Biography

刘伸,宛平人。
辽史卷九十八 列传第二十八:
  刘伸,字济时,宛平人。少颖悟,长以辞翰闻。重熙五年,登进士第,历彰武军节度使掌书记、大理正。因奏狱,上适与近臣语,不顾,伸进曰:“臣闻自古帝王必重民命,愿陛下省臣之奏。“上大惊异,擢枢密都承旨,权中京副留守。诏徙富民以实春、泰二州,伸以为不可,奏罢之。迁大理少卿,人以不冤。升大理卿,改西京副留守。以父忧,终制,为三司副使,加谏议大夫,提点大理寺。以伸明法而恕,案冤狱全活者众,徙南京副留守。俄改崇义军节度使,政务简静,民用不扰,致乌鹊同巢之异,优诏褒之。改户部使,岁入羡余钱三十万缗,拜南院枢密副使。
  道宗尝谓大臣曰:“今之忠直,耶律玦、刘伸而已!”宰相杨绩贺其得人。拜参知政事。上谕之曰:“卿勿惮宰相。”时北院枢密使乙辛势焰方炽,伸奏曰:“臣于乙辛尚不畏,何宰相之畏!”乙辛衔之,相与排诋,出为保静军节度使。上终欲大用,加守太子太保,迁上京留守。乙辛以事徙镇雄武,复以崇义军节度使致仕。适燕、蓟民饥,伸与致政赵徽、韩造日济以糜粥,所活不胜算。大安二年卒,上震悼,赙赠加等。
