In May of the first year of Chongde (1636), the newly proclaimed emperor Taiji set up a capital inspection court and adopted a restoration system with national characteristics, and the chief was Zuo Du Yushi. The Emperor Taiji has a thickness in rank, stipulating that the full staff is one product and the Han member is two products, but in terms of authority, it is stipulated: Anyone who has a political paradox, and the Minister of Baylor arrogantly infringes on the emperor, is greedy and lawless, and is rude and arrogant, the court can speak bluntly. Even if the play is false, it is not guilty; if it is deceived, it is punished as a misleading country.

The purpose of Huang Taiji's political reform in this way was very simple, that is, to completely resolve the power impasse that "the people of the country have met and sat south of the three great belles" (Records of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, vol. 11, Tiancong's sixth year of the first month of the month). He did not want to "have the false name of a Khan, it is really no different from the Yellow Banner and a Baylor" (Tiancong Courtiers Gong Gong Discussion volume), so during the Tiancong years, he took various means to weaken the three major Baylor forces, end the Eight and Shuo Belle co-governing system, and then pushed the centralized rule of the Khan to the Emperor's exclusive Qing Dynasty imperial power system.

In order to meet the needs of the political and social development of the feudal autocratic centralized state, he wanted to further limit the power of Prince Belle's ministers and maintain the authority of the emperor. The Metropolitan Inspection Bureau came into being to supervise its subordinates with a strong supervision system.

The Metropolitan Court has the power to supervise, impeach and recommend. Zuo Du Yushi was in charge of the inspection of the official Chang, participated in the Wei Gangji, led the branch Daoist official Ya Zhongzhong, led the Gyeonggi Province to correct the misconduct and adultery, and participated in the imperial court deliberations.

After Kangxi overthrew the Aobai and Bambulshan cliques, he continued to seize power from the Council of Ministers and the Cabinet of Ministers, and claimed that the courtiers were only the members of the Council of the Emperor, "Today, all the affairs of the emperor are personally managed by one person, and there is no way to bypass it, and if the important affairs are assigned to others, it is absolutely impossible, so everything is not too big or small, and it must be self-determined" (Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, vol. 284, Kangxi 58 April Xinhai), clarifying the emperor's will to power. Under his absolute authority, Zuo Du Yushi, who held the supervision power, became a senior position for arranging officials, and Xu Qianxue and Wang Hongxu, who together with Gao Shiqi were to show off and bribe, held this position successively.

This is undoubtedly the Kangxi Emperor's employment of people who are not aware.

However, Kangxi continued to protect them.

After Xu and Wang, an iron-faced imperial historian came from the Duchayuan. He was Guo Xuan, a famous official and Qing official of the Kangxi Dynasty.

Guo Xuan was promoted to zuo du yushi in May of the twenty-eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1689), and had previously served as a lecturer in the feast and appointed the official Zuo Shilang.

He was a kangxi soldier in the ninth year, and served as a local zhixian for seven years, with considerable political achievements. (In the nine years before he was released, he somehow had no resume.) Although there is no outstanding commendation order, there are outstanding work achievements.

In the twenty-fifth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Tang Bin, the inspector of Jiangsu, recommended Guo Xuan to the imperial court, saying that he was "quiet in heart, elite in his affairs, and able to be promoted to the rank of a man" ("Biography of Guo Xuan" in the History of the Qing Dynasty). Inspectors strongly recommended their own grass-roots officials, but could not be directly appointed, which shows that the main leaders at the county level at that time were not provincial management cadres, but state management cadres, and the power to appoint and dismiss personnel was in the central government.

When the officials reviewed Guo Xuan's appointment report submitted by Tang Bin, they said that his task of collecting silver grain had not been completed, and gave him a veto vote.

Wujiang is known as the land of fish and rice and the house of silk, why did Guo Xuan work in Wujiang for seven years, and there was still a debt of handing over tasks? It can only show one problem, he is not a cool official, and he will not make beautiful achievements for promotion.

Regarding his deeds in Wujiang, the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty" originally passed on another saying: "Strong in ability, good at judging doubts." Requisitioning the version of the collusion method, Xu officials can not be adulterous. He lived in the official for seven years, and the rule was the most in Jiangnan. "A competent official, just because the tax collection is not completed, makes the superior personnel department seriously reduce his comprehensive ability examination.

Fortunately, Tang Bin was the leader of Kangxi's eighteen-year erudite Hong Confucian Branch, the president had studied the "History of Ming", and before letting Jiang Ning go, he was a famous scholar of science and a cabinet scholar trusted by Kangxi. The Kangxi Emperor still attached great importance to his ability to promote talents, and specially approved Guo Xuan's special inspection. As a result, Guo Xuan was appointed as the imperial history of Gangnam Province.
