The official position of assistant minister had a long history. During the Western Han Dynasty, it was a kind of Lang Guan, and it was the inner court's personal attendant. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, he became a subordinate official of Shangshu. The official who served as the assistant minister for the first time was called "Zhongling". After serving for one year and passing the assessment, he was called "Shangshulang". After three years, he was called "assistant minister". In ancient history, Shangshulang and Shilang were important official positions. The minister usually held a position in the Minister's Office and handled government affairs around the emperor. As a subordinate of the minister, the assistant minister also participated in the management of related duties. Different dynasties might have different specific responsibilities and scope of power. For example, during the Cao Wei period, there were officials who served as Shangshulang, and there were also officials who served as assistant ministers and participated in the affairs of the court.

Shangshu was an official name in ancient China. Its responsibilities changed in different dynasties. For example, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was the highest officer of the government. In the Qin Dynasty, it was an official responsible for managing documents and delivering orders. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shangshu Ling became the head of all government orders. The prime minister was a general term or a common name for the highest administrative officer under the ancient China monarch. It was not a specific official name. There were dozens of specific names for their positions, which were different throughout the ages, such as Taizai, Xiang, Xiangbang, Xiangguo, Prime Minister, Great Minister (Eastern Han), Shangshu Ling, Zhongshu Ling, Shi Zhong, Zhongshu Scheeren, Shangshu Zuo Pushe, Shangshu You Pushe, Tongping Zhang Shi, Cabinet Grand Scholar (Ming Dynasty), Military Minister, Prime Minister (late Qing Dynasty), etc. Under certain circumstances, a minister could become an official of the prime minister level. For example, Shangshu Ling was the governor of Shangshu Province in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which was the prime minister level. In the Tang Dynasty, after Li Shimin, Shangshu Pushe became the governor of Shangshu Province, which was also the prime minister level. In the Qing Dynasty, officials who served as ministers of the six departments were veritable prime ministers.

In the ancient China official system, there was no such official position as minister. The prime minister was an official position under the prime minister system. It was one of the official titles of the prime minister. It was the leader of all officials and was in charge of all officials. It assisted the emperor in governing the country and ruled everything. The prime minister was first established by King Wu of Qin during the Warring States Period. There were left and right prime ministers. In the early Han Dynasty, there was only one prime minister. Because the early Han Dynasty implemented the parallel system of prefectures and states, there was also a prime minister in each country. In the 13th year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty (1380), Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the Ministry of Central Affairs and the prime minister system. At this point, the prime minister system that had been extended from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Ming Dynasty came to an end.

If the monarch suspects the minister, the minister will die. If the minister suspects the monarch, the minister will rebel. In the relationship between the feudal emperor and his courtiers, the emperor's suspicion would often cause the courtiers to fall into a desperate situation, because the emperor held the power of life and death. Once he had doubts about his courtiers, the courtiers might suffer a fatal disaster. When a subject had doubts about the emperor, it was often because they felt that their own safety was threatened. Under such circumstances, the subject might walk the path of rebellion. For example, many generals in history would be worried about their safety if they were suspected by the emperor when they had a large number of troops. If they felt the emperor's unfair treatment or sensed danger, they might also have the mentality of rebellion. From the perspective of 'if the sovereign suspects a subject, then the subject must die', a subject like Hou Junji, who had made illustrious military achievements, was now in danger after his actions were suspected by the sovereign. From the perspective of " if a minister suspects the monarch, the minister will rebel ", some ministers may rebel when they feel that the monarch's treatment is unfair or their lives are in danger. Of course, whether this rebellion succeeds or not is another matter. In many cases, even if the minister has a large number of troops, it is difficult to rebel successfully. This involves the emperor's power, the loyalty of the minister, feudal ethics and morality, and many other factors.
