Biography

钱顗,常州无锡人。
宋史卷三百二十一 列传第八十:
  钱顗,字安道,常州无锡人。初为宁海军节度推官,守孙沔用威严为治,属吏奔走听命。顗当官而行,无所容挠,遇不可,必争之,由是独见器重。知赣、乌程二县,皆以治行闻。
  治平末,以金部员外郎为殿中侍御史里行。许遵议谋杀案问刑名,未定而入判大理,顗以为:"一人偏词,不可以汨天下之法,遵所见迂执,不可以当刑法之任。"不从。二年而贬,将出台,于众中责同列孙昌龄曰:"平日士大夫未尝知君名,徒以昔官金陵,媚事王安石,宛转荐君,得为御史。亦当少思执国,奈何专欲附会以求美官?
  顗今当远窜,君自谓得策邪?我视君犬彘之不如也。"即拂衣上马去。
  后自衢徙秀州。家贫母老,至丐贷亲旧以给朝晡,而怡然无谪官之色。苏轼遗以诗,有"乌府先生铁作肝"之句,世因目为"铁肝御史"。卒,年五十三。
