赵成 / Zhao Cheng (Li Gu petitioner)

Overview

赵成 / Zhao Cheng is the Henei petitioner in Hanji 830 who joins dozens of others carrying punishment gear to the palace gate for 李固. The page uses a semantic suffix to keep him distinct from the existing Qin and Warring States Zhao Cheng pages.

Current Profile

Hanji 830 gives Zhao Cheng a collective-action role rather than a full independent biography. He appears as a Henei man among several dozen people who make Li Gu’s imprisonment public by presenting themselves at the palace gate under symbols of severe punishment.

This pressure combines with 王调’s student petition and moves 梁妠 / 梁太后 to release Li Gu. The success is temporary because 梁冀 renews the accusation and Li Gu later dies in prison.

Key Characteristics

• Henei petitioner tied to the public defense of Li Gu.
• Acts collectively with dozens of others rather than as a lone court official.
• Uses punishment gear at the palace gate to make injustice visible.
• Helps produce Li Gu’s temporary release.
• Requires disambiguation from unrelated Zhao Cheng identities already in the wiki.

Evidence

• Collective petition: Hanji 830 names Henei man Zhao Cheng among dozens who carry punishment gear to the palace gate for Li Gu.
• Release pressure: Hanji 830 says Liang Na is moved by the petitioning and releases Li Gu.
• Bounded success: Hanji 830 then shows Liang Ji renewing the accusation, making the release a temporary victory.

Qualifications

This page is source-bounded and does not identify Zhao Cheng beyond the Henei petition scene. He is distinct from 赵成 / Zhao Cheng (Qin), 赵成 / Zhao Cheng (Warring States), and 赵成侯 / Marquis Cheng of Zhao.

What Changed

• Created a disambiguated late-Han Zhao Cheng page for the Li Gu palace-gate petition.

• 王调 - parallel petitioner whose student appeal combines with the palace-gate action.
• 梁妠 / 梁太后 - dowager whose temporary release order follows the petition pressure.
• 梁冀 - powerholder whose renewed accusation later reverses the petition’s practical success.
• 赵成 / Zhao Cheng (Qin) - unrelated same-name page requiring disambiguation.
