北魏孝文帝太子拓跋恂之死及其原因考析

On the Death and It's Reason of Prince Tuoba Xun ( 拓跋恂) in the Northern Wei Dynasty

太和二十年底,太子拓跋恂图谋北奔,孝文帝将其废黜,第二年三月又将其处死。孝文帝很注重对继承人的汉化教育,但太子恂颇为抵触。不过,年仅十多岁的太子恂之所以如此反感迁都洛阳与汉化变革,主要在于代北保守势力企图利用其太子身份以制造武装割据和分裂,这是孝文帝所绝对不能容忍的。与此相关,太子恂之死也与一些汉族人士力图根除鲜卑保守势力复辟隐患的政治态度有关。此外,太子恂被黜也与孝文帝后宫中皇后更易及其斗争直接相关。

At the end of Taihe （太和） twentieth years, Prince Tuoba Xun （拓跋恂） attempted to flee to the north, but his action was unsuccessful. As a result, Tuoba Xun was deposed and killed by Emperor Xiaowen （孝文帝）in March next year. Emperor Xiaowen attached great importance to Catechization Education. However, his successor, Prince Xun disliked Chinesization education, and was disgusted with moving the capital to Luoyang （洛阳） and transformation of Chinesization. Being a teenager, the prince was used by the conservative forces of North Dai （代北） who attempted to create armed separatist and division which emperor Xiaowen could not tolerate. Otherwise, Xun＇s death was also associated with some Han people＇s political attitude, who attempted to eradicate the hidden troubles of the Xianbei （鲜卑） conservatives＇ restoration. In addition, Xun＇s deposing had something to do with the Queen＇s replacement directly.
