Abstract: It  has been  considered in the historical circles that Emperor  Yongzheng  set  up  the Grand  Council  to weaken the power of the Cabinet,and  strengthened  his  own authority.The  author disagrees with the notion that  the Grand  Council  conflicted  with the Cabinet，and that the former’s  growth meant the latter’s decline.The  power  of  the  Cabinet was  not crippled after the Grand Council was  set  up.This paper also argues that the system  of Memorializing  the  throne was not initiated  by Emperor Kangxi.It can  be traced back to  the  tradition of the official discussion  which emerged in  the  Shunzhi  Reign.
