曹魏后期政局中的夏侯玄与司马师

Xiahou Xuan and Sima Shi

夏侯玄与司马师曾为姻亲,又都是正始年同名士,但他俩分别是曹爽集团与司马懿集团核心人物。夏侯玄出任征西将军后离开洛阳这一政争中心,而司马师接任其中护军职务。司马师能助司马懿政变成功,与任此要职关系甚大。曹爽被杀后,夏侯玄被征回洛阳。他作为李丰等反司马氏势力的精神领袖,在政变阴谋失败后被杀。夏侯玄在正始改制中起过重要作用,而司马懿等反对这一改制,并在高平陵之变后废除了这些改制措施。司马师辅政后,仍反对"妄有改革",这其实也是对当年曹爽、夏侯玄等"妄有改革"的否定。

Xiahou Xuan and Sima Shi were once connected by marriage, and both of them were famous scholars in the years of Zhengshi. However, they were key people of Cao Shuang＇ s group and Sima Yi＇ s group respectively. After Xiahou Xuan was made Zhengxi general and left Luoyang, the central place of the political conflicts, Sima Sift took over as Zhonghujun after him. Sima Shi could help his father Sima Yi to succeed in the coup because of his holding this key position. After Cao Shuang was killed, Xiahou Xuan was transferred back to Luoyang. As the spiritual leader of Lifeng＇ s group against Sima family, Xiahou Xuan was killed after the coup con- spiracy was aborted. He played an important role in the Zhengshi reform movement, but Sima Yi opposed this movement, and cancelled almost all reform measures after the Gaopingling Coup. While he took the power, Sima Shi also opposed almost all ＂reckless＂ reform efforts, which were taken by Cao Shuang and Xiahou Xuan before.
