Biography

王敏,单州金乡人。
旧五代史卷一百二十八(周书) 列传八:
  王敏,字待问,单州金乡人。性纯直,少力学攻文,登进士第。后依杜重威,凡历数镇从事。汉初,重威叛于邺,时敏为留守判官,尝泣谏重威,恳请归顺,重威始虽不从,及其穷也,纳敏之言,以其城降。时魏之饥民十犹四五,咸保其余生者,敏之力也。入朝,拜侍御史。世宗镇澶渊,太祖以敏谨厚,遂命为澶州节度判官。及世宗尹正王畿,改开封少尹。世宗嗣位,权知府事,旋拜左谏议大夫、给事中,迁刑部侍郎。敏尝以子婿陈南金荐于曹州节度使李继勋,表为记室,其后继勋偾军于寿春,及归阙而无待罪之礼,世宗以继勋武臣,不之责也,因迁怒南金,谓其裨赞无状,乃黜之。敏由是连坐,遂免其官。岁余,复拜司农卿。显德四年秋,以疾卒。
