Political influence can be used to remove corrupt ministers from the court. Political influence grows over time and is generated by administrative court buildings within the player’s major settlements. He can wield his Political Influence to enact changes within a court that has been all but crippled by the eunuchs’ power-grab… The Emperor sits in the middle, trying to balance these power blocks. The Dynasts: This group seeks all power to come from the imperial family itself. The Warlords: Supporters of this group seek a decentralised government where each local leader controls their own lands, answering only to the emperor. The Bureaucrats: Led by the eunuchs, their supporters seek to centralise power into the hands of the politicians. Within the Imperial Court, three factions vie for supremacy. Unique Faction Mechanic: The Imperial Court The vast Han vassal lands are Liu Hong’s to maintain, but the situation is rapidly falling apart, and controlling all of them may be impossible as discontent and open warfare erupt… The formidable Empress, his wife, fights tooth-and-nail against the eunuchs’ power-grab, but her efforts are hindered by the Emperor's inaction. His court is controlled by corrupt and self-serving eunuchs who are quick to silence any who question them. Rebellions are rising and there is discontent amongst his own vassal warlords. Liu Hong is Emperor of the Han Empire, and presides over a swiftly deteriorating situation. The only exception is Liu Hong (Emperor Ling), whose victory conditions will change depending on how he reforms his government. It’s very much about picking your moment to start your race for the throne and finding rebel-held commanderies to attack opportunistically. Timing in this period is crucial however, given the power-blocs in play. The victory conditions of all Han factions match those of the 190CE campaign. In addition, he may also construct the Imperial Palace, a grand undertaking in both time and resources, which delivers powerful factionwide bonuses to the Emperor, and houses the single most powerful garrison in the game! In Mandate of Heaven, Liu Hong (Emperor Ling) has a unique form of this Empire government style, in that he must request these mandated powers from his imperial allies in order to battle the Yellow Turban threat. However, as this is effectively an abuse of power, such actions may cause schisms in the alliance… The Emperor has mandated powers to prevent his allies from voting on diplomatic deals such as war and peace. 
The Emperor and his allies are in an alliance where the Emperor holds total power.
