I guess some readers are wondering, how can the imperial edict be written incorrectly? Su Songdao clearly belongs to the Jiangnan area of South Zhili, but how come Mr. Chen’s patrol official title is that of the Zhejiang Inspectorate?
This is not wrong. Due to the official system of the country, the north and south Zhili do not have two departments: the Department of Acknowledgment and Prosecution and the Department of Punishment and Inspection. When it is necessary to dispatch the guardians and patrol officers who should be subordinate to the two departments, they adopt the title of postal officer.
Neighboring province system. The title of Zhili in the north is assigned to Shandong, and the title to the south of the Yangtze River is assigned to Zhejiang. Therefore, Mr. Chen’s official title is Zhejiang’s Envoy and Secretary, and it is not a typo in the imperial edict.
There is also another situation. If, like Zhao Liangyi, you get a post in the Nanjing Ministry of Education, you no longer need to go to Zhejiang to post a post.
Why is it said that Mr. Chen has become Li You's immediate boss again? It starts with his official position. The Department of Punishing and Prosecution is responsible for the punishment and impeachment. Under the third-rank chief official, there are the fourth-rank deputy envoy and the fifth-rank judge.
You can serve as a road patrol officer and be responsible for related affairs in a certain area.
The official of the Suzhou Prefecture where Li You worked was also in charge of the prison case, which corresponded to the business of the Prosecution and Envoys Department, and he happened to be a patrol officer. That's why Mr. Chen put on the pretense of being a superior official and waited for Li to pay his respects.
.
At this time, the shock in Li You's heart was hard to describe in words. Mr. Chen's promotion was a bit exaggerated. He himself went from ninth grade to seventh grade. On the surface, he rose two ranks, but it was actually nothing. The promotion of a low-grade official position was originally
There is great arbitrariness. In the case where many people were first promoted to the seventh rank, being promoted from the ninth rank miscellaneous officer to the seventh rank assistant official is not that eye-catching. It can be regarded as lifting Li You to the threshold of real officialdom.
But starting from the seventh rank, the procedures and rules are very strict, and it is very rare to get promoted. Even if you are the number one scholar Wenquxing, you usually have to start from the sixth rank and climb up one level at a time. Remember how many people there were in the early years of the dynasty?
A Niucha county magistrate was directly promoted to prefect, but it is absolutely impossible in today's era when the civilian government system is very mature.
And Mr. Chen actually jumped from the seventh rank to the fifth rank in one go, which means he lost ten years of hard work... The number one scholar in the same class as him is still only a sixth rank compiler in the Hanlin Academy.
Li You felt that people were extremely popular. Could this be the power of a highly respected official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs? But even if Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs could theoretically decide on his own the promotion or retention of officials below the fourth rank in other places, how could he dare to do so?
Chen Yingzhen was promoted blatantly? Everyone in the imperial court was blind and pretended not to see it?
There are so many doubts. Li You thought about it over and over again. He still said the same thing. I don’t know how much shady behind this... But no matter what, it is not a bad thing for him. If Zhao Liangyi becomes a branch guard again, then he, Li Tuiguan, will be the ""
"Legs" are thicker.
Mr. Huang stepped forward and said to Mr. Chen: "Congratulations to the proprietor on his promotion."
Li You stopped thinking and went to pay homage and congratulate him. When he opened his mouth, he got stuck.
As mentioned before, in official circles, superiors are often addressed by aliases and honorifics, such as Zhongcheng or Zhongcheng, etc., and their official names are rarely used.
But what should we call the patrol road according to the inspection? There is no such knowledge in the books. Li You, who is relatively new in this area, really doesn’t know. He can’t learn to call Master Huang the proprietor...
Li You couldn't help but look at him and asked Master Huang for help.
Over there, Mr. Huang made a gesture of his mouth, which in Li You's eyes seemed to sound like "eye droppings"...
When he was in trouble, someone whispered "Incorruptible Envoy" next to Li You, but it was Inspector Hong who came to announce the good news.
"Your Majesty, please see the Lian Envoy." Li You finally completed the ritual of paying homage.
After leaving the county government, without Chen Xundao as a comparison, Li You fell back into the joy of being promoted to a promotion official. This was the seventh rank of real power, the same level as the county magistrate. From now on, the Li family can be regarded as a rural eunuch in Xujiang County.
People are here.
The reason why Li You was so fond of the position of promotion official that he lost his composure in front of others was not only because of his promotion of character, but also for other reasons.
The position of push official has a special aura. It is one of the first official positions stipulated by the imperial court for the new Jinshi, just like county magistrate, chief minister, censor, geishizhong, zhongshusheren, etc. In other words, push official has the qualifications of Jinshi.
halo, so he is a special one compared with other Sazaguan.
It is said that after so many years of imperial examinations, it is impossible for Jinshi in every subject to be arranged to become a capital official. There are not so many pitfalls; if they are all appointed as county magistrates, there are not so many good places to choose officials. Jinshi in remote and poor counties have no choice.
I didn't want to go, otherwise why would I work so hard to get a Jinshi? Later, the imperial court issued a new policy, and the top three Jinshi who were not ranked high could be sent to serve as government officials to be close to the people.
Although Li You knew that he would never be a Jinshi in his life, it did not stop him from being complacent because he could be an official like a Jinshi.
In the future, if someone sees that I am young and promising, and misunderstands that he is a Jinshi and asks about his year, how should he explain it? Li You couldn't help but feel this kind of happy worry. In such a good mood, he did not forget Inspector Hong and praised: "
Thank you, Officer Hong, for reminding me."
"It's all minor matters, adults don't need to worry about it," Inspector Hong said flatteringly.
In fact, in the power structure of the government office, the main task of the official is to try the case. Although he can also direct the patrol to arrest people, after all, the person who is officially in charge of patrol and public security is usually the general judge. When the general judge has no weight, there is still
Magistrate. Using the analogy of the situation in the 21st century, the magistrate is more like the president of the court, not the chief of the police.
Then why did Patrolman Hong travel hundreds of miles to fawn over Li You?
First of all, Li You is a local official, and other officials have been around for a few years and then left. Only Li You has the ability to maintain influence and is worthy of his service.
Secondly, he heard Wang Tongzhi saying in the government office that there was a serious shortage of officials in the department now, and he planned to ask Li You, the recommendation officer, to take charge of patrol matters. Using the analogy of the twenty-first century situation, such a recommendation officer would become a **
*The role of the political and legal committee member with all the power in one body, so he is similar to the captain of the squadron. Dare he fawn over Inspector Hong?
Li You was speechless all the way home. When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he saw a crowd of people, so crowded that the front door of his house was blocked.
Seeing Li You, someone in the crowd shouted, "The official is back!"
Patrolman Hong took the initiative to lead the way, shouting loudly and clearing a path through the crowd.
Li You approached the door and saw a piece of paper hanging with a good news message, with the words "Flying News: Mr. Li Gaosheng of your house has been promoted to official position!"
It turns out that this is where the reporter came to officially report the news, and Patrolman Hong's report to Li You was purely a tip-off in private to flatter him.
I also saw Li's father commanding the servants to carry a basket filled with copper coins that I didn't know where they came from. When I put the basket down, the servants grabbed a lot of copper coins and threw them into the crowd, causing everyone to rush for the wedding coins, and it was a lively scene.
scene.
Throughout the afternoon, the Li family kept coming and going, and there was an endless stream of visitors, which made the servants complain of exhaustion. The lobby was so crowded that they couldn't get in, so they stood in the courtyard. The courtyard was full, and they gathered at the gate.
Reputable people in the county, as long as they thought they were qualified, came to Li's house to pay a visit and congratulate him. Even several senior official officials who had retired to their own homes came to pay their respects to Mr. Li.
Li You's place is even more lively than Chen Xundao's place. After all, Mr. Chen is an outsider in the eyes of Xujiang County people, and Li You is one of their own.
Looking for an opportunity, Li's father sighed to Li You: "It's like a dream or an illusion. I have no regrets in my life as a father!"
Li You was startled by his father's unusual tone and said anxiously: "For the sake of his son's reputation, father must not become a monk too!"
Inspector Hong, who was helping entertain the guests, was wondering why he said "ye" to become a monk?
At night, Li You didn't sleep at home. He boarded a night boat and rushed to Fucheng overnight. It was only proper that he quickly accepted the order and officially took office.
