Chancellor

Chancellor (丞相) is an important position in the royal court. There are three known ranks that have the title of Chancellor: Chancellor of the Left (左丞相), Chancellor of the Right (右丞相) and Chancellor of the State (相国).

Chancellor of the State

Chancellor of the State could be considered the highest rank possible in Qin's royal court. The only known title above it would be fully accepted King. For years this position remained empty until Ryo Fui claimed it in 242 B.C. However, in 238 B.C. he was stripped of it due to treason and the seat became empty once again.
