李开元 / Li Kaiyuan

李开元 / Li Kaiyuan enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》118-1｜王翦率六十万大军 对战项燕！好戏开场了！ as the modern historian whose 《秦谜》 is cited for a reconstruction of the late Qin-Chu conflict around 昌平君.

The episode uses Li Kaiyuan after noting that 《资治通鉴》 gives a very compact version of the 224-223 BCE Chu campaign. In the host’s summary, Li Kaiyuan starts from source tensions and reconstructs Changping Jun as Xiong Qi, a son of 楚考烈王 born from a Qin royal woman while Mi Wan was hostage in Qin.

This page records Li Kaiyuan’s role only as the source-cited historian behind that reconstruction. It does not independently verify the whole Qin Mi argument.
