The four major organizations of the Ming Dynasty: East Factory, West Factory, Jinyiwei, and Six Doors, which of them is more powerful?
When it comes to the most famous organization in the Ming Dynasty, I believe that the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Jinyiwei, after all, this is dedicated to serving the royal family.
Later, the emperors were not satisfied with this method, and also created other departments, such as the East and West Factories and the Six Doors, all of which were founded during the Ming Dynasty, and they were also the four most famous organizations of the time.
This also makes many people curious, they all belong to the four major organizations founded by the emperor, who is more powerful and who can hold more power?
In fact, the six doors have appeared very early, and the six doors were established during the Tang Dynasty, but the six doors during the Ming Dynasty, the most important right is to solve the case.
Therefore, the people in the six doors are all thoughtful, and all of them are masters, otherwise they would not be able to solve some particularly important cases in this kind of institution.
The Six Doors are not involved with each other compared to other organizations, but they also have a lot of power, and the most important thing is to show it in solving crimes.
If it is related to the case, then their rights are naturally unmatched, but for court officials, their set is not good.
Jin Yiwei has relatively higher power, he is only under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and is responsible for guarding the capital, and also has the ability to detect the enemy and interrogate cases.
They are like the emperor's spies, the emperor says they will do whatever they ask them to do, and the ability of the Jinyi guard is so high that they can arrest anyone and interrogate them.
This also led to the fact that many high-ranking personnel in the court were frightened when they heard the name of Jinyiwei, and even many princes had to obediently cooperate with Jinyiwei's work.
If you don't listen to Jinyiwei's words, then Jinyiwei will go back and make a small report to the emperor, and then they will be miserable, and maybe they will be held accountable.
No one wants to provoke such a right and wrong, so they will be honest and obedient and cooperate with Jinyiwei's investigation, but Jinyiwei's power is so great, there is still a certain difference between it and appearance.
Because the power of the later Jinyiwei was too great, in order to prevent them from usurping, the East Factory was established to balance the Jinyiwei.
The most important thing is that Jinyiwei has always been outside the palace, and if there is an emergency, they have no way to rush to the emperor's side as soon as possible, but the people in Dongchang are much more convenient.
Because they all live in the palace, and they are eunuchs, they have no way to get higher rights, so they are also deeply trusted by the emperor.
However, the entire Ming Dynasty did not make a good distribution of power at all, so that later the power of the East Factory became bigger and bigger, and in order to be able to share the rights of the East Factory, the West Factory was established.
In fact, the reason why these three institutions were able to be established was to check and balance each other, so that the entire royal family was in turmoil later, and it was because of these institutions.
The West Factory was established because it suppressed the East Factory, so relatively speaking, the West Factory has more power, so that it will have the right to control the East Factory.
The responsibilities of the West Factory are also very similar to those of Jinyiwei, they all serve the imperial power, and these three check and balance each other, and also give the emperor a chance to breathe.
However, the later emperors did not think that the institution was established for convenience at the beginning, but later it affected the power in their hands, and even let the eunuchs control the government.
In the end, the emperor turned out to be a puppet, and the entire court was decided by the eunuchs, which is really a bit ridiculous to say, compared to these three institutions, six doors are still relatively normal.
Because there is no more relationship between the six doors and the emperor, it is just a simple service for the emperor to find out the case, and it is not in the center of power at all, so it will naturally not be mixed in it.
And the remaining three institutions, if you have to divide the high and low, it is naturally the West Factory is more powerful, as the last established West Factory, the purpose of its appearance is to control, naturally it is more powerful, and then it is the East Factory.
And the last in line is naturally Jinyiwei, because Jinyiwei served the emperor at the beginning, but slowly Jinyiwei became less and less valued, and these two organizations were suppressed one after another, which led to their power becoming less and less.
