Biography

王都,中山陉邑人。
旧五代史卷五十四(唐书) 列传六:
  王都,本姓刘,小字云郎,中山陉邑人也。初,有妖人李应之得于村落间,养为己子。及处直有疾,应之以左道医之,不久病间,处直神之,待为羽人。始假幕职,出入无间,渐署为行军司马,军府之事,咸取决焉。处直时未有子,应之以都遗于处直曰:“此子生而有异。”因是都得为处直之子。其后应之阅白丁于管内,别置新军,起第于博陵坊,面开一门,动皆鬼道。处直信重日隆,将校相虑,变在朝夕,谋先事为祸。会燕师假道,伏甲于外城,以备为不虞,昧旦入郭,诸校因引军以围其第,应之死于乱兵,咸云不见其尸,众不解甲。乃逼牙帐请杀都,处直坚靳之,久乃得免。翼日赏劳,籍其兵于卧内,自队长已上记于别簿,渐以他事孥戮。迨二十年,别簿之记,略无孑遗。都既成长,总其兵柄,奸诈巧佞,生而知之。处直爱养,渐有付托之意,时处直诸子尚幼,乃以都为节度副大使。
