赵平君 / Zhao Pingjun

Overview

赵平君 / Zhao Pingjun enters the wiki through Hanji 392-1 as a Western Han royal relative whose crime tests whether 汉武帝 will let kinship override law.

Current Profile

Zhao Pingjun is presented as the only son of 隆虑公主 and 陈蟜 / 陈娇. Because he marries 夷安公主, he is both Han Wudi’s nephew and son-in-law. That double tie makes his prosecution more than an ordinary criminal case.

The episode says Longlü Princess tried to protect him before her death by paying a large sum and asking Wudi to spare him if he later committed a capital offense. After her death, Zhao Pingjun becomes more arrogant and drunkenly kills an attendant. Wudi approves the execution despite weeping over his sister’s request, and the source uses the result to show both legal severity and the danger of indulgent protection.

Key Characteristics

• Western Han royal relative protected by close maternal and marital ties to Han Wudi.
• Only son whose mother’s deathbed arrangement creates the appearance of a purchased exemption.
• Source case for kinship privilege failing when the ruler chooses ancestral law and public legitimacy.
• Family-education warning figure because the episode links his arrogance to long-term lack of discipline.

Evidence

• Royal kinship position: Hanji 392-1 says Zhao Pingjun is Longlü Princess’s only son and Han Wudi’s nephew.
• Marriage tie: Hanji 392-1 says he marries Wudi’s daughter Yian Princess, making him also Wudi’s son-in-law.
• Capital case: Hanji 392-1 says he drunkenly kills a princess attendant and is executed after Wudi rejects kinship-based pardon.

Qualifications

This is a narrow source-scoped profile, not a full biography. The transcript appears to contain several ASR name variants, so the page records the normalized historical identity only for this episode’s legible kinship and legal pattern.

What Changed
