Duke Li succeeded his father Duke Wu of Qi, who died in 825 BC, as ruler of Qi. He was a despotic ruler, and in 816 BC the people of Qi rebelled against him and tried to make the son of Duke Hu of Qi, Duke Li's grand-uncle, 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 people who were responsible for Duke Li's death.[1][2]
