刘邦废太子事件发微

On the Incident of Liu Bang’s Dethroning of the Prince

《史记》中有多处文字涉及汉高祖刘邦废太子事件,从字里行间可以窥见事件的始末和真正原因。刘邦废太子之举,并不是为了江山社稷,而只是纯粹的爱屋及乌,是情感的选择,最终放弃废太子则是看清形势后理智战胜情感的决定。实质上,能够阻止刘邦废太子的主要力量是吕氏家族和以张良等为代表的功臣集团",商山四皓"只是他们为显示实力打出来给刘邦看的招牌。

In Historical Records, there are many places where the incident of Liu Bang＂ s dethroning of the prince is mentioned. You can detect the beginning and end as well as the real reason for the whole incident by reading between the lines. Liu Bang＇ s idea of dethroning the prince was not for the sake of the country, but merely a case of ＂Love me, love my dog＂, a choice of his sentiments. The ultimate reason why he finally gave it up was that his sense outwitted his sensibility after he had learned about the true situation. In fact, what could prevent Liu Bang from dethroning the prince was mainly a group of creditable courtiers represented by Zhang Liang as well as Lu＇ s family. ＂The most famous four scholars in the Qin Dynasty who resided in Mount Shang＂ were merely a showdown used by them to show their strength to Liu Bang.
