明太祖初壹海內，仍元制，設中書省，綜理機務。 其官有丞相、平章、左右丞、參政，而吏、戶、禮、兵、刑、工六尚書為曹官。 行之壹紀，革中書省，歸其政於六部，遂設四輔官。 又仿宋制，置殿閣大學士，而其官不備，其人亦無所表見。 燮理無聞，何關政本，視前代宰執，迥乎異矣。 成祖簡翰林官直文淵閣，參預機務，有歷升至大學士者。 其時章疏直達御前，多出辰斷。 儒臣入直，備顧問而已。 至仁宗而後，諸大學士歷晉尚書、保、傅，品位尊崇，地居近密，而綸言批答，裁決機宜，悉由票擬，閣權之重偃然漢、唐宰輔，特不居丞相名耳。 諸輔之中，尤以首揆為重。 夫治道得失，人才用舍，理亂興衰，繄宰臣是系。 其賢邪忠佞，清正貪鄙，判若白黑，百世不可掩也。 行跡雖見紀傳，而除免歲月，不能盡悉，故備列於表。 傳曰：「欲知宰相賢否，視天下治亂。」 覽斯表者，可以證矣。
After the Hongwu Emperor united the empire, he kept the Yuan institutional model and established the Secretariat to administer the central affairs of government. Its posts comprised chief councillors, grand councillors, left and right vice councillors, and assistant administrators, while the six ministers of personnel, revenue, rites, war, justice, and works served as bureau heads. After a full cycle of use, the government abolished the Secretariat, returned its powers to the six ministries, and established four auxiliary posts. Following Song practice, they also created Grand Secretaries of the palace pavilions, yet those posts were not fully staffed and their occupants left little mark on governance. With no harmony in administration to speak of and no bearing on the foundations of policy, these offices bore little resemblance to the chief ministers of earlier ages. The Yongle Emperor drew Hanlin scholars to serve in the Wenyuan Pavilion, where they joined in deliberation over state affairs, and some rose through the ranks to become Grand Secretaries. Memorials and reports went straight to the throne, and most decisions came from the emperor's own morning sessions. Scholar-officials on palace duty served merely as consultants. From the Hongxi reign onward, Grand Secretaries were routinely promoted to ministerial and tutor ranks, gaining exalted status and proximity to the inner court. Imperial edicts, memorial responses, and policy decisions all flowed through their draft notes, and the Grand Secretariat wielded power comparable to Han and Tang chancellors—without the formal title of chief councillor. Among all the assistants, the chief grand secretary carried the greatest weight. Whether governance prospered or failed, talent was used well or poorly, and order rose or fell—all hinged on these chief ministers. The virtuous and wicked, the loyal and sycophantic, the upright and greedy among them stood apart as clearly as black from white, and their reputations could not be obscured even after centuries. Though their careers appear in the standard histories, appointment and dismissal dates are not always complete there, so this table supplies them. As the Classic says: "To know whether a chief minister is worthy, look at whether the realm is ordered or chaotic. Anyone who studies this table will find proof of that.

| Taizu, Hongwu year 1 (wushen cycle) | Director of the Secretariat: The Secretariat and the Chief Military Commission proposed following the Yuan model by creating a Director of the Secretariat for the crown prince. The Hongwu Emperor replied: "My son is still young, his studies incomplete, and his experience of affairs limited.
