北魏明元帝两皇后之死与保太后得势

密皇后杜氏与昭哀皇后姚氏均受明元帝的宠遇,又都于明元帝去世前三年的泰常五年死去,于是宫中再无皇后。明元帝去世后,太武帝的乳母窦氏受封为保太后,她不仅在后宫得势,还进而干预北魏朝政。对此一系列史实的考证说明,北魏为防止母权干预政治而确立子贵母死之规,但由此派生出保母抚养储君之成例,遂致保母干预政治,其结果竟与子贵母死之规的初衷大相违戾。

The Death of Ming Yuan Emperor's Two Empresses and Bao Empress Dowager Having the Upper Hand in the Northern Wei Dynasty

Mi Empress Du and Zhaoai Empress Yao,who were doted on by Ming Yuan Emperor,passed away at the fifth year of Taichang Period,which was three years before Ming Yuan Emperor's death.After that there was no empress in the Imperial Palace.After Ming Yuan Emperor's death,Taiwu Emperor's wet nurse Dou,who was conferred as Bao Empress Dowager,not only had the upper hand in the Imperial Palace,but also interfered the government affairs of the Northern Wei Dynasty.With the above-mentioned textual research,the article attempts to illustrate that: To prevent the emperor's mother from interfering politics,the regulation of son getting dignity at the cost of his mother's death was established in the Northern Wei Dynasty,but from this the rule of wet nurse fostering a crown prince was derived,which led to wet nurse interfering politics,and the result went against the original intention of the regulation of Son-dignity and Mother-death.
