Some book friends want to understand the official system of the Northern Song Dynasty, but they feel dizzy after reading it. However, the official system of the Northern Song Dynasty is too complicated. According to statistics, there are more than 11,000, so I can only briefly talk about it here. And only the civil service system.

Before the reform of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty, official positions were complicated. We do not talk about institutional positions. As far as civil servants are concerned, they are divided into nine ranks and thirty ranks from top to bottom. Because the first rank is lacking, there are twenty-nine ranks in total.

Then the official ranks were divided into official ranks, official ranks, dispatched officers, decorated officers, and special honors.

For example, when Su You returned to Beijing from Weizhou, his full official title was Zhongshu Sheren, Baowen Pavilion Minister, Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, Protector of the Army, judge of the three cases of Zhouzhou, concurrently judge and prisoner, Hanlin Minister, and granted

Purple, wearing goldfish Bukuomi.

Among them, Zhongshusheren was originally an official position for drafting imperial edicts, but in the Song Dynasty, this official position was not held. The imperial edicts were drafted by Zhizhigao and Zhisherenyuan, which was an empty title, called post.

The Baowen Pavilion attendant system is also a post, but it comes from another system, called Guan Ge, which is what everyone often hears about the bachelor, bachelor, and attendant system.

This set of official ranks is very noble. It is the system of the emperor's attendants, that is, secretaries. The highest one is called the bachelor of Zhaowen Palace, which can only be the prime minister. The second is the historian who also studies national history, and can only be the junior prime minister. Then the bachelor of Jixian Palace

, can only be held by the last prime minister.

In addition, the prime minister was just a casual title in the Song Dynasty, and the official name was Tong Zhongshu Menxia Ping Zhangshi. The bachelor's title was used to distinguish the ranks.

The name of the deputy prime minister is Participating in Political Affairs.

Important members of the clan and clan can also hold this position. Generally, Jiedu envoys and Tong Zhongshu's subordinates are called envoys, such as Cao Guojiu.

Further down, there are the names of the pavilions, one for each emperor. The master of Longtu Pavilion is Taizong, Tianzhang Pavilion is Zhenzong, Baowen Pavilion is Renzong and Yingzong. The corresponding positions of each pavilion include bachelor, direct bachelor, and attendant.

System, Zhige.

Those above the rank of attendant are called attendants, who are the people around the emperor. Su You went from Zhi Baowen Pavilion to the rank of servant of Baowen Pavilion. If he is not demoted later, he will be promoted to zhi bachelor.

However, in the Song Dynasty, in addition to the Longtuge Pavilion, the Xiandi Pavilion was the most valuable, so if Su You wanted to be promoted to a bachelor, he could no longer stay in the Baowen Pavilion.

Guange is based on seniority, so you can basically only get through it slowly, and the starting point is basically the top three in the imperial examination and the background of the system.

Then it should be noted that this thing is separate from the Hanlin system. Hanlin bachelor's degree and privy bachelor's degree are another set of things, which are practical.

Dr. Yinqing Guanglu is a casual official. The system of casual officials ranges from the first rank of Kaifu Yitong to the third division to the ninth rank of generals and officials.

This is because Su You kept taking up foreign posts and was constantly promoted, so he jumped very quickly. He was from the first rank to the highest, with Te Jin, Doctor Guanglu, and Doctor Zijin Guanglu in between. As of now, Su You has been promoted again and again.

This has been upgraded to Doctor Zijin Guanglu.

Guardsmen are honorary officers. In this system, the first rank is from the seventh rank of the Martial Cavalry Lieutenant to the highest rank of the twelfth rank, the second rank of the Shangzhu Kingdom.

Of course, this is the honorary system for civilian officials, but not for military attachés. This is why Su You used it to annoy others.

That’s almost it. With the above mentioned, you can be sure of your success.

But there are some special cases, the last one is given.

In the Song Dynasty, it was stipulated that purple robes of the third rank and above were worn with a gold fish bag; scarlet robes of the fifth rank and above were worn with a silver fish bag; green robes of the sixth rank and below were worn without fish bags.

If the official rank is lower than the third rank, but other officials, such as honorary officers and casual officials, can wear purple robes if they reach it, this requires a special order from the emperor, which is called "gift".

The purple robe must be given to He Pei with the goldfish bag, so there is no saying that purple is given separately. It is given to monks. For civil servants, it is definitely said that the purple goldfish bag is given together.

I don’t know if everyone is more confused after reading this. I guess Zhao Xu was also confused, so in the next few years, Yuanfeng will be reorganized and another system will be implemented.
