People can't help but feel funny is that in ancient times, such a phenomenon appeared, from the three-pin official to the positive four-pin official is a happy thing, people according to normal thinking should not want to be promoted, how can this demotion but be happy, what is the situation?
Such a kind of thing happened during the Ming Dynasty, and it is recorded in the history books that the officials who held the official position of Sanpin in the capital were promoted from Guanglu Taibuqing to Youdu Yushi, and from Sanpin officials to Zhengsipin instead wanted to thank the monarch. According to normal logical thinking, this is not a demotion, how can you still carry a large palanquin to thank the monarch. In fact, this is a huge change in the content of work, from three products to four products, the work content of these three products is not a good job, not only easy to worry about, but also can not get a better income.
As early as the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Southern Liang had a very famous official position named Guangluqing, in fact, this position is between the four pins and the three pins, mainly responsible for what work content, originally responsible for sacrifices, state banquets, meetings and other matters, listening to the content seems to be good, in fact, it is just to serve those magnates to eat and drink errands, thankless. He was responsible for the daily meals and diets of the monarch's relatives and relatives of hundreds of people. Hard work, not to mention, if the arranged diet is not welcomed one day, it will be punished accordingly, and you say who is willing to be responsible for this gas errand.
In this way, people will wonder, is this Too Servant Qing a good errand, and what kind of work is specifically responsible for it, but it is responsible for the management of horses and cars, is this different from the work done by Qi Tian Dasheng in the Heavenly Palace? He also managed hundreds of veterinarians, although it was not prestigious to manage the nation's large carriages. Even if this Jindu Yushi was only a four-pin family member who was the highest person in charge of the Inspectorate, his status was there. Even if the Inspectorate is a Qipin official, the matters managed by the Inspectorate are still relatively special. The imperial history system of the Ming Dynasty period was not a joke, although this level was not high, in fact, the control of things was relatively large. Officials who are specifically responsible for supervising those who do not do good things will be impeached if they find unreasonable.
Although after being impeached, it is not a heinous crime, but it is reported directly to the monarch, and this scope is extremely extensive, the work attitude is not serious to impeach you, whether it is properly dressed, if there is a moral offense, it will still impeach you, which will make those officials tired of being impeached.
In addition to maintaining daily order in the capital area, he would also be sent to various regions for patrols, and during the process of local officials' appointments, whether the local people obeyed the order was within the scope of his examination and supervision, and every time something happened in the various areas, they would report to the monarch, which was actually exercising the monarch's administration of the place. This errand is considered decent, like the Sanpin officials usually have to pay attention to their own words and deeds, the local clan king will naturally meet them will be very polite, when this cabinet minister Zhang Juzheng was impeached by him, naturally this supervision ability is still very strong.
During the Tang Dynasty, such an incident occurred, Jiedushi was promoted by the imperial court, but he was a warrior, did not understand the division of labor in this dynasty, only knew that Shangshu to the servant was promoted, he was full of unhappiness, so he detained all the soldiers sent by the monarch to comfort him.
This ministry of works and the department of officials are also belonging to the ministry of work, and the dispatch from the ministry of works to the department of officials is nominally only a parallel transfer, but this department of officials is in charge of the promotion or demotion of officials throughout the country, how can it be said that this department is inferior to the ministry of works, all officials are eager to be able to get the attention of the ministry. The Ministry of Works is responsible for the construction of the palace, whether the construction of the project cut corners, and whether the quality meets the standards. Naturally, in this comparison, you can know which one is more powerful.
There are some unspoken rules that are not known to be possessed in modern society, but also appear in ancient societies. The human society that has been formed over thousands of years will naturally appear in every period. The content and nature of the work often lead to a much larger real power than the nominal amount. Therefore, not only pay attention to grade when promoting, but also pay special attention to the scope of work.
