Civil officials seized power in ancient times
In ancient times, there was the phenomenon of civil officials seizing power. The following are some examples and the reasons behind them: ** 1. Song Dynasty ** 1. ** Backgrounds and policy beginnings ** - Zhao Kuangyin, the founder of the Song Dynasty, seized power through the Chen Qiao mutiny. During the Five Dynasties, it was common for subordinates to overthrow their superiors and seize power. Zhao Kuangyin was not at ease with generals. Therefore, they used a cup of wine to release the military power and used generous treatment to remove the potential threat of the generals to the central imperial power. This move started the national policy of valuing civil officials over military power. The status of civil officials gradually rose, laying the foundation for the expansion of civil officials in the power structure. 2. ** Reflection of the rise of civil officials 'power ** - In terms of military affairs, many military operations were commanded by civil officials in the Song Dynasty, and civil officials gradually held power in military decision-making. - In terms of political management, civil officials had a greater say in the court. As the rulers were wary of the generals, the influence of civil officials in managing state affairs gradually expanded. ** 2. The situation after the Tumubao rebellion in the Ming Dynasty ** 1. ** Event background and opportunity ** - In the Battle of Tumu Fortress, the main force of the Ming army led by Wang Zhen suffered a crushing defeat, and Emperor Zhu Qizhen was captured. After the news was sent back to Beijing, the civil officials demanded that Wang Zhen's party be punished on the grounds that Wang Zhen had caused the country to be in danger. 2. ** The process of seizing power ** - In the court, when the commander of the Jinyiwei, Ma Shun (Wang Zhen's faction), berated the officials, the civil officials ganged up and beat Ma Shun to death. In this process, Zhu Qiyu, who was in charge of the country, did not make a clear statement. From the perspective of the struggle between the imperial power and the civil servants, this could be a power struggle by the civil servants. - Because if Zhu Qiyu agreed to punish Wang Zhen's faction, the vacant position of Wang Zhen's faction might be filled by one of their own people, and Zhu Qiyu might become a figurehead in the future. After the Tumu Fortress Rebellion, Yu Qian and the other civil officials held power. The civil officials once again suppressed the generals. This incident became an important turning point for the civil officials to seize power in the Ming Dynasty. ** 3. Reason Analysis ** 1. ** Rulers 'wariness towards generals ** - Many dynasties perished due to civil strife, mostly because the military officers 'power was too great and threatened the central government. Therefore, the rulers learned their lesson and did not dare to give too much power to the military officers. They even separated the training officers and the leading officers to guard against the military officers. This gave civil officials more opportunities to take advantage of the power structure. 2. ** The Civil Service Group's own characteristics and advantages ** - In ancient China, there was a relatively perfect system for selecting officials. The selected civil servants often had certain advantages in terms of cultural knowledge and the concept of governing the country. In terms of governing the world, compared to generals, civil servants were more experienced in administrative and management matters, which also helped them occupy an advantageous position in the struggle for power. - Civil officials also showed a higher status in terms of etiquette. For example, civil officials stood on the right side of the court. According to ancient etiquette and customs, the right side was "upper". This reflected the higher status of civil officials in the traditional concept, which was conducive to the expansion and seizing of power.

The relationship between civil officials and officials in ancient times
In ancient times, civil servants were part of the officials. Officials were appointed government workers of a certain level, while civil servants were officials who mainly carried out civilian work in the government. In ancient times, the official system of civil officials included many positions, such as nobility, prime minister, and grand tutor. These positions had different functions. Civil officials held positions in both the central and local governments. The central government was in charge of the appointment and removal of officials, and the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of land and household registration. The local government was in charge of county governors during the Qin and Han Dynasties. They performed their respective duties in their respective positions and were an important part of the ancient official system. They participated in national governance, government affairs management, social affairs, and many other aspects of work.

The Rank of Civil Officials in Ancient Times
There were many ways to differentiate the ranks of civil officials in ancient times: 1. ** Divided by Grade ** - ** Han Dynasty **: The number of Lu Shi was used as a symbol of the level of official positions.

the position of civil officials in ancient times
In ancient times, the status of civil officials was relatively high. In terms of court etiquette, it had been reflected since the Han Dynasty. In court, civil officials were in the east and military officials were in the west. They were arranged according to their official positions. The east was the superior position and the west was the inferior position. This showed that the status of civil officials was higher than that of military officials. However, before the Song Dynasty, this difference was not obvious outside the court etiquette. In terms of treatment, there was a clear difference between civil officials and military officers. The status of civil officials was relatively higher. In terms of functions, as the dynasty developed, the demand for military force decreased during the peaceful period of society. The main responsibilities of the court were gradually replaced by civil officials. For example, in the late Tang Dynasty, the status of civil officials gradually surpassed that of military officers. In terms of talent selection, the status of those who were born in the military examination was lower than those who were born in the liberal arts. After the Song Dynasty perfected the imperial examination system, almost all of the country's political, economic, and cultural affairs were controlled by civil officials. The source of military officers was mainly from the military and grace. The scope of activities was mainly limited to commanding the army and no longer involved in civil affairs. In addition, in the Ming Dynasty, there were still cases where the civil service group had a greater impact on the political situation. For example, there was a shadow of the civil service group's interest game behind major matters such as the inheritance of the throne.

Were there female civil officials in ancient times?
Some novels with ancient backgrounds had images of female civil officials. For example," Beauty's Conspiracy " was an unpopular novel with a powerful female protagonist. The story was set in a chaotic world where seven countries were fighting for power, and the female protagonist was a counselor. The female protagonist in " I'm Going Home After I'm a Powerful Official " was also a wise and almost demonic counselor. She was weak and calm. Many years ago, when the previous dynasty was in chaos, she was schemed to be killed and then wandered outside. A few years later, she became the most civil official in the new dynasty with her own brain. There were also novels such as Coincidentally Rain in the Sky that had images of female civil officials. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The characteristics of selecting civil officials in ancient times
The selection of civil servants in ancient times had the following characteristics: 1. ** Selection system is diverse and evolving **: - In the pre-Qin period, there was a prototype of the hereditary system, which was a relatively primitive hereditary system, mainly dependent on blood relations. - During the reform of Shang Yang, the Qin State implemented the system of granting titles based on the number of soldiers who killed enemies on the battlefield. This encouraged the soldiers, increased the combat effectiveness of the army, and made the ranks more mobile. - In the Han Dynasty, there were inspection and recruitment systems. The inspection system was mainly based on the selection of filial piety and honesty, which was divided into annual selection (including filial piety and honesty, scholar, etc.) and imperial selection. The annual selection was recommended by the local government to the central government. The imperial selection was a special subject, and the inspection requirements were not fixed. The inspection system paid attention to Confucianism and required the selection of Confucian scholars, but there were disadvantages such as rigid system and nepotism. The conscription system was to ask the central government for talents from the local government. Most of the conscripted people were celebrities in society, and there were few opportunities for poor students. - During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the nine-grade system was implemented. The central government chose officials to serve as the "Zhongzheng officials" of the place where they were born to visit local scholars, but there were also drawbacks in the later period. - The imperial examination system began to prevail in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After passing the imperial examination, one had to follow the "examiner" procedure before they could become an official. This system was relatively perfect, and the officials selected were of high quality. During the Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, the imperial examination system was generally established. Scholars who passed the examination were granted official positions by the court, but there were also problems such as redundant officials. 2. ** Selection focuses on various factors such as virtue **: - The filial piety and honesty in the inspection system paid attention to the filial piety and honesty in virtue. - During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the imperial examination included eight aspects: morality, righteousness, purity, and prudence. 3. ** The scope of the selection is gradually expanding **: - From the solidifying of the hierarchy of the hereditary salary system to the system of military merit granting titles, civilians had the opportunity to be officials because of military merit. The system of inspection and recruitment also gave some children of poor families the opportunity to participate. The imperial examination system also provided a way for the majority of scholars to enter the official career. 4. ** Closely related to political and social development **: - The political needs of different dynasties prompted the selection system to change continuously. For example, Confucianism became orthodox during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the imperial examination system required the selection of Confucian scholars. The strengthening of the autocratic monarch made the imperial examination system rigid in the process of development. - Changes in social class also affected the selection system. For example, the opportunities for the children of poor families to enter the official career under different selection systems reflected the changes in social class mobility.
