李建泰

李建泰(?—1649年),复余,号括苍山西曲沃人,明末清初政治人物。

生平

天启元年辛酉科举人,五年(1625年)乙丑进士,改庶吉士,崇祯元年(1628年)授翰林院编修,历任国子监祭酒,颇著声望。崇祯十六年(1643年)五月,擢吏部右侍郎,十一月入阁,拜东阁大学士。史称“风骨峭拔”、“性情慷慨”。

李的家乡遭到李自成破坏,故有平定李自成之心。不久,平阳失陷,思宗临朝叹曰:“朕非亡国之君,事事皆亡国之象。祖宗栉风沐雨之天下,一朝失之,何面目见于地下!朕愿督师亲决一战,身死沙场无所恨,但死不瞑目耳!”此时,建泰以家乡被李自成所破,锐意一雪前耻为由领兵。思宗赐与建泰兵部尚书一职及尚方剑,便宜从事。

行军数里后,士兵见所乘肩忽折断,均认为不祥之兆。朔后,建泰得悉山西峰火遍野,故意放慢行军速度,每日只行三十里,到涿州时,约有士兵三千人逃脱[1]。行进至河间府东光县,因军纪不整,东光县闭城拒守,建泰停留攻城三日,破城;至顺德府广宗县,当地士绅同样闭城不纳,建泰停留三日攻破,杀当地乡绅王佐知县张宏基。[2]二月,形势急转直下,李建泰派人上奏说:“贼势大,不可敌矣。愿奉皇太子南去。”至保定时,李自成军逼近,明军不敢前进,李建泰已病,中军郭中杰有见及此,向李自成投降。保定随即陷落,知府何复、乡官张罗彦等被杀。建泰自刎不成,被李自成之将刘芳亮所捕。

清兵入关后,李被召为内院大学士(内阁大学士之前身),不久后罢官。顺治六年(1649年)姜瓖大同起事,建泰响应[3]。却兵败而归。李对其五十妾言:“吾今必死,汝辈有一人肯从吾死者乎?”随后,李被擒杀。
