制度改革是否得当关系到朝代兴衰。明太祖为了加强君主专制,废除丞相制度。为了弥补丞相制度废除带来的不足,内阁制逐渐形成。由于内阁作为内侍和顾问机构,没有法定地位,在中枢权利运作机制中权责不明,带来诸多问题,导致了明朝统治阶级内部矛盾重重,加剧了社会危机,走向衰亡。 Whether the system reform is properly related to the rise and fall of the dynasty. Ming Taizu in order to strengthen monarchy, abolished the prime minister system. In order to make up for the lack of the prime minister’s system, the cabinet system gradually formed. Because the cabinet, as a chamberlain and consultant, has no statutory status, the rights and responsibilities of the Central Authorities’ operation mechanism are unclear, bringing about many problems. As a result, the internal contradictions among the Ming dynasty ruling classes have intensified the social crisis and the decline.
