Zhang Jue Military Power Tier 1

Enforcing the Mandate

The Mandate of Heaven gives the emperor the right to rule, but it is not absolute - it is dependent on heaven's judgement. It is up to the people to determine if the Mandate has been lost to an emperor, through the interpretation of worldly events; famines, droughts and plagues are all seen as signs of celestial displeasure.

If the Mandate is believed to have been lost, then the recourse is to depose the emperor, through force of arms if needed, and prove to the heavens that there is a new, worthy leader.
