Biography

冯吉,河南洛阳人。
宋史卷四百三十九 列传第一百九十八:
  冯吉,字惟一,河南洛阳人。父道,周太师、中书令,追封瀛王。吉,晋天福初以父任秘书省校书郎,迁膳部、金部、职方员外郎,屯田、户部、司勋郎中,累阶金紫。周显德中,迁太常少卿。
  吉嗜学,善属文,工草隶,议者以掌诰许之。然性滑稽无操行,每中书舍人缺,宰相即欲用吉,终以佻薄而止。
  雅好琵琶,尤臻其妙,教坊供奉号名手者亦莫能及。父常戒令勿习,吉性所好,亦不能改。道欲辱之,因家宴,令吉奏琵琶为寿,赐以束帛,吉置于肩,左抱琵琶,按膝再拜如伶官状,了无怍色,家人皆大笑。
  及为少卿,颇不得意,以杯酒自娱。每朝士宴集,虽不召,亦常自至,酒酣即弹琵琶,弹罢赋诗,诗成起舞。时人爱其俊逸,谓之"三绝"。
  宋初,受诏撰述《明宪皇太后谥议》,见称于时。建隆四年卒,年四十五。
