Li Wei the Magistrate II is a 2004 Chinese television historical comedy-drama and the sequel to the 2001 hit-series Li Wei the Magistrate, again starring Xu Zheng as the titular official Li Wei. Xu also co-directed the series with Zhou Shidu.
In the sequel, the Kangxi Emperor had died, and Li Wei became a high-ranking minister under Yongzheng Emperor (and no longer just a magistrate).
Filming began in August 2003 in Hengdian World Studios. It was first broadcast in February 2004 locally in the Nanjing area.
It was followed by a 2005 sequel Li Wei Resigns from Office, starring Paul Chun as an older Li Wei.
