Revolution at Court

Japanese: 宮廷革命 - きゅうていかくめい
Revolution at Court
When politics is run by the upper echelons of the ruling class, i.e. the court nobility and high-ranking bureaucrats, factional divisions often occur and conspiracies lead to a change in the person in charge of government. This is called a palace revolution. Note that a change in leadership due to internal conflicts within the leadership, regardless of the masses below, is sometimes referred to as a palace revolution figuratively.

政治が支配階級の上層部すなわち宮廷貴族や高級官僚によって行われているとき,しばしば徒党的分裂が生じ,陰謀によって政権担当者が交代することがある。これを宮廷革命という。なお一般に下部の大衆とは無関係に指導部内の抗争によって指導者が交代することを,比喩的に宮廷革命と呼ぶことがある。
