The supreme ruler of the central Qin Dynasty is the emperor, and below the emperor, the most important official positions in the central government are the "three gongs", that is, the prime minister, the royal lieutenant, and the yushi doctor, collectively called the "three gongs."
【Prime Minister】: During the Warring States Period, Qin was originally the prime minister and the prime minister. After the country was unified, he was called the prime minister. Li Si was the first prime minister and the head of the hundred officials. "Golden Seal and Purple Ribbon, the emperor in the hand, the assistant to the world."
【Taiwei】: Formerly known as Wei and Guowei, after uniting the country, it was called Taiwei. The "Golden Seal and Purple Ribbon" was in charge of military affairs, and the "Main Five Soldiers" were the chiefs of military officers.
【Doctor of Yushi】: The original Yushi of Qin State, and the post of Yushi doctor "Twenty-two in the state". The Doctor Yushi is in charge of supervision, "Silver Seal Green Ribbon, in charge of Deputy Prime Minister", his position is slightly second to the prime minister.
Under the "San Gong", there is the so-called "Nine Qings", but the actual number is not limited to nine. Most of them are from the original Qin Dynasty, and a few are newly created after the reunification:
【Fengchang】: The etiquette of the Zhangzong Temple, there is Cheng.
【Langzhongling】: Responsible for the protection and communication of the emperor, and his subordinates include doctors, doctors, and evangelists.
【Weiwei】: The guards in charge of the palace, there are Cheng.
【Tai Pu】: Take charge of the Royal East Malaysia.
【Ting Wei】: In charge of punishment, the highest judicial officer in the country, with righteous, left and right prisons.
【Dianke】: In charge of the ethnic minorities under the rule of the Qin Dynasty.
【Zongzheng】: There are two factors in the affairs of relatives in the clan.
[Zhisu Nei Shi]: There are two kinds of grain products.
【Shaofu】: The tax of mountains, seas and ponds responsible for supplying the royal family is six cheng.
[Lieutenant]: Responsible for the defense of the capital, there are two Cheng.
Lord Lieutenant】: Palm Lieutenant.
During the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang, an important feature of centralized power was that the military and political power was monopolized by the emperor. In order not to lose power, the prime minister, chief lieutenant, and doctor of censorship were divided into political, military, and supervisory powers, and they did not belong to each other. For example, the prime minister led court meetings and concerts, assisted the emperor in daily affairs, and received "plans" from various places.
But the power of commanding the army belongs to the Taiwei, and the Yushi also has the right to review the minister’s performance and the local "scheme". Although Taiwei was named the highest military commander, he actually only had the right to lead troops, not the right to dispatch troops. As the three publics do not belong to each other, the final decision can only be attributed to the emperor.
