'Ministers and officials': 'minister' (zai) means master; 'official' (guan) means functional capacity. This refers to the Three Platforms who, through their functional capacity, are able to assist the master in governance, hence they are called ministers and officials. Commandery and county [magistrates] are also called ministers and officials, because they govern the people beneath them.
