Biography
姚善，安陆人。
明史卷一百四十二 列传第三十：
姚善，字克一，安陆人。初姓李。洪武中由乡举历祁门县丞，同知庐州、重庆二府。三十年迁苏州知府。初，太祖以吴俗奢僣，欲重绳以法，黠者更持短长相攻讦。善为政持大体，不为苛细，讼遂衰息，吴中大治。好折节下士，敬礼隐士王宾、韩奕、俞贞木、钱芹辈。以月朔会学宫，迎芹上座，请质经义。芹曰：“此非今所急也。”善悚然起问。芹乃授以一册。视之，皆守御策。
时燕兵已南下，密结镇、常、嘉、松四郡守，练民兵为备。荐芹于朝，署行军断事。善寻至京师。会朝廷以燕王上书贬齐泰、黄子澄于外，善言不当贬，遂复召二人。建文四年诏兼督苏、松、常、镇、嘉兴五府兵勤王。兵未集，燕王已入京师。时子澄匿善所，约共航海起兵。善谢曰：“公，朝臣，当行收兵图兴复。善守土，与城存亡耳。”子澄去，善为麾下许千户者缚以献，不屈，死。年四十三。子节等四人俱戍配。
