Prior to becoming emperor, Prince Yinzhen was perhaps the most trusted son of the [[Kangxi Emperor]]. His elder brother, Yinreng, was named heir apparent for a time, but then was stripped of this title and placed under house arrest as a result of frequent scandalous and inappropriate behavior. Yinzhen was placed in charge of overseeing his brother's imprisonment.
