Hongshi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hongshi (Manchu: Hungši; 18 March 1704 – 20 September 1727) was a Manchu prince of the Qing Dynasty.
[edit] Biography
Hongshi was born of the Manchu Aisin Gioro clan as the third son of the Yongzheng Emperor. His mother was Consort Qi, who was surnamed Li.
Instigated in part by his uncle Yinsi, Hongshi plotted against his younger half brother Hongli (the future Qianlong Emperor) for succession to the throne. As a consequence, he was stripped off his titles and forced to commit suicide by hanging himself in 1727. This was due to the Yongzheng Emperor's personal prolonged struggle against his brothers for the throne and their constant sabotages on his policies even after he became emperor. Hongshi was expelled from the Aisin Gioro clan in 1727 after his death but was posthumously rehabilitated in 1735 after the Qianlong Emperor was enthroned.
