赵章 / Zhao Zhang
赵章 / Zhao Zhang appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》57丨古代发毒誓还有这作用？ as 赵武灵王’s earlier legitimate eldest son by a Han princess. The episode introduces him only briefly, but the mention is loaded: Zhao Wuling Wang’s later affection for 吴娃 and her son 赵何 creates the succession fault line the host says will eventually lead to Zhao Wuling Wang’s starvation death.
Zhao Zhang’s page therefore anchors the displaced-elder-son side of the future Zhao conflict. The source is not yet the full story of that conflict, so this page keeps the claim narrow.
《资治通鉴·周纪》66丨中国历史上哪些帝王是被活活饿死的（1） turns that displaced position into an organized base. Zhao Wuling Wang makes Zhao Zhang Anyang Jun in the Dai region and gives him 田不李 as a chancellor-like helper, while 李兑 warns that Zhao Zhang’s strength, arrogance, followers, and resentment make him dangerous. The episode also shows Zhao Wuling Wang pained by watching the elder brother bow to 赵何, which pushes the father toward a rejected plan to split Zhao and toward the Shaqiu setup.
《资治通鉴·周纪》66丨中国历史上哪些帝王是被活活饿死的（2） narrates Zhao Zhang’s move from danger to failed coup. He forges a summons in Zhao Wuling Wang’s name, kills 肥义 when Fei Yi exposes the trap, and attacks Zhao He. After 高信, Zhao He, 赵成, and 李兑 defeat his side, Zhao Zhang flees to Zhao Wuling Wang’s quarters and is killed there by Zhao Cheng and Li Dui.
