赵肃侯 / Marquis Su of Zhao

赵肃侯 / Marquis Su of Zhao appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》17丨韩昭侯和申不害 as the crown prince who succeeds 赵成侯 after the 350 BCE Zhao succession conflict. The source names him after 公子泄 fails in the succession struggle and flees to 韩国.

The page is source-scoped. Zhao Suhou matters here because the episode places succession instability beside Qin-Wei diplomacy and Qin’s second reform round, keeping 赵国 inside the same unstable early Warring States field.

《资治通鉴·周纪》18丨中国历史上第一例人头税 adds an early challenge to Zhao Suhou’s rule. 赵范 attacks 邯郸 in 347 BCE, but the surprise attack fails and Zhao Fan is killed.
