Unlike Yan, there is no need for so many complications to bestow honor, position and power.
The princes of Yan dynasty, and even the warlords and the governors had to watch the Emperor power before they could even dare to confer titles and honour.
That is because there is a central figure authority in Yan.
And this central authority figure has clothed itself under the guise of rituals, theocracy, destiny and many others
Hence, there is prestige.
Hence the Yan dynasty could be revived during the time of Emperor Guangwu of Yan
And hence, even though the central authority of the Yan dynasty is weak, no warlords dare claim themselves kings.
Because the Jiang family rule Yan for almost four hundred years. There is prestige to that name
Not to mention, the brainwashing of successive rulers and the manipulation of public opinion for four hundred years
To break all of this is not easy.
Now, the Yan dynasty is in decline but there is still many loyalists.
