In general, the grand secretaries do not appoint a junior counsel, after the chief grand secretary resigns, one of the two associate grand secretaries will be selected as the new chief.
Only if both associate grand secretaries are deemed unsuitable would a junior counsel position be created.
The interests of the junior counsel conflict with those of the associate grand secretaries and the powerful interest chains behind them. Because it often faces strong opposition from grand secretaries, but it is indeed a new method of reform, thus it has gained the support of the Emperor.
