Grand Council (Qing dynasty)
The Grand Council or Junjichu (; Manchu: coohai nashun i ba; literally, "Office of Military Secrets") was an important policy-making body during the Qing dynasty. It was established in 1733 by the Yongzheng Emperor. The Council was originally in charge of military affairs, but gradually attained a more important role and eventually attained the role of a privy council, eclipsing the Grand Secretariat in function and importance, which is why it has become known as the "Grand Council" in English.
