秦出公 / Qin Chugong

秦出公 / Qin Chugong appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》08丨一代名将吴起惨死(2) as 秦惠公’s son and successor after Qin Hui Gong dies in 387 BCE. The episode presents him as a tragic accession figure: he inherits the throne, but the host says he will be killed in a coup a few years later, along with his mother.

The page is source-scoped. It records the episode’s Qin succession notice without expanding into a full biography.

《资治通鉴·周纪》08丨一代名将吴起惨死(3) supplies that coup. In 385 BCE, shuzhang Gai brings 秦献公 back from exile, installs him as ruler, and kills Qin Chugong and his mother. The episode explains the coup through the instability of a child ruler, palace regency, eunuch influence, and a returning royal with a plausible succession claim.
