Ce Tian House in Tang Dynasty:
In the fourth year of Wude, the king of Qin defeated two separatist forces, namely Dou Jiande, King of Xia, and Wang Zheng, and captured them to Chang 'an, the capital city, to unify northern China for the Tang Dynasty. He thinks that he has been listed as the King of Qin, Qiu (the head of the three fairs, who is in charge of the national military) and the minister in charge (the governor of Shangshu Province, the head of the prime minister), and the existing official position can no longer show his glory, so he appointed this position and added Stuart (the second of the three fairs, who is in charge of the national education), who is still the minister in charge.
General Ce Tian's position is above the Prince and the Three Fair, nominally second only to the first three divisions of the civil service (that is, a surname, a teacher and a Pacific Insurance); Ce Tian Prefecture is the head of the military attache's yamen, which is above the 14th Weifang Prefecture. General can recruit talents from the government, which is called "Xu clique".
Because at that time, the first three divisions were vacant, and the second would be Li Shimin; The following is the prince, with Li Shimin, king of Qin, in the front [2]; Below the prince are the three fairs, Qiu is vacant, and Stuart is in front; Under the Three Fairs, he is actually the first prime minister among civil servants, which makes this general, the king of Qin, Stuart and the prime minister, regardless of the title or the incumbent officer, have the highest status among civil servants and military commanders, second only to Emperor Li Yuan and Crown Prince Li (the emperor is the king and the Crown Prince is the monarch for the liegeman).
The position of a general is an important bargaining chip with Crown Prince Li. In particular, the power to establish his own butler has made him gain a lot of convenience in recruiting talents. For example, on one occasion, at Fang's suggestion, he recruited Du Yan to the government to avoid throwing him into the camp of Prince Li.
After the change of Xuanwu Gate in the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin became the Crown Prince, and the position of this courtier was no longer needed. Therefore, on June 29th, Ce Tian House was abolished, and some Tang Dynasties did not move it.
The later Ce Tian House:
In the fourth year of Kaiping (9 10), Ma Su requested to appoint General Ce Tian, add a letter to General Ce Tian and open Ce Tian House. In the first year of drying (9 1 1), Ma Yin made Ce Tian Fu Bao earn a lot of money, including copper coins and iron coins, and some special kinds of copper coins, such as back dragon copper coins and gold-plated copper coins, which are very rare.
In the eighth year of Song Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu (10 15), Song Zhenzong's younger brother, Zhao Yuan and Zuo Wei, kings of Chu, were both made generals in Ce Tian, but they did not establish a government. After the death of Jing Wang Round Zhao Yuan, they were also awarded the title of General Ce Tian.
