Wang Lingmou (王令謀) (d. October 10, 937〔''Zizhi Tongjian'', vol. 281.〕〔(Academia Sinica Chinese-Western Calendar Converter ).〕) was a close associate of Xu Zhigao (later known as Li Bian), the regent of the Chinese Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period state Wu. As Xu's close associate, Wang served as a chancellor of Wu late in its history, and urged Xu to take over its throne, but died shortly before Xu actually did (founding Southern Tang). == As Xu Zhigao's staff member == It is not known when Wang Lingmou was born or where he was from.〔''Spring and Autumn Annals of the Ten Kingdoms'', (vol. 10 ).〕 As of 912, Xu Zhigao's adoptive father Xu Wen was the regent of Wu. As a result, Xu Zhigao became the prefect of Sheng Prefecture (昇州, in modern Nanjing, Jiangsu), and he built a staff of capable people around him.〔''Zizhi Tongjian'', vol. 268.〕 Wang, at some point, became a guest at his household,〔 and eventually became his secretary. Wang became a key strategist for him, along with Song Qiqiu and Wang Hong (王翃).〔 In 918, by which time Xu Wen was remotely controlling the Wu political scene after stationing himself at Sheng Prefecture, Xu Zhigao was serving as the military prefect (團練使, ''Tuanlianshi'') of Run Prefecture (潤州, in modern Zhenjiang, Jiangsu), while Xu Wen's oldest biological son Xu Zhixùn was serving as junior regent at Wu's capital Guangling. That year, Xu Zhixùn was assassinated by the general Zhu Jin, and as all of Xu Wen's other biological sons were young, Xu Wen had Xu Zhigao take over as junior regent at Guangling. It was apparently at that time that Wang Lingmou became one of the military commanders at Yang Prefecture (揚州, i.e., Guangling). In 919, when then-reigning Prince of Wu, Yang Longyan, took the greater title of King of Wu at Xu Wen's urging, Wang Lingmou was made the director of palace communications (內樞密使, ''Nei Shumishi'').〔''Zizhi Tongjian'', vol. 270.〕 In 927, Xu Wen died. Xu Zhigao subsequently engaged in a power struggle with a younger adoptive brother (Xu Wen's biological son), Xu Zhixún (note different tone than the assassinated brother), as Xu Zhigao controlled the court scene at Guangling, but Xu Zhixún controlled Wu's largest army, then at Sheng Prefecture. Wang continued to provide strategies for Xu Zhigao, and pointed out to him that he needed not to worry about Xu Zhixún, as Xu Zhixún was young and not capable in managing personal relationships with other officials. Not too long after, Xu Zhigao was able to trick Xu Zhixún into coming to Guangling to defend himself against various accusations. Xu Zhigao detained Xu Zhixún and took over his troops, ending Xu Zhixún's challenge to his status as regent.〔''Zizhi Tongjian'', vol. 276.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wang Lingmou」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
