Biography

万贵。
明史卷三百 列传第一百八十八:
  万贵,宪宗万贵妃父也,历官锦衣卫指挥使。贵颇谨饬,每受赐,辄忧形于色曰:“吾起掾史,编尺伍,蒙天子恩,备戚属,子姓皆得官。福过灾生,未知所终矣。”时贵妃方擅宠,贵子喜为指挥使,与弟通、达等并骄横。贵每见诸子屑越赐物,辄戒曰:“官所赐,皆著籍。他日复宣索,汝曹将重得罪。”诸子笑以为迂。成化十年卒,赙赠祭葬有加。十四年进喜都指挥同知,通指挥使,达指挥佥事。通少贫贱,业贾。既骤贵,益贪黩无厌,造奇巧邀利。中官韦兴、梁芳等复为左右,每进一物,辄出内库偿,辇金钱络绎不绝。通妻王出入宫掖,大学士万安附通为同宗,婢仆朝夕至王所,谒起居。妖人李孜省辈皆缘喜进,朝野苦之。通死,帝眷万氏不已,迁喜都督同知,达指挥同知。通庶子方二岁,养子方四岁,俱授官。宪宗崩。言官劾其罪状。孝宗乃夺喜等官,而尽追封诰及内帑赐物,如贵言。
