摘要
长期以来,明史研究者主要依据《明通鉴》所载,认为刘瑾于正德三年八月创罚米法。然稽之明清大量文献对此事的记载,与夏氏所载多有不合。本文通过对明清时期相关史料的爬梳分析,认为罚米法并非刘瑾于正德三年八月创设,而是刘瑾曲用、滥用了明代固有的赎刑制度中的“罚米赎罪条例”。
Researchers of the Ming-dynasty （1368-1644） history used to, based on History of Ming Dynasty edited by Xia Xie, believe that it was Liu Jin, a eunuch especially trusted by the emperor, who initiated the Salary-for-Absolution Act, in August of the third reigning year of Emperor Wu-Zong. However, a lot of other documents at that time have told stories that differ in many ways from Xia＇s record. This paper, based on an analysis of relevant historical sources, concludes that the Act was not Liu＇s invention, but his distortion and abuse of the ＂Rice-for-Crime Code＂, one that characterized the crime-redeeming system of the Ming dynasty.
