Biography

王朴,同州人。
明史卷一百三十九 列传第二十七:
  王朴,同州人。洪武十八年进士。本名权,帝为改焉。除吏科给事中,以直谏忤旨罢。旋起御史。陈时事千余言。性鲠直,数与帝辨是非,不肯屈。一日,遇事争之强。帝怒,命戮之。及市,召还,谕之曰:“汝其改乎?”朴对曰:“陛下不以臣为不肖,擢官御史,奈何摧辱至此!使臣无罪,安得戮之?有罪,又安用生之?臣今日愿速死耳。”帝大怒,趣命行刑。过史馆,大呼曰:“学士刘三吾志之:某年月日,皇帝杀无罪御史朴也!”竟戮死。帝撰《大诰》,谓朴诽谤,犹列其名。
  有张衡者,万安人,朴同年进士。授礼科给事中。奏疏剀切。擢礼部侍郎。以清慎见褒,载于《大诰》。后亦以言事坐死。
