The functions and powers overlapped, and Yuanfeng focused on abolishing them during the restructuring.

With this lesson in mind, Ju Ming will naturally not set it up again.

As for the Tongzhengyuan, it was the General Affairs Department of the Ming Dynasty. This thing had great power in the early Ming Dynasty. It was the emperor's main agency for handling government affairs and communicating with internal and external affairs. The Six Sections were just subordinate departments of the General Affairs Department.

After the emergence of the cabinet, the first thing it did was to usurp the power of the General Affairs Department, then incorporate the Hanlin Academy, and then control the six subjects - the whole process took hundreds of years, and the cabinet finally gave birth to a powerful prime minister.

If the General Administration Department operates normally, there will be no need for a Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Zhu Ming then explained in detail the division of powers and responsibilities of "one pavilion, three courtyards and six departments", which shocked all the ministers. Even Zhang Gen and Gao Jingshan were shocked.

Once this central structure is implemented, the imperial power will reach its peak, and the power of the prime minister will be greatly restricted.

This is different from Song Huizong's willful behavior. Song Huizong relied on destroying the system to establish a single party, while Zhu and his son institutionalized the emperor's centralization of power.

At the same time, Zhao Song’s central weaknesses were eliminated.

The central agencies are no longer redundant and the division of responsibilities is clearer. The six ministries are no longer the yes-men of the prime minister.
