蜀汉政局的新旧更替与魏延之死

The Transition from the Old Political Situation to the New in the Kingdom of Shu Han and the Death of Wei Yan

在诸葛亮辅政时期,蜀汉朝廷中形成了两股政治势力。一是由刘备时期的重臣所组成的前代旧臣势力,另一股是由东宫新人和丞相府新人构成的新人势力。诸葛亮北伐期间,蜀汉的中央政权长期由新人势力所掌控,出现了新人取代旧臣的趋势。在诸葛亮去世后,以魏延为代表的旧臣,企图打破蒋琬、费祎等新人执掌朝政局面。后主为了稳固皇权,保证新的政治格局的稳定,因此在新人势力的支持下,对前代旧臣进行了集中打击,魏延之死即是这一系列政治行动中的一环。

In Zhuge Liang's assistant period,there were two political forces in the Kingdom of Shu Han.One is the power of the former ministers composed of the important ministers of Liu Bei's period,and the other is the new force composed of the new people in the Eastern Palace and the new people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition,the central government of Shu Han was controlled by new forces for a long time,and there was a trend that new people replaced old officials.After Zhuge Liang died,Wei Yan,an old minister,tried to break the situation in which Jiang Wan,Fei Yi and other newcomers took charge of the government.In order to stabilize the imperial power and ensure the stability of the new political pattern,the last emperor of Shu Han,with the support of the new forces,focused on the elimination of the former ministers.Wei Yanzhi's death was one of these political actions.
