Biography

孟汉琼。
旧五代史卷七十二(唐书) 列传二十四:
  孟汉琼,本镇州王镕之小竖也。明宗镇常山,得侍左右。明宗即位,自诸司使累迁宣徽南院使。汉琼性通黠,善交构。初见秦王权重,及挟王淑妃势,倾心事之;及朱、冯用事,又与之缔结。秦王领兵至天津桥,时汉琼与朱、冯及康义诚方会议于内庭,谋犹未决,汉琼独出死力,先入殿门,奏于明宗,语在《秦王传》。汉琼即自介马以召禁军。秦王既诛,翼日,令汉琼驰骑召闵帝于邺。(《通鉴》:遣汉琼征从厚,且权知天雄军府事。)闵帝嗣位,尤恃恩宠,期月之内,累加开府仪同三司、骠骑大将军。西军既叛,闵帝急召汉琼,欲令先入于邺,汉琼藏匿不行。潞王行及陕州,乃悉召诸妓妾诀别,欲手刃之,众知其心,率皆藏窜。初,潞王失守于河中,勒归于清化里第。时王淑妃恒令汉琼传教旨于潞王,王善待之,故汉琼自谓潞王于己有恩。至是,乃单骑至渑池谒见潞王,因自恸哭,欲有所陈。潞王曰:“诸事不言可知。”汉琼即自预从臣之列,寻戮于路左。
