康熙帝平定三藩
叶公问政。子日：“近者悦，远者来。”
This basically means that to rule your country well, you have to satisfy the people in areas close to you and make sure people far away don't start a rebellion. An example of this was when an emperor of the Qing dynasty, the KangXi emperor, prevented a rebellion. He satisfied most people, except for three barons who decided they wanted to start their old dynasty back up again. They rebelled against the emperor and almost own, but the emperor turned them against each other and two of the barons sided with him. The last baron was defeated, and everyone became content with the new system, as all people close by liked the emperor and everybody far away had no intent of rebellion.
