Li Feng (200s - 27 March 254[2]), courtesy nameAnguo, was a Chinese politician of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period of China. He was a trusted official of the third Wei emperor Cao Fang, and did not follow the regent Sima Shi's wishes.
In 254, in company with Xiahou Xuan and Zhang Ji (張緝), he plotted to kill Sima Shi. However, Sima Shi sensed their scheme and summoned Li Feng to meet him in the palace, where he interrogated Li Feng and killed him. He was then accused of treason and his family members were executed as well.[3]
Family
Li Feng's father, Li Yi (李義), previously served as Minister of the Guards (衛尉) in the Cao Wei state.
Li Feng's first son, Li Tao (李韜), married Grand Princess[4] of Qi (齊長公主), a daughter of the second Wei emperor Cao Rui. Li Feng's daughter, Li Wan (李婉),[5] married Jia Chong but was sentenced to exile after her father's downfall. Li Wan's daughter Jia Bao later married Sima You, a son of Sima Zhao and Wang Yuanji.
^A Weilüe annotation in Xiahou Xuan's biography in Sanguozhi indicate that Li Feng was 17-18 (by East Asian reckoning) during the Huang'chu era (220-226) of Cao Pi's reign. Thus, his birth year should be in the 200s.
