The Censorate is the Eyes and Ears of the Xinese Emperor they have a variety of functions for espionage, assassination, and a few others.

The Censorate is split into three branches. The public civil arm which keeps tabs on the nobles and official, the Military intelligence arm, and finally the more secretive assassination and torture arm.

The agents of the Censorate are known as the Jiniyiwei. They wear a yellow brocade robes, black hats or caps, and on the back of the robes a special symbol (Two intertwined dragons one white one black)

The problem for the officials of the empire is well their is no difference in the uniform of the branches meaning that Jiniyiwei sent to your court could just be a civil Jiniyiwei or they could be a assassin. This fear is what keeps most nobles and officials in check.
