When Zhou Weilie was king, he was listed as a vassal.

■ Appendix: Interesting stories of Zhao's allusions
Act alone
"Go your own way" originated from Biography of Historical Records and Zhang Tang.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were two officials, one was Zhao Yu and the other was Zhang Tang. Both of them are good friends in Jiuqing, but their ways of dealing with people are quite different. Zhang Tang is cunning and changeable, and Yu Zhaozhong is honest. After Zhao Yu became an official, he didn't attract any diners. Even when a minister visited him, he refused, and when he was asked to do something, he refused. Therefore, people call him "withdrawn", that is, he insists on doing things according to his own wishes.
Later, people simplified "doing things in isolation" to "going its own way" to show that when doing things, we should handle them according to our own opinions and reject others' opinions. Now it is used to describe not listening to others' opinions and stubbornly acting arbitrarily according to one's own wishes.
[Profit obscures wisdom]
"Lust for profit" originated from Ping Yuanjun's Historical Records Biography of Yu Qing.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin attacked South Korea. In a few days, he captured the wild king of South Korea and cut off the traffic to Shangdang. As a result, Shangdang City was isolated and was about to fall. Feng Ting, the commander of Shangdang, thought Shangdang would die when he saw that the wild king had surrendered. Instead of letting Qin take the party, it is better to give it to Zhao, and let South Korea unite with Zhao to resist Qin's aggression.
When Feng Ting sent someone to take Shangdang's map to Cheng Xiao in Zhao Haoqi, the prince of Zhao was in a dilemma. He didn't know what to do, so he called the adults to discuss. One of them was Zhao Bao, who advised Zhao Wang not to accept it, because if he accepted something from others for no reason, it would cause disaster. The reason why South Korea dedicated Shangdang to Zhao Guo was to make Qin State point the finger at Zhao Guo. But the king of Zhao disagreed, so he discussed with the former king of peace, Zhao Sheng. Ping Yuanjun thought that even if he sent millions of troops, he might not be able to capture the ideal city year after year, but now he can get the place to take the party without paying a single soldier, and he will not miss the opportunity.
The prince of Zhao was very happy at Ping Yuanjun's words, so he sent Ping Yuanjun to Shangdang to accept the land and appointed Feng Ting as Hua Yangjun. But not long after, disaster befell Zhao. Seeing that the land he was about to acquire was occupied by Zhao, Qin turned to attack Zhao. Zhao sent Zhao Kuo, an armchair strategist, to fight. As a result, the battle was defeated, and the State of Qin wiped out more than 400,000 soldiers of Zhao in the Tiger of Changping.
When evaluating this matter, Sima Qian thought that Ping Yuanjun was a son whose behavior was higher than that of ordinary secular disciples, but he didn't understand the truth of "being blinded by profit". Using this thing can make smart people get carried away and lose their minds. I was drooling over the lure, so that Zhao lost more than 400,000 people in Changping, and almost even Handan, the capital of Zhao, was lost.
Later, people used "greed for profit" to describe losing their minds because of greed for profit.
Call a deer a horse.
"Calling a deer a horse" originated from Historical Records.
When Qin Shihuang died, eunuch Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, the 18th son of the first emperor, colluded with each other, falsely passed the imperial edict, forcing Fu Su, the eldest son who should have succeeded to the throne, to step down, and Hu Change Hai succeeded to the throne. Hu Hai became emperor and was called Qin Ershi. Because Zhao Gao made great efforts to help Hu Hai proclaimed himself, Hu Hai worshipped Zhao Gao as prime minister. Zhao Gao was not satisfied when he became prime minister, and planned to usurp the throne, but he was afraid of opposition from his ministers and wanted to try his prestige first. One day, when Zhao Gao went to see Qin Ershi, he specially asked someone to take a deer to Qin Ershi, pointing to the deer in front of all the ministers and saying, "This is a horse." Qin Ershi said with a smile, "The Prime Minister made a mistake and called the deer a horse." Zhao Gao ignored him and asked the minister loudly, "Is this a horse or a deer?" Some ministers were afraid that Zhao Gao was afraid to speak, some bluntly called it a deer, and some distorted the fact that it was a horse, in order to plan Zhao Gao well. After that, everyone who told the truth was killed by Zhao Gao.
Later, according to this story, people summed up the idiom "refer to a deer as a horse", which is used to mean deliberately reversing black and white and confusing right and wrong.
