完颜杲对金初政局的影响

Influence of Wanyan Gao on Political Situation of Early Jin Dynasty

在女真伐辽的过程中,完颜杲由初出茅庐的女真将领成长为具有开阔、深远战略眼光的军事将领、统帅,深受金太祖、金太宗信任。女真建国以后,完颜杲身居高位,在女真贵族群体中享有较高的威望,对加强女真贵族的凝聚力发挥了重要作用,是金初时期重要的军事家、政治家。作为金太祖与金太宗之同母胞弟,按照女真旧制,完颜杲被金太宗封为谙班勃极烈,为金代皇位继承人。但是,由于完颜杲先于金太宗逝世,直接导致天会十年的皇储争夺,进而导致金熙宗初期派系争斗不断加剧,使得金代皇位继承问题成为影响金初政局动荡的潜在威胁。

In the process of Jurchen’s expedition against the Liao Dynasty,Wanyan Gao grew from a fledgling Jurchen general to a military general and commander with an open and far-reaching strategic vision,and was deeply trusted by Taizu and Taizong of the Jin Dynasty.After the founding of the Jurchen,Wanyan Gao was in a high position and enjoyed a high prestige among the Jurchen aristocracy.He played an important role in strengthening the cohesion of the Jurchen aristocracy and was an important military strategist and politician in the early Jin Dynasty.As the brother of Taizu and Taizong with the same mother and according to the old system of Jurchen,Wanyan Gao was appointed as the successor to the throne of the Jin Dynasty by Taizong.The death of Wanyan Gao before Jin Taizong directly led to the ten-year struggle for the crown prince in the period of Tianhui,which in turn led to the intensification of factional dispute in the early period of Xizong,making the issue of succession to the throne of the Jin Dynasty a potential threat to the political turmoil in the early Jin Dynasty.
