何晏思想及政治改革略论

A Brief Discussion on He Yan’s Thought and Political Reform

何晏作为曹操之养子,一方面受曹氏“尚通脱、重才智”家风的熏陶,另一方面受其祖父何进谋诛阉宦这一清流事迹的影响,不仅使其成长为正始玄学新思潮的领袖之一,而且对其忠君观念的形成有着一定的促进作用。何晏身为曹氏皇权第二代官僚集团的主要成员之一,面对当时儒学世族垄断官员选举、威胁曹氏皇权的政治局势,希望通过改革曹魏选举制度和地方官制来扭转政局,进而维护曹氏皇权。然而,汉末魏晋时期,皇权的持续萎靡以及儒学世族的不断壮大是当时的历史趋势,不是何晏一个人所能抵挡的。

He Yan was Cao Cao’s adopted son,on the one hand,he was influenced by the family style of Cao’s family,which was“advocating open-minded,appreciating wisdom”;on the other hand,He Yan influenced by his grandfather He Jin’s murder of eunuchs.It not only made him become one of the leaders of Zhengshi Metaphysics,but also promoted the formation of his loyalty to the king.He Yan was one of the main members of the second generation of Cao’s imperial bureaucracy,faced with the political situation that the Confucian clan monopolized the election of officials and threatened the royal power of Cao,he hoped to change the political situation by reforming the election system of Cao Wei and the local official system so as to safeguard the Cao imperial power.However,the continued decline of imperial power and the growth of the Confucian clan were the historical trends of that time,which He Yan alone could not resist.
