Biography

孟鹄,魏州人。
旧五代史卷六十九(唐书) 列传二十一:
  孟鹄,魏州人。庄宗初定魏博,选干吏以计兵赋,以鹄为度支孔目官。明宗时,为邢洺节度使,每曲意承迎,明宗甚德之。及孔谦专典军赋,徵督苛急,明宗尝切齿。及即位,鹄自租庸勾官擢为客省副使、枢密承旨,迁三司副使,出为相州刺史。会范延光再迁枢密,乃征鹄为三司使。初,鹄有计画之能,及专掌邦赋,操割依违,名誉顿减。期年发疾,求外任,仍授许州节度使。谢恩退,帝目送之,顾为侍臣曰:“孟鹄掌三司几年,得至方镇?”范延光奏曰:“鹄于同光世已为三司勾官,天成初为三司副使,出刺相州,入判三司又二年。”帝曰:“鹄以干事,遽至方镇,争不勉旃。”鹄与延光俱魏人,厚相结托,暨延光掌枢务,援引判三司,又致节钺,明宗知之,故以此言讥之。到任未周岁,卒。赠太傅。
