王绾 / Wang Wan (Qin)

王绾 / Wang Wan (Qin) enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·周纪》89丨秦王竟被他怼“妈宝男”? as the likely identity behind the episode’s “武大夫绾” notice. In 268 BCE, 秦昭襄王 sends Wudafu Wan to attack 魏国 and take Huai.

The host suggests this figure may be the later Qin minister Wang Wan, implying a possible career path from mid-ranking military command to higher civil office. The page records that as a source-scoped inference; it does not merge him with the existing modern author page 王婉 / Wang Wan.

《资治通鉴·秦纪》120-2|秦朝第一套VI设计理念 adds the clearer later-minister role. In the episode’s post-unification discussion, Wang Wan appears with 李斯 in the court deliberation over using “朕” as 嬴政 / 秦始皇’s exclusive self-reference. His source role therefore shifts from a possible earlier campaign notice to a named participant in Qin’s imperial-language standardization.

《资治通鉴·秦纪》120-3|揭秘秦始皇为何发明郡县制 makes Wang Wan the advocate for limited post-unification enfeoffment. As chancellor, he argues that former 燕国, 齐国, and 楚国 territory is too distant from 咸阳 to hold securely without placing imperial sons there. The page records the argument as a serious distance-and-control proposal, even though the source ultimately sides with Li Si’s anti-enfeoffment answer.
