Biography

赵昶(843年—895年),字大东,唐朝陈州人,赵犨的二弟。

赵昶少习兵事,沉厚有度,临事通变。赵犨为陈州刺史,以赵昶为防御都指挥使。黄巢部将孟楷率领万余众据项城县,赵昶与赵犨领兵击破,擒获孟楷。数月后,黄巢军攻陈州,以报孟楷之仇。一天晚上,赵昶在城墙上巡视打盹,恍惚如有人暗助,赵昶等待。黎明,开门决战,人心兵势,勇不可遏。当天,擒获敌将数人,斩首千余级。其后连日交战,无不顺利,未尝小败,重围数月,军心如一。敌败围解,朝廷纪勋,当时方镇之内,以忠勇、守御、功勋、政事,赵犨、赵昶为第一。赵犨遥领泰宁军节度使,赵昶为陈州刺史、检校尚书右仆射。赵犨得病,以军州尽付赵昶。唐昭宗授其为兵马留后,升任忠武军节度使,以陈州为治所。当时秦宗权未灭,陈州、蔡州相连,赵昶每选精锐,深入蔡州。朝廷加授检校司徒。赵昶留心政事,劝课农桑。景福元年(892年)秋,陈州、许州将吏耆老将他的功劳表奏天子,皇帝命文臣撰写德政碑立于道路,以表彰其功。加同中书门下平章事。赵昶自解围之后,说:“不敢忘梁王之恩。”之后朱温有征伐,赵昶训练兵士,运送军需,无所不至。乾宁二年(895年)得病,在陈州去世,终年五十三岁,追赠太尉。其弟趙珝代立。
