Biography

吕翀,广信永丰人。
明史卷一百八十八 列传第七十六:
  吕翀,广信永丰人。弘治十二年进士。其请留健、迁言:“二臣不可听去者有五。孔子称孟庄子之孝,以不改父之臣为难。二臣皆先帝所简以遗陛下,今陵土未干,无故罢遣,何以慰在天之灵?不可一也。二臣虽以老疾辞,实由言违计沮,不得其职而去。陛下听之,亦以其不善将顺,非实有意优老也。在二臣得去就之义,在陛下有弃老成之嫌。不可二也。今民穷财殚,府藏虚罄,水旱盗贼、星象草木之变迭见杂出,万一祸生不测,国无老成,谁与共事?不可三也。自古刚正者难容,柔顺者易合。二臣既去,则柔顺之人必进,将一听陛下所为,非国家之福。不可四也。书曰‘无遗寿耇’。健等谙练有素,非新进可侔,今同日去国,天下后世将谓陛下喜新进而厌旧人。不可五也。”既削籍归,后起云南佥事。迁四川副使,修成都江堰以资灌溉,水利大兴。嘉靖初卒。
