Legate Alexandros wrote: Everyone only remember the part when he signed White Gold Concordum, whithin the Empire. Most people forget that he was the one who led the relief force that took Imperial City back from Aldmeri Dominion. Stormcloaks and I'm sure few others think that he betrayed his people. I am sure it pains him greatly to watch how worship of Talos is being outlawed by the Thalmor, but he needs to bide time. Great War ravadge Imperial Military might greatly, they need time to rebuild it, so they can strike back at Thalmor when they least expect it. Even General Talius belive that they soon go to war with Thalmor again. I'm not saying he was a bad leader to Cyordiil, he was a great leader to Cyrodiil, but for the entire empire, he was a good leader until the WGC, he sold a large portion of a country to his enemies for a short-term peace, he gave up the worship of one of the most popular gods(who is representative of humanity), and he sent troops to wage war on a group of people who wanted to split away from the empire.

If I were a leader of an Imperial Province, I would not be afraid to assume that it is a possibility that The Emperor would sell my country as well, if the thalmor threatened to attack cyrodiil once more.

and another thing to note is that there is a possibility that the empire wants to send their troops from skyrim(after they quell this rebelion) to morrowind, to force them back under the imperial boot, I believe either to force them into their army and/or to appease to the argonians so they can ask them for aid when the Aldmeri Dominion attacks them again.
