Eunuchs,.. 'O che sciagura d'essere senza coglioni!'
If I remember my Chinese history correctly, the Ancient Chinese empires were, at some periods, ran by Eunuchs.
The last days of Han dynasty would be the best example. If I remember my Chinese history, Eunuchs held sway over the emperor before being overthrown by provincial warlords.
Do you guys think that the Yeshans know Confucius, and/or hold Confucian ideals in their government? The way muse set them up, it seems most likely.

From what I could dissect from videos that talked about the factions and what info has been uploaded, the Yeshan follow a GOIO version of Confucianism, in this case its basically a philosophy that teaches the basics of propriety. In place of an emperor, they have a council of eunuchs, who seem to be a part of an educated sect within the society and have the proper knowledge to run the country, economy, military, and external politics as per the teachings..
And yes, throughout history, there have been many instances where Eunuchs have controlled the Chinese emperors from behind the curtains. Look no further than the Ten Eunuchs prior to the splitting of the Han Empire.
HamsterIV:
I thought the Eunuch thing was a myth spread by the the successors of that dynasty to convince the population that the Han dynasty had lost the mandate of heaven.
Indreams:
No, they actually had Eunuchs
Two reasons:
1.) So that hereditary powers will no threaten the meritocratic system as well as the powers of the emperor.
2.) So that members close to the Royal family will not cause any scandals or illegitimate children.
And a less serious third reason:
To say stuff like ->'O che sciagura d'essere senza coglioni!'
HamsterIV:
I am sure there were eunuchs, but the implication that the "eunuchs ran the country and treated the weak emperor as a puppet," sounds like high quality propaganda written after the fact by a new government who wanted to make the old government look bad.
You know the type of lies those Fjord Barons spread to keep their populous from understanding the enlightened Yeshan ideals.
