Overview

King Weilie of Zhou (), personal name Ji Wu, was a king of the Chinese Zhou dynasty. His reign started in 425 BC, after his father King Kao had died, and lasted until his death in 402 BC. During King Weilie's reign, he created Han, Wei and Zhao as feudal states separate from Jin, to act as a buffer between his royal domain and Qin (nominally one of his subject states). King Weilie was succeeded by his son, King An.
