When it comes to official positions in ancient times, we often talk about a few products and a few products. In many film and television dramas, we often see such titles as Qipin County Order, Yipin Imperial Court Official, etc. For these official positions, our feeling is that many officials have grades. Among them, the highest level is a product, and many people feel that a product is more powerful. Indeed, the ancient Yipin official was indeed very powerful, but it was really more difficult to become a Yipin official than to ascend to the heavens. Let's see how you can become a pin official.
From the establishment of the three dukes and nine secretaries system in the Qin Dynasty, until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, officials were of high rank. However, at the beginning, it was not perfect, and the grades were not very fine. Simply put, before the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yipin's official positions were very few. The main ones are the three kilometers of Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, the three divisions of Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong, the second big Sima and the great general, and the official positions of the chancellor are all one product. These official positions are all extremely popular subjects, basically one person below ten thousand people. And not all dynasties and all emperors established these official positions, sometimes at all. The difficulty of wanting to achieve a product can be imagined.
Let's take a look at how difficult it was to take a product in the Ming and Qing dynasties, taking the Qing Dynasty as an example. The grades of the Qing Dynasty were very perfect, the so-called nine grades and eighteen grades. Each product has a positive and a different product, such as a positive product and a product from a product. And the current director and deputy director of the same meaning. Because it is nine products, each product has a positive and secondary points, exactly eighteen levels, so it is called nine products and eighteen levels. Moreover, the rank of officials is also divided into civilian and military attachés. Let's look at how a military attaché and a military attaché can get a pin of official position, respectively.
First look at the military attaché's one product, because the military attaché level is relatively high, it is still easier to get it. Among the military attaches, Zheng Yipin only had four positions, namely the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Consular Guard, the Minister of Guard of Zhangluanyi, the General of Ili, and the General of Suiyuan. The first two of these four official positions were responsible for the emperor's security, and they were all confidants of the emperor's confidants, which were deeply trusted by the emperor, and it was difficult for ordinary people to hold these official positions. To put it bluntly, there are more people who can hold the position of imperial relatives and relatives, and it is almost impossible for others to achieve this position. The latter two, general Ili and general Suiyuan, were the highest officials in the qing dynasty's local administrative system. These two places are important border defense areas, generally only manchus can serve, and they are also relatives of the emperor and the state.
If you look at it this way, if you want to be a military attaché, you don't want to think about it except for the relatives of the emperor and the state.
Take another look at the military attaché's from Yipin. The military attachés from Yipin had nine admirals, interior ministers, garrison generals, metropolitan commanders, and admirals. The first two are responsible for the safety of the capital and the other for the safety of the emperor, which is also the emperor's confidant. However, the Han people can also do it, and the requirements are not particularly strict. The rear, the garrison generals, the metropolitan commanders, the admirals, etc., are all local army officers, and although it is difficult to sit, if you have military merit, you can still sit. In general, the military attaché is easier from a pint.
In general, in the military attaché Yipin, unless you are a relative of the emperor and the state, others basically interview. It takes a lot of hard work to go from a pint to it. However, since the Song Dynasty, China has emphasized literature over military force, and the rank of military attaché is still very low in front of civilian officials. Even inferior to the second and third products of the civil officials. Of course, except for Zheng Yipin, only because such people have taken up official positions and are deeply trusted by the emperor, ordinary people dare not offend them.
Looking at the one product of the civil official, compared with the one product of the military attaché, the one product of the civilian official is only theoretically existing, and in fact, few people can do it.
Among the civil servants, Zheng Yipin only had five positions that could be fulfilled, namely Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Diange University Scholar, University Scholar and Governor of Zhi Province. The first three Qing Dynasty positions were hardly held by anyone in the first three Qing Dynasties, and generally the ministers would be posthumously sealed when they died, and it was completely impossible to hold these three official positions while they wanted to be alive.
Look at the Imperial Academy, the University Scholar and the Governor of the Province. The Imperial Academy is an honor, and the Qing Dynasty's university scholars are divided into many levels, Wenhuadian University Scholars, Wuyingdian University Scholars, Wenyuange University Scholars, and Dongge University Scholars. Sometimes there are other titles, which are four levels in total. The tallest of these is a Mandarin University Fellow. First of all, to be a university scholar, generally speaking, only the birth of the imperial examination can do it, otherwise it is not discussed. The ancient imperial examination is completely different from the current college entrance examination, and it is more difficult to get the person than the current college entrance examination. Not to mention that entering the army and the first is really more difficult than ascending to the heavens. Officials who were born in the imperial examination also had to be of high rank and trusted by the emperor before they were awarded the title of university scholar. For example, He Yan was once a university scholar, and it should be known that He Yan was a figure who covered the sky with one hand in the late Qianlong period. At this level, few people in the entire Qing Dynasty could compare.
Look at the University Scholar and Governor of the Province. These are two identities, the first being the university scholar mentioned above, and the second being the governor directly subordinate to him. This is a combination of local officials and central officials. As long as you can do the first, the second is still a little easier. The Qing Dynasty had a total of eight viceroys, the highest status being the viceroy directly subordinate to him. Because Zhili is the seat of the capital city, it has the highest status. This is a feudal official, and if he wants to do this, he must not only struggle for many years, but also win the trust of the emperor. Otherwise the emperor would not have handed over his hometown to you.
Let's take a look at the official's from a pint. They are Prince Taishi, Prince Taifu, Prince Taibao, Co-founder University Scholar, Shangshu of various ministries, Yushi of the Left and Right Capitals of the Metropolitan Inspection Bureau, Governors of The Provinces (Bingbu Shangshu Title), and Ministers Stationed in Tibet (Plus Shangshu Titles). The first six are all official positions in the central government, of which the prince Taishi, the prince Taifu, and the prince Taibao are all more rewards, and to put it bluntly, they are all part-time. This kind of official position has no real power, only honor. The Shangshu of each ministry is the six Shangshu of the Six Shangshu, a total of six, which is similar to the current ministers at all levels. The Six Shangshu can be said to be in charge of the entire internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty. The Metropolitan Imperial Household is the supreme leader of the Supervisory Body. These two contain eight kinds of official positions, which are simply put, at the level of national leadership. How hard it is to think for yourself.
Governors of the provinces (Bingbu Shangshu title) and Ministers stationed in Tibet (plus Shangshu titles). This is the place. The governors of the provinces were feudal governors, and the ministers stationed in Tibet were the qing dynasty's highest administrative officers in Tibet. In fact, if you want to achieve these levels, you are very capable, and they are all old fritters in the official arena.
In general, in the civilian official one product, more than half of the positive one product is posthumously sealed. None of the rest is permanent. There is still hope for decades of hard work from Yipin, but the premise is that the emperor trusts you, and your ability is still very prominent.
Now it seems that whether it is a civilian or a military attaché, if you want to achieve a pin, you not only look at your own efforts, but also have a good birth and good luck. After all, the total number of officials in the entire history of the Qing Dynasty was not much. In addition to the super official positions of those relatives of the emperor and the state, it can be said that there are very few who have struggled on their own.
