Something just clicked in my head! If this outsider (the Mother Royal) has legitimised their control through the lineage and traits passed down genetically to the point that the original people that ruled the land were erased from history thus cementing their dynasty as divine right. We know she married a local leader and it was THEIR SON that became Emperor which implies that perhaps that other clans existed, other leaders, who were conquered and forced to bend to this dynasty.Could those that are seeking to target the Emperor and Jinshi be the descendants of one of those prior clans who believe they have more claim and are seeking to tear down a dynasty they believe is not as legitimate as their own because it descends from an outsider?

Are they challenging the claim? Are they seeking to impose their own will and power? So many questions.

Obviously NO ONE answer these. They are purely rhetorical. But it does pose some further insight that if this dynasty was forged through mythologising the connection to the divinity - could others have a different interpretation passed down by their ancestors that makes them believe that they should overthrow it entirely and establish their own.
