Biography

王庭允。
旧五代史卷八十八(晋书) 列传三:
  王庭允,字绍基,其先长安人也。祖处存,定州节度使。父邺,晋州节度使。庭允,唐庄宗之内表也。性勇剽狡捷,鹰瞬隼视,喑呜眦睚,则挺剑而不顾。少为晋阳军校,以攻城野战为务,暑不息嘉树之阴,寒不处密室之下,与军伍食不异味,居不异适,故庄宗于亲族之中,独加礼遇。庄宗、明宗朝,累历贝、忻、密、澶、隰、相六州刺史。国初,范延光据邺称乱,高祖以庭允累朝宿将,诏为魏府行营中军使兼贝州防御史。城降赏劳,授相州节度使,寻移镇定州。先是,契丹欲以王处直之子威为定州节度使,处直则庭允之叔祖也。处直为养子都所篡,时威北走契丹,契丹纳之。至是契丹遣使谕高祖云:“欲使王威袭先人土地,如我蕃中之制。”高祖答:“以中国将校自刺史、团练、防御使序迁,方授旄节。请遣威至此任用,渐令升进,乃合中土旧规。”契丹深怒其见拒,使人复报曰:“尔自诸侯为天子,有何阶级耶?”高祖畏其滋蔓,则厚赂力拒其命。契丹怒稍息,遂连升庭允,俾镇中山,且欲塞其意也。少帝嗣位,改沧州节度使,累官至检校太尉。开运元年秋,卒于位,年五十四。赠中书令。有子三人,长曰昭敏,仕至金吾将军卒。
