Among the sons of the Kangxi Emperor, there were fifteen older princes, and the mothers of these seventeen older princes also had higher ranks in the palace, and of these seventeen older princes, there were eight of them who were more well-known in history, and among the eight more well-known older princes, included Yunli.
The reason for Yunli's high popularity is because in the TV series Zhen Huan's biography, Wang Yunli of Guojun county has a handsome appearance and talent, coupled with his deep affection for Zhen Huan, which has captured the hearts of many people. However, after all, film and television dramas are only film and television dramas, which does not mean that they are real historical things, the two cannot be confused, first of all, let's talk about the knighthood, the TV series has always called Yunli the king of Guojun, but the real history of Yunli is indeed the prince of Guo, although they are all princes, but it is a level of difference, the prince's title is higher than the knighthood of the county king.
Regarding the love story of Wang Yunli and Zhen Huan in Guojun, it does not exist in real history, let alone the fact that the two have children, so what kind of person is Yunli in real history? What was his ending?
YunLi was born in 1697 AD, when Yunli's father, the Kangxi Emperor, was forty-three years old, in his prime, Yunli's mother Chen Shi was originally a palace daughter of the draft, and later after giving birth to Yunli, she was given the title of Qin Concubine, and after the Yongzheng Emperor succeeded to the throne, the Qin Concubine Chen Shijin was made the Imperial Concubine, which represented the qin concubine of her father, the Kangxi Emperor.
Father Kangxi Emperor attaches great importance to the education of the princes, for these princes the study requirements are also very strict, the Kangxi Emperor requires each prince to learn Manchu Chinese characters and calligraphy, but also familiar with the scriptures and good at riding and shooting, so that each prince is both literate and martial.
Yunli got a good education from an early age, coupled with the nature of indifferent fame and fortune, so that Yunli did not participate in the struggle for the throne of his brothers, although Yunli did not participate in the struggle for imperial power, but Yunli was not idle at all, Yunli spent all his thoughts on studying Buddhist scriptures and translating Tibetan masterpieces, because Ofnicol's learning was quite high, some of the literati who had status at that time had a lot of contacts with Yunli, but Yunli did not have any titles by his father, the Kangxi Emperor, until the death of his father, the Kangxi Emperor.
Although Yunli did not receive any title from his father, the Kangxi Emperor, he was highly used by the fourth brother Yongzheng Emperor after the fourth brother Yinchen succeeded to the throne, Andying Li was made the king of Dorogo County by the fourth brother Yongzheng Emperor, and later appointed Yunli as the Mongolian capital with the yellow banner, and also served as the han army with the blue flag, and then later appointed by the fourth brother Yongzheng Emperor as the red flag Manchurian capital, at this time at the same time, both the Mongolian capital with the yellow flag and the Han army with the blue flag, and Yunli was also in a large-scale sacrifice. He was specially allowed by the fourth brother Yongzheng Emperor to replace the emperor, and later the fourth brother Yongzheng Emperor also ordered the Zongrenfu to distribute the county prince of Yunli according to the treatment of the prince, which shows the Yongzheng Emperor's heavy use of Yunli.
Not only that, but the fourth brother, the Yongzheng Emperor, later made Yunli a prince, and at the same time appointed Yunli as the Mongolian capital with a blue flag, and since then, the Mongolian capital with the yellow flag and the Han army with the blue flag, as well as the Manchurian capital with the red flag, plus the Mongolian capital with the blue flag, are all served by YunLi.
After the death of the fourth brother Yongzheng Emperor, Prince Hongli of Bao succeeded to the throne, known as the Qianlong Emperor, and gave Yunli's mother, Chen, the insignia of Chunyu Qinfei, and gave Yunli Yongxiang the Prince of Shuanglu, or ordered Yunli to exempt him from prostrating when summoned, and also ordered Yunli to manage both the affairs of the Punishment Department and the ZongrenFu.
In 1738, Yunli died at the age of forty-two, after Yunli's death, the Qianlong Emperor also ordered his eldest son Yong Huang to go to Wear Filial Piety, and gave Yunli a sacrifice, giving Yunli yi the title of Yunliyi, Yunli only had two Fujin in his lifetime, one was NiuHulu, one was Mengshi, Andufu Jin Niuhulu did not have a son and a half daughter with Yunli, but the side Fujin Mengshi and Yunli had a son and a daughter, but the only son of this only son died after only two years of age, and there were no children after that.
After Yunli's death, Yunli's brother Yunlu, the Prince of Zhuang, asked the Qianlong Emperor to pass on Hongyao to Prince Guoyunli, and was approved by the Qianlong Emperor, so the Qianlong Emperor passed on his father, The Yongzheng Emperor's youngest son, Hongyao, to Prince Guoyun, whose mother was Concubine Liu, who was born in the Yuanmingyuan, also known as the Yuanmingyuan Brother, and Hongyao, because his stepfather Yunli was trusted and valued by the emperor before his death, plus the prince's double hand, made Prince Guo's property more, plus he inherited the title of the prince of the county at a young age. As a result, Hongyao gradually became a clumsy disciple, who did not care about the government and politics, but did a lot of things that violated the law of etiquette.
In the end, Hongyao was punished by the Qianlong Emperor, the Qianlong Emperor demoted Hongyao to Belle, and deposed all the official positions of Hongyao, was punished for three years, Hongyao was dismissed from his post, from then on he was depressed and reclusive, and later he fell ill, and when Hongyao was seriously ill, the Qianlong Emperor also personally went to visit the sick, and Hongyao prostrated himself to the Qianlong Emperor on the sickbed, and the Qianlong Emperor was deeply affected, and said:
I punished you slightly because you were young to change your temper, and I did not expect that you would be so seriously ill because of it.
After that, the Qianlong Emperor ordered the restoration of Hongyao's title of county prince, but Hongyao did not enjoy it a few days before he died, he was only thirty-three years old at the age of thirty-three, after Hongyao's death, the title was inherited by Hongyao's only son, Yongyao, because Prince Guo's title Yunli was not eligible for hereditary titles, so the princeship of Prince Guo's prince Yunli was demoted from Hongyao, yongyao still maintained the title of county prince because of special permission, from Yongyao, the title was lowered in turn, and this title of Prince Guo was passed on for a total of ten generations, until the end of the Guangxu period.
Prince Guo's life can be described as smooth sailing, and the ending is also relatively good among all the sons of the Kangxi Emperor, and the reason why Prince Guo's Prince Yunli can be reused by two generations of emperors and has a better ending is because of Yunli's solid heart for the country and clean conduct.
