Qi Tai (simplified Chinese: 齐泰; traditional Chinese: 齊泰) (died 1402), originally named De (德) and was given the name Tai by the Hongwu Emperor,[1] courtesy name Shangli (尚禮), art name Nantang (南塘), a native of Lishui County, Zhili (present-day Lishui District, Nanjing, Jiangsu), was a Chinese official of the early Ming dynasty.
After the Jianwen Emperor ascended the throne, he was promoted to Minister of War, and he and Huang Zicheng proposed reducing the power of princes.
As a result, Prince of Yan Zhu Di launched the Jingnan campaign.
In 1402, after Zhu Di seized the throne, he arrested and executed Qi Tai.
During the Qing Qianlong era, the Qianlong Emperor rehabilitated the ministers of the Jianwen Emperor, and Qi Tai was given the posthumous name Zhongjing (忠敬).
