How many stages are there in China's traditional political system? Which stage is the most powerful?

We will start with the system of three provinces and six ministries, which means that the three provinces are the Zhongshu, Menxia and Shangshu provinces, and the six ministries are the six ministries of officials, households, rituals, soldiers, criminals and laborers. In the Tang Dynasty, a decree, it must be first by the prime minister in the political affairs hall in the Central Book of the assembly of the General Assembly, the decision to produce before reporting to the emperor for permission, and then by the Central Book of the emperor in the name of the proposed edict. But before the publication of the imperial decree, but also must be sent to the province under the door to verify, the province under the door think there are problems, can refuse to carry out the "countersignature" on the imperial decree. And the lack of the two countersignatures, according to the rules is not enforceable. Only after the "countersignature" of the province of the Oracle can become our country to declare the bill, can be handed over to the Shangshu Province to implement.

Under these regulations, the biggest head of the three provinces is the prime minister. Originally, the specific powers of the prime minister were divided among three official titles, which have been greatly weakened. At the same time, in the Tang Dynasty, the biggest head of the three provinces was only a third-grade official, so the rank of the prime minister was not high. After Wang Anshi's unsuccessful change of law in the Song Dynasty, the anti-Shang Yang school of change of law came to power and changed the three provinces into one, which in fact made the three provinces united, and after that they were often referred to as the three provinces, but in fact, the three provinces became a single unit, which lost the original intention of cooperating with each other, but relatively enhanced the efficiency of the management. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it followed the rules and regulations of the Qing Dynasty, and set up the Ministry of the People's Republic of China (中書省) and the Prime Minister (宰相). Later, because of the central book province and the prime minister has too much power, preventing the emperor arbitrary, in Ming Hongwu thirteen years after the prime minister Hu Weiyong rebellion case, angry Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang a decree to abolish the system of the prime minister, the withdrawal of the central book province, to improve the influence of the six ministries, the power of the six ministries.

But the prime minister system since the Qin Dynasty gradually, everlasting, is the link between the subjects and the emperor, the outside court and the inner court of the bridge, the heavy responsibility of solving the common affairs of heaven and earth, and its effectiveness is very great. Since the date of the abolition of the chancellor system by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, the search for the replacement of the rules and regulations of the chancellor began, and the cabinet system came into being under such circumstances. Centralized power system: The centralized power system was clearly proposed by Han Fei Zi, and in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, through the Changing Laws of Shang Yang, the abolition of the feudal system and the implementation of the county system were demanded, and the centralized power system was implemented. By the time of the Qin Dynasty, the emperor system, the system of three principal officials and nine ministers, the county system, the implementation of the Qin law, the unification of weights and measures and the loan of money, and the text of the Qin law were established. Centralized power system rammed in the Han Dynasty, sound in the Sui Dynasty, the authoritarian method of decision and authoritarian political system in detail together.

The reorganization of the system, the Tusi system is the Ming dynasty inherited the Qing dynasty in the northwest of the nationalities of the ruling method, Tusi's power is huge. By the Yongle years gradually withdrew the regulations, changed to government departments to send a stream of officials immediately ruling.
