陈球 / Chen Qiu (late Han)

陈球 was Yongle shaofu in Hanji 918, where he helps push 刘郃 into an anti-曹节 plot.

His argument frames inaction as a betrayal of imperial-clan duty and state responsibility. The episode treats Chen Qiu’s pressure as morally understandable but operationally weak because it does not solve the secrecy problem that Liu He explicitly raises.
