The emperor's imperial power
The title of "emperor" originated from the three emperors and five emperors in ancient legends. After the unification of the six countries, Ying Zheng, king of Qin, thought that he was "both a sage and a Huang San who contributed to the Five Emperors", and decided to use "Emperor" as the exclusive title of the highest political head of the county-based dynasty with unprecedented unity, thus establishing a political system of autocratic imperial power. Under this system, the emperor is the core and power subject of an autocratic centralized state, the legal head of state and the person in charge of the supreme ruling power. The emperor rules the world by himself, and the land, resources, people and wealth of the whole country belong to him. It can be said that "ruling Liuhe with supreme power to strike the world", "the foundation of the world is no small or big, and everything depends on it". The emperor can decide the honor and disgrace of anyone's life and death, and can "poison the liver and brain of the world and scatter the sons of the world." "Those who are governed by the wise master are six: the living, the killers, the rich, the poor, the noble, the base, and those who are governed by the master." The emperor is the only supreme decision-maker in the country's political affairs. He has the right to command and direct the central court, local military and political systems and civil and military officials at all levels, demanding that they absolutely obey their own will and instructions. All instructions issued in the name of the emperor are endowed with sacred and inviolable status. "I am the law", and no disobedience or opposition is allowed. Only the emperor can decide the promulgation and interpretation of all laws, the appointment, dismissal, reward and punishment, promotion and demotion of civil and military officials at a certain level, the collection and expenditure of state financial taxes, foreign peace and war, and the dispatch and command of the army.

The emperor controls and directs the operation of the whole state machine. He mastered the social, military and political information of the whole country and carried out daily ruling activities mainly through lectures, discussions and spying. There is a difference between face-to-face performance and book performance. Meeting means that ministers and nobles with certain status report the situation to the emperor, answer questions or ask for instructions. Playing books is a kind of official who has the qualification to play books, and submits documents through certain channels for the emperor to make a ruling for approval. There are mainly chapters, tables, books, opening, discussion, thinning, sealing, inscription, monument, tables, books and so on. Different languages have different scope of use and functions, and confusion and misuse are not allowed. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, the secret playing system was implemented. Not only the scope of performers is strictly defined, but also the performers have to write by themselves. Before or after the broadcast, it is not allowed to reveal the content to anyone, and it is not allowed to show it to anyone after receiving the instructions of the emperor (called Zhu Pi), and it must be returned within a time limit, and copying is not allowed. The secret performance system reflects the extreme rise of imperial power in the late imperial society.
