Prince Dunke of the First Rank, Mian'kai
Prince Dunke of the First Rank, Mian'kai, was the third son of Renzong. In the eighteenth year of Jiaqing, when Lin Qing's rebellion broke out, Mian'kai followed Xuanzong in seizing the rebels at the Cangzhen Gate, and received an edict praising him. In the twenty-fourth year he was enfeoffed as Prince Dun of the Second Rank. When Xuanzong came to the throne he was advanced to Prince of the First Rank. His son Yizuan was enfeoffed as a Duke without the Eight Privileges. In the first month of the third year of Daoguang, Mian'kai was ordered to attend in the Inner Court. Soon, because his consort rode in a sedan chair straight into the Shenwu Gate, he was convicted and dismissed, and fined five years of his prince's stipend. The emperor escorted the Empress Dowager on a visit to Mian'kai's residence, and ordered him again to attend in the Inner Court, reducing the fine to three years of the prince's stipend. In the seventh year, because he had private dealings with the eunuch Zhang Mingde and moreover sheltered the eunuch Yuan Changqing, he was reduced to Prince of the Second Rank. In the tenth month of the eighth year, in recognition of his seizing the rebels at the Cangzhen Gate and resisting the enemy in the emergency, he was restored to Prince of the First Rank, and instructed to take more care to restrain himself. In the fifth month of the thirteenth year, because in deliberating the funeral rites for the empress Mian'kai quoted the Book of Documents, "The hundred families mourned as for a father or mother, and within the four seas the eight kinds of music were stopped and silenced," which did not accord with the sense, he was dismissed from the Inner Court and fined ten years of his prince's stipend. In the fifth month of the eighteenth year, a commoner woman, Lady Mu, accused her husband Muqixian of having been imprisoned by Mian'kai, and Zaiquan, Prince Ding of the Second Rank, was ordered to investigate; it was found true, and Mian'kai was again reduced to Prince of the Second Rank and dismissed from all his offices and duties. In the twelfth month he died, and was restored to Prince of the First Rank. The emperor came in person to the offering, and he was given the posthumous name Ke. Yizuan had died before him and was posthumously made beile, and his consort was ordered to be given half the stipend of a Prince of the Second Rank. Edit
In the twenty-sixth year, the emperor's fifth son Yishen was made Mian'kai's heir and inherited the rank of Prince of the Second Rank. When Wenzong came to the throne, he was ordered to attend in the Inner Court. Yishen was repeatedly reprimanded for failures of etiquette. In the third month of the fifth year of Xianfeng he was reduced to beile, dismissed from all his offices and duties, and made to study in the Imperial Study. In the first month of the sixth year he was again enfeoffed as Prince Dun of the Second Rank. In the tenth month he was advanced to Prince of the First Rank. When Muzong came to the throne, an edict excused him from kowtowing and from the use of his name. In the third year of Tongzhi, when Jiangning was recovered, his son Zailian was enfeoffed as Duke Who Guards the State without the Eight Privileges, and Zaijin was granted the button of the first rank. In the sixth month of the fourth year he was appointed Director of the Imperial Clan Court. In the first month of the seventh year, when the Nian bandits pressed on the capital region, Yishen set out a plan of defence. In the eleventh month of the eighth year, Yixuan, Prince Chun of the Second Rank, impeached the prince for having appointed himself Director of the Imperial Clan Court, using the name of reorganisation to open the way to seizing power; an edict reconciled both sides. In the eleventh year, at the emperor's wedding, he was granted purple, a place with the Chamberlains of the Imperial Guard, and leopard-tail spears to be carried by his attendants. Zailian was advanced to Duke Who Assists the State. In the twelfth month of the thirteenth year he was granted the right to ride in a four-bearer sedan chair within the Forbidden City, and was excused from entering [for audience]; as Chief Attendant Prince he drew a double stipend. In the sixth month of the fifth year of Guangxu, when the work on the auspicious burial site at Puxiangyu was completed, he was again granted a double stipend. In the thirteenth year, when the emperor took over the government himself, he was excused from being led in to audiences. In the first month of the fifteenth year he died; the emperor escorted the Empress Dowager to the offering, and he was given the posthumous name Qin. Edit
He had eight sons, of whom five held rank: Zailian, Zaiyi, Zailan, Zaiying and Zaijin. Zailian was Yishen's first son. He was first enfeoffed as General Who Assists the State, first class, and advanced repeatedly to Duke Who Assists the State, then inherited the rank of beile, with the added rank of a Prince of the Second Rank. In the twenty-fifth year his son Pucheng was granted the button of the first rank. In the twenty-sixth year Zailian was deprived of his rank for shielding the Boxers, and his younger brother Zaiying inherited it. Zaiying was Yishen's fourth son. He was first enfeoffed as General Who Guards the State, second class, with the added rank of a Duke Who Assists the State without the Eight Privileges, and inherited the rank of beile. Zaiyi was Yishen's second son. He was sent out to be the heir of Yizhi, Prince Rui of the Second Rank. He was convicted of a crime, deprived of his rank, and returned to his own line. This is told in the biography of Mianxin, Prince Ruihuai of the First Rank. Zailan was Yishen's third son. He was first enfeoffed as General Who Assists the State, third class, and then advanced to Duke Who Assists the State without the Eight Privileges. For shielding the Boxers he was deprived of his rank and sent to garrison duty in Xinjiang. Zaijin was Yishen's fifth son. He was enfeoffed as General Who Guards the State, second class, with the added rank of a Duke Who Assists the State without the Eight Privileges. Edit
