Biography

张文明,阳曲人。
明史卷一百八十八 列传第七十六:
  张文明,字应奎,阳曲人。正德六年进士。授行人,擢御史,巡按辽东。寻按陕西。镇守中官廖堂贪恣,文明捕治其爪牙二十四人,堂大恨。
  十三年,车驾幸延绥。文明驰疏谏,极陈灾异,且言江彬逢恶导非,亟宜行诛。朝臣匡救无闻,亦当罚治。帝不省。既而文明朝行在。诸权幸扈从者,文明裁抑之,所需多不应。司礼太监张忠等谮于帝,言诸生殴旗校,文明纵勿治。帝怒,命械赴京师,下诏狱。明年春,言官交章请宥,不报。比驾旋,命执至豹房,帝将亲鞫。文明自谓必死。及见帝,命释之,谪电白典史。时刘瑾虽诛,佞幸犹炽,中外谏官被祸者不可胜数。文明止于贬谪,人以为幸。
  世宗立,召复故官,寻出为松江知府。甫抵任,卒。巡按御史马录颂其忠,诏赠太常少卿。
