Biography

刘延朗,宋州虞城人。
旧五代史卷六十九(唐书) 列传二十一:
  刘延朗,宋州虞城人也。末帝镇河中时,为郓城马步都虞候,后纳为腹心。及镇凤翔,署为孔目吏。末帝将图起义,为捍御之备,延朗计公私粟帛,以赡其急。及西师纳降,末帝赴洛,皆无所阙焉,末帝甚赏之。清泰初,除宣徽北院使,俄以刘延皓守邺,改副枢密使,累官至检校太傅。时房皓为枢密使,但高枕闲眠,启奏除授,一归延朗,由是得志。凡藩侯郡牧,自外入者,必先赂延朗,后议进贡,赂厚者先居内地,赂薄者晚出边藩,故诸将屡有怨讪,末帝不能察之。及晋高祖入洛,延朗将窜于南山,与从者数辈,过其私第,指而叹曰:“我有钱三十万贯聚于此,不知为何人所得。”其愚暗如此。寻捕而杀之。
