周赧王 / Zhou Nan Wang

周赧王 / Zhou Nan Wang appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》45｜以史为鉴，君王到底该不该杀人成性？ as part of the show’s 周纪三 frame. The episode says this section covers twenty-three years from 320 to 298 BCE, including six years of 周慎靓王 and the first seventeen years of Zhou Nan Wang.

《资治通鉴·周纪》48丨君王为啥不能传位宰相 gives the accession handoff directly: 周慎靓王 dies in 315 BCE, and Zhou Nan Wang succeeds before the chronicle turns to his first-year, 314 BCE notices. The source also previews him as the final Zhou Son of Heaven whose later debt-funded anti-Qin attempt becomes 债台高筑.

The source does not yet develop his reign as a personal story. His wiki role is chronological: he marks the next stage of the reduced 周王室 annalistic frame while the real political action continues among Qin, Wei, Qi, Chu, Han, Zhao, Yan, and Song.

《资治通鉴·周纪》49丨孟子曰：我教你治国 你却把我当花瓶 locates the episode’s opening in Zhou Nan Wang’s first year, 314 BCE. As in Zhouji 45, the Zhou king is a chronological frame while the substance is the 齐国 conquest of 燕国 and 孟子 / Mencius’s advice to 齐宣王.

《资治通鉴·周纪》50丨张仪是怎样把楚怀王忽悠瘸的 locates the next episode in Zhou Nan Wang’s second year, 313 BCE. The Zhou king again functions as annalistic frame while 秦国 acts through 樗里子 against 赵国 and through 张仪 against the 齐国-楚国 alliance.

《资治通鉴·周纪》52丨 陈庄叛秦 端起碗吃饭放下碗骂娘 extends the same frame into Zhou Nan Wang’s fourth year. The Zhou king remains annalistic backdrop while the episode follows 燕昭王’s recovery politics, records 韩宣惠王 / 韩惠王’s death and 韩襄王’s succession, and turns 陈庄’s killing of 蜀侯宁通 into a Qin southwestern governance problem.

《资治通鉴·周纪》53丨秦惠王用张仪换地皮 remains in the same 311 BCE neighborhood. The Zhou king again functions as chronological frame while 秦惠文王, 楚怀王, and 张仪 turn the Qin-Chu conflict from battlefield aftermath into a land-for-person bargaining and envoy-risk problem around 黔中.

《资治通鉴·周纪》54丨我尊你是王，你当我是屁 continues Zhou Nan Wang’s fourth-year frame in 311 BCE. The Zhou king remains annalistic backdrop while Zhang Yi tours Han, Qi, Zhao, and Yan for Qin, and while 秦惠文王’s death shifts the branch toward 秦武王 and Zhang Yi’s 靠山更替暴露风险.

《资治通鉴·周纪》56丨 瞧瞧两千多年前啥是大丈夫 places the ethical reassessment of persuaders in Zhou Nan Wang’s fifth year, 310 BCE. The Zhou king again remains chronological frame while the episode moves from 张仪’s completed career to 孟子 / Mencius’s 大丈夫标准 and 扬雄’s critique of zonghengjia motive.

《资治通鉴·周纪》57丨古代发毒誓还有这作用？ continues that fifth-year frame and then moves into the sixth and seventh years, 309-308 BCE. The Zhou king remains background while 秦武王 suppresses 陈庄, meets 魏襄王, sets 樗里疾 / 樗里子 and 甘茂 as left/right chancellors, and prepares the 宜阳 campaign through an oath with Gan Mao.

《资治通鉴·周纪》58丨赵武灵王如何打造强国 locates its main notices in Zhou Nan Wang’s eighth year, 307 BCE. The Zhou king remains the annalistic frame while Gan Mao takes 宜阳, 秦武王 dies in the Zhou capital setting after the ding-lifting episode, and 赵武灵王 begins 胡服骑射 against elite resistance.

《资治通鉴·周纪》60丨 中国第一位把持朝政的太后竟是她？ locates its notices in Zhou Nan Wang’s tenth through thirteenth years, 305-302 BCE. The Zhou king again remains chronological frame while 赵武灵王 presses 中山国, 芈八子 / 宣太后 and 魏冉 consolidate 秦昭襄王’s court, Qin and Chu repair through marriage and the 黄棘 meeting, and the 芈横 hostage incident flips Qin back toward Han and Wei.

《资治通鉴·周纪》61丨谁是历史上胆儿最肥的帝王？ moves the frame into Zhou Nan Wang’s fourteenth through sixteenth years, 301-299 BCE. The Zhou king remains annalistic backdrop while Qin, Han, Wei, and Qi attack Chu, 齐宣王 dies and 齐湣王 succeeds, the Qin chancellor sequence after 樗里疾 / 樗里子 is corrected through 编年错位, and 赵武灵王 gives the throne to 赵何 before personally scouting 秦国.

《资治通鉴·周纪》62丨稷儿，诓你舅舅的“腿”啊 stays in the 299 BCE portion of that frame. Zhou Nan Wang again remains a date marker while 秦昭襄王 traps 楚怀王 at 武关, 楚国 negotiates the return of 芈横 / 楚顷襄王 from 齐国, and 孟尝君 / 田文 is set up to enter Qin as chancellor.

The episode then previews 周纪四, covering 297-273 BCE.

《资治通鉴·周纪》65丨我穿越去给浪漫的楚王念首诗 opens that 周纪四 frame with Zhou Nan Wang’s eighteenth and nineteenth years, 297-296 BCE. The Zhou king remains annalistic backdrop while 楚怀王 fails to escape Qin and dies in captivity, five states attack Qin to 阏氏, 秦国 returns 武遂 and 封陵 to split the pressure, 赵武灵王 recruits 楼烦 fighters, and Lu, Wei, and Han move through succession notices.

《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） continues into Zhou Nan Wang’s twentieth year, 295 BCE. The Zhou king remains the date marker while 司马错 attacks 魏国, 秦国 replaces 楼缓 with 魏冉, 赵武灵王 finishes 中山国, and Zhao’s post-abdication succession arrangement moves toward 沙丘之变.

《资治通鉴·周纪》67丨战国“灭霸”白起的军事才能究竟如何 covers Zhou Nan Wang’s twenty-first through twenty-fifth years, 294-290 BCE. The Zhou king remains annalistic frame while Qin defeats Wei at Xiecheng, 白起 wins the 伊阙之战, Qin threatens Chu into a renewed marriage settlement, 魏冉 resigns and returns, 垣郡 and 陶 / 定陶 require source-critical territorial timing, and 芒卯 enters as an ambiguous Wei persuader.

The episode closes by turning the event back into 司马光’s “资治” purpose through 荀子.

《资治通鉴·周纪》71丨荀子的性本恶论 remains in the same thirty-first-year, 284 BCE aftermath. Zhou Nan Wang is again only the chronological frame while the source unpacks 司马光’s 荀子 quotation into 荀子王霸三分法 and then turns toward 乐毅’s search for a worthy person in the devastated Qi field.

《资治通鉴·周纪》76丨谁给了楚顷襄王的自信？ moves Zhou Nan Wang into his thirty-third and thirty-fourth years, 282-281 BCE.

《资治通鉴·周纪》83丨诸侯摆烂竟成了经典计中计？ moves the frame into Zhou Nan Wang’s forty-first and forty-second years. The king remains the annalistic date marker while 魏安釐王 tries a weak 合纵 posture with 齐国, 魏国 and 赵国 attack 韩国 at 华阳之战, Han draws in Qin through 投敌威胁式求援, and 韩釐王 dies before 韩桓惠王 succeeds.

《资治通鉴·周纪》85｜宣太后为何私通30年后暗杀了老情人？ opens the 周纪五 frame in Zhou Nan Wang’s forty-third year, 272 BCE, and previews the section’s final seventeen-year span. Zhou Nan Wang remains the chronological marker while 黄歇 / 春申君 accompanies the Chu crown prince into Qin, 燕国 suffers coup and attack, and 芈八子 / 宣太后’s killing of the 义渠 king leads to Qin’s 北地郡.

《资治通鉴·周纪》86丨历史上靠收租的将军竟然是他？ moves the frame to Zhou Nan Wang’s forty-fourth year, around 271 BCE. Zhou Nan Wang remains the annalistic marker while 赵国’s narrative shifts from 蔺相如 and 廉颇 war notices toward 赵奢’s tax-enforcement story and 贵族税法同遵.

《资治通鉴·周纪》87丨“狭路相逢勇者胜”终于找到出处了！ moves the frame to Zhou Nan Wang’s forty-fifth year, 270 BCE. Zhou Nan Wang again remains the date marker while 秦国 attacks 赵国 at 阏与 / 燕宇之战, 赵奢 wins the rescue campaign, and the episode pivots toward 范雎’s coming humiliation-and-rise branch.

《资治通鉴·周纪》89丨秦王竟被他怼“妈宝男”？ moves the frame through Zhou Nan Wang’s forty-sixth to forty-ninth years, 269-266 BCE. The king remains the annalistic marker while 秦国 attacks Zhao and Wei, 秦悼太子 dies in 魏国, 安国君柱 later becomes crown prince, and 范雎 shifts from 远交近攻 to a direct attack on 秦国四贵权力结构.

《资治通鉴·周纪》92丨历史上第一位著名舔狗是谁？（1） moves the frame to Zhou Nan Wang’s fifty-first and fifty-second years, 264-263 BCE. Zhou Nan Wang remains a date marker while 白起 attacks 韩国, 范雎 applies 远交近攻 through 交通线切割, renewed 合纵 activity in 赵国 is broken by money, and 黄歇 / 春申君 begins the 太子完 hostage-return crisis.

《资治通鉴·周纪》93丨在梦里藏着偷天改命？（1） moves the frame to Zhou Nan Wang’s fifty-third year, 262 BCE. Zhou Nan Wang remains the annalistic marker while 楚考烈王 begins with a land concession to 秦国, 冯亭 offers 上党 to 赵国, and 赵丹 / 赵孝成王 faces the 无故之利 / 利令智昏 problem.

《资治通鉴·周纪》94丨杀神白起，长平之战中的“草包”名将？（1） moves the frame to Zhou Nan Wang’s fifty-fifth year, 260 BCE. Zhou Nan Wang remains the date marker while the 长平之战 branch advances from Shangdang acceptance to Zhao’s failed peace signaling, 廉颇’s defensive posture, 范雎’s rumor operation, 赵括’s appointment, and Qin’s secret installation of 白起 over 王龁.

《资治通鉴·周纪》95丨长平之战后秦国为什么没有灭了赵国（1） moves the frame to Zhou Nan Wang’s fifty-sixth year, 259 BCE. Zhou Nan Wang remains the date marker while 秦国 tries to press post-Changping advantage through 王龁 and 司马梗, 韩国 and 魏国 send 苏代 to lobby 范雎, and Qin pauses after receiving land from Han and 赵国.

《资治通鉴·周纪》98丨历史上首个老赖登场了！ finally makes Zhou Nan Wang a direct actor rather than a date marker. In his fifty-ninth year, 256 BCE, 楚考烈王 and 黄歇 / 春申君 appeal to his residual Son of Heaven status for an anti-秦国 合纵 push. Zhou Nan Wang borrows from wealthy households to fund troops, but the thin coalition collapses and he becomes the episode’s 债台高筑 case.

The same source ends his branch. 秦昭襄王 forces him to apologize and surrender cities and people, 西周国 is extinguished, and Zhou Nan Wang dies at 洛邑 / 洛阳. The episode therefore turns Zhou Nan Wang from a long-running annalistic frame into the failed final holder of the 周王室’s nominal authority.
