There were many princes in the Qing Dynasty, and Prince Heshuorong was one of them, and the little friends were probably very unfamiliar with this prince, but when it came to Yongqi in "Huan Zhuge Ge", the little friends must have said: "It turned out to be the fifth brother." Yong qi was born in the sixth year of Qianlong (1741 AD), the character 筠亭, the number of tengqin residents, ranked fifth, the birth mother is the Yue guifei Keliye te clan. Yongqi and "Rong" have an indissoluble relationship throughout their lives.
After Yongqi was born, he did not receive Qianlong's attention, which was directly related to his mother. Yu Guifei Koryet was the daughter of Erjitu, a mid-level cadre from Wupin, indicating that the Koryet clan had no prominent family background. She did not get the help of her family and was marginalized in the harem.

The concubines of the Qing Palace were divided into eight levels, and in the early Qianlong period, the Kerryet clan gradually rose from the low-level promise and constant presence to the nobleman. After she gave birth to the emperor's fifth son, Yongqi, she was given the title of Concubine Yu. In the first month of the tenth year of Qianlong (1745 AD), the Kerryet clan was awarded the title of Concubine of Pleasure and enjoyed the treatment of a mid-level and high-ranking concubine, and for the next forty-seven years she was not promoted, and she only gave birth to Yongqi alone, which showed from one side that she did not get Qianlong's favor.
The weakness of the mother did not affect Yongqi's growth, but with her 5A-level performance, she won the situation of low opening and high walking.
First of all, Yongqi Wensi was quick-witted and talented, and wrote a collection of poems, "Ningruitang Poetry Copy", and got an A.
Secondly, the calligraphy is profound, and there are "Pure King Xingshu Zhongtang" and "Pure King Golden Book Xiaokai Folding Fan" passed down, and A is obtained.
Third, Yongqi has a high talent for languages, is fluent in manchu, Mongolian, Chinese and other three languages, and gets an A.
Fourth, his science results are also excellent, he is well versed in astronomy, calendar, arithmetic and other science arithmetic, his thinking is meticulous, his calculations are exquisite, and he has a hand scroll of the "Eight-Line Method" and gets an A.
In the end, Yongqi can fight on horseback, can ride and shoot on horseback, is excellent in martial arts, has excellent courage, and gets A.
Yongqi's five-A performance has brought glory to herself. Qianlong gradually began to attach importance to and cultivate Yongqi, and assigned his son to participate in some state affairs such as sacrifice, condolence, and hanging. The mother was noble to the son, and the birth mother of the Koliyet clan was promoted to concubine by concubine, and the treatment was upgraded, and after death, she enjoyed the treatment of a noble concubine. Yongqi counterattacked from all the way through personal efforts.

A sudden incident made Qianlong pay more attention to Yongqi. On the fifth day of the first month of the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong (1763 AD), the Qingyan Hall of Jiuzhou in the Yuanmingyuan caught fire, and Qianlong was trapped in the sea of fire, at that time, Hongzhi and Yongqi were on the scene. When Yongqi's grandson Yi Yi said in memory of his ancestors: "When Qianlong was not in the early years of the Qingyan Fire in Kyushu, my ancestors were responsible for Emperor Gaozong's fierce smoke." Yong Qi's filial piety, regardless of his own, deeply touched Qianlong.
Without contrast, there is no harm. Compared with Hongzhi's inaction, Yongqi's defiance is even more valuable. After Qianlong escaped from danger, his attitude toward the two was diametrically opposed. He severely reprimanded his brother for not seeing death and not saving him, and he was greatly touched by his son's timely rescue. Every five years, the Qing Dynasty was crowned king. In November of the thirtieth year of Qianlong (1765), the first year that Yongqi could be crowned king after saving his father from the fire, Qianlong decisively named him Prince Heshuorong.
In the history of the Qing Dynasty, there were two Rong princes, one was the fourth son of Shunzhi, and his birth mother was the favorite concubine Dong Efei. The other is Yongqi. In the political context of the feudal society", the word "Rong" itself is a noble title, reflecting a father's love for his son, and Prince Rong shows the emperor's attention to the object of the title, with a prominent political status. The difference between the two Rong princes is that the former is expensive because of their mother, and Yongqi is completely obtained by his own efforts.

After reading the vertical comparison, let's look at the horizontal comparison. Among the sons of Qianlong, there were only three princes of Jinfeng. In addition to Yongqi, there were the eleventh son, Yong yao, the prince of Shuocheng, and the fifteenth son, Yongyan, the prince of Shuojia, the former of whom was posthumously sealed, and the latter who was crowned king by a full twenty-four years later than Yongqi. Among the three, Yongqi "Rong" was favored twice.
In fact, there are deeper reasons for Yongqi's sealing of the king. Before he became king, Yongqi was already ill. After Qianlong learned of this, "Due to illness drama, he was first crowned prince." Apparently, in order to comfort Yongqi, Qianlong crowned him prince during his illness, hoping to alleviate the torture and blow of Yongqi in order to alleviate the pain.

According to the "Continuation of the History of the State Dynasty Palace" compiled by the Qing Dynasty, more intersections between Qianlong and Yongqi are recorded, which explains that "on the fifth day of the first month of February in the thirty-first year of Qianlong, the general manager Wang Changgui was instructed to observe the illness of the five brothers from the third day of the first month to the Zhaoxiang Institute. "The Zhaoxiang House is the residence of a concubine's family in the Forbidden City during their entry into the palace, and Yongqi lives in the Zhaoxiang House, both for the sake of recuperation and the convenience of Qianlong's visits. Three months after the crowning of the throne, Qianlong did visit Yongqi in person at Zhaoxiang's house, and the king of a country personally visited his son's residence to visit his illness, which fully reflected the father's attention and care for his son.
On the eighth day of the first month of March in the thirty-first year of Qianlong (April 16, 1766 AD), Yongqi died of illness at zhaoxiang's residence at the age of 25, and his nickname was pure, which showed that Qianlong remembered him. In the official history books, the specific cause of Yongqi's illness is not recorded. Chen Zhaolun, who was then the secretary of the Taichang Temple, wrote in the eulogy of the Second Prince of Fengbang Rongchun that "the king suffered from bone sores and could not collapse, and was knighted in the winter of last week, and died in March this year." It said the cause of Yongqi's death. Epiphytic sores are apocryphals of epistaxis, "due to wind and cold and damp obstruction of muscles and bones, qi and blood coagulation", commonly found on the outside of the thighs, equivalent to modern acute and chronic purulent osteitis, which is closely related to Yongqi's long-term wind and meal camping in order to exercise riding and shooting.
The Jin jian of the Medical Sect is a series of Chinese medicine books edited and revised by wu Qian, a Qing Dynasty physician
According to the Qing Dynasty medical book "Yizong Jinjian", the epiphytic sores "are evidence that they can be cured", not an incurable disease. However, the epiphysis "first felt cold and hot, like a cold wind evil", "its swelling is similar to the flesh, not very red accumulation, the day does not collapse, and it has long changed to purple and dark." "These illusions caused the doctor to misdiagnose.
In the Records of Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty, after Yong Qi's death, "according to the current doctor's diagnosis, it is said that it is caused by weakness, and if it is caused by the onset of the disease from the previous time, according to the actual music, it can be prevented and treated as early as possible." It can be seen that Yongqi's death is related to misdiagnosis. The attending doctors Zhang Rupan, Song Guorui and others concealed their illness, causing the medicine to be incorrect and delaying the treatment time. Afterwards, Zhang Rupan and Song Guorui were convicted of dereliction of duty and handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for punishment.

The "Continuation of the History of the Imperial Palace" also records a small episode. Qianlong came to Zhaoxiang's house to visit Yongqi and inadvertently asked how to shave his head during illness. Yong Qi replied, "Outside the gate of the Fuyuan Garden, there is a people who shave their heads very well, and someone summons them in to shave them." Qianlong was very angry when he heard this. According to the regulations, the prince's shaving of his head should be responsible for the eunuch at the massage office, and now it is actually handled by a folk shaver, which is a violation. In addition, Fuyuan is a forbidden place in the palace, and outsiders come and go at will, which is forbidden. Therefore, Qianlong handed over "the general manager of the management and the five brothers to the chief steward of the palace for punishment." Even such a small matter as shaving his head had to be asked, indicating that Yongqi's position in Qianlong's heart was extraordinary.
In the fifty-eighth year of Qianlong (1793 AD), the British envoy Ma Gorney came to Beijing to meet Qianlong. When talking about the princes, Qianlong still remembered Yongqi, saying: "At that time, the fifth son of the emperor was more valuable among the sons, and chinese, Manchu, Mongolian, horse steps, riding archery, and algorithms were all skillful, which was quite intentional, and showed that he was clear and died of illness." Here he made it clear that he intended to pass the throne to Yongqi, but unfortunately he died young. At this time, it had been twenty-seven years since Yongqi's death.

According to the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty," "Yongqi learned less about riding and shooting, Chinese, and loved it." It is the best evaluation of Yongqi. Judging from various records and indications, Qianlong did not hide his love for Yongqi, and even expressed his willingness to pass on the throne in front of foreign envoys, which was a true expression of his personal feelings.
Including Yong Qi, as many as thirteen of Qianlong's seventeen sons died prematurely. There are only four people who meet the requirement to have a place. Eight sons Yongxuan have a disability in their feet, and the image does not match, out. The eleventh son, Yong Yao, likes calligraphy, similar to Emperor Huizong, out. Seventeen sons Yong Xuan has an arrogant personality, causes trouble, and is out. There were only fifteen sons left.
Compared with Yong Qi, Yong Yan was loyal and generous, and his ability was insufficient. He overthrew Hekun, governed Caoyun, and pacified the White Lotus Sect, and could be said to be a promising monarch, but he lacked strategic vision and did not have the courage to eliminate maladministration, which led to a further widening of the gap between China and the West that had undergone the industrial revolution. In the midst of internal and external troubles, the Qing Dynasty gradually came to an end. If Yongqi ascends the throne, with his ability, he is bound to make great achievements, but history has never been "if".
