生平

康熙十一年二月十四日午時（1672年3月12日）出生，因康熙帝最早出生的四個兒子皆夭殤而依照規定不序齒，故允禔為康熙帝名義上的長子。幼年依照慣例養於宮外，允禔養在成妃叔伯內務府總管噶祿家中。

康熙二十九年（1690年），康熙帝命大阿哥允禔為裕親王福全的副將共同抵禦蒙古噶爾丹，因二人不協調，允禔被召還。康熙三十五年（1696年），跟從康熙帝征討噶爾丹。康熙三十七年（1698年），允禔被封為直郡王。

康熙四十七年（1708年）九月，皇太子允礽於塞外行圍，允禔向康熙帝告狀太子與匪類潛謀大事，並允許讓他負責看守監視太子。允禔一直與康熙朝中重臣馬齊、康熙的舅舅佟國維等人結黨，當太子允礽正式被廢位後，允禔認為時機已到，便向康熙帝進言：「廢太子所行卑污大失人心，相面人張明德曾相八阿哥允禩，後必大貴，今欲誅殺允礽，不必出自皇父之手」。康熙帝對此極為氣憤，反而斥責允禔、允禩和其黨羽才是為「亂臣賊子」。康熙帝甚至說了：「廢皇太子後，大阿哥允禔曾奏稱八阿哥允禩好，春秋之義，人臣無將將則必誅，大寶(皇位)豈人可妄行窺伺者耶。八阿哥允禩柔奸性成妄蓄大志…其黨羽早相要結謀害廢太子允礽，今其事皆已敗露，著將八阿哥允禩鎖拏」。

後來有人發現大阿哥允禔亦曾經用魘鎮術操控廢太子允礽之品性及危及性命自盡詛咒之事。因此康熙帝下令革除允禔直郡王爵位，並幽禁於高牆嚴加看守。康熙帝諭皇子諸王大臣：「若人果被殺，豈有無姓名見証，凡此等事，皆由允禔魘魅(操控人心)所致，允禔所播揚廢太子允礽諸事其中多屬(誣賴狡辯)，廢太子允礽既執之後，在途中行時，若非朕委任親信侍衛加意防護廢皇太子，必為允禔害矣。到京後，令廢皇太子居咸安宮朕亦熟籌及此。凡彼處臣侍，俱責令小心守護，令朕體違和，每念皇太子被廢之事甚為痛惜」。

雍正十二年十二月十四日（1735年1月7日）逝世，而《中國考古集成》則述是該年十一月初一逝世，享年六十二歲。直郡王府舊址，今位於北京市西城區西直門內前半壁街。

評價

• 康熙帝：大阿哥素行不端、氣質暴戾…今一查問其行事，厭咒親弟、及殺人之事，盡皆顯露，所遣殺人之人俱已自縊…當派人將大阿哥嚴加看守，略有舉動，即令奏聞，伊之身命猶可多延數載。

• 雍正帝：大阿哥殘暴橫肆，暗行鎮魘，冀奪儲位。

Life

Yinzhi was born in the Aisin Gioro clan as the fifth son of the Kangxi Emperor. His mother was Consort Hui (惠妃) from the Yehe Nara (葉赫那拉) clan as well as a relative of the eminent official, Mingju. As the Kangxi Emperor's first four sons died prematurely, and Yinzhi was the emperor's eldest son to survive into adulthood, he was designated by his father as "First Prince" (大阿哥). In 1698, he was granted a junwang (second-rank prince) title as "Prince Zhi of the Second Rank" (多羅直郡王).

Yinzhi participated in the Qing Empire's campaign against Galdan Boshugtu Khan of the Zunghar Khanate. In 1708, the Kangxi Emperor removed Yinreng from his position as Crown Prince. The emperor regarded Yinzhi highly so he placed Yinreng under Yinzhi's custody. Yinzhi had long harboured the intention of seizing the succession to the throne, so he used the opportunity to urge his father to execute Yinreng, but his father became extremely displeased. Later, Yinzhi's third brother, Yinzhi (胤祉), spread rumours accusing the First Prince of using sorcery to overthrow Yinreng from his Crown Prince position. The Kangxi Emperor believed the rumours and was so furious with Yinzhi (First Prince) that he called his son a "treacherous subject" and stripped him off his princely title and placed him under house arrest.

When the Kangxi Emperor died in 1722, his fourth son, Yinzhen, succeeded him and became historically known as the Yongzheng Emperor. Yinzhi changed his name to "Yunzhi" to avoid naming taboo because the Chinese character for "Yin" (胤) in "Yinzhi" is the same as the one in the Yongzheng Emperor's personal name "Yinzhen" (胤禛). Yunzhi died in 1735 and was given a funeral befitting that of a beizi.
