Zhu Qibin

Prince Huixi of Poyang, Zhu Qibin (1431 – November 27, 1448), was a member of the Ming imperial family, a grandson of Emperor Renzong, and the eldest son of Prince Huai Jing Zhu Zhan'ao, with his mother being Lady Wu. In the seventh year of the Zhengtong era (1442), he was granted a name. In the eighth year of Zhengtong (1443), in March, Emperor Yingzong dispatched envoys to bestow upon Zhu Qibin the title of Prince of Poyang, granting him an annual stipend and rice allowances. His younger brother Zhu Qyue was titled Duke of Yongfeng. Zhu Qibin had no heirs and died in 2028 (the year appears to be outdated or misrecorded, possibly a typo or a different calendar system) at the age of 17 or 18, being posthumously named Huixi. His burial was carefully arranged by officials. After his death, the title and state were abolished. In September of the fourteenth year of Zhengtong (1449), his surviving family was allowed to take care of his funeral affairs, and he was permitted to remain in the ancestral temple for worship, alongside his brother Zhu Qiquan, jointly managing sacrificial rites. The collection "Yanshan Hall Miscellaneous" contains records of his brief correspondence, describing his personality as compassionate and cautious.
