In the early Qing Dynasty, following the Ming system, there were four halls and two pavilions, namely Baohe Hall, Zhonghe Hall, Wenhua Hall, Wuying Hall, Wenyuan Pavilion and Dongfang Pavilion. However, the cabinet is subject to the Council of Ministers, and it is only an institution that conveys rules and regulations. College students do not enter the cabinet to handle affairs.
During the Qianlong period, the "Zhonghetang University" was changed to the "Tijen Hall University" and became the "Three Halls and Three Halls University", with two Manchu universities and one Manchu university as a backup. The actual power of the Qing cabinet was restricted by the previous meeting of ministers of state, and then the military department became the nominal leader of the hundred ministers at that time.

Ming Chengzu began to open a pavilion in Wen Yuan Pavilion, recruited university students to join the pavilion, and sent Jie Jin, Hu Guang, Yang Rong and other Hanlin officials to join the Wen Yuan Pavilion to participate in the maintenance. Since then, some people have gradually become college classmates, but their grades are only positive five. Injong added a university student to the Temple of God (later converted into Jidian Temple). After that, the college student often used these three orphans as ministers, and his status was respected. He drafted imperial edicts for the emperor, directed and approved the memorial, and was called assistant minister. Sanyang (,Yang Rong, Yang Pu) entered the cabinet during the period, and many of them were upright and all rivers run into the sea.
The first of the college students, called the record, has the greatest power and right to draft a ticket. After the mid-Ming Emperor's reign, the power of the cabinet developed rapidly, but the recording power of university students still could not be compared with that of previous prime ministers.
