吕不韦列传：秦昭王五十年，使王齮围邯郸，急，赵欲杀子楚。子楚与吕不韦谋，行金六百斤予守者吏，得脱，亡赴秦军，遂以得归。赵欲杀子楚妻子，子楚夫人赵豪家女也，得匿，以故母子竟得活。
Biography of Lü Buwei: In the fiftieth year1 of King Zhao of Qin, he sent Wang Yi to besiege Handan. As the siege grew pressing, Zhao wished to kill Zichu2. Zichu plotted with Lü Buwei, and by giving six hundred jin of gold to the officers who guarded him he got free, fled to the Qin army, and so was able to return. Zhao wished to kill Zichu's wife and child, but Zichu's wife was the daughter of a great house of Zhao and was able to hide, and so mother and child in the end came out alive.
