What are the consequences of losing the Mandate of Heaven?

It's a Chinese thing. It means that you don't rule legitimately any more. The people lose confidence in you, and more to the point, the second tier rulers seek to replace you rapidly, involuntarily, and somewhat more permanently then we in the Western world are accustomed to. Though in fairness, I gather "retirement for health reasons" or a quiet stay at a psychiatric facility is an option nowadays.
