Bureaucrats were the emperor's courtiers and assistants, responsible for carrying out the emperor's orders and the administration of the country. The bureaucracy has a strict hierarchy and division of duties, and different levels of ** have different powers and responsibilities. Bureaucrats are responsible for managing the country's finances, military, laws, education, and other aspects, making important contributions to the country's development and prosperity.

On the other hand, the existence of the bureaucracy allowed the emperor's power to be checked and balanced, avoiding the abuse of power and personal **. At the same time, bureaucrats also shoulder the responsibility of governing the country and make important contributions to the country's development and prosperity.
