Hongyao was the sixth son of the Yongzheng Emperor, Qianlong was his fourth brother, and the brother Hongzhi, who liked to hold funerals for himself, was his fifth brother. Hongzhi should be Yongzheng's tenth son, but the sixth, seventh, and eighth elders all died prematurely before they were one year old, so they were not ranked in the prelude.
Friends who have watched "The Biography of Zhen Huan" will definitely be impressed by this Hongzhan, in the TV series, he is the illegitimate son of Zhen Huan and the old seventeen Yunli. Later, in order to prevent him from getting involved in the dispute over the concubine, Zhen Huan naturally passed him on to his real father Yunli.
However, the TV series is a TV series after all, although in history Hongzhan was indeed passed on to Yunli, but Hongzhan's life is undoubtedly Yongzheng's own son. And in the real history, the ending of Yun Li is still very good, he is already 17 years old, too young to participate in the Kowloon Conquest. Yun Li died three years after Qianlong, and it was impossible that he was killed by Yongzheng.
It was also in the third year of Qianlong that Qianlong passed on his younger brother Hongzhan to Prince Yunli of Guo, because Yunli was childless, and his relationship with Qianlong was very good. After Hongzhan was succeeded, he inherited the title of Prince of Yunliguo, but Hongzhan was only 7 years old, that is, he was only 4 years old when Qianlong ascended the throne.
The age gap made Qianlong very fond of his younger brother, and he invited various famous teachers to Hongzhan, so that Hongzhan developed the habit of liking poetry and loving books. After Hongzhan grew up, Qianlong gradually entrusted him with heavy responsibilities and gave him the title of prince, and the young man suddenly got such a new one, it was inevitable that he would float up, which led to the tragedy of Hongzhan's future.
Hongzhan loves money very much, has a black history of opening coal kilns and forcibly occupying people's fields, even though he is very rich, he is still very picky, he has problems with his own morality, but he is very strict with his subordinates.
Not only in life, but also in work, Hongzhan was not careful, once Qianlong asked him to go to Shengjing to deliver jade, but he told Qianlong that I had to go hunting first before I could go to work. He also participates in business and uses it to repay money owed to others. As a result, he thought that he was implicated in the case and was confessed. Qianlong was about to die when he was angry, and suddenly burst out all the anger he had accumulated before: Before you went to the Empress Dowager Palace to ask for peace, it was actually where I knelt. Your mother's birthday is a concubine, I did not give it, you wrote a book to satirize me, you are so rich, and often ask your mother for money, do you have the appearance of a son?
As a result, Hongzhi was fined three years and dismissed from his post. Hongzhi was relatively timid, and Qianlong's big outbreak frightened him when he returned home, and soon after he declared himself critically ill. Qianlong personally went to visit him, and Hongzhi knelt on the bed to apologize to Qianlong, and Qianlong remembered each other's brotherhood, couldn't help but cry, and said to him: I punished you a little because you were young and didn't understand things, and I wanted you to reflect on it, who expected you to get such a serious illness.
Qianlong ordered that all of Hongzhan's titles and titles be restored, but Hongzhan still fell ill and died.
