Biography
韦商臣，长兴人。
明史卷二百八 列传第九十六：
韦商臣，字希尹，长兴人。嘉靖二年进士。授大理评事。明年冬，商臣以“大礼”初定，廷臣下吏贬谪者无虚日，乃上疏曰：“臣所居官，以平狱为职。乃自授任以来，窃见群臣以议礼忤旨者，左迁则吏部侍郎何孟春一人，谪戍则学士丰熙等八人，杖毙则编修王思等十七人，以咈中使逮问，则副使刘秉鉴，布政马卿，知府罗玉、查仲道等十人，以失仪就系，则御史叶奇、主事蔡乾等五人，以京朝官为所属讦奏下狱，则少卿乐頀、御史任洛等四人。此皆不平之甚，上干天象，下骇众心。臣窃以为皆所当宥。况比者水旱疫疠，星陨地震，山崩泉涌，风雹蝗蝻之害，殆遍天下，有识莫不寒心。及今平反庶狱，复戍者之官，录死者之后，释逮系者之囚，正告讦者之罪，亦弭灾禳患之一道也。”帝责以沽名卖直，谪清江丞，量移德安推官。
迁河南佥事。讨平永宁巨寇，以功受赏。伊王虐杀其妃，商臣论如律。尝治里居给事中杜桐杀人罪。桐构之吏部尚书汪鋐。甫迁四川参议，遂以考察落职归。言官薛宗铠、戚贤、戴铣辈交章救，不纳。家居数十年，卒。
