Even if you have killed off the other factions, you will need to maintain garrisons in the provinces to prevent rebellions or re-emergences. To prevent a rebellion, you will need to keep the happiness above 100%, over 120% is preferred (extra leeway to handle events and prevent a province from being sucked into a re-emergence). Hitting the shift key on the campaign map will highlight which provinces are in danger (yellow or red).
