《旧唐书·韩王元嘉传》勘误两则

Two Errors in the Biography of Li Yuanjia in The Old Histories of the Tang Dynasty

韩王李元嘉(619—688年),唐高祖第十一子,唐前期书画家,晚年因参与策划起兵讨伐武后事泄而自杀。其事迹两《唐书》均有记载。然笔者近读《旧唐书.韩王元嘉传》,发现有两处明显的舛误,兹略考述之。

Li Yuanjia（619-688）,King of Han Vassal state,was the 11th son of Emperor Gaozu of Tang.He was a calligrapher and painter in early Tang,and later committed suicide for his involvement in a coup d＇etat against Empress Wu Zetian.His deeds were recorded in both the Old and the New Histories of Tang.Recently,I have found two obvious errors in the former book,which are contextually analyzed in this paper.
