Biography

余煌,会稽人。
明史卷二百七十六 列传第一百六十四:
  余煌,字武贞,会稽人。天启五年进士第一。授翰林修撰,与修《三朝要典》。崇祯时,以内艰归。服阕,起左中允,历左谕德、右庶子,充经筵讲官。给事中韩源劾礼部侍郎吴士元、御史华琪芳及煌皆与修《要典》,宜斥,帝置不问。煌疏辩,帝复温旨慰谕之。户部崇尚书程国祥请借京城房租,煌争,乞假归。遂丁外艰。服除,久不起。鲁王监国绍兴,起礼部右侍郎,再起户部尚书,皆不就。明年以武将横甚,拜煌兵部尚书,始受命。时诸臣竞营高爵,请乞无厌。煌上言:“今国势愈危,朝政愈纷,尺土未复,战守无资。诸臣请祭,则当思先帝烝尝未备;请葬,则当思先帝山陵未营;请封,则当思先帝宗庙未享;请荫,则当思先帝子孙未保;请谥,则当思先帝光烈未昭。”时以为名言。大清兵过江,王航海遁。六月二日,煌赴水,舟人拯起之。居二日,复投深处,乃死。
