`` for the place and area in persia/iran see yunesi . ''
yunsi -lrb- , 29 march 1681 - 5 october 1726 -rrb- , born yinsi -lrb- -rrb- , was a manchu prince of the qing dynasty in china .
the eighth son of the kangxi emperor , yunsi was a pivotal figure in the battle for succession to the imperial throne .
yunsi was believed to be favoured by most officials at the court of kangxi to be the next emperor but ultimately lost the struggle to the fourth prince , who became the yongzheng emperor .
nevertheless , after yongzheng ascended the throne in 1723 , yunsi was named a top advisor to the new emperor and imperial chancellor -lrb- i.e. prime minister -rrb- , the head of `` lifan yuan '' , in addition to being created prince lian of the highest noble rank -lrb- `` lian qinwang '' ; -rrb- .
he was removed from office four years later , his titles stripped , then he was banished from the imperial clan .
he was charged with a litany of crimes and sent to prison , where he died in disgrace .
he was posthumously rehabilitated during the qianlong emperor 's reign .
