Emperors do not "get" the rights to rule. Technically, they don't even have a right to rule, but they have a huge responsibility to the people they lead. Historically, people became emperor because they either inherited the position, or somehow had influence of the military. If the military will do what a person tells them to, then that person can control a country. People don't want to disobey the new "emperor" if he has an army that will punish them. And thus, he controls the people. If the military refuses to cooperate, he can claim to be emperor, but won't be able to control anyone.
