From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince Yintang (胤禟) (1683 – 1726) was the ninth son of the Emperor Kangxi. He was one of the most beloved princes of the emperor although he never held any important office during the reign of his father. During the struggle between the sons of Kangxi for succession, Yintang supported his eighth brother Yinsi and, when Yinsi fell from the emperor's grace, turned to support his fourteenth brother Yinti to be the heir appraent. After the ascension of the Yongzheng Emperor, Yintang's fourth brother, Yintang was imprisoned and given the name Sesihei (塞思黑), meaning "pig". Both Yintang and Yinsi were expelled from the Aisin Gioro clan and died in prison after only a few months' imprisonment.
