Zhí was a son of Kuai, King of Yan. In early years, he was chosen to serve as a political hostage in the Kingdom of Han.
In 314 BC, Yan was attacked and practically conquered by Qi, both Kuai and the usurper Zizhi (子之) were killed. However, Qi was unable to put down the rebellion in Yan area and had to withdraw. Finally, the Yan Kingdom was restored. Zhí was installed as the new king by King Wuling of Zhao, and sent back to Yan.
King Zhao was judicious and measured in his actions toward his subordinates. He hired talents with high salary, these talents include: Yue Yi from Wei, Zou Yan (鄒衍) from Qi, and Ju Xin (劇辛) from Zhao. Yan became a powerful kingdom and was able to take revenge on Qi.
