Don't look at the title to think that the editor is in nonsense, indeed just from the official position, everyone knows that the ancient three pins are definitely higher than the four pins, but the situation of this title really happened in the ancient Ming Dynasty in China, and not only was one of them happy because of the descent from the three pins to the positive four pins. The low-key one steals the music himself, and the high-key one is eager to ride the horse to run to "Shane".
The Wanliye Harvest Chapter, Volume 20, Jing Zhi, Jing Guan Shoulder Public Opinion, is an ancient book dedicated to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, and one of the sentences is "In the capital Sanpin minister must sit in a car." Although the imperial history of the ascension of the Guanglu Tai Servant Qing is very majestic, it is said that from three to four, there is a saying of lifting the car to thank you and riding to Ren. ”
Officials who served in the capital during the Ming Dynasty could only obtain the qualification to ride on a palanquin to the court after becoming a minister of the three pins, so it was wrong for the officials we see in the TV series to travel in a sedan car. What about traveling under the three products? You can only commute to work on horseback. The two positions of Guanglu Qing and Tai Shu Qing were both from Sanpin at that time, but Yu Du Yushi was only Zheng Si Pin .
Logically speaking, from three pins to four pins, officials would certainly be very frustrated; but according to the above-mentioned documents, although there is a world of difference from riding a sedan to riding a horse, the officials are very happy, carrying the sedan to thank you, and riding a horse with joy and joy. The reason is simple: this official must not only look at the rank, but also look at the department.
In terms of the nature of his position, this Guangluqing was responsible for the affairs of the Ceremonial Department, so he obeyed the orders of the Ceremonial Department; but from the perspective of specific matters, these various banquet matters were indispensable to dealing with the Imperial Dining Room, so Guangluqing was also subject to the supervision of the Imperial Catering Supervisor and Eunuch, and it can be said that although he was one of the high-ranking officials of the Three Pins, his actual actions were restricted everywhere.
And the servant Qing is not a servant, the servant is the deputy of Shangshu Province, since the Shangshu Order was false, the servant is a veritable prime minister, until the Song Dynasty was abandoned. What is Tai Shu Qing? It is the official in charge of the emperor's public opinion and horse politics, which is explained by an official position that everyone is more familiar with, that is, Bow Ma Wen.
After explaining Guanglu Qing and Tai Shu Qing, let's explain what kind of official Yu Du Yushi is. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was an inspectorate, to put it bluntly, it was the imperial history of the former dynasty, which was specially responsible for supervising and impeaching hundred officials, and even the emperor could criticize a few words without any problem, "the duty to correct the hundred officials, to distinguish the wrongs, to supervise the various ways, and to be the head of the Heavenly Son."
In the Ming Dynasty, we understand that the requirements for the words and deeds of officials are particularly strict, and they will make mistakes inexplicably, and the Inspectorate is specially picked out, even if a pint officer eats a more luxurious dish for the Inspectorate one night, he can impeach this pin officer.
Of course, the general imperial history is not so boring, there is nothing to stare at what colleagues eat at night, the introduction of this is mainly to express the actual power of the imperial history, is greater than the performance. This is still the case for ordinary imperial history, not to mention the imperial history of the capital Yudu, whose status is second only to that of the left and right vice capitals.
Guanglu Qing and Tai Shu Qing and Yu Du Yushi are not one department, the former two are equivalent to administrative departments, and the latter is the supervision department. But don't look at the first two from the three pins, the latter is only the positive four pins, whether it is the actual power, or the status of the officials, and even the image in the emperor's heart, is much higher than the first two.
This is why these officials of the Ming Dynasty were not worried and happy after they were demoted from sanpin to zhengsipin, which was not the case for all officials, but only for such officials who had changed their actual powers.
