Hongxi (Chinese: 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.
