南宋地方政治探微——以朱熹按劾唐仲友事件为中心

A Study of Local Politics in the Southern Sung with Special Attention to the Case of Zhu Xi’s Impeachment on Tang Zhongyou

本文对朱熹按劾唐仲友事件的始末及其动因进行了考察,呈现当时台州地方政治的运作情况,借此来探讨南宋时期地方政治格局形成的机制。经过对朱熹六篇奏状的细致排比和辨析,本文认为朱熹按劾唐仲友,既有他与唐仲友在治理地方策略上存在差异的因素,也有针对当时地方官府普遍存在的各种弊端加以批评的考虑,是对唐仲友集团发起挑战。进一步,本文指出,朱熹按劾唐仲友事件实际上是地方官府与地方势力之间的一次政治博弈,反对唐仲友施政的地方势力利用官府内部的矛盾,暗中推动了对唐仲友的弹劾。在这场政治博弈过程中,朱熹只不过是一颗被利用的棋子而已,最终唐仲友虽然被罢免,朱熹也黯然辞去浙东提举一职。
