Aisin Gioro Hongchang (貝勒 弘昌; 14 December 1706 – 3 June 1771) was the eldest son of Yinxiang.
As the eldest son, Hongchang could inherit the Prince Yi peerage, but was found unsuitable because of his mental abilities.
[2]Hongchang shared a close relationship with Hongsheng, a son of Prince Heng of the First Rank Yunqi.
The rebels, including Hongchang, said that Dzungar Khanate could not have dared to defeat Beijing and attempted to proclaim him as an emperor.
When the plan of fractionists was exposed by Hongpu,[6] only Hongchang pleaded his innocence as he played major role in the clique.
