The emperor ruled the country and was believed to be the Son of Heaven. However, he was only the Son of Heaven IF he had the Mandate of Heaven. The Mandate of Heaven was on the people's side. If the people liked the emperor, he had the Mandate of Heaven. If the people weren't pleased with the emperor, his Mandate of Heaven would be lost and the people would revolt.

The emperor had a cabinet. Under him would be the governors and other large posts, followed by the small posts.
