Duke Hu was a younger son of Duke Gui. When Duke Gui died, Duke Hu's older half-brother, Duke Ai, ascended the throne. Duke Ai had a dispute with the Ji state. King Yi of Zhou sided with the marquis of Ji and executed Duke Ai by boiling him to death.[3] King Yi of Zhou then installed Duke Hu on the Qi throne.[1][2]
Duke Hu moved the capital of Qi from Yingqiu to Bogu. The move was resented by the people of Yingqiu, who rebelled under the leadership of Duke Hu's half-brother, Duke Xian, who then took the throne.[1][2]
