“熙宁三舍人”封还李定词头原因探析--基于奏议分析兼论其政治意义

A Study on the Refutation of Li Ding’s Edict by “Three Sheren of Xining”: Analysis of the Memorial to the Emperor and its Political Significance

北宋神宗熙宁三年(1070)苏颂、李大临、宋敏求七次封还李定词头,以致诏令不行。三舍人以不合官制为由进呈7状奏议。事实上,三舍人矛头指向主持变法的王安石。三舍人封还李定词头代表保守派向革新派发起的强力阻击,彰显出北宋士大夫恪守官制的主体自觉精神,实现了对君权与相权的制衡,也突显了王安石变法在制度层面所遭遇的巨大阻力。

The 3 rd year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Song, Li Dalin and Song Minqiu had refuted the edict of Li Ding seven times, which made the empire’s edict unable to be carried out. The three Sheren proclaimed that the edict of Li Ding was not in line with system. Actually, the three Sheren aimed at Wang Anshi who presided over the reform at that time. The three Sheren’s refutation of edict showed a strong resistance from conservatives to revolutionaries. It also showed the subjective consciousness of the officials in the Northern Song Dynasty which reflected the great resistance of Wang Anshi’s reform on the system level.
