Biography

余深,福州人。
宋史卷三百五十二 列传第一百一十一:
  余深,福州人。元丰五年,进士及第。崇宁元年,为太常博士、著作佐郎,改司封员外郎,拜监察御史、殿中侍御史,试辟雍司业。
  累官御史中丞兼侍读。治张怀素狱,事连蔡京,与开封尹林摅曲为掩覆,狱辞有及京者辄焚之。京遂力引深与摅骤至执政。大观二年,以吏部尚书拜尚书左丞。三年,转中书侍郎;四年,转门下侍郎。京既致仕,深不自安,累疏请罢,乃以资政殿学士知青州。
  政和二年,京复赴都堂治事,于是深复入为门下侍郎。七年,拜少宰。宣和元年,为太宰,进拜少保,封丰国公。再封卫国,加少傅。时福建以取花果扰民,深为言之,徽宗不悦。遂请罢,出为镇江军节度使、知福州。靖康初,加恩特进、观文殿大学士。故事,凡仆射、使相、宣徽使皆判州府,深以少傅、节度知福州,有司失之也。
  深谄附蔡京,结为死党。京奸谋诡计得助多者,深为首,摅次之。言者累章劾深,深益惧,丐致仕。建炎二年,降中大夫,临江军居住。寻以渡江赦恩,还乡里,卒。子日章,亦以言者罢徽猷阁待制。
