"Those who govern the vassal state do not aim at cutting the target, but only to strengthen governance, establish rules, and those who govern others will first govern their hearts."

Li Xian stretched out a finger and said, "The first point is to establish a fiefdom rotation system, and transfer the princes who hold heavy troops from the border guards to a prosperous land in the mainland. Naturally, the number of private troops should be reduced and the form of escorts. Moving from border guards to a rich land is more attractive than military power."

"The second is to establish the prestige of the court, and to be gentle and severely punished. For princes who violate the law, there is no need to directly discuss punishment and punishment, but to warn them first. If they do not change their teachings, they will punish them for several crimes, and even kill one to warn them, and they will never tolerate them."

"Third, the princes must be strictly separated from the local army. The local military power must be controlled by the generals and completely controlled by the court. The princes must never be allowed to cross over half a step and interfere in the local army. Fourth..."

"Wait for these strategies, they are actually governing the mind. We should take the princes to discipline themselves as a warning. The royal palace will not be able to serve a military officer or a soldier without levying a tax, and do not give a tuition of one monies or a property. We cannot be lawless on the fiefdom. Otherwise, absolute power will only bring about absolute corruption!"

After Li Xian finished speaking in one breath, Zhou Yao's expression also changed several times, from the surprise at the beginning, to the deep thoughts later, and silence.

No one dared to disturb him, so he could only wait quietly, while recalling Li Xian's words, which was thought-provoking and enlightening.

It seems that everyone is too intense about the matter of reducing the vassal states and does not know how to adapt. In fact, what he said about establishing prestige, giving both kindness and power, or separating the boundary from local troops is not novel, but the court has never been able to do it, and even more so, the princes can't do it.

It is precisely because the princes who hold heavy troops, especially when they are on the border, that they have the ability to challenge the court, which is not uncommon in many dynasties.

Therefore, the fiefdom rotation system is exchanged with a wealthy place to make them willing to reduce their military power. This method is indeed feasible. After all, the border guards are bitter and cold, and as long as they are not committed to rebellion, they will not resist.

The concept of governing the mind first also made everyone's eyes lit up. Although this is a relatively empty sentence, it opened another door. It turns out that reducing the vassal state can change the thinking, just as a murderer kills the heart. If the princes can return to their hearts, is it still necessary to destroy it?

Not to mention the distance, just like the Liu family of Beiming Hou, although they have been stronger recently, they have suppressed rebels, destroyed the rebels, and firmly supported the imperial power. If they are all such vassals, why would you even cut him down?

Moreover, when it comes to reducing the power of the vassal states, even Liu Xiu changed his face. This is an inevitable contradiction, and it is even more impossible to use too intense means. At this time, the best way is to use both kindness and power.

What a frog boils a warm water. The more you think about it, the more it makes sense. If you control the water temperature well, just boil it on a high heat. This is the foundation of managing the vassal state!

At this moment, everyone secretly admired Li Xian's argument, only Liu Xiu and that brother Ji Bo, with disdain on their faces. After all, they were compared to frogs, and no one would be happy.

But Zhou Yao was very happy and said, "The Li family boy is good, quite good! After being worthy of a famous teacher, I am very satisfied with your answer. What do you think?"

Li Xueqin said: "I agree with it. Li Xian's views are innovative, and those strategies are also very desirable. Since ancient times, governing the vassal state has been a big problem. I think it might as well give it a try."

The other four Grand Secretary said: "I agree with it."

However, Liu Xiu's chrysanthemums were inexplicably tightened.
