朱赓，明朝内阁首辅，浙江绍兴人。出生官宦之家，其父曾任泰州知州。朱赓十七岁中秀才，嘉靖四十年举乡试，穆宗隆庆二年登进士第，以文才闻名。
万历六年授编修，因侍读改日讲官，上疏反对宫廷大规模的土木工程和花石纲制度，被皇帝重视。历礼部左、右侍郎后升礼部尚书，并兼东阁大学士参与国政。
万历二十九年上疏 critiqued the harm of mineral taxes and proposed “守成、遣使、权宜” three plans with Shen Yihuan and Shen Qi. At age seventy-two, he alone managed state affairs amidst political turmoil. His proposals were met with resistance, but his dedication to reform was unwavering.
Despite facing opposition from officials like Song Wang and Wang Rulin, who sought to discredit him, Zhu Jie continued to advocate for reforms until his death in 1609 at the age of seventy-four. He was posthumously granted the title of Taibao and honored as a model statesman.
A scholar and poet in his own right, Zhu Jie left behind twelve volumes of collected works titled "Wen Yi Gong Ji" which are still studied today. His legacy serves as a testament to his commitment to public service and intellectual pursuits throughout his life.
