According to Li Liangzuo's meaning, the suzerainty and the vassal states have formed a mutual constraint, of course, in this it seems that the power of the suzerainty is very great, but in fact, you can think about it carefully, if four of the seven major princes feel that the suzerainty is not good, then it can be rebelled in the name of the Qing monarch, and the princes and kings seem to hold the administrative power, but the appointment and transfer of officials are not in the hands of the princes and kings; Since you can't control the officials, can the officials still listen to you?
However, the princes and kings do have military power, but they can't just have military power, the army has to eat and pay military salaries, and the financial power is not in the hands of the princes and kings, and the princes and kings can't collect taxes by themselves, and if there is no tax, there will be no economic resources; But the emperor of the suzerainty country dared not to pay the army of the princes and kings, it was a group of soldiers, if they were not allowed to eat, and if they were not paid, it would be solved by force; Therefore, Li Liangzuo used the relationship between the two to form a mutual constraint between the suzerainty and the vassal states.
But some people said that the suzerainty could not station troops in the princes' countries, and if he dared to rebel, he would be destroyed; Li Liangzuo's following words are to solve this problem, and Li Liangzuo continued to say to everyone: "What I want to talk about next is the issue of the armies of the vassal states, and the garrison of the suzerainty in the vassal states; The combined strength of the seven vassal states is one and a half times that of the suzerain, 15 times that of the suzerain, and the strength of the seven vassal states is 200,000, and the total strength of the suzerainty is 910,000; I have said before that the suzerainty has the right to garrison troops in the vassal states, and the military expenses are borne by the vassal states, but the vassal states do not have the right to collect taxes, so the vassal states need to take out a part of the military expenses of the 200,000 regular troops to support the garrison of the suzerainty in the vassal states, and the garrison of the suzerains in the vassal states shall not exceed one-fifth of the total strength of the vassal states; Moreover, I will also set up some small vassal states under the seven vassal states, which are under the joint jurisdiction of the emperor and the local vassal kings, and the small vassal states can only have an army at the level of the county king, and the army of each county king shall not exceed 30,000 people, and its military salary shall be borne by the suzerainty and the large vassal states, and in the event of a war, the army under the jurisdiction of the county king shall be handed over to the local princes and kings."
Li Liangzuo's trick is really amazing, Li Liangzuo understands that as long as they are given the army, these sons of his will not stare at the throne sooner or later, but Li Liangzuo is to use the army to let them form constraints on each other, first of all, the great princes and kings have the right to lead the troops independently, but there is no source of military salaries, and at the same time, the emperor holds the military salary, and can garrison troops in the fiefdom of the great princes and kings to prevent the great princes from rebelling, and the great princes and kings can unite together to clear the monarch's side.
If the small princes and kings listen to the emperor and the big princes, the emperor will definitely not give money, but if the big princes and kings listen to the emperor, they will not give money, but once the war starts, the small princes and kings need to listen to the big princes and kings, but those who have a good relationship with the emperor The small princes and kings will not stop, which is equivalent to making the emperor's garrison in the fiefdom of the big princes and kings increase, so that the big princes and kings dare not easily rebel.
Li Liangzuo glanced at it and continued: "The relationship between the suzerainty and the vassal states has been understood, let's talk about the heir to the throne and the heir to the seven princes. ” As soon as Li Liangzuo's words came out, the crown prince Li Bingchang flashed for a moment, what else is there to discuss about the issue of the heir, the son takes over Lao Tzu's class, this is the truth from ancient times to the present, in Li Bingchang's opinion, although he is now the prince, but he will definitely be in charge of the suzerainty in the future, after he is in charge of the suzerain, the position of the emperor in the future will be his son's, and if he can't do it, he can destroy one or two of the seven major princes, and let his son go up, wouldn't it be better.
So as soon as Li Liangzuo's words came out, Li Bingchang flashed here, and Li Liangzuo continued: "In order to protect the eternal foundation of my Li family in Daxia, I have decided that from now on, the crown prince will be virtuous and not married, that is to say, from now on, the crown prince will be held by a virtuous royal child, and this prince is not appointed by the emperor, but elected by everyone; The heirs of the crown prince should be chosen from among the sons of the emperor and the seven princes, including the princes, and all the nobles, including the emperor and the seven princes, who have the right to vote; The nobility here refers to the people who own fiefs of more than 100 li, among them are officers, officials, scholars, merchants, craftsmen, etc.; As long as it is someone who has made outstanding contributions to my Great Xia Empire, it is okay; The crown prince is elected every ten years, and its limit is adult candidates between the ages of eighteen and forty, if it is over forty years old, it is no longer within this range, and the emperor's term of office is also limited, and he must abdicate at the age of sixty-five to make way for Xian, that is, the age at which I am located, and the new emperor must set up a prince as soon as he ascends the throne, and the prince does not have to stay with the emperor of the imperial capital as a prince; Once the candidate of the Seven Great Princes becomes Emperor, he must surrender the throne of the Princes and Princes and hand it over to the candidates recommended by the previous Emperor to serve as the Princes of the land."
As soon as Li Liangzuo's words fell, the eyes of Li Qing, the king of Yan, Li De, the king of Liang, Li Ke, the king of Qi, and Li Hao, the king of Yue, lit up, Li Liangzuo meant that as long as their descendants are willing to work hard and can be recognized by the nobles of Daxia, then they can serve as the next emperor, which means that in the future, they do not necessarily have to rely on rebellion to get the throne, and they also have the opportunity to become an emperor by doing their studies well to become a sage.
There are also clear regulations for the nobles of the Great Xia Empire, Li Liangzuo, the so-called hundred li nobles, that is, the nobles who have a hundred li fief, the title and fief of this nobility cannot be hereditary, and their next generation cannot become a nobleman if they can't make the same or higher credit than this, but the next generation can keep half of its fief, if the third generation is still blind, then even this half of the fief will be gone.
Li Liangzuo spent most of his life pondering this new system, although such a system is not very democratic, but it is also a semi-democratic system, and at the same time, he can also inspire the people of the lower classes, as long as they are willing to work hard, it will not be difficult to become a nobleman; As a merchant you can donate money to the imperial court and donate a large amount of money to obtain the title of nobility; As a scholar, you can pass the imperial examination and become an official, as long as you are clear and honest, you can become a nobleman with outstanding political achievements, you must know that the officials of the Great Xia Empire are very high; If you have neither a brilliant mind nor can read and write, then you can become a nobleman by joining the army and fighting more battles; If you are a craftsman, you can increase your productivity and invent something, and you can also become a nobleman as long as it is valuable.
Li Liangzuo gave people of all walks of life a way in this way, they would not complain about the injustice of fate, they would work hard to climb up, and no one would think of rebellion.
