Biography
严砺，震之宗人。
旧唐书卷一百一十七 列传第六十七：
严砺，震之宗人也。性轻躁，多奸谋，以便佞在军，历职至山南东道节度都虞候、兴州刺史、兼监察御史。贞元十五年，严震卒，以砺权留府事，兼遗表荐砺才堪委任。七月，超授兴元尹，兼御史大夫，山南西道节度、支度营田、观察使。诏下，谏官御史以为除拜不当。是日，谏议、给事、补阙、拾遗并归门下省共议：砺资历甚浅，人望素轻，遽领节旄，恐非允当。既兼杂话，发论喧然。拾遗李繁独奏云："昨除拜严砺，众以为不当，谏议大夫苗拯云：'已三度表论，未见听允。'给事中许孟容曰：'诚如此，不旷职矣。'"又云："李元素、陈京、王舒并见拯及孟容言议。"上遣三司使诘之。拯状云："实于众中言曾论奏，不言三度。"繁证之不已。孟容等又云："拯实言两度。"拯请依众状。翌日，贬拯万州刺史，李繁播州参军，并同正。砺在位贪残，士民不堪其苦。素恶凤州刺史马勋，诬奏贬贺州司户。纵情肆志，皆此类也。
元和四年三月卒。卒后，御史元稹奉使两川按察，纠劾砺在任日赃罪数十万。诏征其赃，以死，恕其罪。
