In 1636, Emperor Taiji ascended to the throne, founded the country under the title of Daqing, and also established a knighthood system. Later, there were eight iron hat kings: Prince Li, Prince Zheng, Prince Rui, Prince Yu, Prince Su, Prince Zhuang, King Keqin County, and King Shuncheng County. Although it is the same as the Iron Hat King, the gold content is still different.
Among them, Prince Li's family has three iron hats, which is the highest status of the iron hat king, while Prince Zhuang, whether in prestige or influence, is inferior to the other seven, and his status has always been relatively embarrassing.
The first Prince Zhuang was Aisin Kyora Shuosai, the fifth son of Emperor Taiji, and his birth mother was Emperor Taiji's concubine Yehenara, so his status in the imperial family at that time was not very high. It was not until 1644, after Shunzhi ascended the throne and made the capital Beijing, that Shuosai, as the imperial brother, was made the king of Doro County. It was also in this year that Shuosai was ordered to accompany Dordor on a campaign to attack Li Zicheng's rebel army, and then accompanied the army to fight everywhere, and was eventually promoted to prince by Dorgon for his outstanding military achievements.
In 1650, due to the involvement of the Hauge Incident, Shuosai was demoted to the rank of county king, and only after Shunzhi was promoted to prince of Chengze was promoted to prince and appointed as the king of the council. In the following years, the reused Shosai participated in the management of the military affairs and took charge of the Zongren Mansion.
At the end of 1653, the Fifth Dala Lama of Tibet, Ngawang Lobsang Xicuo, came to Beijing at the invitation of the Shunzhi Emperor to meet him, and Shuo Sai was ordered to lead 5,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners to Inner Mongolia to meet him. In Daiga, Shosai not only met with the Living Buddha of Tibet, but also allied with the envoys of the Khalkha Mongols who came to see the Living Buddha, as well as the upper nobles of southern Mongolia.
In addition to his political achievements, Shuo Sai was also one of the few artists among the princes and nobles of the early Qing Dynasty, and he was the only literary and martial all-rounder among the eight iron hat kings. He is good at poetry and painting, especially landscape painting. His painting "Qifeng Flying Waterfall" has been highly praised by famous painters such as Gao Shiqi and Song Xiaolian.
Unfortunately, in January 1655, Prince Shuosai of Seungze died after only 27 years of age. His eldest son, BoGuoduo, inherited the title, and his title was changed to Prince Zhuang. Although Bogodo did not do much politically, he was quite interested in theater and contributed to the development of theater.
However, the family is very regretful, although Boguoduo lived a long life and lived for 74 years, he was completely qualified under his knees, and did not leave a single heir, so that the succession of Prince Zhuang's title was facing major changes.
According to some of Prince Zhuang's descendants, when Boguoduo was critically ill, the Kangxi Emperor personally went to Prince Zhuang's mansion to visit his cousin. When he saw that there was no one around the old prince to take care of him, he said, "How can there be no one waiting by Prince Zhuang's side?" Pass on the sixteen brothers as heirs! "The Sixteenth Brother is The Sixteenth Son of Kangxi, Yunlu.
According to other records, after BoGuoduo's death that year, he actually had four nephews alive and could fully inherit the title, but the Yongzheng Emperor, who had just ascended the throne, transferred the inheritance to his brother Yunlu. Therefore, the outside world has been talking about Yongzheng's move. Yongzheng also opened a rumor for this duke, saying: "The outside world vainly discussed the love of the sixteenth brother, so that he would inherit the prince of Zhuang." Why should the brothers be crowned princes, but they must be thickened by inheriting prince Zhuang's title and thickening the sixteen brothers? In this way, he showed that he did not intend to be unfair to the Bogodo family.
However, from a later point of view, Yun Lu's succession to Prince Zhuang's family was not a good thing for their people. Because Yun Lu had always been very concerned about the Boguoduo family after inheriting Prince Zhuang, his generosity and benevolence were also unanimously praised by public opinion at that time.
Yoon Rok was actually a brilliant prince who was proficient in music, mathematics, and even wrote astronomy. Moreover, Yun Lu acted in a low-key manner, so he was also reused after Yongzheng ascended the throne, and was in charge of the affairs of the internal affairs office, and after Qianlong took the throne, he even became an auxiliary minister, leading to double the prince Feng Lu.
For such a literary and artistic prince, Yongzheng, who was extremely vigilant, once commented that he was "peaceful and cautious, pure in heart, but rarely responsible for things, but it will not be wrong." For this old emperor uncle, Qianlong also had great respect, and once wrote poems to celebrate his seventieth birthday, and in 1767, Yun Lu died at the age of 73.
