Their highest officials are the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu of the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, and the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty. , the Minister of Criminal Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty. They are often collectively referred to as "Nine Qings" together with the Censor of the Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Secretary of the General Affairs Department, and the Minister of Dali Temple.
In the Ming Dynasty, the appointment of important ministers must be publicly recommended by the Jiuqing, governors and governors of other provinces. This was the court recommendation. Major national affairs and important matters that cannot be decided by each ministry alone must be decided by the nine ministers. This is the court meeting. For large-scale prison cases that cannot be decided by the Three Law Divisions, the Jiuqing will hold a meeting to determine the prison. This is called Tingju or Yuanjing. It and the Ming Dynasty cabinet formed the administrative power center and decision-making core of the Ming Dynasty.
