During the Qing Dynasty, the biggest thing involved in politics was the seizure of the nine sons during the Kangxi Dynasty, and many princes participated in the struggle for the throne this time, but the final losers were more miserable. But there were also a few princes who were reused by the next emperor because of this, such as the Seventeenth Brother Yunli. Yun Li was born in the 36th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, his mother was Chunyu Qinfei Chen, and in the late Kangxi period, he was very fond of the Han concubines.
Although Concubine Qin was a palace girl, she was very beautiful, so she was eventually able to be favored by Kangxi as a concubine of the harem. According to historical records, we can know that when Yun Li was young, he was very popular with Kangxi, he often followed his father on tour, and after he reached the age of marriage, Kangxi also attached great importance to his marriage. When the other princes were competing for the throne, because he was relatively young and his mother's status was not high, he did not participate in it, which was why he could be reused by Yongzheng.
According to historical records, we know that Yunli had a teacher named Aling'a, who was the younger brother of Empress Xiaozhao and was always used by the Kangxi Emperor, so Kangxi gave his daughter to Yunli. The family of Alinga was of a very high status in the Qing Dynasty, and was a famous family of the Niuhulu clan, and some more famous figures appeared in both the former dynasty and the harem. However, there is no record of the time when Yun Li became a relative in history, so we speculate that the time should be fifty years after the Kangxi Dynasty.
After the death of Kangxi, Yongzheng inherited the throne, and after he ascended the throne, he began to clean up the power of the imperial court, giving great weight to those who did not participate in the conquest and support him, of which Yunli was made the king of Guojun. Yun Li has always been very attentive to the affairs of the country, and the payment at home is much less. Moreover, after he got married, the NiuHulu clan never gave birth to him a child, and as for the other concubines, they did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, only the Meng clan gave birth to two children, but they all died one after another.
Many people said that he had no heirs because his body was too weak, and he did not have an heir until Yongzheng's death. Before his death, Yongzheng secretly made Hongli the crown prince, and also let Yunli and Yinlu assist him, of course, Qianlong had always had great respect for these two imperial uncles, giving them double the number of FengLu, and even exempting both of them from kneeling.
However, sometimes the authority of the Son of Heaven really can not be challenged, according to historical records, after Yun Li was exempted from kneeling, his double hand was exempted because of this matter, this matter made Yun Li very confused, and his legs have always been disabled, in the third year of Qianlong, Yun Li died, before he died he was still lamenting that he should not believe in the forgiveness of the Son of Heaven.
In addition to this incident, there was also a thing that made him very regretful, that is, before his death, there was no offspring to inherit his title, so it was very likely that his lineage would be extinct. However, Qianlong was still good to him in this matter, and gave his son Hongzhan to Yunli, but perhaps they did not expect it, because Hongyao made a mistake and was finally cut off from the title, and did not recover until his death.
