英桂宗室載齡恩承宗室福錕崇禮裕德 [Biographies of] Ying Gui, Zongshi Zailing, En Cheng, Zongshi Fukun, Chongli, and Yude

宗室福錕，字箴庭，隸鑲藍旗，理密親王允礽六世孫。 Zongshi Fukun, styled Zhenting, belonged to the Bordered Blue Banner and was a sixth-generation descendant of Prince Limi, Yunreng.

以部駁機器鼓鑄，福錕議革職，改留任，旋复官。 When the ministry rejected machine-struck coinage, Fukun was deliberated for dismissal from office, the sentence was changed to retention in post, and shortly afterward his rank was restored.

崇文疏劾大學士張之萬交納外官，命福錕偕尚書潘祖廕勘之，奏言：「之萬住居湫隘，門無雜賓。 Chongwen memorialized impeaching Grand Secretary Zhang Zhiwan for cultivating ties with outside officials. Fukun was ordered, together with Minister Pan Zuyin, to investigate and reported: "Zhiwan's dwelling is cramped and narrow, and his gate admits no miscellaneous visitors.

時京師盜風甚熾，福錕初禁步軍訊盜用嚴刑，盜益肆。 At that time theft in the capital was rampant. Fukun had at first forbidden the Metropolitan Garrison to use severe torture in interrogating thieves, and crime grew still bolder.

卒，諡文慎。 He died and was given the posthumous name Wenshen.
