Bu-Chen Zhang

The Bu-Chen Zhang is a group of nine high-ranking governmental officials, called Ministers. These ministers are all appointed by the Shou himself, and are appointed for life, unless the Shou finds sufficient reason to remove the Minister in question. Each member of the Bu-Chen Zhang is in charge of a specific thing, and it is up to the minister to formulate the policies that the Shou wishes his empire to have. The ministers of the Bu-Chen Zhang then inform the regional governors of the policies, and it is up to the regional governors to implement these policies.
