Information about King Li Of Zhou

King Li of Zhou (d. 841 BC) (Simplified Chinese: 周厉王; Traditional Chinese: 周厲王; pinyin:Zhōu Lìwáng) was the tenth sovereign of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty.

King Li was a corrupt and decadent king. To pay for his pleasures and vices, King Li raised taxes and caused misery among his subjects. He made a new law that allowed him to punish anyone who dared to speak against himself by death. King Li's bad rule soon forced many peasants and soldiers into revolt, and Li was forced into hiding. His son was taken by one of King Li's ministers and hidden. The angry mob couldn't find the prince and soon dispersed.

The officials elected Gong Bo He as regent, and Gong Bo He ruled for two years before the prince was revealed as the heir to the throne.
