論貞元初年的禁軍改革

On the reform of the Forbidden Army in the early years of Zhenyuan

制度變革往往和政局變動有着密切聯繫。貞元初年,德宗改革禁軍制度,增加禁軍將軍的員額,並大範圍蒐集藩鎮將領進入禁軍。在這個過程中,諸多與李晟關係密切的將領被邊緣化。種種迹象顯示,這場禁軍改革中的人事動蕩和李晟等勳臣去位有着密切聯繫,不久後的李廣弘謀反就發生在這一背景下。自此貞元時代掃清了轉向"文"治的政治障礙。而這些經過"禁軍化"的藩鎮將領有很多先後出任節度使,成爲德宗重塑藩鎮秩序的重要憑藉。這也意味着"安史之亂"以來朝廷對藩鎮將領立場的改變。

Institutional changes and political situation were strongly correlated in Tang China.In the early years of the Zhenyuan era,emperor Dezong reformed the palace army system and summoned a large number of military officers from various military provinces to fill the palace army,which caused some generals who had close relationship with Li Sheng were marginalized.Obviously the reform was closely related to the removal of Li Sheng and other military generals.Later,the revolt of Li Guanghong also occurred in this political context.Some of the imperial palace officers with military provinces background were eventually promoted to military governors,which became the foundation of Dezong’s rebuilding of the political order of military provinces.This also means that the Tang court has changed its position to the officers of the military provinces since the An Lushan rebellion.
