In ancient times, the rank of this thing was not as important as the official position of real power, and at any time the official position of real power was more important than the grade. The rank of the Tang Dynasty prime minister was not fixed, and in theory, officials with more than five pins could serve as prime minister and exercise the power of prime minister.
Di Renjie is the famous face of the Tang Dynasty, due to the martial arts performance and the shaping of film and television dramas, Di Renjie has become a detective, and is now the hottest Tang Dynasty prime minister. Of course, this has deviated from history and belongs to the drama adaptation.
Historically, Di Renjie served as chancellor twice, but it was already Wu Zetian's Wuzhou Dynasty, not the Tang Dynasty. Di Renjie's official positions were Tongfengge Luantai Pingzhangshi, Nayan, and Neishi. He had been in the position of prime minister for almost six years, but although he was the prime minister, his rank was only that of a positive third grade.
Tongfengge Luantai Pingzhangshi, Nayan, Neishi and other official positions were commonly used in the Tang Dynasty, Tongfengge Luantai Pingzhangshi was Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, Nayan was the Governor of Menxia, Neishi was Zhongshu Governor Zhongshu Ling, and Shuzhong and Zhongshu Ling were all Zhengsanpin before the Tang Dynasty.
Tongfengge Luantai Pingzhangshi is also tongzhongshu menxia pingzhangshi has no grade regulations, generally six shangshu or shilang, Shangshu province left and right Cheng jia this official title to become the prime minister, in the government affairs hall to discuss, handle military affairs.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were many official positions in Zhengsanpin, including Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong, Liubu Shangshu, Sixteen Wei Generals, Prince Guests, Tai Changqing, Crown Prince Zhan Shi, Zhongdu Governor, shangdu protector, and so on.
There are more than fifty zhengsanpin officials in total, but although the grades of these fifty or so zhengsanpin officials are the same, the power position is far worse, the reason is that the position of real power is much more important than the grade.
For example, Zhongshu Ling and Shizhong were the governors of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, the prime minister of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, and the head of the Tang Dynasty prime minister, who not only had the power of the prime minister, but also commanded hundreds of officials, and directly entered the government affairs hall to deal with the affairs of the military state and the daily affairs of the imperial court.
The six Shangshu had to obey the orders of the Prime Minister, and their power and status were far worse than those of the Prime Minister. If there is an official title of Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi or Tongzhongshu Menxia Sanpin, you can enter the government affairs hall to discuss and deal with military affairs, and he is also a veritable prime minister.
The same is true of the Sixteen Wei Generals, as long as there is an official title of Tong zhongshu menxia Pingzhangshi or Tongzhongshu menxia sanpin who is also the prime minister, he can also enter the government affairs hall to discuss and deal with military affairs. Otherwise, they must obey the dispatch and arrangement of the prime minister.
The crown prince guest and the prince Zhan Shi are the prince's teachers or subordinate officials are also real power positions, Tai Changqing is the head of the Nine Qing, but the power is not large, it is responsible for sacrifice, as long as there is the official title of Tong zhongshu menxia Pingzhangshi or Tongzhongshu menxia Sanpin, you can also serve as the prime minister.
The above Zhengsanpin officials are all Jingguan, and the Governor of Zhongdu and Shangdu Are Both Local Positions, and Do not Hold the Position of Prime Minister.
Theoretically, the Jing officials above the five pins of the Tang Dynasty could serve as prime ministers, but there must be a title of Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi or Tongzhongshu Menxia Sanpin.
For example, Huangmen Shilang, Zhongshu Shilang, Shangshu Zuo cheng, Liubu Shilang, Shangshu Right Cheng, etc. are all positions of ZhengSipin, but there are many posts of prime minister with Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi. Zheng Zhi Dafu and Zhongshu Sheren were all Zheng Wupin officials who also had the official title of Ping Zhangshi under the Zhongshu Menxia to hold the position of prime minister.
The government affairs hall was the place where the Tang Dynasty prime minister discussed the affairs of the military state and handled political affairs, and it was also the power center of the entire imperial court. In the Tang Dynasty, as long as he was the prime minister, he could enter the government affairs hall to handle political affairs, regardless of grade.
Although the prime minister is of no matter the size of the rank, but the power is much greater, as long as the prime minister is able to deal with the major affairs of the military state, the six ministries, nine secretaries, sixteen guards and the history of each state must only be the head of the prime minister.
Therefore, Di Renjie's official rank was Zheng Sanpin (正三品), but his position was that of the prime minister, and his power was above that of other Zheng Sanpin officials, and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu who was not the prime minister could be disposed of.
Therefore, in "Detective Di Renjie", Di Renjie angrily rebuked the great general Wang Xiaojie, and Di Renjie's beheading of Xue Qinglin, the Marquis of Pingnan, was not false. Because Di Renjie was the prime minister, Wang Xiaojie was only a great general, although they were all Zhengsanpin officials, while Xue Qinglin's rank was only from Sanpin. However, Di Renjie could enter the government affairs hall to discuss the matter, while Wang Xiaojie could not.
The position of real power in the Tang Dynasty was far more important than the rank, because the official positions of the Tang Dynasty were somewhat special, such as the three divisions of ZhengYipin (太師. Taifu, Taibao) position is too honorable, generally not easy to grant to others, Zheng Yipin's three dukes (Tai Wei, Situ, Sikong) to award officials a lot of cases, generally are meritorious ministers, or posthumous gifts after the death of officials.
However, the officials of the three dukes granted to the living ministers would all add the position of Pingzhangshi under the Zhongshu Menxia to become the prime minister, and there were very few cases of not adding the Pingzhangshi under the Zhongshu Menxia.
Zheng Erpin's official position was a Shang Shu Ling, and as a result, because Li Shimin had served before, no one held the throne after Li Shimin ascended the throne, and usually the rank of the Tang Dynasty prime minister was Zheng Sanpin or even Zheng Si Pin.
This shows that the centralization of power in the Tang Dynasty was not too good, the power structure was relatively chaotic, and the power of the prime minister's position was very large, so the emperor lowered his rank in order to divide the power of the prime minister, or used the group phase system.
In addition, there are many dispatched positions, such as deposing envoys, interview envoys, observation envoys, moderation envoys, pacification envoys, salt and iron envoys, and so on. None of these positions have ranks, but some of them still have great power, such as the emissary of moderation, the envoy of salt and iron, and so on.
The Tang Dynasty jiedushi made the company have no rank, but it was a real official position with real power, military power, and administrative power and supervision power over the localities. In addition to the three towns of Heshuo, other jiedushi entered the center to serve as the prime minister, that is, the prime minister.
However, in the late Tang Dynasty, the envoys of jiedushi added (inspection) official titles such as Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong, Shangshu Servant, etc., and also added the title of Pingzhang, thus becoming an envoy. However, although they had the official title of prime minister, they could not handle the actual affairs of the imperial court. However, jiedushi had great power in the local area, and eventually became the princes of the divided side.
For example, the inspectors of the Ming Dynasty did not have a fixed grade, but they had various powers such as administrative, military, supervision, and judicial powers in a province, and became the highest local administrative officials above the "three divisions", and the grade was fixed as a second grade in the Qing Dynasty. The same is true of the viceroy of the Ming Dynasty, which was only Zheng Erpin in the Qing Dynasty.
The position of great general in the Qing Dynasty did not have a rank, but the power was much greater, and it could restrain the local governors to patrol the viceroys, etc., especially the Qing Dynasty's people who served as great generals were also very famous, the Pingxi general Wu Sangui, and the Fuyuan general Nian Qianyao. Such posts are only special periods and are generally not permanent.
In ancient times, it was common for power and rank to match, the centralization of power began to strengthen, the Song Dynasty began to have a military general's status inferior to that of civilian officials, military attaches saw civilian officials, automatically two levels shorter, and military generals of the same level had to perform ceremonies when they saw civilian officials, which was the same in the Ming and Qing dynasties, after all, at this time, civilian officials held a lot of power.
