had been delegated by the lord to the vassal. The new state rulers sought ways of
maintaining and organizing their power. In the other hand, appointments to these key

local political system, and a system for the selection of officials. There were three major

the escalation of absolute monarchy, and the standardization of the selection of
officials. Moreover, there are the ancient supervision system and the political systems
created by ethnic minorities, as well as other critical political systems which may be
