朱延壽，不知何許人。 Zhu Yanshou's origins are unknown.

〈（《九國志》：延壽，廬州舒城人。）〉 (The 《Nine States Chronicle》 says Yanshou came from Shucheng in Luzhou.)〉

唐天祐初，楊行密雄據淮海，時頵為宣州節度使，延壽為壽州刺史。 Early in Tianyou, Yang Xingmi dominated the Huai-Hai region; Yun held Xuancheng and Yanshou held Shou prefecture.

時延壽方守壽春， Yanshou was then holding Shouchun,

〈（《九國志》：天復初，北司擁駕西幸，昭宗聞延壽有武幹，遣李儼間道齎詔授延壽蔡州節度使。）〉 (The 《Nine States Chronicle》 says that early in Tianfu, with the court driven west, Zhaozong heard of Yanshou's ability and sent Li Yan secretly to name him Cai commissioner.)〉

不數月，事微泄，行密乃先以公牒征延壽， Within months the plot leaked; Xingmi summoned Yanshou by official order,

〈（《新唐書》：行密妻，延壽姊也，遣辯士召延壽。 (The 《New Book of Tang》 says Xingmi's wife was Yanshou's sister and sent a persuader to call him.

疑不肯赴，姊遣婢報，故延壽疾走揚州。）〉 Warned by his sister's maid, Yanshou galloped to Yangzhou.)〉

延壽飛騎赴命，邇揚州一舍，行密使人殺之。 Yanshou galloped toward Yangzhou; a stage short of the city, Xingmi's men killed him.

其後，延壽部曲有逸境至者，具言其事。 Later fugitives from Yanshou's command told the full story.

又云：延壽之將行也，其室王氏勉延壽曰：「今若得兵柄，果成大志，是吉凶係乎時，非係於吾家也。 They said that before he left, his wife Lady Wang urged him: "If you win command and your great ambition succeeds, fortune and ruin ride on the times, not on our house.
