Such a direction of reformation was also reflected in the establishment of the 22 Departments(22部). The outer government office(外官) was reformed in a way to guarantee the political activities of the noted 8 families. However it shows that innovative political ideology of ꡔZuruyi(周禮)ꡕ was reflected on setting the outer government office because some departments of the outer government office had the same term of the departments which appeared in ꡔZuruyiꡕ. Finally the outer government office was arranged as the political activities of the noted 8families were guaranteed and the king’s power was established. In the case of the inner government office(內官), there were many cases that the duties of some departments were overlapped with that of the outer government office and there were even inconsistent duties in the inner government office. It shows that the field for political activities was enlarged as the king’s power was reinforced. Finally the inner government office was arranged in a way to support the king’s power. All departments which belonged to the inner government office and the outer government office were arranged at the same level.
