On the assistant Zhonglang in the shogunate office during the Wei and Jin dynasties
During the Wei and Jin dynasties,the military shogunate of the feudal lords and their subordinate lords specifically set up the position of Zhonglang.It is no longer a private vassal of the emperor who oversees the army,but a trusted confidant of the prefect,maintaining a close vassal relationship with the superior.His position is between that of a chief official,a chief minister,and a military and civil servant.As a senior administrative assistant,he has the authority to inquire about the affairs of the shogunate,including consultation,intelligence,personnel,command,and constitutional affairs,and can fully represent the head of the shogunate in handling affairs.And he is a prominent official in the shogunate's discipline.The selection qualifications for the position of Zhonglang are in line with the fixed combination of the third grade of rural evaluation,with a focus on high class aristocrats from prestigious family backgrounds,but also with integration with excellent individuals from the poor.His official career includes several important positions for the second grade,and it is customary for the promotion process to be interconnected,which reflects that although the curtain of power had already been opened at that time,the convection channels had not yet been completely closed.At the end of his career as a middle ranking official,he generally rises to the rank of third rank official,which proves that the rural rank has an equal expectation function for the prospects of officialdom.The subjective evaluation of rural evaluation level by Zhongzheng is different from those solely based on the calculation of hereditary assets,which must be carefully distinguished in the study of Zhonglang and other officials.
