昌平君 / Changping Jun
昌平君 / Changping Jun enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》108-1｜历史敢当面顶撞秦始皇第一人 as one of the Qin figures 嬴政 / 秦始皇 sends against 嫪毐 after Lao Ai’s rebellion begins. The source says the rebel force is defeated around the Xianyang-side fighting, after which Lao Ai flees and is captured.
Qinji 118-1 turns that earlier stub into a source-critical problem. The host says the compact 《资治通鉴》 account records 王翦 and 蒙武 capturing 楚王负刍 in 223 BCE and Changping Jun dying, but leaves many questions unresolved.
The episode then introduces 李开元’s 《秦谜》 reconstruction. As relayed by the host, Changping Jun is Xiong Qi, a son of 楚考烈王 born from a Qin royal woman, with 秦昭襄王 as the maternal-line frame. This makes him a Qin court figure with a Chu royal identity problem rather than only a Qin official.
In that source-scoped reconstruction, Changping Jun’s rebellion at Chenying is also used to explain why 李信’s earlier Chu campaign collapsed after withdrawal. The wiki keeps this as a cited reconstruction, not as an independently settled biography.
Qinji 118-2 pushes the same reconstruction more confidently. It opens with 先秦姓氏身份, using the pre-Qin 姓/氏 distinction to read “熊启” as a Chu royal identity marker, then ties Changping Jun to 华阳夫人, 秦昭襄王, and 楚考烈王 through Qin-Chu marriage politics.
The episode also gives him a fuller late sequence. After the Lao Ai crisis and Lu Buwei’s implication, Changping Jun becomes Qin chancellor, but the host infers that his Chu blood later makes 嬴政 / 秦始皇 distrust him. He is dismissed or displaced, rebels at Chenying during the Chu campaign, is later enthroned by 项燕 as Chu king, and dies when 王翦 and 蒙武 finish the final Chu resistance.
