Sunu, a member of the royal family tried to crown Emperor Kang Xi's eighth son, Yun Yi (Yong Zheng's brother) king after Kang Xi's death. This angered Yong Zheng who succeeded his father Kang Xi. During second year of Yong Zheng's reign he sentenced the entire Sunu family to punishment. (Sunu's sons Sunijing, Shunichen, Leishihong, Wunichen, and Muerchen were all baptized Catholics.) Leishihong and Wunichen were exiled to Xi Ning together with Yong Zheng's brothers Yun Tang and Yun Yi. Leishihong and Wunichen preached with enthusiasm in Xi Ning. Governor of Chuansha, Nian Gengyao reported to Yong Zheng that Leishihong and Wunichen violated Yong Zheng's ban on Catholicism by preaching and raising money for a Catholic church. Yong Zheng summoned both of them backed to Beijing, and executed them. This got Sunu into trouble, who was exiled to Youwei with Yun Tang (Yong Zheng's brother). Sunu died shortly. His descendents were dispersed throughout the country, with many tortured extensively. This was a religion case which was strongly influenced by politics.
