斛斯椿與高氏聯盟：尒朱氏政權崩壞的兩條線索

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English. 學界受《魏書》、《北齊書》影響，低估斛斯椿、高乾的重要性；本文則將兩人與高歡同等對待，認爲高歡能以弱擊强，打敗尒朱氏，乃拜斛斯椿精心佈局之賜。斛斯椿會與高歡不睦，除高歡舉兵而凌駕其上外，還有他的稱霸密謀，轉瞬淪爲高歡大業鋪墊之不甘。高歡對此亦心知肚明，他能超出同輩，乃把握率飢饉、殘破之六鎮餘衆東出就食之機，與孝莊帝死黨高乾等合作，以爲先帝報仇之名舉兵成就霸業。高歡也因此放棄“清君側”之想，往後更不得不廢黜人望所歸的節閔帝而改立孝武帝，此舉除“高祖（孝文帝）不可無後”的考量外，更有以孝文帝年長子孫之權威使斛斯椿屈服其下的用心。 The scholarly community, influenced by Wei Shu and Bei Qi Shu, has underestimated the role of Hu Sichun and Gao Qian in the collapse of the Erzhu Regime. This paper grants them equal importance with Gao Huan and argues that Hu Sichun’s strategic planning was instrumental in helping Gao Huan to defeat the Erzhu Regime despite his weaknesses. Hu Sichun’s subsequent fall-out with Gao Huan was not only due to the latter’s raising an army and domineering over him, but also because of his discontent with swiftly becoming a steppingstone for Gao Huan, which thwarted his secret ambitions to hegemony. Gao Huan was clearly aware of this, but by seizing the opportunity when the remaining troops of the six garrisons went east for food during the famine, and cooperating with Gao Qian, a diehard supporter of Emperor Xiaozhuang, he was able to rise above the rest and achieve hegemony in the name of avenging the former emperor. Thus, Gao Huan also gave up the idea of “cleansing the emperor’s close circle,” and even had to depose Emperor Jiemin who was supported by all and enthrone Emperor Xiaowu. This move was not only out of the consideration that “Gao-zu (Emperor Xiaowen) must have descendants, ”but also Gao’s attempt to use the authority of Emperor Xiaowen’s older descendants to press Hu Sichun into submission.
