Zhao Yingqi was the eldest son of King Zhao Mo of Nanyue. During his father’s reign, King Ying (郢) of Minyue invaded Nanyue in 135 BC. Zhao Mo sent a mission to Han Dynasty for help. So Emperor Wu of Han sent a troop to attack Minyue. Under the pressure of Han Dynasty, Yushan (余善), a brother of Ying, killed Ying and surrendered to Han Dynasty. To thank the help of Emperor Wu, Zhao Mo sent his Crown Prince Zhao Yingqi to Han court as Emperor’s guard (宿衛, Sù wèi).
