周王室 / Zhou Royal House
周王室 / Zhou Royal House appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》06丨魏文侯选谁当宰相呢（2） through the transition from 周威烈王 to 周安王. The source places this change around 402 BCE and describes the Zhou capital location in relation to Luoyang and White Horse Temple.
The page’s role is chronological and legitimating: even as the episode moves through powerful states such as 魏国, 燕国, and 楚国, the Zhou kingly sequence still structures the annalistic frame.
《资治通鉴·周纪》07丨两起刺杀（1） adds an internal-fracture branch through 王子定’s flight to 晋国. The source uses the case to explain how Zhou princes and other aristocratic exiles could draw on kinship and noble status outside their home court.
《资治通鉴·周纪》07丨两起刺杀（2） adds the incorporation side of Zhou legitimacy through 宋国 and 微子启: the prior Shang lineage can survive as a ritually honored guest within the Zhou order.
