司隶校尉 / Sili Xiaowei (Western Han)

Overview

司隶校尉 / Sili Xiaowei enters the wiki through Hanji 441 as 盖宽饶’s office under 汉宣帝. The episode describes it as a powerful supervisory role over the capital and nearby areas.

Current Profile

The current profile is institutional rather than biographical. Hanji 441 uses the office to explain why Gai was both important and vulnerable: a capital-area supervisory official can expose misconduct and restrain corrupt actors, but that same duty generates enemies. 郑昌’s defense of Gai depends on this point: the office’s duty, combined with Gai’s lack of powerful backing, makes many enemies and few protectors predictable.

Key Characteristics

• Western Han supervisory office associated in this source with capital and surrounding-area oversight.
• Role that carries high conflict exposure because it can investigate or criticize powerful actors.
• Institutional context for Gai Kuanrao’s many enemies and limited protection.

Evidence

Office scope:

• Hanji 441 says the sili xiaowei supervises the capital and surrounding places and carries major power.

Conflict exposure:
