齐威王 / King Wei of Qi

齐威王 / King Wei of Qi appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》10丨 以家族单位 有蚂蚁吃大象的精神(2) in two linked ways. First, the episode quotes 《资治通鉴》 saying he comes to the Zhou court and gains a reputation for virtue. Second, it immediately questions the chronology, arguing that the surrounding annalistic position is probably too early for Qi Wei Wang.

The same source then uses Qi Wei Wang’s investigation of 即墨大夫 and 阿邑大夫 as a governance case. He does not accept court reputation at face value; he secretly checks local conditions, rewards the official with bad court gossip but strong local performance, and punishes the official praised by courtiers but failing in practice.

This page is deliberately source-scoped. It keeps the episode’s “齐威王” story visible while marking its own chronology drift warning and connecting it to the earlier 田英齐 Tian-family succession branch without forcing a clean timeline.
