Government and politics

Officially, the government of the Sheng dynasty was an absolute monarchy, with the Emperor having theoretically limitless powers. Officially the Emperor was the chief lawmaker, supreme judge, commander-in-chief of all the armed forces, and nominator of all government positions. However, the Emperor was assisted by his cabinet, who made many day-to-day decisions regarding governance. In fact, in many cases the Emperor was under pressure to adopt the majority position of the cabinet, but there are records of times when the Emperor would reject such a majority opinion.

The highest position in the Emperor's cabinet, and the second-highest government official in the Sheng dynasty, was the Chancellor. Often times this was called Sengsiun (丞相) in Lanang, though a handful of Emperors would give the same position other titles. His main duty was to oversee all of the provinces and ensure all taxes were collected, alongside managing and maintaining public works projects. Over time, his duties would expand to include managing the budget, overseeing court conferences, among many other duties.
