王春瑜在他主编的《中国反贪史》《序言》中有三叹。一叹贪官污吏何其多,二叹清官何其少,三叹改革家怎能忘记赃乱死多门。我翻读此书,认为此外还得接着加上一叹:反贪何其险! 上回读毕此书《清朝》一章后,我写了一篇《嘉庆尚且怕和坤》,已有此意。这回读《明朝》一章,这种观感更强烈了。朱元璋是坚决反贪的。他规定,贪污六十两银子以上者,“枭首示众,仍剥皮实草”,并将之挂于官府公座两旁,使官吏一见便触目惊心。管你什么皇亲国戚,该杀该剥皮绝不轻饶。百姓还拥有将贪官污吏“绑缚赴京治罪”的特权,反贪有功者受奖……他从“人皆贪”观点出发,把官吏当贼来防,宁错勿漏,一时果然收到效果。但是,不到一百年,朱元璋这一套被他的接班人破坏掉,大贪官陆续出现了。 Wang Chunyu has three sighs in his “Preface to the History of Anti-Corruption in China”. One sighed corrupt officials how much, the second sigh Officer less, three sighed how the reformist can not forget the stolen goods and more death door. I read this book, in addition to have to then add a sigh: the risk of anti-corruption! Read the end of this book “Qing Dynasty” chapter, I wrote an article, “Jia Qing still afraid and Kun,” already have this meaning. This reading of the “Ming Dynasty” chapter, this feeling even stronger. The emperor is resolutely fighting corruption. He stipulated that those who embezzled more than sixty-two silver bullion should still be peeled off by public officials on both sides of the public mansion, so officials would be shocked at a glance. What kind of royal family control you, the kill the skinning is never light Rao. The people also have the privilege of “corrupting corrupt officials in Beijing to bind criminals”, and the anti-corruption meritorious people are honored ... From the perspective of “everyone is greedy,” he took the officials as a thief to guard against mistakes, effect. However, in less than one hundred years, the emperor was destroyed by his successor and the corrupt officials appeared one after another.
