摘要

漢武帝晚年發生了巫蠱之禍，衛太子起兵以求自保，但漢武帝誤信太子造反，致使父子武力相向，最後衛太子以兵敗殞命收場。對於這一場災禍，歷來不少學者或認為武帝與衛太子之間的關係並不和睦，加上眾皇子的挑戰，致使衛太子的儲君地位不斷遭受威脅與挑戰，最後等到幼子弗陵的出生，武帝遂有了易儲的想法。本文分析劉據立為儲君後，有關眾皇子的挑戰，無論就時間、外家關係等因素，實無以動搖劉據的太子地位。即便幼子弗陵的出生，或許影響武帝的偏好，但仍不至於影響衛太子的地位。

Witchcraft disaster occurred in the late years of Emperor Wu of Han. The Wei Crown Prince had to raise an army to resist, resulting in the death of the Crown Prince himself. Many scholars believe that the father and son relationship was not good; in addition, the challenge from the other royal sons ultimately threatened the status of the Wei Crown Prince. After the youngest son of Emperor Wu was born, the father even fostered the idea of changing the heir to the throne. This article asserts that the position of the Wei Crown Prince should not be easily afftected as commonly imagined despite the birth of the youngest son and other possible factors.
