Decentralization among the three provinces will inevitably lead to wrangling and inefficiency. In order to coordinate actions among the three provinces, the heads of the three provinces regularly hold discussions in the government hall of Menxia Province. Since the period of Wude, Zhongshu and Menxia have gathered in the government hall, which is located in the province of Menxia.
During the Yongchun period in Tang Gaozong, "Pei Yan moved to Zhongshu Order from his own position, so he moved to Zhongshu Province." Thus, the central position of Zhongshu Province was established. In the 11th year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Shuling, the secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), said that the government hall was changed to the door of the CPC, and the seal of the government hall was also changed to the door of the CPC, and then it was divided into five rooms: officials, cardinals, soldiers, households and criminal ceremonies. Since then, Zhongshu has officially become the office of the Prime Minister.
