Biography

刘实,安福人。
明史卷一百六十一 列传第四十九:
  刘实,字嘉秀,安福人。宣德五年举进士。居三年,选庶吉士。正统初,授金华府通判。仍岁荒旱,请蠲租,且赎还饥民子女。义门郑氏族大,不能自给,又买马出丁,供山西邮传,困甚,亦以实言获免。母丧归,庐墓三载,起顺天府治中。
  景泰时,侍臣荐其文学。召修《宋元通鉴纲目》。实为人耿介,意所不可,虽达官贵人不稍逊。然颇自是。见同曹所纂不当,辄大笑,声彻廷陛,人亦以此忌之。
  天顺初,还原任。四年擢知南雄府。商税巨万,旧皆入守橐。实无所私。中官至南雄,入谮言,府僚参谒,留实折辱之。民竞前拥之出,中官惭,将召谢之,实不往。中官去,至韶州,闻韶人言:“南雄守且讼于朝矣。”惧,驰奏,诬实毁敕,大不敬。逮下诏狱。实从狱中上书言:“臣官三十年,未尝以妻子自随,食粗衣敝,为国家爱养小民,不忍困之,以是忤朝使。”帝览书,意稍解,且释之,而实竟瘐死。
  实苦节自持。政务纷遝,未尝废书,士大夫重其学行。其殁也,南雄人哀而祠之。孙丙,自有传。
