Now the Gaoshun forces are in a strong position, attacking the northern Xinjiang and the barbarians, solving the threat of the barbarians to the Central Plains for hundreds of years, gaining unprecedented prestige, and implementing the selection and assessment system of martial arts people, so that the local tyrants and the people have one more way to advance, and are supported by the majority of local tyrants and the people.

Gao Shun decided to strike while the iron was hot and pave the way for the emperor.

The first thing to do is to get rid of the many existing feudal states.

However, this matter involves a wide range of areas, and the operation is not good, causing local turmoil, and it is better to say that it is better for him to carry out it, if it is his descendants, they will never have the ability to do so.

After a long period of thought, he came up with a final plan.

The kings at the county level are all canceled, these people are all members of the Liu royal family, the Han family, and they must not be allowed to get something for nothing.

The county-level liehous and the following township marquis only retained 3, the fiefs of the eldest princess of Wannian, the eldest princess of Yingyin and the eldest princess of Yangzhai, which can be regarded as retaining a little face for the imperial court.

In order to be fair and just, Gao Shun's sister's fief and the fief of Fang Liang, Zhou Fei and others were cancelled together.

Moreover, Gao Shun promised that he would not use the taxes of the nine counties of Jizhou for personal consumption, but all of them were taken from the people and used for the people.

Taking care of their life thereafter, Gao Shun also decided to leave them a little family foundation, and in addition to the current mansion, the king-level princes could keep 3,000 mu of cultivated land, and the county-level and township-level princes could keep 1,000 mu and 500 mu of cultivated land respectively.

Gao Shun first discussed his plan with Li Qiang and Ma Gui; Neither of them was a feudal marquis, and of course they supported the abolition of many feudal states, and all of them were administered at the county and county levels.

Seeing that the two were so perfunctory, Gao Shun discussed with Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and others.

This is something that offends people, Jia Xu is still an old tradition, he speaks little and does not express his personal opinions.

Xi Zhicai strongly supported it, his views were similar to Gao Shun's, and he had to carry out reforms while the army was strong, and it was no longer suitable to continue to retain the Liu princes. Moreover, his thinking was more radical, and he suggested to Gao Shun: "My lord, these people have a lot of money, why should they keep their mansions and arable land? It is better not to leave them with nothing, and they will be powerless to resist, otherwise, they will use this wealth against the lord, and things will not be beautiful. ”

Gao Shun smiled and said: "Haha, I'm afraid that they won't resist, if they dare to resist, then it's not as simple as confiscating property; Leave them some wealth, and I also hope for a smooth transition. ”

Previously, although the feudal states of the Liu princes were not abolished, they enjoyed a lot less property, and these feudal states were basically controlled by Gao Shun's most trusted people, and it is estimated that those princes had long expected the arrival of this day.

Xi Zhicai insisted: "Lord, since you think so, it's better to choose one of the two, either keep the mansion or choose the farmland, and let them get all the benefits." ”

"Okay, then choose one of the two, but you can consult Zhou Fei, Fang Liang, Cheng Li and others again."

"Yes, my lord!"

In order to be foolproof, Gao Shun still asked Xi Zhicai to write to consult the opinions of the state pastors, assassins, and military advisors in Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other places, and if it is implemented, all localities must prepare in advance.

Now that Gao Shun's prestige is strong, his strength is strong, and Zhou Fei, Fang Liang and others are loyal, who will object?

Cheng Li and others believe that their title is now sealed by the imperial court, and if it is canceled, it will be canceled, so it is better to wait for Gao Shun to be crowned emperor before sealing it, I believe that Gao Shun will not wronged those of them who follow the world.

Things went surprisingly well, and the feedback was in favor of lifting the closure and restoring the county.

So, Gao Shun ordered to immediately announce the world and cancel the closure.

To Gao Shun and others' surprise, it did not cause the resistance and opposition they thought in society, but was very stable.

Some princes have resentment, but they are powerless to oppose it, so they can only silently accept the reality.

More princes are very excited, cancel the feudal country, indicating that they will be one of the people from now on, in the future Gao Shun will be the emperor, they do not have to worry about being purged, this is the most reassuring for them, the stone in their hearts finally landed, at least the family was saved, the life was saved, and even Gao Shun was grateful.

And Gao Shun previously allowed them to do business, study, travel, etc., which were all power in exchange for money and food.

Compared with the previous days when they could only stay in the feudal country, be supervised, and have no freedom, like the fat pigs raised by the court in the cage, many princes are more welcome to the free life now, of course, this is only for the capable, for the mediocre, they still like the previous kind of days when they can only enjoy and don't have to worry about anything.

retained the fiefdom of the eldest princess and the two eldest princesses, and no one dared to oppose it, because first, they wanted to save face for the imperial court, after all, the imperial court was still there, and the emperor was still there; The second is because their husbands are all descendants of Gao Shun, and they are all generals who lead troops out of the town.

Now that the general trend of the world has been decided, the three princesses no longer expect Zhou Fei, Fang Liang and Feng Yong to unite to rescue the imperial court, and now they also know that their husbands are high-minded, and all they can do is to teach their husbands and children.

Even, they are grateful to Gao Shun, if it weren't for Gao Shun at the beginning, they wouldn't have today's life.

However, some people believe that this is a political compromise made by Gao Shun who was afraid of the strength of Zhou Fei, Fang Liang and Feng Yong, so there are many scholars who consciously move closer to the three.

A large number of counties and counties in the Central Plains were changed to the county model, and the original minister of state was directly changed to the taishou or county order, and the transition was smooth.

Most of the county kings chose to keep their existing mansions, as they had a lot of wealth that could be used to buy farmland.

Most of the princes at the county and township levels chose cultivated land because it was more long-term and long-lasting.

Gao Shun's generals, most of whom have no marquis, are extremely supportive of Gao Shun's decision, and now they are psychologically balanced, and even more people are looking forward to Gao Shun's cancellation of the existing feudal state in preparation for the future canonization, and they are full of expectations for the feudal marquis.

However, Gao Shun had no plans to be a marquis in a short period of time, such as Xue Yin, who had just returned home to enjoy his old age, Gao Shun only gave away thousands of acres of cultivated land; This also makes people doubt Gao Shun's attitude towards the future, you must know that Xue Yin has been fighting on the front line of the fight against foreign races all his life, without merit and hard work, and is one of the generals who followed Gao Shun relatively early, and the final reward for Xue Yin is an obvious benchmark.

After knowing the news, there is another person who supports the most, that is Lu Bu, although Lu Bu is now the Marquis of Hanshou, but Hanshou County is under the control of the imperial court, and there is no population, his fief can not bring him a penny of income, cancel all the feuds, can not get income, his psychology is more balanced.

This so-called does not suffer from widowhood but also suffers from unevenness.

It was the court and the emperor who hated it the most, and they were more dissatisfied than the kings and princes.

The ministers of the court felt that Gao Shun was ignoring the laws of the court and openly resisting the orders of the court, and he was a thief and a thief; But now that the imperial court itself is difficult to protect, and they still rely on Qin Guan to send support every month, they can only slander in their hearts, but they dare not blatantly denounce Gao Shun.

Emperor Liu Xie was completely disappointed, the royal family was in the past, and no one supported him, and he thought that Gao Shun was preparing for the emperor, and Gao Shun had no intention of rescuing the court and rescuing the emperor from the beginning.
