Yongzheng's longest-lived brother, who was capable but had no interest in the throne, was reused by Qianlong in his 70s
Kangxi had a long life expectancy and gave birth to many sons. However, many of them died prematurely, and 24 grew up. It has to be said that the Qing court provided a good education for these princes, and most of them were very talented. But it was also because of this that in the middle and late years of Kangxi, a fierce "nine sons and wives" broke out. In the end, the victorious Yongzheng brutally persecuted his former competitors, and the kangxi princes generally did not live long. Among them, the one who lived the longest was the twelve sons of the emperor, Yin Qi, who was not very famous.
Su Ma Lagu was the most legendary maid in the Qing Palace, she was originally the dowry maid of Empress Xiaozhuang, however, she was far-sighted, knowledgeable, proficient in the three languages of Manchu, Mongolian and Han, she was also Kangxi's enlightenment teacher, which had an important role in promoting the formation of Kangxi's entire world view, and in Kangxi's heart, Su Ma Lagu's status was not much lower than that of Xiaozhuang. Therefore, when Xiaozhuang died, seeing that Su Ma Lagu was living a lonely life, Kangxi handed over his newborn son, Yin Qi, to Su Ma Lagu for care.
Under the teachings of Su Ma Lagu, he became a very intelligent and politically minded prince, he did things, he would never bend the law for personal gain, and the tasks he completed many times were very complete, and he cleverly avoided the battle for the wife. After Yongzheng succeeded in taking the concubine, Yin Qi was still the object of suspicion, but only from the king of the county to the shell, Yongzheng once again restored the title of king of the county in the eighth year, thirteen years of the meeting, and was again named a prince.
Later, Qianlong succeeded to the throne, and he also had a good feeling for this uncle, and the Qing History Manuscript records that after four years of Qianlong, important ceremonies such as the annual sacrifice of the heavens were performed by the Yin Qi Emperor; after six years of Qianlong, if the emperor wanted to go out to visit the mountains and rivers or something, he would leave Yin Qi to supervise the country. If it were not for 100% trust in Qianlong, he would never have made such an arrangement. Yin Qi lived until the age of 78, died in Qianlong twenty-eight years, and was a rare prince among Yongzheng's half-brothers.
