Biography

刘璟。
明史卷一百二十八 列传第十六:
  璟,字仲璟,基次子,弱冠通诸经。太祖念基,每岁召璟同章溢子允载、叶琛子永道、胡深子伯机,入见便殿,燕语如家人。洪武二十三年命袭父爵。璟言有长兄子廌在。帝大喜,命廌袭封,以璟为閤门使,且谕之曰:“考宋制,閤门使即仪礼司。朕欲汝日夕左右,以宣达为职,不特礼仪也。”帝临朝,出侍班,百官奏事有阙遗者,随时纠正。都御史袁泰奏车牛事失实,帝宥之,泰忘引谢。璟纠之,服罪。帝因谕璟:“凡似此者,即面纠,朕虽不之罪,要令知朝廷纲纪。”己,复令同法司录狱囚冤滞。谷王就封,擢为左长史。
  璟论说英侃,喜谈兵。初,温州贼叶丁香叛,延安侯唐胜宗讨之,决策于璟。破贼还,称璟才略。帝喜曰:“璟真伯温儿矣。”尝与成祖弈,成祖曰:“卿不少让耶?”璟正色曰:“可让处则让,不可让者不敢让也。”成祖默然。靖难兵起,璟随谷王归京师,献十六策,不听。令参李景隆军事。景隆败,璟夜渡卢沟河,冰裂马陷,冒雪行三十里。子貊自大同赴难,遇之良乡,与俱归。上《闻见录》,不省,遂归里。成祖即位,召璟,称疾不至。逮入京,犹称殿下。且云:“殿下百世后,逃不得一‘篡’字。”下狱,自经死。法官希旨,缘坐其家。成祖以基故,不许。宣德二年授貊刑部照磨。
