The tang dynasty was a major historical period in china's history, and its economic, cultural and political levels were relatively high. However, in the long history of tang dynasty, zheng dynasty became a heavy burden. As a special group in the court of tang dynasty, the officials not only have very high powers, but also have the ability to enter the court directly, to contact the emperor, to become the highest decision-makers in practice, with considerable influence on the governance of tang dynasty. This paper will discuss the specifics of tang dynasty in terms of his origins, status, role, rise and decline and the impact on his governance。
I. Source and status of tang dynasty
The tang dynasty officer originates from handai's squire, who is a special member of the court service, mainly the emperor's loyalties, escorts and service personnel. He is also a servant, but with the development of the tang dynasty, his position has gradually risen to become an important force for a ruler。
The position of the tang dynasty officer is as follows:
1. The number of officials is higher. In the early years of tang dynasty, there were not many officials, but at a later stage the number of officials began to increase. By the end of the tang dynasty, a bureaucratic hierarchy was formed, dominated by officials who appointed their own clients as officials at all levels and formed a “first-hand system”。
A large amount of wealth is held by officials. During the tang dynasty, officials flourished and many had their own businesses in the palace and outside. They have used this wealth to support their power struggles with the faction and have also engaged in public works, disaster relief and so on, to a certain extent, to safeguard the interests of farmers。
3. The official has a very high status in the palace. Since then, he has gradually entered the palace and has gradually supported the emperor in the administration of state affairs. In tang dynasty, he became more powerful, taking direct control of the palace's “celebrity”, becoming a real “doorkeeper” and increasingly influencing the emperor in his government。
Ii. The role of the tong daughter
Tang dynasty has two main roles: to support the emperor in the management of state affairs and to suppress and control other valve factions。
1 tang dynasty is supporting the emperor in the administration of state affairs
The chinese government of the tang dynasty goes back to the tang tai tung period. In the early years of the tyrannical rule, there was a split within the court among different factions, including the enlightened, the new and the dowry. At this point, the qiang officials successfully transformed their role and began to be recognized by the emperor as a high-ranking national servant, like the “prime minister” in netherin. The queen's guard, the protector of the crown, the ceremonial priest and the drinker, the money manager and the money manager are very high-ranking officials. Moreover, the tasks and functions performed by the officials are of great importance, who, by virtue of their proximity to the emperor, are better able to replace the emperor in the conduct of his affairs. He extended the powers of the emperor to various fields so that the emperor could better manage the country at his will。
2. Tang dynasty controls other valves yes
The warlord factions that exist in the court of tang dynasty are more complex and have their own powers, including those of the former dynasty and the ruling clan. At that time, he chose to defend his majesty's power, for which he fought various valves. During the tang dynasty, he defended the royal power by controlling the royal and court papers, examining the appointment and examination of public officials, demanding and restoring nobles, and establishing tax and financial routes, from which he had also taken a great deal of advantage。
Iii. Emergence and decline of tang dynasty
The tang dynasty officials were present at the time of tang tai tung, and their initial numbers were limited and very low status. Over time, however, the number of officials has increased and their status has increased。
There is a close relationship between the rise of tang dynasty and the reform of the “new law”. The "new law" reforms in tang dynasty led to the abolition of the system, the restoration of the rental tax and the preservation of the land. However, the land for the reform of the new law had not been smooth and had been resisted by many nobles. At this point, officials saw an opportunity to unite with powerful supporters of the new law, including others, to defend and promote the new law. During the tung dynasty of china, the officials were all military power assistants and were relatively superior. In the subsequent development of the tang dynasty, the ruler's control over a large number of internal and external assets has led to the establishment of a complete chain of value-added of the palace's property, thereby increasing his power and position. Over time, however, corruption and alleged court tyranny have led to growing discontent and protest。
In the end, he was beaten and killed by his foot and foot during the “arnt history” of the tong dzong era, when his position began to decline and the revival of the chinese bureaucracy marked the end of his era. During the last five generations of tang and song ming, despite the presence of a small number of court officials, their status and authority were no longer the same。
