Biography

郑均,东平任城人。
后汉书卷二十七 宣张二王杜郭吴承郑赵列传第十七:
  郑均字仲虞,东平任城人也。少好黄、老书。兄为县吏,颇受礼遗,均数谏止,不听。即脱身为佣,岁余,得钱帛,归以与兄。曰:"物尽可复得,为吏坐臧,终身捐弃。"兄感其言,遂为廉洁。均好义笃实,养寡嫂孤儿,恩礼敦至。常称病家廷,不应州郡辟召。郡将欲必致之,使县令谲将诣门,既至,卒不能屈。均于是客于濮阳。
  建初三年,司徒鲍昱辟之,后举直言,并不诣。六年,公车特征。再迁尚书,数纳忠言,肃宗敬重之。后以病乞骸骨,拜议郎,告归,因称病笃,帝赐以衣冠。
  元和元年,诏告庐江太守、东平相曰:"议郎郑均,束脩安贫,恭俭节整,前在机密,以病致仕,守善贞固,黄发不怠。又前安邑令毛义,躬履逊让,比征辞病,淳洁之风,东州称仁。书不云乎:'章厥有常,吉哉!'其赐均、义谷各千斛,常以八月长吏存问,赐羊酒,显兹异行。"明年,帝东巡过任城,乃幸均舍,敕赐尚书禄以终其身,故时人号为"白衣尚书"。永元中,卒于家。
