How good was the previous Eight Houses Patrol? What is our current position? The power turned out to be so great
Speaking of the "Eight Houses Patrol", everyone will definitely think of Zhou Xingchi's representative work "Nine Pin Sesame Officer". In the play, Zhou Xingchi is the "Inspector of the Eight Houses", the emperor's chincha minister. Wherever Zhou Xingchi went, officials large and small all bowed down and bowed. How much power does this official position really have? What position is equivalent to today? Do you know?
Zhou Xingchi's "Nine Pin Sesame Officer", we don't know how many times we have watched it, and we can say that we have a thorough understanding of the plot in the film. Bao Longxing, played by Stephen Chow, initially wanted to be a corrupt official, but was framed by the high official and lost his black hat. After that, after a series of coincidences, Bao Longxing became the "Eight Houses Patrol" given by the emperor, that is, the hand-picked Minister of Chincha. At this point, Bao Longxing can be described as a salted fish turned over, shamed before the snow, and became a good official for the people's life
As for the official position of the Eight Provinces Inspectorate, everyone may be a little unfamiliar, we have heard it many times, but we do not know how big this official position really is. To be honest, this official position is not big, but the power is amazing
On top of the real history, there is no official position of inspector of the Eight Provinces, but instead of the inspector of the imperial history. The official position of the inspector of the imperial history is not like the inspector of the eight provinces in the film, which is a one-pin official position, but a minor official of seven or eight pins. To put it bluntly, the official position of inspector of the imperial history is only one pin higher than that of the nine pin sesame officials. It seems that there is no difference, but in fact, there is a world of difference between the two
The Nine Pin Sesame Officer is a petty official with no rank and no power, the Nine Pin Sesame Officer can be described as a real petty official, while the Inspector Yushi is different. Although the imperial history of the Patrol is of low rank, it is very powerful. The Inspector Ofe was the inspector under the ancient imperial system, supervising anyone but the emperor. They don't have much power, but everyone is afraid. Entering the dprk as an official, no one was afraid of provoking the inspector of the imperial history. Everyone knows in their hearts that it is not a good thing to be provoked by this group of people. It can be said that the officials at that time were all afraid of this group of inspectors from the bottom of their hearts
Inspector Yushi has great power and holds the power of life and death in his hands. The Imperial History is the emperor's eyes, ears, and rapid travel around the world, investigating the civil situation for the emperor. Wherever there are grievances and wrongful cases, they cannot escape the investigation of the inspector Yushi. The corrupt officials of ancient times were no less afraid of the imperial history than the king of Yan Luo. Once he is caught by the inspector Yushi, he is bound to die
Inspector Yushi is directly under the emperor's orders, and the emperor is sent by the emperor to supervise other officials in various places, no matter how big or small your official position is, how many people are in charge, it is within the scope of his supervision. There were too many officials, and the emperor would not investigate one by one, and judging the quality of the officials mainly depended on the reflection of the inspector's imperial history. Even if it is a good official who serves the country and the people, as long as the inspector says a bad word, the emperor will not reuse it.
This is the drawback of ancient society, but then again, most of the inspectors are good officials who seek truth from facts and do not frame local officials. If the position of Inspector of imperial history is placed to this day, they exist like the Discipline Inspection Commission. The role of the Discipline Inspection Commission is to supervise local officials and let them really do things for the people. In this way, the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission coincides with the duties of the Inspector Of History thousands of years ago
Inspector Yushi was an important official position in ancient times, although the rank was very low, but the power was huge. Under the ancient imperial system, it was very important to patrol the imperial history. Because of the emergence of the imperial history of the inspectorate, to a certain extent, the breeding of corruption among local officials was reduced. What are your different views on this?
