There is such a scene in the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty": It is said that in the early years of Yongzheng, Sun Jiacheng, the head of the household department, had a dispute with the court officials over the money making of the new dynasty, so that he was reprimanded by Yongzheng on the surface. But then Yongzheng thought that this person was upright and upright, and he was a material for imperial history, so he ordered Zhang Tingyu to go to Sun Jiacheng's house to pass on the decree. Yu Yu: Sun Jia honestly supplemented the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, and the official was promoted to the third grade.
Of course, this is just set up in the TV series for the promotion of the storyline, so what are the real supervising imperial history, and what is it for? Today, the editor will share one or two with you.
Supervision of the imperial history began in the Sui Dynasty Sui Wen Emperor two years of the emperor, that is, in 582 AD, from the inspection of the imperial history to the supervision of the imperial history, the supervision of the imperial history grade is not high, for a long period of time only eight products, but the scope of authority is very wide, specifically responsible for the supervision of hundreds of officials, inspection of counties, correction of prisons, rectification of the court and other affairs.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the abolition of the imperial history of the establishment of the Imperial Inspectorate, the main responsibility is to impeach and advise, the Imperial Court mainly set up the following officials, namely the left and right imperial history, the left and right deputy imperial history, the thrifty imperial history, in addition to the supervision of the imperial history. The supervision of the imperial history is generally divided into different roads, so they are named after a certain place.
First of all, the main prefects of the Imperial Procuratorate were the first rank of the left and right imperial historians, the second rank of the left and right deputy imperial histories, and the third rank of the imperial history of the frugal capitals.
Therefore, the supervision of the imperial history mentioned in the TV series should be five products, and Sun Jiacheng was the head of the six products of the household department before, so it is reasonable to be promoted to five products. But having said that, it is not ruled out that Yongzheng is going to match Sun Jiacheng with Sun Jiacheng and let him do the work of supervising the imperial history, but the grade is three grades, which is also possible.
The Qing Dynasty's supervision of imperial histories was generally placed at the imperial court or at the local level, and the main purpose was to check and balance the local administrators. Moreover, the power of supervising the imperial history is very large, not only can the illegal officials be impeached, but even the supreme ruler can give the power of direct trial, form substantive supervision over the prefecture, county, county, and yamen, and even directly report to the emperor the malpractices existing in the locality. It is a typical position with small officials and big power, so no matter what kind of official it is, most of them are in awe of the imperial history.
