Biography
王延翰。
新五代史卷六十八 闽世家第八：
延翰字子逸，审知长子也。同光四年，唐拜延翰节度使。是岁，庄宗遇弑，中国多故，延翰乃取司马迁《史记》闽越王无诸传示其将吏曰：“闽，自古王国也，吾今不王，何待之有？”于是军府将吏上书劝进。十月，延翰建国称王，而犹禀唐正朔。
延翰为人长大，美皙如玉，其妻崔氏陋而淫，延翰不能制。审知丧未期，彻其几筵，又多选良家子为妾。崔氏性妒，良家子之美者，辄幽之别室，系以大械，刻木为人手以击颊，又以铁锥刺之，一岁中死者八十四人。崔氏后病，见以为祟而卒。
审知养子建州刺史延禀，本姓周氏，自审知时与延翰不叶。延翰立，以其弟延钧为泉州刺史，延钧怒。二人因谋作乱。十二月，延禀、延钧皆以兵入，执延翰杀之。而延钧立，更名鏻。
