this is so funny

[@liliencalvel6151]

So how is it that the emperor had emperor status if China was still in a state of struggle for control over who would ultimately rule? I don't get it. I thought that emperor status was a power gained because the ruler has conquered and managed to keep control through undefeatable military power against any oppossition, having defeated and removing all warlords and waring states. Can you or anyone explain? Is it that he just established a capital, or so called capital and claimed himself emperor without really bothering to wipe out the threat from other war lords and everyone just went along with it with no officialality behind it. like, "yea yea, your emperor", perhaps because he was more powerful than them military wise?

Emperor is not the title yet only kings ( different tribes ) first emperor who unified the rest was the qing which is later part zhou

Emeperor in name only. But the other states that supposed to pledge loyalty to the emperor only paid lip service, and have outgrown and become stronger than the “emperor”?
