Why is Wei Zhi not the Prime Minister?

Correct the landlord's statement, Wei Zhi is the Prime Minister! ! !

First of all, tell the landlord what is the prime minister of the early Tang Dynasty. In fact, there was no clear official position called "Prime Minister" in the Tang Dynasty. There was not only one official position in the early Tang Dynasty, but four, namely, the chiefs of Shangshu, Zhongshu and Menxia provinces, namely, Shangshu left servant shot, Shangshu right servant shot, Zhongshuling and Menxia ambassador. In addition, there are some scattered officials who have been specially awarded special progress by the emperor, participated in politics and know something. It can be said that although the official position is not the prime minister, it has the power of the prime minister, and some great heroes belong to this situation. Such people are often more powerful than those who really hold the post of prime minister. Wei Zhi and Sun Chang Wuji both came to power in this way.

According to Tang Yao Hui, during the period of Emperor Taizong, he once held the four positions mentioned above, that is, the prime minister. There are 29 people in a * * *, namely:

Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen, Li Jing, Feng Deyi, Yu, Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang, Gao Shilian, Wen Yanbo, Cen Wenben, Hou, Yang Shidao, Dai Zhou, Li Ji, Zhang Liang, Ma Zhou, Chu Suiliang, In-seok Choi and Yang Hongli.

Knowing this clearly, we can know that Wei Zhi was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, official ranks were divided into nine categories, including official posts, honorary posts and knight posts. Generally speaking, an official is an actual official position, which means how much administrative power the representative has. Such as Shangshuling, Shangshu, Zhongshuling and Shizhong.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the system of three provinces and six departments, and the system of the Tang Dynasty followed the Sui Dynasty. Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Shangshu Province are also the highest government agencies in the country, responsible for the decision-making, deliberation and implementation of state affairs.

There are two orders for Chinese books in the province of Chinese books, which are second-class (the first three). In the first year of Longshuo (AD 66 1), Zhongshu Province was changed to Xitai, and Zhongshu Order was called Right Phase.

Under the door of the province, the second servant is the governor, which is the second product (the first three products of the generation). In the second year of Longshuo in Tang Gaozong (AD 662), it was changed to Dongtai, which was called Jacky. In the first year of Guangzhai in Wuhou (AD 684), it was called Yan Na, and in the first year of Hanggong (AD 685), it was changed to Luantai. In the first year of Kaiyuan (AD 7 13), it was renamed Huangmen Province, and in the first year of Tianbao (AD 742), it was renamed Jacky.

The chief executive of Shangshu Province is Shangshuling, in charge of the code and leading officials. Because Emperor Taizong had served before he ascended the throne, the precedent of the Tang Dynasty was no longer established. Take the left and right servants as the province's actual sir. (Note: It's a long way to go to assist the emperor in managing everything. However, since the Han dynasty, the rank has been different, and the title of Tang Shizai is especially incorrect. At the beginning, due to the Sui system, the Tang Dynasty took the three provinces as chief ministers, ministers and ministers to discuss state affairs. Later, Tang Taizong tasted it as the chief minister and minister. )

Therefore, the secretariat, assistant minister and left and right servants in the early Tang Dynasty were all prime ministers. In the seventh year of Zhenguan (633), Kevin·Z replaced Wang Jue as the assistant and became the prime minister!
