赵迁 / 赵幽缪王 / Zhao Youmiu Wang
赵迁 / 赵幽缪王 / Zhao Youmiu Wang enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》111-1｜偌大的赵国竟亡于一个妓女之手 as the son who succeeds 赵道襄王 in 236 BCE while 赵国 is being hit by 秦国.
The source presents his accession as an internal-disorder counterpart to the external campaign. Zhao Daoxiang Wang had displaced the original crown prince 赵嘉 and made Zhao Qian heir because of his attachment to Zhao Qian’s mother, whom the episode identifies as a woman of sex-worker background. The host says Zhao Qian’s bad conduct was already known in Handan, so his accession makes Zhao’s survival problem more severe.
This page is source-scoped. The episode does not narrate the full later fall of Zhao; it marks Zhao Qian’s succession as the moment when weak-state infighting, Qin opportunity, and a damaged heir structure begin to converge.
《资治通鉴·秦纪》113｜李牧如何用一己之力阻秦国统一 carries that convergence into the 229 BCE Zhao-front disaster. After earthquake, famine, and Qin psychological operations weaken Zhao, Zhao Qian listens to 郭开’s bribed accusation that 李牧 and 司马尚 are plotting rebellion. His decision to replace them with 赵葱 and 颜聚 turns the earlier succession warning into a direct command failure.
《资治通鉴·秦纪》114-1｜今天聊聊 嬴政都有哪些残忍手段 gives Zhao Qian’s endpoint in the source sequence. After 王翦 defeats the remaining Zhao force and captures 邯郸, Zhao Qian is taken alive and sent away to Fangling; the episode cites 《淮南子》 for his homesick singing after exile. The host also treats his survival as politically useful to Qin because a living captured Zhao king weakens 赵嘉’s ability to claim the Zhao royal title.
《资治通鉴·秦纪》120-1｜谁是皇帝中的妈宝男？ places Zhao Qian’s fall inside Qin’s founding narrative. Qin’s explanation says Zhao violated agreements and caused trouble around Taiyuan, while the later Dai branch becomes further evidence that Zhao resistance had to be punished. This page keeps that as part of 兼并自卫叙事, adjacent to but distinct from the earlier capture-and-exile account.
