“天夺其鉴”抑或“早有始谋”——读隋史炀帝东迁诸事札记

“God Take the Mind from Him”or“All the Things Had Been Premeditated”—— Notes of Reading Historical Records About A Series of Incidents linked the Easterly Trajectory by Emperor Yang,Which Happened in Sui Dynasty

隋炀帝执政后期遭遇的雁门之围,是其政治生涯的分水岭。此后他南至洛阳,东向江都,拟渡长江而遇弑,再未返回京师长安。考诸史籍,炀帝东迁构想的萌生当始于雁门。从东都、江都而至丹阳的行进路线,是炀帝启程以来虽然隐微、实质上却一以贯之的计划。围绕这一计划的展开作相应稽考,可以对炀帝在东迁过程中的诸种反常表现与隋末关东、江南的政治形势变化作出更为合理的解释。

The Siege of Yanmen happened in Emperor Yang's later years,was a watershed on his political career. After that he turned south to Luoyang,then east to Jiangdu,planned to cross the Changjiang River,nevertheless,was been murdered in Jiangdu,no hope of ever returning to Chang'an( the capital of Sui Empire). By investigating historical data,we find Emperor Yang's idea of going east may appeared at the time he stayed in Yanmen. The itinerary from Luoyang,to Jiangdu,and to the destination Danyang is a plan from beginning to end; however,it is always hard to tell. When we focus on this plan,we may find a more rational interpretation on Emperor Yang's abnormal behavior in his journey,and the changes in the political situation about Guandong and Jiangnan area.
