Biography

张四知,费县人。
明史卷二百五十三 列传第一百四十一:
  张四知者,费县人。天启二年进士。由庶吉士授检讨。崇祯中,历官礼部右侍郎。貌寝甚,尝患恶疡。十一年六月,廷推阁臣忽及之。给事中张淳劾其为祭酒时贪污状,四知愤,帝前力辨,言己孤立,为廷臣所嫉。帝意颇动,薛国观因力援之。明年五月与姚明恭、魏照乘俱拜礼部尚书兼东阁大学士。
  明恭,蕲水人。出赵兴邦门,公论素不予。崇祯十一年,由詹事迁礼部侍郎,教习庶吉士。给事中耿始然劾其与副都御史袁鲸比而为奸利,帝不听。明年遂柄用。
  照乘,滑人。天启时,为吏部都给事中。崇祯十一年,历官兵部侍郎。明年,国观引入阁。
  三人者,皆庸劣充位而已。四知加太子太保,进吏部尚书、武英殿。明恭加太子太保,进户部尚书、文渊阁。照乘加太子少傅,进户部尚书、文渊阁。帝自即位,务抑言官,不欲以其言斥免大臣。弹章愈多,位愈固。四知秉政四载,为给事中马嘉植,御史郑昆贞、曹溶等所劾,帝皆不纳,十五年六月始致仕。照乘亦四载,御史杨仁愿、徐殿臣、刘之渤相继论劾,引疾去。明恭甫一载,乡人诣阙讼之,请告归。后四知降于我大清。
