How many years did it take for Liu Yong to be promoted to Zhengyipin
Since Qin Shihuang established the Great Qin Dynasty, my country’s feudal system has opened a chapter. The first thing Shihuang did when he came to power was to organize the government. He perfected the national currency and the system of selecting officials. Among them, he divided official positions into grades, and this system continued until the Qing Dynasty.
It’s just that by the time of the Qing Dynasty, the first-rank official position of prime minister had disappeared, but there were still nine ranks. We have seen many officials who have been promoted to several ranks within a few years because of their outstanding political achievements, but how long will it take to go from the first rank to the first rank? Obviously, the difference is only half a rank, and it took Chen Tingjing 20 years. It only took Liu Yong 16 years. Since the Ming Dynasty, the official position of prime minister has been abolished.
Therefore, in the Qing Dynasty, official positions such as minister of military aircraft and university scholar were established, with the same real power as the prime minister. In the management system of the Qing Dynasty, the highest rank among civil servants was the cabinet bachelor. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, everything was divided into principal and deputy grades, such as Zhenghuangqi, plus a Zhengzi, it represented higher power. This cabinet bachelor belongs to Zhengyipin.
Among them, the cabinet bachelors are divided into six majors, including Zhonghedian University and Baohedian University, and each of them has a certain proportion of Manchu and Han people. If the normal promotion process was followed, if a Manchu aristocrat or a son of the imperial family wanted to become a bachelor, he only needed to be inspected by the emperor to see if he had the ability, and he could even seal this position as soon as he was happy.
But if you are a Han, besides your ability, the emperor will also examine your loyalty, and the emperor generally does not trust others easily, which makes it particularly difficult for a Han to take up this official position. However, it is difficult to be a first-rank official, and there are many first-rank officials. For the Han people, how long will it take for the Han people to go from the first grade to the first grade? In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong issued an imperial decree to confer supplementary bachelors, which was drafted by the cabinet.
There are at most 6 bachelors, and generally there are only 4 people, and the candidates are selected from the six ministers and the Zuodu censor. Each department can only promote one, but the six departments are in charge of too many things, and it is very complicated, and personnel are frequently transferred. The merits that have just been established in this department are transferred to another department, so few people can stay in one department and get promoted smoothly.
It takes nearly ten years for each of the six shifts to end. That is to say, if you are already a first-rank minister, it will still take at least ten years to become a first-rank official. You must know that the average life expectancy of the ancients was only four years. Fifty years, so even if you are an official in your teens, and you are promoted step by step, it is basically in your later years that you can become a first-rank official.
Both Liu Yong and Chen Tingjing were trusted ministers of the emperor in the Qing Dynasty. Calculated, Liu Yong spent so much time longer than them, let alone ordinary people. It is conceivable how difficult it is to be a first-class official. Yuan Shikai held great power back then Every now and then, I still have to come to the door to beg Li Hongzhang to resign as a bachelor and let him fill it up. It is really a very difficult thing to enter the cabinet and pay homage to the prime minister in the Qing Dynasty.
