    Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty abolished the post of prime minister and concentrated the power to handle government affairs in the cabinet, which had the right to vote. The purpose of the cabinet's existence is to assist the emperor in handling government affairs and making various suggestions.

    No, the power of the cabinet was given by the emperor, and the people in the cabinet had to obey the emperor's orders, or they would be dismissed. The power of the prime minister is given by his own official position, and it is difficult for the emperor to restrain the power of the prime minister.

    Reason: Because after the Ming Dynasty abolished the prime minister system, everything in the country was managed by the emperor alone, and the emperor set up a cabinet to assist the emperor in handling state affairs in order to reduce the burden.

    Differences: The Ming Dynasty cabinet was not a statutory body and had no powers, but only assisted the emperor in handling state affairs; And the prime minister is the first statutory body, and has huge power, and can even interfere with the emperor's political affairs, it is not so simple to assist.

    The prime minister can play a dual role within the centralized system of China's feudal society, which can assist the emperor and help the emperor deal with government affairs and decision-making secrets; It is also possible to threaten the monarchy due to excessive power, thus forming a contradiction between the monarchy and the relative power.

    After Ming Taizu abolished the prime minister system, although the contradiction between the monarch could be solved, it would inevitably lead to an increase in the burden on the emperor, and military affairs were decided by the emperor personally, which was inevitably biased and hasty.

    The purpose of the cabinet was to strengthen the imperial power, and the members of the cabinet were no longer prime ministers and had no decision-making power.

    Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister and set up six ministries. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di because the emperor had too many things to handle, and his personal energy was limited, he began to set up a cabinet as an advisory body to the emperor, and Xie Jin, a famous genius in the Ming Dynasty, was one of the first cabinet members. At this time, the cabinet was all 4 or 5 grades, and although the status was high, the official rank was very low.

    In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di's grandson, Ming Xuanzong and Zhu Zhanji, because of his personal energy, he was more limited. Therefore, the imperial power was divided into the right to approve the red and the right to vote. The right to approve the red is approved by the eunuch who is the celebrant and the eunuch, and the right to draft the vote is in the hands of the cabinet.

    At this time, the cabinet was generally held by university scholars. The tradition of not being able to enter the cabinet without entering the Hanlin Temple began at this time. And after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty also adopted the cabinet system.

    It's just that the name is a little special. During the Kangxi period, several people in the study were the actual cabinet. To the Yongzheng period, the military aircraft department was the actual cabinet.

    It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that the New Deal in 1909 abolished the Military Aircraft Department. Began to elect a cabinet, and in essence there was still royal control.

    The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty was only the secretary and adviser to the emperor, and there were only the first assistants.

    It has a certain right to vote, and others only have the right to propose and discuss.

    The power of the theory of power does not have the power to directly deal with government affairs, and the letter approved by the cabinet must be approved by the emperor before it can take effect, but the right to approve the red is in the hands of the celebrant and supervisor; The prime minister, on the other hand, can exercise power independently and manage the affairs of the state, except for major matters that are reported to the emperor for ruling, and can make his own decisions. It can really be said that one person is below ten thousand people; Therefore, compared with the cabinet, the cabinet has more power and has more independent decision-making power.

    The prime minister system has existed in China for a long time, but the power of the prime minister varies from era to era. For example, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty was under one person and above ten thousand. However, by the time of the six-ministry system in the three provinces of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the number of prime ministers increased and their power was weakened.

    The prime minister of the Song Dynasty was basically set aside. Until the Ming Dynasty was completely abolished. The cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty originated after the abolition of the prime minister in the Ming Dynasty to reduce the workload of the emperor, and it was an integral part of the imperial power.

    The Ming and Qing cabinets were the emperor's advisers, or secretariats, and controlled all major state affairs, so their powers were great, but their official positions were very small, and the behavior of the cabinet was strictly restricted.

    Nature: It originally belonged to the emperor's think tank and secretary, and later belonged to the substitute for the prime minister (the Ming Dynasty did not have the position of prime minister since Zhu Yuanzhang).

    Features: The total number of ** six departments and directly responsible to the emperor, the following folds have the right to vote (to deal with the handling of the matter), and have the right to refute the emperor's will (that is, the emperor's orders can be objected, and can not be executed).

    Changes in power: From the Yongle period, which only made suggestions on policies and had no other rights, to the late Ming Dynasty, it became synonymous with another system of prime ministers, and sometimes the power could be above the emperor. It's the power that grows bigger step by step.

    The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty has the right to "refute the seal", that is to say, they can also return the will of the emperor, which shows the great power of the cabinet, the cabinet has the first assistant and the second assistant, who enters the cabinet first, who is the boss, they share a lot of twists and turns.

    In fact, it is almost the same as the prime minister, of course, only on the surface. After Yongle, the cabinet had a higher status, surpassing the prime minister. There is a right to vote to dismiss the emperor's will.

    After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that one of the positions of prime minister would hinder his governance, so he abolished this position, but he could not manage all the affairs of the country alone, so he set up a cabinet system, in order to prevent the cabinet members from having too much power, so he ordered all cabinet members to have five official qualities or lower, that is, the status of the cabinet is not too high. However, the Chinese always have policies and countermeasures, and in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the first assistant of the cabinet was often a figure above 10,000 people under one person, such as Xu Jie, Yan Song. There are even more winners, such as Zhang Juzheng, who is even more than the Wanli Emperor in the world, and the status of the cabinet system can be seen from this.

    Zhu Yuanzhang suspected that the prime minister was in the way and removed the prime minister, and set up a puppet cabinet of six people. When he arrived in Yongle, the status of the cabinet was prominent, and after Yongle, the status of the cabinet was higher, surpassing the prime minister. The emperor's will can be dismissed.

    The best is the "Sanyang Cabinet".There is also Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of Wanli's cabinet, which is unprecedented.

    The cabinet system was only the emperor's secretary in the early days, but soon the power began to rise during the Xuande Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty (Sanyang Auxiliary Administration), although there were repeated in the last years of the Ming Orthodox Dynasty, but by the time of the Ming Dynasty Chenghua and Hongzhi Dynasty, the cabinet system has become enough to resist the imperial power of the civil ** representative. The Ming Zhengde Dynasty was romantic and belligerent, but because of Yang Tinghe and other cabinet veterans to support the cabinet did not become a big chaos, after the development of the Ming Jiajing and Longqing Dynasty, the early Ming Wanli Dynasty should be the period of extreme cabinet power, Zhang Juzheng's reform made the cabinet the center of the operation, and he was actually close to the status of the modern prime minister.

    The Emperor's Command The most important power of the cabinet chief assistant in the Ming Dynasty was the draft, and most of the emperor would listen to the cabinet's opinions, but it did not mean that the emperor would not read what the cabinet chief assistant had written. In the Ming Dynasty, the first assistant and the eunuchs who were in power were very afraid of the emperor's edict, as long as the emperor gave an order, no matter how powerful they were, they would fall to the ground. After all, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty only had part of the power of the previous prime minister, and they could not install party henchmen or control the army.

    Moreover, the emperors did not obey the opinions of the first ministers of the cabinet.

    At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there was no cabinet, but the Zhongshu Province was established following the system of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty cabinet was set up later.
