王茂元与李商隐及牛李党争新释

A New Interpretation of Wang Maoyuan,Li Shangying and Factional Conflict between Niu and Li Blocs

在王茂元的仕宦生涯中,李德裕明显对其有所援引与偏私,故王茂元的确应属李党无疑;而王茂元之招义山为婿,则是李党藉以打击牛党的一桩政治阴谋。义山之卷入党争也并非无辜,而是其政治上的幼稚与急于事功的心理所致。

In Wang Maoyuan’s official career,Li Deyu obviously showed his assistance and preference,which shows that Wang Maoyuan was indeed a member to Li bloc.It was a political conspiracy that Wang Maoyuan seduced Li Shangying to be his son-in-law to strike Niu bloc.Li Shangying was not completely innocent when he was involved in the Factional conflicts because he was political naive and eager to make a name for himself.
