Biography
阎晋卿，忻州人。
旧五代史卷一百七（汉书） 列传四：
阎晋卿者，忻州人也。家世富豪，少仕并门，历职至客将，高祖在镇，颇见信用。乾祐中，历阁门使，判四方馆。未几，关西乱，郭从义讨赵思绾于京兆，晋卿偏师以攻贼垒。（《宋史·李韬传》：周祖征三叛，韬从白文珂攻河中，兵傅其城。文珂夜诣周祖议犒军，留韬城下。时营栅未备，李守贞乘虚来袭，营中忽见火发，知贼骤至，惶怖失据。客省使阎晋卿率左右数十人，遇韬于月城侧，谓韬曰：“事急矣。城中人悉被黄纸甲，为火光所照，色俱白，此殊易辨，奈军士无斗志何！”韬愤怒曰：“岂有食君禄而不为国致死耶！”即援槊而进，军中死士十余辈，随韬犯贼锋。蒲有猛将，跃马持戈拟韬，韬刺之，洞胸而坠，又连杀数十人，蒲军遂溃，因击大破之。）贼平，为内客省使，丁父忧，起复前职。时宣徽使阙，晋卿以职次事望，合当其任，既而久稽拜命，晋卿颇怨执政。会李业等谋杀杨、史，诏晋卿谋之。晋卿退诣宏肇，将告其事，宏肇不见。晋卿忧事不果，夜悬高祖御容于中堂，泣祷于前，迟明戎服入朝。内难既作，以晋卿权侍卫马军都指挥使。北郊兵败，晋卿乃自杀于家。
