Chapter 418 Official Ranks from the End of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms Period
The central government of the Eastern Han Dynasty was still organized by the Sangong Jiuqing.However, when the new emperor came to the throne, the Taifu or Taiwei recorded the affairs of the ministers and took charge of the government affairs.Guangwu was in charge of the government, and Ji Gang, the general leader of Shangshutai, was in charge of all positions.Yushitai was also merged under Shaofu.Shizhong was originally an official in the Western Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Shizhong Temple was established. When the emperor was consecrated, the Huangmen Gate was also incorporated into the Shizhong Temple and became an institution under the Shaofu.In the Western Han Dynasty, there were Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, who were called Shanggong, while in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was only one Taifu, also called Shanggong.Whenever a new emperor came to the throne, he would set up the Taifu to record the affairs of the book and take charge of the government.The official title of Lushang Shushi originated in the Western Han Dynasty.Below the Shanggong is the Sangong.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong were regarded as the three princes.Taichang, Guang Luxun, and Weiwei are under the Taiwei; Taipu, Tingwei, and Dahonghe are under Situ; Zongzheng, Da Sinong, and Shaofu are under Sikong.The heads of the Jiuqing in the Eastern Han Dynasty all added the word "Qing", and their ranks were all in the middle of two thousand stones.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were generals at all levels, who were also important members of the central government. There were four generals: the first general, the second hussar general, the second chariot general, the second guard general, and the front, back, left, and right generals.The Great General is above the San Gong, and the Hussar General, Car Cavalry General, and Wei General are below the San Gong.The front, rear, left, and right generals are under the Shangqing, and they are not often placed. After the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Empress Dowager came to the court and ruled, and her relatives were in power.As a result, the general became the main official of the central government, and together with the three princes of the Taifu, they were called the Five Houses.
The local officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty still followed the old system of the Western Han Dynasty, and the dual-track arrangement of enfeoffing kings, marquises and prefectures, counties, and counties.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was divided into twelve prefectures, and each prefecture had one governor. The prefecture to which the capital belonged had one Sili Xiaowei, and there were 1 officials under the Sili Xiaowei's subordinates; Breaking the law; engaged in meritorious service, the main state department selects officials and responds to affairs; don't drive, when the school captain inspects the state department, he will be cited and recorded all things;If there is military affairs, set up soldiers to engage in military affairs.In addition, there are counties and states engaged in it. Each county has one person, who supervises and urges documents and investigates illegal activities.All are removed by the state itself, and they are all called Baishi.There are also 1 false lefts, who record your affairs in the master book and save documents.The gate pavilion is in charge of the main gate of the state.Selected by Cao Shuzuo Zhang as the door skill. "The Book of Filial Piety" is supervised by the teacher. "Moon Order" is dedicated to offering sacrifices to the master during the season.Lawyers master the law.Book Cao Shu Zuo master book.Each county has one Dianjun shuzuo, and each masters a county clerk, which is supplemented by county officials and replaced once a year.In the twelve prefectures other than the headquarters of Sili Xiaowei, in the 12th year of Jianwu (AD 1), the prefects were changed to governors.The governor often inspects the prefectures and states under his command in August every year, records prisoners, and classifies the most in the hall.The governors of the Western Han Dynasty were originally a kind of inspectors dispatched by the central government. Their task was to travel around the county and state, spy on the political situation, and return to Beijing at the end of the year to rehearse. They were not fixed administrative officials.But in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the governor had already established a certain government office and his own yamen, and sent officials to report to the Situ Mansion every year.In the old system of the Western Han Dynasty, those who were incompetent in the prefectural pastor's 25 stone chiefs were all sent to the Sangong first, and the Sangong sent him to check the historical case, and then deposed.Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty did not serve as the Sangong, and the power belonged to the governor. If he was impeached, he would be dismissed, and the authority of the governor would become heavier.All the subordinate officials have a history of engagement, and they are false assistants.In the fifth year of Emperor Ling's Zhongping (1 A.D.), he changed the governor to the governor of the state.Since then, the governor has changed from an inspector sent by the central government to a local administrator.Local administration in the Eastern Han Dynasty also changed from a two-level system of prefectures and counties to a three-level system of prefecture, county, and county.

But the rent must be paid to Hou, limited to the number of households.For those with more than a thousand households, one family cheng and one concubine each, and those with less than a thousand households will not have a family cheng.The feudal titles of County Marquis, Township Marquis, and Ting Hou were created by the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the Eastern Han Hou Wang was only a false name, and his power was far inferior to that of the Western Han Dynasty.The politics of the feudal country to which it belongs are presided over by Fu Xiang sent by the central government, and the so-called prince Fu Xiang is actually a local official sent by the central government.
For the counties, each county has one prefect, two thousand stones.Because Luoyang was the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Henan County was the seat of Gyeonggi, it was called Henan Yin.Its status is higher than that of the prefect.Yin Fengchao of Henan invited Ru Jiuqing, with a rank of two thousand stones.Each county has a prime minister who is in charge of the people, and a county in the border area has a long history who is in charge of soldiers and horses, all of which are six hundred stones.There is also the county Sima, under the long history (there is also a Sima under the captain, the two should not be confused).The prime ministers of the kingdom, the ministers and the prefects are all in charge of governing the people, recruiting the virtuous and capable, eliminating the treacherous, and traveling to the counties they belong to, encouraging the people to farm and mulberry, and helping the poor.In autumn and winter, we sent harmless officials (fair and upright, without harm) to interrogate the prisoners, to make the crime justified, and to do nothing wrong.The hall is the most important for officials.In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a captain of the county, who compared two thousand stones, to govern the soldiers of the county, and to prepare for thieves.Therefore, the prefects of the Eastern Han Dynasty were also called "jun generals".However, in border counties, there are often captains or captains of the country, and there are sub-counties, which govern their people, compared with small counties.
