Liang Kingdom was not a traditional feudal dynasty.
Adapting to the widespread trend of modernization among the populace, the structural composition of the Liang State Court had transformed, either proactively or passively.
The current Liang Kingdom more closely resembled a constitutional monarchy.
The Emperor of Liang still existed, but he no longer possessed the ability to decide the fate of the nation with a single word.
The Liang royal family retained Yu Jing and its surrounding counties as their fiefdom, kept the Imperial Guard Army, and maintained leading authority over certain industries in Liang...
As a trade-off, the emperor relinquished a series of powers including administration, legislation, judiciary, diplomacy, and national defense, transferring them to the "Cabinet," and only retained the "veto" power in personnel and legislation to maintain the royal family's authority.
To be precise, the current Liang Kingdom had two "emperors."
