Duke Li of Qi (Chinese: 齊厲公; pinyin: Qí Lì Gōng), personal name Lü Wuji, was duke of the Qi state from 824 BC to 816 BC.[1][2]
Duke Li succeeded his father Duke Wu, to the throne of Qi. He was a despotic ruler, and in 816 BC the people of Qi rebelled against him and attempted to install the son of Duke Hu (Duke Li's grand-uncle) as the new ruler. Duke Li was killed by the rebels, but Duke Hu's son also died in the fighting. Subsequently, Duke Li's son, Duke Wen, ascended the throne, and executed 70 individuals who were responsible for Duke Li's death.[1][2]
