張廷樞 (景峰 紫垣 息園)

CHANG T'ing-shu 張廷樞 (T. 景峰) d. 1729, official, was a native of Han-ch'êng, Shensi. His father, Chang Ku-hsing (張顧行, a chin-shih of 1667), was grain intendant of Nanking. Chang T'ing-shu became a chin-shih in 1682 and after a period of study in the Hanlin Academy received the rank of a compiler. In 1691 he became diarist attached to the Office for Keeping a Diary of the Emperor's Movements (日講起居注官), and after several promotions he was made in 1706 junior vice-president of the Board of Civil Office. Soon after this he was associated with Sihana 席哈納 (Grand Secretary, 1702–08) and Hsiao Yung-tsao in reviewing a case which involved several officials. In 1709 he became president of the Board of Punishments, but in the following year was removed from office for commuting sentences by his own authority. In 1712 he was again placed in office as president of the Board of Works, and was a member of the second commission to try the case of Chang Po-hsing and Gali which recommended that the latter be dismissed. In 1713 he was again president of the Board of Punishments, but in 1723 was degraded five ranks on a charge of purposely giving too light a sentence to Ch'ên Mêng-lei. He then returned home. His son, Chang chin 張縉, a chin-shih of 1713 who held the sinecure post of secretary of the Supervisorate of Imperial Instruction, also took sick leave and returned home. In 1728 Chang T'ing-shu was accused of having some years before accepted a bribe, but he died while on the way to his trial. Chang Chin was banished for not securing delivery of the funds in question, and his family property was confiscated. Another son, Chang Yen 張綖, a chin-shih of 1715, once held office as a secretary of the Board of Revenue.

張廷樞，字景峰，陝西韓城人。父顧行，康熙六年進士，官江安督糧道。廷樞，二十一年進士，選庶吉士，授編修。三十八年，以侍讀主江南鄉試。四十一年，以內閣學士督江南學政。四十四年，聖祖南巡，賜御書、冠服。四十五年，遷吏部侍郎，充經筵講官。

湖廣容美土司田舜年揭其子昞如貪庸暴戾，昞如匿桑植土司向長庚所，不赴鞫。總督石文晟以聞，並劾舜年僭妄。命左都御史梅鋗、內閣學士二格會文晟按治。舜年詣武昌，文晟執之，病卒。鋗與文晟各具議疏陳，二格疏言佐證未集，未可即定議。詔廷樞偕大學士席哈納、侍郎蕭永藻覆勘，舜年各款俱虛，梅鋗以草率具奏，下部議奪官；文晟及湖北巡撫劉殿衡、偏沅巡撫趙申喬、提督俞益謨各降罰有差。

四十八年，進刑部尚書。民張三等盜倉米，步軍統領託合齊逮送刑部，滿尚書齊世武擬斬監候，廷樞持不可，擬充軍。下九卿議，廷樞改擬不當，當罰俸。上責廷樞偏執好勝，奪官。俄，託合齊得罪，五十一年，起廷樞工部尚書。江南總督噶禮、江蘇巡撫張伯行互訐，命尚書張鵬翮、總督赫壽按治，議奪伯行官。上復命廷樞與尚書穆和倫覆勘，如鵬翮等議。疏下九卿，上特命奪噶禮官，伯行復任。

五十二年，調刑部。五十六年，河南宜陽知縣張育徽加徵火耗虐民，盜渠亢珽結澠池盜李一臨據神垕寨為亂，並劫永寧知縣高式青入寨；閿鄉盜王更一亦藉知縣白澄豫徵錢糧，嘯聚圍縣城；巡撫張聖佐、總兵馮君侁不能平，又匿不以起釁所由入告。命廷樞與內閣學士勒什布按治，珽自縊；更一、一臨就擒，置之法；澄、育徽擬絞監候；聖佐、君侁奪官；并追咎原任巡撫李錫令屬吏加徵激變，論斬。蘭陽白蓮教首袁進等謀不軌，命廷樞併按，論罪如律。五十八年，南陽鎮兵為亂，辱知府沈淵，命廷樞偕內閣學士高其倬按治；浙江巡鹽御史哈爾金受商人賕，被劾，命廷樞偕內閣學士德音按治。并論如法。

廷樞還京師，疏言：「河南漕米自康熙十四年每石改折銀八錢解部，嗣因米賤，部議以一錢五分解部，餘交巡撫購米起運。巡撫分委州縣，州縣復派民買輸，甚為閭閻累。請交糧道購運，毋得派累民間。」下部議行。

世宗在藩邸，優徐采嗾傭者箠殺人，部議以傭抵。廷樞獨議罪在采，坐徙邊。世宗即位，褒廷樞抗直，復逮采論罪。雍正元年，以原任編修陳夢雷侍誠郡王得罪，命發黑龍江，廷樞循故事，方冬停遣，又出其子使治裝。尚書隆科多劾廷樞徇縱，命鐫五級，逐回籍。

子縉，進士，官中允，亦以告病家居。六年，陝西巡撫西琳劾廷樞受河督趙世顯贓六千，抗追不納，縉居鄉不法。詔奪廷樞及縉官，令所司嚴訊。廷樞被逮，道卒。總督岳鍾琪議縉當斬，籍其家，詔特寬免，令縉在川、陝沿邊修城贖罪。乾隆時，復廷樞官，追諡文端。子綖，亦進士，官戶部主事。
