Biography

吴悌,金溪人。
明史卷二百八十三 列传第一百七十一:
  吴悌,字思诚,金溪人。嘉靖十一年进士。除乐安知县,调繁宣城,征授御史。十六年,应天府进试录,考官评语失书名,诸生答策多讥时政。帝怒,逮考官谕德江汝璧、洗马欧阳衢诏狱,贬官,府尹孙懋等下南京法司,寻得还职,而停举子会试。悌为举子求宽,坐下诏狱,出视两淮盐政。海溢,没通、泰民庐,悌先发漕振之而后奏闻。寻引疾归,还朝,按河南。伊王典楧骄横,惮悌,遗书称为友。悌报曰:“殿下,天子亲藩,非悌所敢友。悌,天子宪臣,非殿下所得友。”王愈惮之。夏言、严嵩当国,与悌乡里。尝谒言,众见言新服宫袍,竞前誉之,悌却立不进。言问故,徐曰:“俟谈少间,当以政请。”言为改容。及嵩擅政,悌恶之,引疾家居垂二十年。嵩败,起故官,一岁中累迁至南京大理卿。时吴岳、胡松、毛恺并以耆俊为卿贰,与悌称“南都四君子”。隆庆元年就迁刑部侍郎。明年卒。
  悌为王守仁学,然清修果介,反躬自得为多。万历中,子仁度请恤。吏部尚书孙丕扬曰:“悌,理学名臣,不宜循常格。”遂用黄孔昭例,赠礼部尚书,谥文庄。乡人建祠,与陆九渊、吴澄、吴与弼、陈九川并祀,曰五贤祠,学者称疏山先生。
