Lord Changping (昌平君; died 223 BC) was a general and lord of Qin, but later seceded from Qin and died as the last king of Chu (224–223 BC) in the last days of the Warring States period of ancient China.〔Records of the Grand Historian, Vol. 6: Annals of Qin Shi Huang. ()〕 ==Accounts in the Records of the Grand Historian== The deeds of Lord Changping was mainly recorded in Vol. 6: ''Annals of Qin Shi Huang'' of the ''Records of the Grand Historian''. In 238 BC, in the State of Qin, a pseudo-eunuch Lao Ai became intimate with Queen Dowager Zhao and plotted against King Zheng of Qin (who would later ascend to Shi Huang, the First Emperor): The king found out this fact and ordered the chancellor (Lü Buwei) to let Lord Changping and Lord Changwen lead soldiers and attack Lao Ai. They battled at Xianyang (the capital of Qin) and killed hundreds (the rebels ). (this deed, ) they all received the peerage. Also, all eunuchs who battled (Lao Ai ) received one higher peerage than before.〔Annals of Qin Shi Huang, the 9th year of Qin Shi Huang. 王知之，令相國昌平君、昌文君發卒攻毐。戰咸陽，斬首數百，皆拜爵，及宦者皆在戰中，亦拜爵一級。〕 Although Lao Ai fled from this battle, he was ultimately captured and executed. In 226 BC, Lord Changping moved to Ying (the capital of Chu).〔Annals of Qin Shi Huang, the 21st year of Qin Shi Huang. 昌平君徙於郢。〕 In 224 BC, King Zheng of Qin ordered Wang Jian to conquer Chu, and he captured its king (Fuchu) and capital. The remnants, however, continued to resist by adopting Lord Changping as their new king:
To the contrary, Vol. 40: ''House of Chu'' records Fuchu as the last king of Chu and does not mention Lord Changping. Furthermore, the order of events is utterly reversed compared to the accounts in Vol. 6; the army of Qin killed General Xiang Yan in 224 BC and then captured Fuchu in 223 BC.〔(Records of the Grand Historian, Vol. 40: House of Chu )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lord Changping」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
