The Inspector Yushi was selected by the Emperor from the thirteen central inspectors of the Imperial History, and the official rank was from qipin. The function of supervising the imperial history includes both central and local functions. The main functions of the central authorities are to inspect and examine the official documents of the two capital yamen directly subordinate to the south and the north, as well as to supervise the work of each yamen; to inspect various military barracks, conduct military supervision, and examine the military's training and garrison; to supervise the examination situation at the scene of the township examination, the meeting test, and the martial arts examination; to inspect the warehouses and inner warehouses of the economic powerhouses and the inner treasury to audit the financial cashiers; and to correct the disrespect of officials when holding the imperial meeting; and so on.
Patrol the functions of the Imperial History
The functions of supervising the imperial history in the local area are divided into two parts: one is the inspector imperial history of comprehensive supervision, and the other is the special inspector imperial history of special supervision and inspection. For example, to Shaanxi to patrol the tea horses; to the two Huai, two Zhejiang, Hedong areas to patrol the salt; to inspect the water transport, patrol customs and so on. These areas or passes involve important economic fields and are frequent places for corruption and corruption, and special counterpart inspections can effectively prevent the occurrence of corruption cases.
The supervision of the imperial history at the local level, the most important thing is the supervision of the imperial history, which is the main trunk of the supervision from the central to the local level. The scope of the inspectorate's affairs was very extensive. These include administrative supervision, judicial supervision, economic supervision, and the implementation of indoctrination. It can be seen from this that the inspector of the imperial history supervises the local second and third officials with the officials of the seven pins, and it can be seen that the inspector of the imperial history is so powerful that in order to ensure that the inspector of the imperial history is small and large, and performs the functions of the noble with a low price.
The inspectorate operates in accordance with the supervision of the imperial history
The Ming Dynasty made detailed provisions on the dispatch and function of the patrol imperial history, as well as the system of returning to the road to inspect the inspection of the inspectorate, and gave the inspector the imperial history great power and more strict management, ensuring the smooth progress of the operation process of the inspection of the imperial history.
The inspector shall follow the disciplinary regulations of the imperial history
According to the records of the "Great Ming Hui Code", the patrol should go to the local areas according to the imperial history to carry out patrols, and the aspects of clothing, food, shelter, and transportation should be simplified and must not be extravagant and wasteful; the expenses incurred in the process of patroling and the expenses incurred in the process of inspection must not be reimbursed by the supervised organs, and must be strictly separated from the local organs being supervised to prevent the formation of interest links. Except for reasons related to official duties, local specialties must not be inquired about, and relatives and friends must not be invited before handling official duties, so as to prevent the supervised officials from taking advantage of the opportunity to pay bribes and cheat; local supervised officials are not allowed to go out of the local boundary to greet them; if the inspectors have a vendetta against the officials of the patrol areas, they must recuse themselves; in the process of going out on the tour, it is forbidden to bring their family members with them, and it is forbidden to take advantage of the opportunity to go home during the tour, so as to prevent the inspectors from missing official duties and ensure that they concentrate on handling relevant administrative affairs. This series of institutional provisions is quite meticulous, and some of them are of great significance even now.
The Inspector of imperial history shall follow the specific functions and powers of the locality
The scope of supervision of the inspectorate is very broad, and to sum up, it mainly includes the following aspects: First, administrative supervision. In the process of supervision, if it is found that officials with more than five pins have violated the law and committed crimes, they must be corrected by the emperor and personally disposed of by the emperor, and officials below six pins can be questioned if the facts of the crime such as greed for ink are clear. This is the main function of the Inspector Ofe. The system of patrolling the imperial history played an important role in clarifying the rule of local officials. Second, brush the scrolls. The so-called "brush scroll", "photo" means clear inspection, "brush" means to scratch and investigate. That is, the supervision officer goes to each gate to check the archives. It is mainly to check the handling of documents in each gate. Whether there is improper handling, excessive backlog, and violations of law and discipline for personal gain.
At last
On the basis of the Song Dynasty's method of grinding and transferring officials, the Yuan Dynasty formally formed an inspection system for brushing scrolls. In the Ming Dynasty, the system of brushing scrolls was better implemented at the central and local levels. In order to better standardize the system of brushing scrolls, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang promulgated a law on "Brushing Scrolls" in the 26th year of Hongwu, which made specific and detailed provisions on the scope, procedures, and relevant special language of brushing scrolls. Through the system of brushing documents, the work of officials at all levels is tracked and controlled to prevent unburned problems. At the same time, the inspection instrument has become the main way for the supervision officer to exercise the supervision power.
