What a load of cr@p. No one appoints a governor like that.

@Gazni he does cause he is a goat!
@Gazni You're too used to the democratic systems, where either the people directly pick the governor, or someone the people elected appoints the governor. The wrong choice could tick the people off enough the party quietly kicks the elected person to the side and runs someone else.
MC is the absolute emperor. The only person who can tell him no is his semi-retired dad. If he says, "jump", there is no response but "how high." That sheer power is one reason why the old emperor decided to dump the original crown prince and appoint another.

1. I prefer authoritarian rule. This has nothing to do with being used to democratic system.
2. No where in history they pick governors like that. Unlike what people think, emperors do not wield absolute authority. If they did, a lot of reforms would have came to fruitition much quicker.
You are just defending a bad part where every NPC is a sucker for MC without any personality.
@Gazni 1) I said used to it, not that you liked it.
2) You have a poor reading of history, particularly Middle East and Eastern history. The only difference is that the field appointed governor was usually appointed for a short term -the on the spot appointment was to get someone into the governor's seat and in charge. The governor then had to prove their ability in the next 1-3 years if they wanted the seat long term.

1. You did not address my question on how being 'used' to it has anything to do with the topic. And how do you even know that I lived under a democratic system?
2. You have poor reading comprehension. Go back to original comment. 'No one appoints a governor like that'. It did not matter if it was on-spot appointment or not. The person had to have some sort of background or proven themselves. I don't know about eastern history but no where in middle eastern history has something like that happened. Even in Mamluks, that was a slave ran state. You just made that up, just to win arguments.
You also lied about absolute authority.

@Gazni 1. If you're used to a particular form of government, it's hard to understand other forms. Even if you prefer what you've read to what you've experienced.
2. We live in a world where throughout history people are and have been appointed due to being related to or a lover of the person doing the appointing, with zero background. Appointing someone who's shown they can keep accurate records, hide them, and has the wisdom to use them at the right time is at the least better than that.
You claimed I lied, even though you admitted you didn't know Eastern history. You also did not go far enough back in recorded Middle East history -there existed culture before Muhammed.
And da**, you are wrong about Mamluks. Mamluks started out as a kind of slave, but they overthrew their masters and took control of the country after their masters could no longer depend on outside help once the slaves rebelled. The ones who ruled were no longer slaves, though they kept slaves under them.
If you want to get into slave-run states, you can also call the Ottoman Empire that. Up until Selim II, most of the administrative positions in the palace were held by slave eunuchs. The Ottoman sultans would also appoint temporary governors on the spot until they could get someone in with more background and experience, which could take six months even in their fairly efficient (pre-Selim II) empire.
Even the Chinese, with their high level of bureaucracy and meritocracy, would appoint temporary governors on the spot until they could get someone else in.
The whole point is to have someone representing Authority in societies where people often just don't have the education to govern themselves. There's a reason you need education to have a proper democracy.
