An New View of“the Ministers Called Generous Elders were Attached to the Crown Prince”——Discussion on Mr. Yan Bu-ke's Paper

文章通过重新分析各类核心史料,认为在汉武帝统治后期的高压政治生态下,朝中并不存在所谓"宽厚长者"守文政治势力。石徳、张安世等人亲附太子刘据,是出于政治投机目的,极少数持不同政见的臣僚,也不能作为形成政治势力的判断标准。分析武帝、太子在巫蛊之祸前后的政治表现,也难以得出所谓宽厚长者亲附太子形成政治势力的结论。巫蛊之祸超越了汉武帝、太子两条政治路线之间的纷争,交织着皇权、新兴军功集团、酷吏、外戚四股势力之间的争斗,深刻的影响了西汉中后期的政局。
