannot be handled."
Marshal Ji's mighty army returned to the capital, and Chang'an was filled with congratulations.
The helmets and armor are shining, the flags are unfurled, the horses are strong and the soldiers are powerful, and the drums and horns are sounding.
His merits in hundreds of battles have brought peace to the country, and his achievements will shine for thousands of years.
Thunderous cheers greet loyalty and bravery, and their fame will be recorded in history.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Great joy! General Li Ji has returned in triumph!" An official rushed into the palace, his voice distorted with excitement.
"I am currently leading the Black Armor Army at Chengtian Gate, waiting for Your Majesty!"
This news was like a spring breeze, instantly blowing away the haze that enveloped the hearts of the court officials.
The ministers were immediately cheered up and their morale was greatly improved.
The military power of the Tang Dynasty is firmly in the hands of Your Majesty. Even if those local garrison officials collude with the aristocratic families and attempt to oppose the court, how easy is it to form an army that can compete with the court?
