公子泄 / Gongzi Xie

公子泄 / Gongzi Xie appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》17丨韩昭侯和申不害 as a Zhao prince who contests the succession after 赵成侯 dies in 350 BCE. He loses to the crown prince, who becomes 赵肃侯, and then flees to 韩国.

The source uses him briefly, but the notice keeps succession conflict visible as one more pressure point in the same years that 秦国 and 魏国 are negotiating and 商鞅变法 is entering its second phase.
