Biography

刘延祐,徐州彭城人。
旧唐书卷一百九十上 列传第一百四十:
  弟子延祐,弱冠本州举进士,累补渭南尉。刀笔吏能,为畿邑当时之冠。司空李勣尝谓曰:"足下春秋甫尔,便擅大名,宜稍自贬抑,无为独出人右也。"后历右司郎中,检校司宾少卿,封薛县男。
  徐敬业之乱,扬州初平,所有刑名,莫能决定,延祐奉使至军所决之。时议者断受贼五品官者斩,六品者流。延祐以为诸非元谋,迫胁从盗,则置极刑,事涉枉滥,乃断受贼五品者流,六品已下俱除名而已。其得全济者甚众。
  出为箕州刺史,转安南都护。岭南俚户,旧输半课,及延祐到,遂勒全输。由是其下皆怨,谋欲将叛,延祐乃诛其首恶李嗣仙。垂拱三年,嗣仙党与丁建、李思慎等,遂率众围安南府。时城中胜兵不过数百,乃禁门坚守,以候邻境之援。广州大族冯子猷幸灾乐祸,欲因危立功,遂按兵纵敌,使其为害滋甚。延祐遂为思慎所害。其后桂州司马曹玄静率兵讨思慎等,擒之。尽斩于安南城下。
  胤之从父兄子藏器,亦有词学,官至宋州司马。藏器子知柔,开元初,为工部尚书。知柔弟知几,避玄宗名改子玄。自有传。
