What was the end of the succession prince of the Qing Dynasty

Although as a prince, his status is high and low, the difference between his descendants, and whether he is favored by the emperor or not will affect his life, and even some princes are regarded as "decorations" as soon as they are born, and they spend their lives in obscurity.

There are also some princes who have been passed on to the prince because of political needs, although they are no longer princes in the patriarchal sense, but they still have the blood of the emperor in their blood, which is different from ordinary clan members.

Of the 12 emperors of the Qing Dynasty, the last three had no heirs, and a total of 113 princes were born, six of whom were passed out. This article will take you to understand these princes who have passed away.

Yunlu was the nephew of Prince Zhuang Bo Guoduo, and was ordered by Emperor Kangxi to be in charge of everything in Bo Guoduo's later years. Although Bogoduo had a wealthy family, he had only two daughters and no sons to inherit his wealth and status.

When Bogodor fell ill in his later years, his own nephews wanted his property and were indifferent to his illness. This made Emperor Kangxi very dissatisfied, and he ordered Yunlu to take charge of everything in Boguoduo, which also implied that Emperor Kangxi hoped that Yunlu could become the heir of Prince Zhuang.

1.Prince Zhuang Yunlu inherited Bo Guoduo, and was secretly helped by Kangxi's will and Yongzheng. During the Qianlong period, he was designated as the hereditary iron hat king, and changed from a distant branch clan to a close branch clan.

2.Hongyu inherited Prince Guo's Yunli, and Emperor Qianlong regarded it as his own and specially invited famous teachers to educate. Yunli supported Yinzhen in the incident of the nine sons, so Yinzhen succeeded to the throne and was named the king of Guojun and entrusted with important tasks.

Prince Yunliguo, Yongzheng was enthroned in the sixth year, concurrently served as the commander of the four banners, and became the minister of Gu Ming in the thirteenth year. However, his son died young, and there was no queen behind him. Prince Zhuang Yunlu wrote a letter requesting that Hongyu be passed over, and Emperor Qianlong allowed it, and Hongyu inherited the king of Guojun at the age of six and became the youngest prince.

In the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong, Yongying succeeded the king of Shenjun Yunxi, and the king of Shenjing was the son of Kangxi in his later years, and he was young and unsealed. After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Yunxi successively named Beizi, Baylor, and Shenjun Wang, and was obsessed with poetry, calligraphy and painting.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, King Yunxi of Shenjun died of a sudden illness, and although he had two sons, unfortunately, both of them died before him, so no one was able to inherit his entire estate.

In order to show his kindness to the members of the clan, Emperor Qianlong decided to pass his sixth son Yongying to Yunxi as his heir, and demoted him to Baylor.

However, Yongying did not sink because of this, but was promoted in later years, first as the prince of Dorozhi and then as the prince of Heshuo.

Yonghui is the fourth son of Emperor Qianlong, he was born in the fourth year of Qianlong (1739), and was succeeded to Prince Yunqi as the heir in the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong.

Yun Qi is the 12th son of Emperor Kangxi, he was handed over by Emperor Kangxi to Su Mala to raise when he was a child, and under the careful teaching of Su Malagu, he developed a character of being contented and happy with the world.

Although among Kangxi's many older princes, Yunqi did not participate in the incident of the nine sons seizing the heir, but later Emperor Yongzheng found a reason to reduce his title. However, Yun Yan still worked diligently, so he survived the Yongzheng Dynasty peacefully.

Yun Qi was seriously ill, and Emperor Qianlong visited the mansion in person and cared for his condition with all his heart. Yun Qi died at the age of 77, Emperor Qianlong arranged a grand funeral for him, and the prince Hongday, the fifth son of the emperor Yongqi wore filial piety clothes to preside over the funeral, the fourth son of the emperor Yonghui wore heavy filial piety for Yun Qi to send off, and then held filial piety for 100 days, which is to follow the traditional filial piety of filial piety.

Although Yunqi had 6 sons, they all died before him, and the eldest of them only lived to be 12 years old, so Emperor Qianlong passed on his fourth son Yonghui to Yunqi as his heir.

This fully reflects Emperor Qianlong's filial piety and care for his family.

Yi Cheng died in the eighteenth year of Daoguang at the age of forty-four. Since his only son died when he was five years old, there was no one to inherit all his property and titles after his death.

Although Yi Cheng is a prince, he has a rough personality since he was a child, acts recklessly, and is not good at reading, plus his appearance is ugly and his language is vulgar, so he has not been loved by Emperor Daoguang since he was a child.

This point is very similar to his third uncle Miankai. In the twenty-sixth year of Daoguang, Emperor Daoguang decided to pass on Yi Cheng to Miankai as his heir, but Yi Cheng still enjoyed the treatment of a prince, and he was the first of all the princes to be crowned king at that time.

Later, when Cixi took power, Yi Cheng also gave her a headache. Hirotoki's succession is different from the five princes mentioned above. He was passed on to Prince Lian Yinxi, not because no one could inherit all his property and titles when the prince died, but because he and Yinxi were related.

Emperor Yongzheng's third son, Hongshi, was dissatisfied with Emperor Yongzheng because of his young and indulgent behavior, his carelessness, and his close relationship with his political opponent Yinxi. After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he began to crack down on his political opponents.

However, Hongshi did not understand the reason, and even pleaded with Emperor Yongzheng, which led Yongzheng to directly succeed him to his political rival Yun Yu and cut off his clan status.

Therefore, the emperor passed the princes not only to inherit the incense for the childless princes, but for political purposes, in order to stabilize the imperial power and the court.

On the one hand, doing so can strengthen the control of the royal family; On the other hand, the succession of his own prince is also to retain the lineage name of the title to show respect for the family lineage, which is also the emperor's policy of gentleness.
