How did Louis XIV of France control the nobles?

This is somewhat of a long and drawn explanation. Louis XIV built Versailles for more than one reason. The two prominent reasons being that he wanted to show the world his power and riches through architecture, and to maintain control over the French nobles.Louis XIV had an interesting way of keeping the nobles there. He would call them one at a time, explaining a desire meet with them, and then he would continue to postpone them. He wanted to call them there without actually telling them it was to maintain power. This not only kept the nobles where he could see them, it also had the nobles at each others throats to please him and and caused fighting among them. This constant state of contention and bickering kept them from allying together against him in an attempt to overthrow him. It is honestly too bad that Louis XIV did not come about sooner, as Julius Caesar could have really learned something from him. Also, this question is tagged under "French Revolution". Due to the fact that this is a question regarding Louis XIV, it implies that you are referring to the time of Louis' reign/life time. Louis XIV was born in September of 1638, his coronation was in June of 1654, and died in September of 1715. The French Revolution was from the years 1789 to 1799, almost 70 years after the death of Louis XIV.
