Yun Xiangzi was knighted Prince Yi plus the second king of the county
According to the traditional regulations of the Qing Dynasty royal family, whether it is an ironclad prince or an ordinary prince, once he dies, only the eldest son has the right to inherit the title, and the rest of the children need to be assessed by the clan and awarded the corresponding title.
Generally speaking, these clan members who have passed the assessment are often lower in their first knighthood, with the most common being the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of the Auxiliary State, and the proportion of those who have obtained the title of Beizi or above is quite limited.
Among the many princes of the Qing Dynasty, the descendants of Prince Yi Yunxiang were extraordinary, and his glory surpassed the title itself. In addition to the hereditary privilege of Prince Yi, his family also includes a county king, two Baylors, and a noble princess Heshuo.
For Yunxiang, Emperor Yongzheng's love is like a surging river, and almost all the glory that can reflect the emperor's grace is awarded. In the eight years of commendation of Yongzheng, based on Yunxiang's outstanding contributions, he was additionally given the title of king of the county, allowing his heirs to inherit this honor.
Yunxiang had amazing fertility and had nine sons, but his fate was ill-fated, with five sons dying young, and some of them even failed to survive their early childhood. The remaining princes either had a short life or political twists and turns, and the ending was not satisfactory, only Hongxiao inherited the throne of Prince Yi and finally died well, witnessing the only remaining glory of the family.
In the eight-year history of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, Yun Xianggui was the king of the county, and this title was inherited by his fourth son Hongjiao and became the noble king of Ningjun. However, in the early years of Qianlong, Hongjiao was involved in a secret dispute, and his relationship with Honghui was questioned.
Fortunately, Emperor Qianlong, with his good impression of Hongjiao in the past and the blood bond between Hongjiao and Yunxiang, treated him leniently and only lightly punished, retaining his status as the king of the county.
After this incident, Hongjiao's heart was like ashes, and he chose to escape from the world and place his affection on the fun of planting chrysanthemums. After Hongjiao's death, his son Yongfu was able to inherit his father's title according to the principle of demotion and became Baylor.
Hongjiao's eldest son, Hongchang, although he was born by the Guerjia clan of the side Fujin and was the eldest son, he was not a descendant. He was named Beizi in the first year of Yongzheng, but this Hongchang had mediocre qualifications, did not like to read and ride and shoot, and had nothing to do all day long.
Although Hongchang was strictly taught by Yunxiang, he was like a stubborn stone that was difficult to open, and even the loving Yongzheng had nothing to do with him, commenting that he "has limited wisdom and is not easy to guide". In order to prevent the situation from expanding, Yunxiang proposed to imprison him.
After Yunxiang passed away, Qianlong cared about his family affection and released and restored the name of Hongchang Beizi. However, Hongchang's performance was distressing, and instead of being grateful, he conspired with Hongchang to rebel against Qianlong.
This move ruined his future, and Baylor lost his position, and he did not even get his nickname. And Yunxiang's sister-in-law, Hongjun, has been appointed as Prince Yi's ** person since he was a child, although he was only named "Chufeng" when he was young, but the 20-year-old canonization ceremony shows his noble status.
Yinghua who died early: In the sixth year of Yongzheng, the nineteen-year-old Hongjun fell, because he died before he was twenty, and he failed to be awarded the title of the son of the world during his lifetime, so he was posthumously recognized by the honorific title of Dorobelle.
If fate can be extended, Prince Yi's glory may not be owned by Hongxiao. Among Gege Yunxiang's four daughters, although the eldest daughter, the second daughter and the third daughter went before her, they were still young and became the county lord after Yongzheng ascended the throne.
Among them, the eldest daughter lived a long life, dying at the age of 74 years, and had a deep relationship with Emperor Qianlong. After Qianlong ascended the throne, he cared for this cousin, and his children were also respected, and they were promoted from guards to first- and second-class dignitaries in the imperial court.
Although Yunxiang's youngest daughter was born late, she was only seven years old when Yongzheng ascended the throne. But Yongzheng repaid the affection of his uncle and nephew in a unique way, adopting her as an adopted daughter and including her under the protection of the palace.
This strategy was one of Yongzheng's means to win over the royal nobles, and he not only raised Yunxiang's daughter, but also the six daughters of the deposed prince Yinren and the eldest daughter of Prince Zhuang Yunlu, all of whom were once honored as princesses of Heshuo.
However, Yongzheng is particularly fond of Yunxiang's youngest daughter. At the age of eighteen, she married Dorzisebouten, the son of the Khalkha Borzigit clan, and became Princess Heshuo and Hui, forming a deep bond with the royal family.
Unfortunately, Princess Kazue died young. The glory of the Yunxiang family is incomparable, their family has produced an iron hat prince, two county kings, three Baylors, and a princess, such an achievement is extremely rare among the princes of the entire Qing Dynasty, perhaps only the alcohol prince Yiyun can compare, his family has given birth to two emperors and a regent.
