Solution
- The emperor was an extremely powerful figure. His decisions on all matter-military, political, administrative and judicial-were final. His word was law. He was the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the supreme judge on all matters of justice.
- He was assisted by a team of ministers and officials. The appointment, promotion and dismissal of all officials, including commanders of the army, was the sole right of the emperor. The success of this system depended largely on the personality of the emperor and his wisdom to choose the right person for the right job.
