宋初李飞雄案考论——兼论枢密院银牌制度的演变

On the Case of Li Fei-xiong and the Evolution of the Silver Medal System of Privy Council in the Early Song Dynasty

李飞雄案是宋太宗太平兴国三年(978年)四月,由官宦子弟李飞雄在秦州地区发动,假借密旨为名,意在夺取军队指挥权的未遂谋反事件。李飞雄对官场习俗的熟悉及其县尉女婿的身份使其以伪造马缨骗得驿马,从而开始作案。本案了结后,宋政府采取了一系列措施防微杜渐。而随即采用的枢密院银牌,则在一定时期内改变了宋代邮传凭信机制,并且在后世持续产生复杂意义。从本案中,我们也可以发现太宗即位后抑制武将,即“将从中御”政策下武将群体的复杂心态。
