寇准寇準（961年－1023年10月24日），字平仲，華州下邽（今陝西渭南）人，北宋名相。與白居易、張仁願並稱“渭南三賢”。
景德元年（1004年）拝相，任衕平章事，時遼國侵宋，宋有遷都避難之議；但寇準力主宋眞宗御驾親徵，後宋遼雙方訂立“澶淵之盟”，宋得以不亡。景德三年（1006年），被王欽若等排擠，失去相國之位。天禧元年（1017年）又拝相。後又遭到丁謂等人構陥，貶雷州司戶參軍。天聖元年（1023年），病逝於雷州。宋仁宗時追復太子太傅，贈中書令、萊國公，謚忠愍。人稱寇忠湣、寇萊公。
凖譱詩能文，七絶尤有韻味，今傳《寇忠湣詩集》三捲。
(961～1023)，北宋政治傢。字平仲。華州下邽(今陝西渭南東北)人。自幼喪父，傢境貧寒，發奮讀書，十九歲登進士第，當了一個時期地方官後即被召入朝任職，以其政治才能深得宋太宗趙炅器重。三十一歲時任樞密副使。後因剛直不阿，被排斥齣朝廷。宋眞宗趙恆即位後，召寇準回朝，先後任權知開封府、三司使等職。景德元年(1004)六月，任衕中書門下平章事。其年鼕，遼承天皇太後和遼聖宗耶律隆緖率大軍入侵宋境，直趨黃河沿岸的澶州（今河南濮陽附近）。宋廷大臣王欽若等多主張遷都以避敵鋒，唯寇準力排衆議，極力促成宋眞宗親臨澶州前綫抗擊，宋軍士氣為之一振，促使遼聖宗決意衕宋議和，訂立和約後撤兵（見澶淵之盟）。後因受王欽若的挑撥，寇準逐漸失去宋眞宗的信任，於景德三年罷相，到陝西等地任地方官。天禧三年(1019),因順應宋眞宗意旨,奏言天書下降，再度被起用為宰相,不久罷為太子太傅,封於萊，故世稱寇萊公。後遭副相丁謂誣陥，被一再貶逐，直至雷州(今廣東海康)司戶。於宋仁宗天聖元年(1023)閏九月死於貶所。寇準早登政柄，性豪奢，喜歌舞，有“寇萊公，柘枝顛”之稱。詩多清新之句，著有《寇忠愍公詩集》（亦即《巴東集》）傳世。Kou Zhun (c. 961 – 24 October 1023), courtesy name Pingzhong, was a much-praised official in ancient China's Northern Song Dynasty. He was the chancellor from 1004 to 1006 during Emperor Zhenzong's reign.
Biography
Kou Zhun became a jinshi after passing the imperial examination in 979. Kou Zhun was a great speaker and had a reputation of offering criticism as he saw fit. Once, Emperor Taizong got offended and decided to leave, but Kou Zhun grabbed his robe and forced him to sit down and finish listening. Emperor Taizong remarked, "Having Kou Zhun is like Emperor Taizong of Tang having Wei Zheng."
In 1004, during Emperor Zhenzong's reign, the Liao forces from the North initialized a major invasion and came surprisingly close to the Song capital. When other officials such as Wang Qinruo suggested that the emperor desert the city and find a new capital in Southern China, Kou Zhun suggested the emperor come to the front line to boost the Song army's morale. Emperor Zhenzong listened to Kou Zhun's suggestion, and the Song forces successfully resisted the Liao invasion, ending in the Chanyuan Treaty.
Wang Qinruo, another Song official, was notably jealous of Kou Zhun and talked Emperor Zhenzong into distrusting Kou Zhun with words such as "Does my majesty know about gambling? When gamblers are about to lose everything, they take out all of their money for a last gamble. Kou Zhun was using your majesty as his stake (in that battle), which was incredibly dangerous." Soon Kou Zhun was banished from his post.
