There is a Qing generation, with a scholar as the nominal prime minister, to the middle of the Qing Dynasty gradually stabilized, forming a "three halls and three pavilions" cabinet scholar pattern, respectively, Baohe Palace, Wenhua Palace, Wuying Palace, Wenyuan Pavilion, Tiren Pavilion, East Pavilion, the university non-commissioned officer rank is a positive product.
During the Yongzheng period, the imperial court set up additional university scholars and associate university scholars in addition to the university scholars, and in the Qianlong period, it was renamed as the co-organizer university scholars, and the official rank was from the first grade. The co-sponsoring scholar is roughly equivalent to the vice-chancellor, which means deputy prime minister. It is similar to the Song Dynasty's Governor (Deputy Prime Minister) and Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi (Prime Minister).
In the early days of the establishment of the co-organizer of the university during the Yongzheng period, it was generally during the period when the university scholars were out, instead of the university scholars acting for the affairs of the cabinet, there was no quota, and it was not a fixed establishment. It was not until the Qianlong period that the co-organizer of the university was inherited as a fixed official title.
The co-organizer of the university is a subordinate scholar, which is equivalent to the rank of the officials of the six ministries and courts, such as the Six Books of Shangshu and the Imperial History of Zuodu, but the status is higher than that of these ordinary ministers. The co-organizers were generally promoted from among the six scholars or local governors, and the co-organizers could be further promoted to scholars and become de facto prime ministers.
In the Qing Dynasty, the more famous co-organizers of the university, such as Zeng Guofan, Ji Xiaolan, Su Shun, Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, etc., all held this position, and many of them were further promoted to scholars from this position.
Therefore, the co-organizer of the university scholar is nominally half of the prime minister, and his status is higher than that of the six scholars, but after all, he is not a family member in the cabinet, and he belongs to the specific executor of the university scholar, and his status is relatively embarrassing, but the future prospects are still considerable.
