Biography

赵延义,秦州人。
新五代史卷五十七 杂传第四十五:
  赵延义,字子英,秦州人也。曾祖省躬通数术,避乱于蜀。父温珪,事蜀王建为司天监,每为建占吉凶,小不中,辄加诘责。温珪临卒,戒其子孙曰:“数术,吾世业,然吾仕乱国,得罪而几死者数矣!子孙能以佗道仕进者,不必为也。”然延义少亦以此仕蜀为司天监。蜀亡,仕唐为星官。延义兼通三式,颇善相人。契丹灭晋,延义随虏至镇州。李筠、白再荣谋逐麻答归汉,犹豫未决,延义假述数术赞成之。周太祖自魏以兵入京师,太祖召延义问:“汉祚短促者,天数邪?”延义言:“王者抚天下,当以仁恩德泽,而汉法深酷,刑罚枉滥,天下称冤,此其所以亡也!”是时,太祖方以兵围苏逢吉、刘铢第,欲诛其族,闻延义言悚然,因贷其族,二家获全。延义事周为太府卿、判司天监,以疾卒。
