任城王元澄在北魏所扮演的角色

北魏任城王元澄(467-519)，拓跋宗室一員，生於顯祖獻文帝時期，活躍於高祖孝文帝、世宗宣武帝、肅宗孝明帝三朝。北魏自孝文帝以遷都爲開端的漢化改革起，至靈太后爲余朱榮所害止，國家的變化最爲激烈，而元澄所扮演的角色也至關重要。本文分成二大部分，第部分分析元澄在孝文帝遷都與後續的漢化改革過程中，所扮演的角色與重要性；第二部分說明世宗朝高肇專權，打擊六位輔政大臣之際，元澄利用消極的方式逃脫恐怖的整肅行動；第三部分論述元澄在政權交替之際，加入靈太后集團，支持太子肅宗繼位，並且在靈太后首次執政期問，對國家各方面政策、甚至太后本身的作爲，擔負起直言忠懇的監督者。本文於文末總結元澄功過，並說明從政過程中可供評議之處。
