Biography
宋昌言。
宋史卷二百九十一 列传第五十：
昌言字仲谟，以荫为泽州司理参军。州有杀人狱，昌言疑其冤，坚请迹捕，果得真犯者。稍迁河阴发运判官。自济源之官，见道上弃尸若剐剥状者甚众，窃叹郡县之不治。既至河阴，得凶盗六辈，杀人而鬻之，如是十余年，掩其家，犹得执缚未杀者七人。县吏与市井少年共为胠橐，昌言穷治其渊薮，皆法外行之，而流其家人。擢都水监丞。
熙宁初，河决枣强而北。昌言建议，欲于二股河口西岸新滩，立土约障水，使之东流。候稍深，即断北流，纵出葫卢下流，以除恩、冀、深、瀛水患。诏从之。提举河渠王亚以为不可成，不如修生堤。朝廷遣翰林学士司马光往视，如昌言策。不两月，决口塞。光奏昌言独有功，若与同列均受赏，恐不足以劝。诏理提点刑狱资序，迁开封府推官、同判都水监。汴水涨，昌言请塞訾家口。已而汴流绝，监丞侯叔献唱为昌言罪，昌言惧，求知陕州。历濮、冀二州。河决曹村，召判都水监，往护河堤。灵平埽成，转少府监。卒，赠绢二百匹。
