A brief genealogy of the descendants of the Aisin Kyora family
Author: Gong Yinqiang
In the summer of 2021, in order to compile the "Search record of the descendants of Aixin Jueluo", I went to Beijing again to visit the descendants of the Aixin Jueluo family, and Mr. Jin, a former professor of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, was one of the ones I visited. When we met at the Summer Palace, Mr. Kim talked to me about many things, but he was actually reluctant to talk about his identity as a descendant of Xinjueluo. At my insistence, Mr. Kim informed me that he was a descendant of Yoon-woo.
Yun Zhi, the third son of the Kangxi Emperor, was originally the Prince of Cheng, and was a famous talent in the Qing Dynasty. Because of his participation in the capture of the Ninth Son, he was later imprisoned by the Yongzheng Emperor and died in the tenth year of Yongzheng. Yun Zhi had twelve sons and six daughters, of whom 7 were adults, namely the third son Hongsheng, the sixth son Hongxi, the seventh son Hongjing, the eighth son Hongxian, the tenth son Honghuang, the eleventh son Hongyi, and the twelfth son Hongyi.
Hongsheng , actually the eldest son of Yun Zhi 's adult concubine , was made a prince in the last year of the Kangxi Dynasty , and soon after the Yongzheng Emperor succeeded to the throne , Hongsheng was reduced to an idle clan before his father. The Yongzheng Emperor and his favorite concubine Nian Shi had a son, named Fuhui (一作富慧), and the Later Yongzheng Emperor officially named the prince "Hongsheng", and according to the stipulation that the imperial family of the Zongrenfu could not be renamed, he took the name of Hongsheng, the third son of Yunzhi, although he later reinstated his name, but this treatment can be seen. I couldn't even keep my name, let alone where I lived. Later, Prince Cheng's mansion in Guanyuan became the Palace of Prince Cheng of Kangxi's twelfth son, Yun Qi, and the Shizi Mansion of Hongsheng in the east, which became the Prince of Guo's Mansion of The Seventeenth Son of the Kangxi Emperor, Yun Li. Hongsheng's descendants passed on to his grandchildren without heirs, and the great-grandchildren were inherited by his sixth brother Hongxi's descendants until the Xianfeng Decade (1860).
Hongxi is the sixth son of Yoon-hee, and the Mr. Kim mentioned at the beginning of the article belongs to this family. Hongxi was a concubine, not from a high birth, influenced by his father and brother, and did not even have a basic title or official position. His descendants are also idle clans, with only two outlaws, but this does not hinder the achievements of Mr. Jin's family in various industries after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Mr. Jin's family originally lived in Dongbuqiao Hutong, and is now scattered in Deshengmen, Tongzhou, Shijingshan and other places.
Because Hongsheng was stripped of his title, the title of Yun Zhi's branch fell on the head of the seventh son, Hongjing, and became the great emperor of this line of Yun Zhi. Hongjing was knighted by Gushan Beizi in the eighth year of Yongzheng, and was given a new mansion in Jiang Yangfang Hutong on the east side of Xinjiekou. In the Qing Dynasty, the mansions above the title of Duke of the Eight Auxiliary States were public property, owned by the state, and subject to the control of the state. With the inheritance of Hongjing's knighthood, Hongjing's great-grandson Yiguo was no longer included in the eight-point title, and the original Beizi Mansion was reclaimed by the state and became the Princess Zhuangjing Mansion. Hongjing moved to Dongsi Liutiao to live.
In fact, this branch of Hongjing also passed to the grandchildren without heirs, and the great-grandson Yiguo was a descendant of Honghuang, the tenth son of Yun Zhi. Yi Guo had ten sons, and except for those who died early, most of them became senior officials in the civil and military ranks. The eldest son Zai Ling, the character Hefeng, the early years of Guangxu official to the Body Renge University scholar, Hubu Shangshu, the Qing court to remember his merits, will not be included in the eight auxiliary state dukedom hereditary replacement. His heir, Pu Yuan (a descendant of Hongxian), inherited the title, and the ancestral residence of Higashi 46jo was also known as "Brother Yuan Gong". Unfortunately, Pu Yuan's son Yu Peng, zi Shouqing, was removed from the family by Puyi for participating in the theft of Qing Dongling's property, and has no formal job since then, relying on selling ancestral property to maintain his life, and died in the Tiejia Tomb shortly after the founding of the country.
Yi Guo's grandson Pu Lai,zi You'an (字幼庵), was my ancestor's superior when he was the prefect of Laizhou. Pulai married when he was very young, and after two years of marriage, his wife died, and Pulai did not remarry, so he had no children. However, PuLai was frugal all his life and bought a mansion in bowstring hutong, which was basically the same size as the "Yuan Gongdi". Later, Puyuan handled the funeral for his cousin, and naturally inherited his cousin's property, after which Puyuan sold the "Yuan Gongdi" to the British and lived in bowstring hutong himself.
When Pulai died, the original plan was to let the son of his cousin Yu lian succeed him as his grandson, but because he did not contribute funds to handle the funeral for Pulai, this plan was shelved. Yulian originally lived in Yangwei Hutong, in 1917 Zhang Xun supported the restoration of Puyi, and when he was on fire with Duan Qirui, a bomb fell in the Courtyard of Yulian and moved to "Yuan Gongdi" to live temporarily, and then moved to No. 4 Songnian Hutong. The eldest son, Mr. Jin Hengying, moved to No. 1 Xidan Beef Bay.
Yun's eighth son, Hiroshi, was also an idle member of the imperial household and served as a deputy councillor. Six of the descendants served as bodyguards, and there was no other out-of-service. Hongxian's garden sleeps in Shangzhuang Ximafang, and the descendant Yuhai escaped the war during the Gengzi years and lives in Ximafang to this day. Mr. Zhao Henglu, the son of Yuhai, died in 1982, and his grandson Mr. Zhao Qicheng is still alive. Mr. Jin Wentong is a fellow of Zhao Qicheng, with the family name Hengde, originally living at No. 4 Neibanbi Street, an old Communist Party member of the People's Liberation Army Military Band, with three younger brothers Wenxi, Wenqi and Wenqing, who are not in the "Genealogy of Ai xinjueluo". Mr. Wentong's three sons still live in the dormitory of the Lane Gou Military Band. Another ancestor of the same emperor Yushan was in Houkeng Hutong, and the eldest son Henglu (genealogical name Heng), with the same name.
Hongyi and Hongyi were the eleventh and twelfth sons of Yunyi, respectively, both of whom were Shu chu, and were also third-class bodyguards, and Hongyi's heir, Yongyao, was actually the second son of Hongyi. Among the descendants of these two branches, there were ten people, most of whom were also civil and military officials such as bodyguards and pen-and-post styles. Zaiji was a cabinet attendant during the Guangxu period. When I searched for Mr. Jinyi, the great-grandson of Zaiji, when I asked about the ancestral house of Hongyi, I got a reply at Xinjiekou or near the Factory Bridge, and it turned out that Mr. Feng Qili had also inspected it.
At present, I am still enriching the "Search for the Descendants of Aisin Kyora", and the known descendants of Yun Zhi have changed their surnames to "Jin", "Zhao", "Han" and so on. I will continue to look for historical information and continuations related to the Yoon Hoi clan.
