Biography

张琳,沈州人。
辽史卷一百二 列传第三十二:
  张琳,沈州人。幼有大志。寿隆末,为秘书中允。天祚即位,累迁户部使。顷之,擢南府宰相。初,天祚之败于女直也,意谓萧奉先不知兵,乃召琳付以东征事。琳以旧制,凡军国大计,汉人不与,辞之。上不允,琳奏曰:“前日之败,失于轻举。若用汉兵二十万分道进讨,无不克者。”上许其半,仍诏中京、上京、长春、辽西四路计户产出军。时有起至二百军者,生业荡散,民甚若之。四路军甫集,寻复遁去。及中京陷,天祚幸云中,留琳与李处温佐魏国王淳守南京。处温父子召琳,欲立淳为帝,琳曰:“王虽帝胄,初无上命;摄政则可,即真则不可。”处温曰:“今日之事,天人所与,岂可易也!”琳虽有难色,亦勉从之。淳既称帝,诸将咸居权要,琳独守太师,十日一朝,平章军国大事。阳以元老尊之,实则不使与政。琳由是郁悒而卒。
