As you know, during Hongtaiji’s early reign, the Deliberative Council of Princes and Ministers(議政王大臣) was an advisory body for the monarch. But, Hongtaiji gradually set up the Inner Three Courts(內三院), the Six Ministries(6部), the Censorate(都察院) and the Lifan Yuan(理藩院), he had strengthen the powers of the monarch. The Inner Three Courts and the Six Ministries were main policy-making body during the early Qing period. It is important to analyze that emperors appointed someone.

The number of officials comprising organizations varied from time to time, they staffed mainly by members of the Imperial clan or descendants of Founding contributor. These flow continued even the Shunzhi Emperor started to rule personally.
