Biography

杨锐,四川绵竹人。
清史稿卷四百六十四 列传二百五十一:
  杨锐,字叔峤,四川绵竹人。少俊慧,督学张之洞奇其才,招入幕。肄业尊经书院,年最少,尝冠其曹。优贡朝考得知县。之洞督两广,从赴粤。光绪十一年,举顺天乡试,考取内阁中书。
  二十四年,之洞荐应经济特科。又以陈宝箴荐,与刘光第、谭嗣同、林旭并加四品卿,充军机章京,参新政。召见,锐面陈兴学、练兵为救亡策,称旨。七月,礼部主事王照上封事,尚书许应骙等格不奏。上闻,震怒,尽褫尚书侍郎六人革职,朝臣皆不自安。上手诏密谕锐云:“近日朕仰观圣母意旨,不欲退此老耄昏庸大臣而进英勇通达之人,亦不欲将法尽变。朕岂不知中国积弱不振,非力行新政不可?然此时不惟朕权力所不及,若强行之,朕位且不能保。尔与刘光弟、谭嗣同、林旭等详悉筹议,必如何而后能进用英达,使新政及时举行,又不致少拂圣意,即具奏,候朕审择,不胜焦虑之至!”锐复奏言:“太后亲挈大位授之皇上,皇上宜以孝先天下,遇事将顺。变法宜有次第,进退大臣不宜太骤。”上是之。
  已而太后再训政,诸言新政者皆予重诛。锐既下狱,自揣实无罪,谓即讯不难白,次日,遽诏与光第等同弃市。宣统改元,锐子庆昶缴手诏於都察院,请代奏,始传於世。
