Biography

张昇,南城人。
明史卷一百八十四 列传第七十二:
  张昇,字启昭,南城人。成化五年进士第一。授修撰,历谕德。弘治改元,迁庶子。
  大学士刘吉当国,昇因天变,疏言:“陛下即位,言者率以万安、刘吉、尹直为言,安、直被斥,吉独存。吉乃倾身阿佞,取悦言官,昏暮款门,祈免纠劾,许以超迁。由是谏官缄口,奸计始遂。贵戚万喜依凭宫壶,凶焰炽张,吉与缔姻。及喜下狱,犹为营救。父存则异居各爨,父殁则夺情起官。谈笑对客,无复戚容。盛纳艳姬,恣为淫黩。”且历数其纳贿、纵子等十罪。吉愤甚,风科道劾昇诬诋,调南京工部员外郎。吉罢,复故官,历礼部左、右侍郎。十五年代傅瀚为尚书。
  孝宗崩,真人陈应衤盾、西番灌顶大国师那卜坚参等以祓除,率其徒入乾清宫,昇请置之法。诏夺真人、国师、高士等三十余人名号,逐之。昇在部五年,遇灾异,辄进直言。亦数为言者所攻,然自守谨饬。
  武宗嬉游怠政,给事中胡煜、杨一渶、张襘皆以为言,章下礼部。昇因上疏,请亲贤远佞,克谨天戒。帝是之而不能用,昇遂连疏乞休,不允。正德二年,秦府镇国将军诚漖请袭封保安王,昇执不可。忤刘瑾,谢病。诏加太子太保,乘传归,月米、岁夫如制。卒于家。
