《旧五代史·后晋·列传十三》
从后梁、后唐以来，诸侯郡守，大多因功勋封授，不明治理之道，一贯多被身旁奸佞小人惑乱，变卖官职，用钱赎罪，剥削百姓，都有贪婪鄙陋的名声。实际上，贿赂的财物，半数都被他们的手下拿去。
自梁、唐已来，籓侯郡牧，多以勋授，不明治道，例为左右群小惑乱，卖官鬻狱，割剥蒸民，率有贪猥之名，其实贿赂半归于下。
Since the Later Liang and Later Tang, most of the marquises and county prefects were granted titles for their military merits and were not familiar with the principles of governance. They were usually misled by treacherous and cunning people, sold official positions for money, redeemed sins with money, and exploited the people. They all had a reputation for greed and vulgarity. In fact, more than half of the bribes went into the pockets of their subordinates.
