The official system is the most complex of the political system, it is not static, it will change over time, in order to adapt to the new situation, since ancient times the struggle between the power and the imperial power has been continuous, its ultimate purpose is still to strengthen the imperial power.
In a slave society, the princely states were the actual owners of the fan land, and as officials, the lords of the princely states were the supreme rulers of the fan land, nominally the son of heaven, but in fact it was only the form. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the countries established Xiang State, the rights of Xiang Bang were far greater than those of Xiang Bang at that time, Xiang Bang he was only the deputy of Xiang Bang, and Xiang Bang he was assisting the king in handling state affairs, he was the largest official among the hundred officials, as for the title of Xiang Guo in the pre-Qin period in the TV series, it was a mistake, such a title was changed to Xiang Guo until Liu Bang called him emperor, in order to avoid his name.
Qin Dynasty he set up a county system, the world's power is transferred to the central government, Qin Shi Huang he is a very autocratic person, he set up the three dukes and nine secretaries system, the three dukes are the minister, the imperial shi dafu, the taiwei, but in order to strengthen the stability of the autocracy, the position of the taiwei is basically fictitious, the officials of the imperial court are divided into internal officials and foreign officials, the internal officials are the leadership with the emperor as the core, the foreign officials are ruled within the fixed territory, and all the things under the day are concentrated in the hands of the hundred officials headed by the chancellor, which will inevitably be because of the excessive power. Poses a serious threat to imperial power.
The Han Dynasty basically followed the system of the Qin Dynasty, but changed the name to Sima , Sikong , Situ , and later changed Sima to Taiwei , as for the position of Chancellor did not follow the Qin Dynasty to set up the system of left and right Ministers, in the Han Dynasty in order to deal with the power of the Court, the Emperor used foreign forces to interfere in the government, while using eunuchs to balance, the purpose is to strengthen the imperial power, the demise of the Western Han Dynasty is the intervention of foreign relatives, the strength is too strong, Wang Mang as a powerful foreign relative subverted the Western Han regime, the Eastern Han Emperor reused eunuchs, resulting in the Rebellion of the Ten Constant Attendants, In the end, the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty led to the division of the masses, and finally the world was usurped by Cao Pi.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, in order to weaken the influence of Xiangquan, a system of three provinces and six ministries was established, with the governor of the three provinces as the chancellor, and the power was divided into three, and the governors of the three provinces were established, and the governors of the three provinces were all nominal ministers, and then six ministries were established under the three provinces. Although the system of the Song Dynasty made certain reforms compared with the system of the Tang Dynasty, it basically followed the system of the Tang Dynasty.
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although the Emperor also established the Minister, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the System of The Minister was the source of the turmoil in the country, and after he slaughtered the heroes, he completely abolished the System of Ministers, and established the Cabinet System, the ministers only had the right to vote, there was no actual decision-making power, the concentration of imperial power reached its peak, and the emperors of the Later Ming Dynasty were not as diligent as the Emperors of the Qing Dynasty, which led to a large number of eunuch dictatorships, which seriously violated the system that Zhu Yuanzhang had originally established that eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in government.
In the feudal society, he is an authoritarian society, the emperor is the supreme ruler, his purpose is to maintain the rule of the family, in this process must be in the hands of their own hands, for the eunuchs, the emperor and them get along day and night, for these disabled people, often the emperor trusts people the most, after all, eunuchs will not be called emperors, and others seize the world, they may not even have a life, which also led to the rise and fall of eunuchs with the feudal system.
