The empires had yet to work out an elusive compromise that was achieved only too rarely: the viable balance between a rigorous, disciplined mode of government and attention to the ethical values of the humanities. From the outset they faced one question, seen indeed before the days of empire had dawned, but not fully resolved over twenty centuries. Each dynastic house would need to choose between two principles that lay behind its way of government. Emperors could either rely on the ties of kinship to their own ancestors so as to ensure loyalty in the face of ambition, or they could exercise their government by controlling the appointments of their chief advisers on the grounds of merit. Neither principle was wholly effective. But the empires did find a way to fill on deficiency that had become manifest after the end of the Western Zhou period.
