He was the 13th jasagh (prince) of the Horqin Left Rear Banner and the last holder of the peerage.

Amurlingkui was a Borjigin descended from Qasar, the younger brother of Genghis Khan.

His son Heshig inherited the Jasagh status but lost the title of prince.

Taxes could no longer be collected from the peasants of his fief, and salaries from the congress were not sufficient to support his many relatives.

He eventually had to sell his mansion in Beijing in order to relieve himself from the plight.
