Biography
刘魁，泰和人。
明史卷二百九 列传第九十七：
刘魁，字焕吾，泰和人。正德中登乡荐。受业王守仁之门。嘉靖初，谒选，得宝庆府通判。历钧州知州，潮州府同知。所至洁己爱人，扶植风教。入为工部员外郎，疏陈安攘十事，帝嘉纳。二十一年秋，帝用方士陶仲文言，建祐国康民雷殿于太液池西。所司希帝意，务宏侈，程工峻急。魁欲谏，度必得重祸，先命家人鬻棺以待。遂上帝曰：“顷泰享殿、大高玄殿诸工尚未告竣。内帑所积几何？岁入几何？一役之费动至亿万。土木衣文绣，匠作班朱紫，道流所居拟于宫禁。国用已耗，民力已竭，而复为此不经无益之事，非所以示天下后世。”帝震怒，杖于廷，锢之诏狱。时御史杨爵先已逮系，既而给事中周怡继至，三人屡濒死，讲诵不辍。系四年得释，未几复追逮之。魁未抵家，缇骑已先至，系其弟以行。魁在道闻之，趣就狱，复与爵、怡同系。时帝怒不测，狱吏惧罪，窘迫之愈甚，至不许家人通饮食。而三人处之如前，无几微尤怨。又三年，与爵、怡同释，寻卒。隆庆初，赠恤如制。
