Biography
张光前，泽州人。
明史卷二百四十二 列传第一百三十：
张光前，字尔荷，泽州人。万历三十八年进士。授蒲圻知县，补安肃。甫四月，擢吏部验封主事。历文选员外郎、稽勋郎中。乞假去。
天启四年，赵南星为尚书，起为文选郎中。甫视事，魏忠贤欲逐南星，假廷推谢应祥事矫旨切责。南星时与推应祥者，员外郎夏嘉遇，非光前也。光前抗疏争之，曰：“南星人品事业昭灼人耳目，忽奉严旨责以不公忠，臣窃惑之。选郎，诸曹领袖，尚书臂指，南星所甄别进退，臣实佐之。功罪与共，乞先赐罢斥。”亦被旨切责。未几，以推乔允升等代南星，忤忠贤意，削侍郎陈于廷及杨涟、左光斗籍。光前又抗疏曰：“会推尚书，于廷主议，臣执笔，谨席稿待罪。”遂贬三秩，调外任。
光前操行清严，峻却请谒。知县石三畏赃私狼籍，得奥援，将授台谏，光前出之为王官，其党咸侧目。明年，光前兄右布政使光缙治兵遵化，为奄党门克新所劾，亦削籍。兄弟并以忤奄去，见称于世。崇祯元年，起光禄少卿，不赴。三年，起太常。已，进大理少卿。累疏乞休，及家而卒。
