Li Linfu
Li Linfu () (died January 3, 753), nickname Genu (), formally the Duke of Jin (), was an official of the Chinese Tang Dynasty, serving as a chancellor for 18 years (734–752), during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong—one of the longest terms of service for a chancellor in Tang history, and the longest during Xuanzong's reign.
Li Gu (Later Zhou)
In 929 — which was during the reign of the Later Tang emperor Li Siyuan — Li Gu passed the imperial examinations in the "Jinshi" class. He subsequently successively served as a secretary to the prefects of Hua (華州, in modern Weinan, Shaanxi) and Tai (泰州, may be in modern Yuncheng, Shanxi) Prefectures. (However, historical accounts also, inconsistently, already gave him the title of "Jinshi" as of 926 — as, that year, he was recorded to have helped a friend, Han Xizai, in fleeing to Later Tang's southeastern neighbor Wu after Han's father was caught up in a rebellion and executed. It was said that Li accompanied Han to the two states' border post Zhengyang (正陽, on the border of modern Fuyang and Lu'an, Anhui), on the Huai River, to send him off. They drank together before parting with each other. At that time, Han made the comment, "If Wu makes me a chancellor, I will surely invade and conquer the Central Plains." Li laughed and responded, "If the Central Plains makes me a chancellor, for me to take Wu would be as easy as taking something out of a sack." Han then entered Wu realm.
