Features: Aisin Gioro Yinzhen was the fourth son of the Kangxi Emperor, born in the 17th year of the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty (i.e., 1678 AD). Among the twelve emperors of the Great Qing, Yinzhen's cunning and ruthlessness were well-known. Cai Dongfan, the author of "The Popular History of the Qing Dynasty," remarked that Yinzhen's actions, which involved enduring grievances silently, were none that could be shared with others, thereby revealing the depth of his scheming and the furtiveness of his character. From the perspectives of sociology and psychology, the formation of Yinzhen's personality had its reasons. His birth mother was merely a palace maid, and in feudal society, palace maids held a very low status and were not qualified to raise imperial princes, even if they were the biological mothers of the prince.
