Bureaucracy
Grand Secretariat
The Nèigé was the inner advisory council that in practice governed the Míng empire, drafting edicts, mediating between the Emperor and the outer bureaucracy, and coordinating policy across the Six Boards. A properly resourced Grand Secretariat builds imperial prestige through decisive, unified governance — but an underfunded one loses the Emperor's ear, and the legitimacy it was created to sustain begins to erode.
