The Yongzheng Emperor ( December 13, 1678 - October 8, 1735), born Yinzhen was Emperor of the Qing Dynasty from 1723 to 1735. He was a tough and hard-working ruler bent on effective government at minimum expense. Like his father, the Kangxi Emperor， Yongzheng used military force to preserve the dynasty's position. His reign was despotic, efficient, vigorous and brief.
Yinzhen was the fourth son of Kangxi to survive into adulthood, and the eldest son by Empress Xiaogong (孝恭皇后), a lady of the Wuya (烏雅) clan. Little is known about the prince Yinzhen because he censored the records of his accession to the throne and suppressed other writings he deemed inimical to his regime. What is clear is that Yinzhen was the recipient of imperial favour on many occasions, being intrusted with fifteen special assignments. He was made a beile (貝勒, "lord") in 1698 and then successively raised to the position of third-class prince in 1689 and first-class prince (雍親王) in 1709.
In 1712 the Kangxi Emperor removed his second son, YinrengYinreng (, born June 16, 1674; died Jan. 27 1725) was a Heir Apparent to the imperial throne of China. He was the second of Kangxi Emperor of China's 20 sons to have survived into adulthood. Yinreng's mother, Empress Xiaocheng of the Heseri clan, a niece, as heir-apparent and refused to designate another one. By the time of the old emperor's death in December 1722, the field of contenders had been reduced down to three sons, Yinzhi , YintiYinTi (1688-1767) was Kang Xi's fourteenth son who was said to be the favourite to succeed him. He was the brother of Yin Zheng born to the same mother. However, after the death of Kang Xi, he was imprisoned by Yong Zheng (Prince Yin Zheng) because the ne, and Yinzhen. At the time Yinti, as Border Pacification General-in-chief (撫遠大將軍), was away on the warfront in the northwest. The official record states that on December 20th, Kangxi called to his bedside seven of his sons and the General Commandant of the Peking Gendarmerie, Longkedo and declared that Yinzhen should succeed him on the imperial throne. There were suggestions, however, that the Yongzheng Emperor forged his father's will and took power in a coup d'etat at the capital. Whilst this has largely being discounted by most historians of the period as opposition propaganda, there is evidence to support the view. It is known that within a few years of ascending the throne he had also had most of his brothers arrested and charged. YinsiYinsi Aisin-gioro (·) was born to Emperor Kangxi and his concubine, Liang Fei of the Wei family, in 1681, and was the eighth son. He died in prison after fighting a battle of succession with then Emperor Yongzheng., Yintang , both supporters of Yinti for the throne, languished in prison and died in 1727. Another brother, Yin'e , was expelled from the imperial clan in 1726.
