赵成侯 / Marquis Cheng of Zhao
赵成侯 / Marquis Cheng of Zhao appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》10丨 以家族单位 有蚂蚁吃大象的精神(1) as Zhao Zhong, who succeeds after 赵靖侯 dies in 375 BCE. The source treats this as one of 周烈王’s first-year notices.
The page is source-scoped. Zhao Chenghou matters here because the following fourth-year notice shows 赵国 taking an energetic posture against 魏国 soon after the succession.
《资治通鉴·周纪》10丨 以家族单位 有蚂蚁吃大象的精神(3) adds a later decision during the Wei succession crisis. Zhao Chenghou joins 韩懿侯 against 魏国 and supports a settlement that would kill 魏罃, install 公中缓, and take land. The plan fails when Han prefers partition and withdraws.
《资治通鉴·周纪》17丨韩昭侯和申不害 closes his source arc with his death in 350 BCE. The episode records 公子泄 contesting the succession, losing, and fleeing to 韩国, while the crown prince becomes 赵肃侯.
