Little Swallow is lively and cheerful, Ziwei is knowledgeable, and Erkang Yushu is close to the wind, especially Yongqi is not only civil and military, but also handsome. He is the favorite son of Emperor Qianlong. The most important thing is to have a deep love for Little Swallow. Qi is tall, rich and handsome, while Xiao Yanzi is a Cinderella married into a wealthy family and becomes a white swan. Later, the five elder brothers abandoned the glory and wealth, and were willing to live an ordinary life with the little swallows.
In fact, in official history, the fifth elder brother Yongqi exists. He is a very famous prince in the Qing Dynasty. He is as good as the image portrayed in TV series, but the ending is very different from that in TV series.
Fifth elder brother Yongqi's life experience
Aixinjueluo Yongqi (1741-1766), the fifth son of Emperor Qianlong, also known as the fifth elder brother, the birth mother of the royal concubine Corriet, also known as Haijia, The prototype of Hailan in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, Haijia's birth status is not high, her father is just a member of the Wailang.
During the Yongzheng period, when Qianlong had not ascended the throne, he entered the residence of the Prince of Treasure (Hongli) as Gege. Gege was a relatively low-status concubine at the time. The month when Qianlong ascended the throne, the Haijia family was named Haichang In the second year of Qianlong, he was promoted to Haigui.
Since then, Hai Guiren has not been promoted until she gave birth to the fifth son Yongqi. In the sixth year of Qianlong (1741), the 27-year-old Haigui gave birth to the fifth son, Aixinjueluo Yongqi, who was promoted from Haijia. Speed and the age at which he gave birth can infer that she is not favored.
Haijia was named Yu concubine when he gave birth to Yongqi. Four years later, he was named Yu concubine. He stayed in the concubine for forty-seven years. Until his death, he was posthumously named Yu concubine.
The fifth elder brother is both civil and military
The fifth elder brother in "Huan Zhuge Ge" is both civil and military, and the fifth elder brother in official history is also all-rounder. Let’s first look at his literary accomplishments. He is knowledgeable and proficient in the three languages of Manchu, Han and Mongolian. He is good at writing poetry and calligraphy.

Fifth elder brother was deeply loved by Qianlong
Fifth elder brother Yongqi was just born, because his biological mother Yufei was not favored, and the rest of her son was disliked, Qianlong naturally did not pay much attention to this son. We mentioned earlier that Yufei did not. Most favored is because her natal family has no power, and her father is just a foreigner (from the fifth grade). In this case, Wu elder brother naturally cannot get much help from her mother's family.
However, the weakness of his mother's family did not have much impact on Yong Qi's growth, but instead made him a talented man with both civil and military skills. It is precisely because of Yongqi's versatility and filial piety that he was deeply loved by Emperor Qianlong, because these were promoted and practiced by Emperor Qianlong. In the eyes of Emperor Qianlong, Yongqi had the potential to become a generation of emperors, so he Begin to cultivate Yong Qi carefully and let him preside over some national official activities, such as sacrifices and condolences.
There was a saying in the ancients: "Mothers depend on the sons to be expensive." Yu Bi was originally not liked by Qianlong. Because of Yong Qi, Qianlong changed her view of her, and Yu Yu, who was from a humble background, was promoted to Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu's mother and son made Qianlong Lord look different, all thanks to Yong Qi's outstanding talents.
Yong Qi passed away young and passed the position of the prince
Emperor Qianlong deliberately cultivated Yong Qi, but he did not make up his mind to establish a reserve. A fire completely inspired the idea of a reserve. Dragon Boat Festival of the year.
On the fifth day of May in the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong (1763), this day is a happy day for everyone, regardless of the princeClan and common people must gather together, even today’s emperor is no exception. On this day, Qianlong brought his younger brother, prince Hongzhou, son Yongqi and a group of people to the Qingyan Palace in Yuanmingyuan to hold a Dragon Boat Festival. Zhenggao, suddenly the Qingyan Palace was on fire, and the fire blazed into the sky. Everyone fled. Qianlong was trapped in the Qingyan Palace. At this time, Hong Zhou was frightened by the fire. It was at a loss. It was not difficult to understand. Hong Zhou was 52 years old. , The body may not be very good, and want to save his brother Qianlong, but also lack of energy.
At the critical moment, 22-year-old Yong Qi rushed into the fire regardless of the danger of his life, and personally carried Qianlong out of the fire and saved his father's life. It was because of Yong Qi’s death that he saved his life and left Qianlong behind. deep impression.
In the eyes of Lord Qianlong, his brother Hongzhou was not saved by his death, which made him feel sad. His son Yongqi's rescue made him feel comfortable. After the fire incident, Qianlong severely criticized Hongzhou and his son Yongqi's performance. It was full of praise, and felt that Yongqi would be a good emperor who is benevolent and caring for the people in the future, so Qianlong moved the idea of making him a prince.
In November of the 30th year of Qianlong (1765), Qianlong named Yongqi, who was rescued by the fire and rescued his father, as Prince He Shuorong. Among the many sons of Qianlong, only three enjoyed the title of Prince during his lifetime. One was Prince He Shuocheng. Yongzheng, the other is Heshuojia Prince Yongyan (later Jiaqing Emperor), the latter two were crowned kings in the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong, 14 years later than Yongqi, Yongqi was the first to enjoy The prince of the prince.
and "Rong" is very noble, and generally the most favored princes are eligible to enjoy it. In the history of the Qing Dynasty, there is also a prince of Glory, the son of Concubine Dong E, the favorite of Emperor Shunzhi. Originally, the Emperor Shunzhi wanted to call him the crown prince, but his mother did not agree, so he was named the Prince He Shuorong.
It can be seen that the Lord Qianlong respected Yong Qi. Unfortunately, when Yong Qi was crowned the king, he suffered from bone ulcers, which did not heal for a long time. He died on March 8th of the following year (1766) at the age of 25. .
Conclusion
Yongqi is Qianlong's favorite prince and the best among his many sons. Yongqi is not dead, and Emperor Jiaqing may have no play to sing.
