摘要
明代内阁最初是皇帝的秘书机构,其权力呈现逐渐增长趋势。至正嘉之际,皇权虚空,事实上形成了以内阁为核心的、强有力的官僚行政系统。这种中枢权力结构体势由于杨廷和一派在"大礼议"事件中的失败而未制度化,从而形成议礼后内阁权力相对于皇权的削弱,相对于行政系统的增大,以及阁臣间更频繁争斗的局面。这些变化对明后期的政局产生了深远的影响。
Cabinet in the beginning of the Ming Dynasty functioned as a secretary body to the Emperor. Its power gradually increased then. In the turning point of Zhengde and Jiajing emperors, there appeared a temporary imperial power vacant. In this situation, the Cabinet led a structural change toward a powerful bureaucratic administrative system. This power structure was not institutionalized due to the failure of Yang Tinghe and his followers in the Great Ritual Controversy. As a result, the Cabinet significantly lost its checking authority to the further strengthened imperial power although the Cabinet actually enhanced its control of the bureaucracy. This structure further stimulated the power struggle among the Cabinet members.
