 note = {At the beginning of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong’s 玄宗 reign, several irregular posts (使職) were established related to foreigners who had submitted to the dynasty in the area of “subordinated prefectures (羈縻州)” (hereinafter the Prefectures). This article focuses on the Constabulary of Aliens (押蕃使) in a reconsideration of the administration of the Prefectures at that time, examining both its disposition･and function.The first Constable was appointed from the royal family of the Tuyuhun 吐谷渾. During the first half of 8th century, Murong Ming慕容明was appointed to a deputy-irregular post, as were Murong Xiguang 慕容[口＋羲]光 and Murong Xihao 慕容[口＋羲]晧, who were leaders of the Tuyuhun. Therefore, originally, a head of the alien peoples subordinated under Tang was appointed Constable, and in that capacity he ruled over his people and made sure they pledge loyalty to the Dynasty. However, in the midst of domestic disturbances among the Turks 突厥 in 716, the role of Constable changed to the supervision and rule over the Prefectures in the place of the central government, preventing them from contact with outsiders. When the border defense system was reorganized centering around Military Commissioners (節度使), the Military Commissioner of Shuofang 朔方 also held the post of Constable over several alien peoples concurrently, then the post was incorporated into the duties of Military Commissioners. They were dispatched to each regional command (藩鎮) outside China proper due to the An and Shi Rebellions (安史之乱), with the exception of the southeastern coast. In this way, the management of the Prefectures by Constables was completed.From Emperor Xuanzong’s reign on, a change occurred in the national system concerning irregular posts, reflecting a change of the policy towards subject peoples. A change was made in the administration of the Prefectures by Protectorates (都護府) and Area Commands (都督府) at the border to use of irregular posts and Constable became an irregular post to govern the Prefectures. In the midst of several Prefectures becoming independent, the Tang dynasty strengthened its control over the most proximate Prefectures and the Constable became the main figure in this new policy.},
