李多祚与八世纪初唐政局之变

Li Duozuo and the Political Changes of the Tang Dynasty in the Early Eighth Century

《李多祚墓志》《李承嗣墓志》及《大唐故杨夫人墓志铭》对于补正和理清李多祚籍贯、参与神龙年间的政变等事实细节颇有价值。据墓志及传世文献所载,可推测李多祚籍贯为盖牟城,其家族于贞观十九年(645)入唐。自地方入长安后,他为唐王朝四处征战,并官至右羽林大将军。神龙年间,李多祚两次参与宫廷政变,其个人命运也随政变的结局而大起大落。此墓志在反映李多祚相关信息的同时,也凸显睿宗、玄宗对朝野政局的调整与掌控,得以窥见8世纪初唐政变之原貌。

The Epitaph of Li Duozuo,the Epitaph of Li Chengsi and the Epitaph of Lady Yang of the Tang Dynasty are of great value for supplementing and clarifying the facts and details of Li Duozuo’s native place and his participation in the Shenlong Coup during the reign of Shenlong.According to the epitaphs and the handed-down documents,it could be reckoned that Li Duozuo’s native place was Gaimou City,and his family clan entered the Tang Dynasty in the 19 th year of Zhenguan.After entering Chang’an,he fought everywhere for the Tang Dynasty,was appointed to the Feathered Forest General-in-Chief on the Right(You Yulin Dajiangjun in Chinese Pinyin),and participated in the court coups twice,so his personal fate fluctuated greatly with the political situation.The Epitaph of Li Duozuo has not only reflected the relevant information of Li Duozuo,but also highlighted the adjustment and control of the political situation of the court and the commonalty under the rule of Emperor Ruizong of Tang and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang,providing a glimpse of the original picture of the coups in the early Tang Dynasty in the early eighth century.
