Hongxi (理親王 弘晳; 25 August 1694 – 26 October 1742), was a Qing imperial prince. He was the second son of Crown Prince Yunreng, and through him the grandson of the Kangxi Emperor. His mother was Lady Ligiya, [1] Yunreng's secondary consort.
Hongxi is most well known for leading five other princes in a failed coup in 1739. The plotters wanted to remove the Qianlong Emperor and enthrone Hongxi instead.
Hongxi was born on July 25, 1694. Hongxi was cultivated by his grandfather the Kangxi Emperor since childhood.[ citation needed] He was adopted by Imperial Princess Consort Limi, of the Gūwalgiya clan.
In 1714, King Sukjong of Joseon sent envoys to the Qing court. They reported that: "Hongxi is quite virtuous, it is difficult to abolish Yunreng" [2][ circular reference]
Hongxi was a favorite of Kangxi's. In 1722, a palace rumour claimed that the Kangxi Emperor would grant a special title of Prince to Hongxi. [3] [4]
After his uncle, Yinzhen, became the Yongzheng Emperor, Hongxi was awarded with the title of Prince Li. [5] The relationship between Yongzheng and Hongxi was harmonious. [6] [7] He held the title Prince Li of the Second Rank from 1723 to 1728, and was promoted to Prince Li of the First Rank in 1728. He was stripped of his title in 1739 by the Qianlong Emperor. Hongxi organised an unsuccessful coup d'etat against Qianlong in 1739. Along with Hongzi the conspirators included five other princes: Hongsheng, Hongpu, Hongchang, Hongjiao and Yunlu. [8]
