The promotion of the squire to Hanlin and Jinshi is not passable
The Qing Dynasty official system set strict academic thresholds and promotion routes for those who were officially born on the right path, such as Hanlin, Jinshi, Juren, Gongsheng, and Yinsheng, in the process of career promotion.
For example, the squire who was also promoted to the second rank, Hanlin and Jinshi had their own fixed transfer paths.
In the promotion process, no matter what kind of right path they come from, they will follow a certain route. Today, we're going to focus on this issue.
On the road to promotion, the Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy have great superiority, because they are "non-Jinshi do not enter Hanlin, and non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet".
Generally speaking, after the disbandment of the museum, the Gyujishi would be awarded the position of editor (from the seventh rank) or review (from the seventh rank) according to their performance in the temple examination. The results of the palace examination are one of the important factors that determine their future careers.
Therefore, the results of each Jinshi's palace examination will have an important impact on their future career development.
In the early days, Hanlin held the position of editing and reviewing, and the rank was not high, and it was the lowest position in the Hanlin Academy. However, Hanlin's promotion speed is very fast, and he can generally be promoted to the rank of attendant and scholar (five or six grades) within three or five years, although these two positions do not have much actual power, but they have the opportunity to contact the emperor frequently, and the chances of promotion will naturally increase.
Lecture and study are a crucial step in the promotion career of Hanlin officials, and if they are not promoted to this level, then they may stop in the position of editing and reviewing.
In the Qing Dynasty, although there were a lot of such Hanlin, most of them were nerds who did not understand human feelings, and even some people have always maintained the status of poor Hanlin. Once promoted to a waiter and a waiter, the next step is to be promoted to the Shao Zhan Shi (Zheng Si Pin) and Zhan Shi (Zheng San Pin) of the Zhan Shi Mansion.
This is a typical promotion route for Hanlin officials, if you follow this route, you can be promoted to a certain department's squire, Shangshu, and even enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister. If you have the opportunity to be promoted to the rank of Cabinet Scholar and Chamberlain of the Ministry of Rites, it means that you have entered the ranks of the "Prime Minister".
According to the selection procedure, the Hanlin Academy attendants in the Beijing officials are given priority to lecture and read, and then the members of the Ministry are wailang and langzhong. Once Hanlin was released and did not return to the capital for a short time, it was natural for him to be promoted to the position of cloth press and governor.
Hanlin, who was unlucky, might be transferred to the Guozijian system and held important positions such as sacrificial wine, but it was more difficult to be promoted to Shilang and Shangshu, and most of them stopped at Sanpin Jingtang. Generally speaking, those from Hanlin are mainly gradually promoted in the position of student officials, and the route is relatively fixed.
In contrast, the first position granted to a person from a jinshi background is usually the head of each department, and it takes more than 20 years to be promoted to a squire.
The six ministries are responsible for specific administrative matters, with significant and error-prone responsibilities, especially the household department and the criminal department. In order to be promoted to the rank of Wai Lang, the head of the department needs to obtain a first-class grade in Kyocha and accumulate enough money within a certain period of time.
Those who served in the Sixth Department of Jinshi were promoted to the rank of Squire and Governor. In addition, those who are from Jinshi may also serve in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and embark on the path of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The Qing Dynasty's Kedao officials were an independent system with fixed transfer routes. When a new member of the Kedao system first joins the department, he is usually appointed as the superintendent of the imperial history or the six branches of the imperial history, and then promoted to the imperial history of the capital and the deputy imperial history of the capital.
In the Qing Dynasty, there were rules for promotion in the officialdom, and both Jinshi and Hanlin needed to be promoted to the rank of squire step by step, and the chances of promotion thereafter depended on the emperor's wishes. When there is a vacancy in the squire, the order of promotion is cabinet bachelor, deputy capital imperial history, Zongren Mansion Cheng, etc., among which those from Jinshi and Hanlin can hold middle and high-level positions in Shuntian Mansion Cheng and Han Minister.
In the Qing Dynasty, there were various promotion paths, but the difficulty of promotion was different for people from different backgrounds. Among them, the ** from Hanlin and Jinshi have obvious advantages, and their promotion starting point is higher, and they can directly hold important positions such as Zhongshu and pen post.
The ** who was born in the Gongsheng needs to start from a lower position, and only with outstanding political achievements and good luck can he be promoted to the middle position of the outsider and the lang. For the bannermen, their promotion path is different, most of the bannermen start as guards, and once they reach the first rank, they will naturally be promoted to the rank of squire or military attache of the Eight Banners.
However, for the ** who were born in the shadows, although they have a higher starting point, they still need to pass the assessment of the imperial court before they can be awarded positions. This is because Yin Sheng belongs to the standard configuration of the imperial court, so although there are a lot of ** in this part, the promotion speed is relatively fast.
In the Qing Dynasty, the children of the Eight Banners enjoyed political privileges, which was also a national policy of the Qing Dynasty, but it will not be elaborated here.
Generally speaking, if a person's background is not on the right path, then the highest rank he holds in Beijing cannot exceed that of Langzhong, and the highest rank of his position outside the country cannot exceed that of Taoist.
This is a general trend and we will not discuss individual special cases.
