Say you are a king, and you have dukes and lords, and they have considerable power.
Say you know that Duke A is the ring-leader for taking your throne. Do you go after him directly? No, you have to shut down his power structure first. When he has no money, no friends, no allies, no troops, then you move in and shut him down for good. So you get to work doing what he was doing, but in reverse.
These things take time, and you can't rush it. Play your hand too early, you risk losing permanently.
It doesn't work like that in real life, though.
