Life

Kangxi era

Yunti was born "Yinzhen" (胤禎 Yìnzhēn) in the Aisin Gioro clan as the 14th son of the Kangxi Emperor. His mother was Empress Xiaogongren, who also bore the Yongzheng Emperor. As Yunti's birth name "Yinzhen" was similar to that of his fourth brother, Yinzhen (胤禛), it was changed to "Yinti" (胤禵).

In 1709, Yinti was granted the title of a beizi. In 1718, after Dzungar forces defeated a Qing army along the Salween River in Tibet, the Kangxi Emperor appointed Yinti as "Great General Who Pacifies the Frontier" (撫遠大將軍) to lead an army of 300,000 into Tibet to attack the Dzungars and their leader, Tsewang Rabtan. It was believed that this was a sign that the Kangxi Emperor was considering Yinti as a potential heir to his throne. In February 1720, Yinti ordered his deputies Galbi and Yanxin to set out from Xining to take Lhasa, while he remained in Xining to build up support with their Mongol allies and then escort the Seventh Dalai Lama to Lhasa. On 24 September 1720, Yinti's army captured Lhasa and returned the Dalai Lama to the Potala Palace.

Yongzheng era

On 21 December 1722, just as Yinti was planning for a conquest of the Dzungar Khanate, he received news of the Kangxi Emperor's death and was immediately summoned back to the capital, Beijing, to attend his father's funeral. His fourth brother, Yinzhen, succeeded their father and became historically known as the Yongzheng Emperor. Yinti and his brothers had to change the character Yin (胤) in their names to Yun (允) to avoid naming taboo, because the reigning emperor's personal name contained the character Yin.

In 1723, Yunti was promoted from beizi to junwang (second-rank prince). However, in the following year, he was demoted back to beizi. The Yongzheng Emperor perceived Yunti as a potential threat to his throne, so he stripped Yunti of his beizi title in 1725 and placed him under house arrest at Shouhuang Palace, in the present-day Jingshan Park.

Qianlong era

In 1735, the Yongzheng Emperor died and was succeeded by his fourth son Hongli, who became historically known as the Qianlong Emperor. The Qianlong Emperor released Yunti in the same year after his coronation. In 1737, Yunti was restored to the ranks of nobility as a fuguo gong (a lesser duke). Ten years later, in 1747, he was promoted to beile. In 1748, he was further promoted back to junwang and granted the title "Prince Xun of the Second Rank" (恂郡王).

Yunti died on 16 February 1755 and was posthumously honoured as Prince Xunqin of the Second Rank (恂勤郡王). The Prince Xun peerage was inherited by his second son, Hongming (弘明; 1705–1767), who became a beile in 1735.

生平

康熙二十七年正月九日酉時出生。康熙三十二年四月二十日，內務府總管瑪思喀等為議處選阿哥奶母不合之官員事的題本記載，康熙二十八年七月，合格之婦十九人集合於內務府總管衙門，由兆祥所眾祖母擠奶驗看，後選得奶好無味之巴圖妻子等四名引見，退十五名奶不好且有瘡有味的婦人回各自佐領、管領。奉皇太后懿旨，選松喜管領下閒散披甲巴圖之馬年二十四歲漢人妻給龍年所生之阿哥餵奶，旺建管領下護軍莫希納之羊年二十三歲漢人妻預備。

康熙四十七年（1708年）九月，聖祖盛怒責罵皇八子胤禩企圖謀害廢太子胤礽之位，胤禵跪奏曰：「八阿哥無此心，臣等願保之！」聖祖因極度憤怒而欲用佩刀誅殺胤禵，諸皇子叩首懇求，聖祖命諸皇子撻胤禵。

康熙四十八年三月，封為固山貝子。康熙五十二年，胤禵分家。康熙五十七年十月十二日，聖祖因深知他有帶兵才能而命其任撫遠大將軍王（聖祖曾面諭「大將軍王是我皇子」），征討出兵進攻西藏之準噶爾大汗策妄阿喇布坦。為提高胤禵的威信，康熙帝允許胤禵使用王級別的旗纛和待遇，並且是皇帝所屬的正黃旗之旗纛。並要求各旗貴族要派嫡子參軍。聖祖又親自到堂子行禮。根據《雍正會典》的記載，康熙年間每逢聖駕親征，皇帝都要去堂子行三跪九叩之禮，而則命王及大臣等為大將軍或將軍領兵出征時不會到堂子行禮，可以說是有讓胤禵代為親征」的意思。

胤禵能夠擁有「大將軍王」的稱呼與他擔任撫遠大將軍有關，但不是每位撫遠大將軍都能獲得「大將軍王」的稱呼。胤禵不是唯一的「撫遠大將軍」，但他是清朝歷史上唯一的「大將軍王」。「大將軍王」不是王爵。終康熙一朝，胤禵的最高爵位始終是固山貝子，即十四貝子，卻享受著王的待遇。

康熙五十八年四月十六日，胤禵在奏摺中向聖祖報稱他已恭謹接受了聖祖設計的火鐮荷包與鼻煙壺、諸式荷包與筆墨，以及聖祖佩戴之千里眼鏡等物；同時為他的長子弘春及大女縣主等蒙受聖祖仁恩與恩賞之事而謝恩。同年五月初四日晚上，聖祖恩賞式樣新穎之香袋八件、乳餅一匣、烤鱒魚片、細鱗白魚片二匣及幾種棗子一匣予胤禵。翌日恰逢端午節，胤禵將麝香袋賜諸子各一件，諸子均愉悅地佩帶，其後胤禵再將食物均與宗室大臣等一起品嘗。同年六月二十一日，聖祖賞恩之御扇二把、細白鱗魚、鱒魚、棗子及畫扇等共二皮箱之物均妥善送予胤禵。

康熙五十九年正月初八日，理藩院員外郎常明珠攜來聖祖賞之盛京野豬一頭，胤禎將盛京之物攜至塔爾寺予青海眾人品嘗。 同年二月，胤禎因聖祖萬壽吉日之事而將祝賀書寫之阿玉希佛經一套、壽碗及壽麵等物交付太監白鎮世謹貢。 同年四月二十二日，胤禎奏稱他依照了往年萬歲誕辰至四月初八吉日之例，繕寫藥石經一套，跟隨奏報恭進，聖祖硃批曰「寫得好」。

康熙六十年八月二十日，胤禎因聖祖親督裝遣之熱河大榛子及木蘭之鹿尾等物抵達而謝恩，同時感慨自己汛地三年期間未親隨聖祖圍獵。

康熙六十一年十一月十四日（1722年12月21日），剛登極的雍正帝召撫遠大將軍兼固山貝子允禵馳驛入臨，限二十四日內抵京。同年十二月十七日（1723年1月23日），自西寧返京，叩謁梓宮。雍正元年四月三日（1723年5月7日），奉雍正帝之命移駐馬蘭峪以東的湯山，守護康熙帝陵寢。同年四月六日（1723年5月10日），革除祿米。同年五月封為多羅郡王，並未賜予封號和給予俸銀，注名黃冊仍稱固山貝子。

雍正三年十二月四日，革去多羅郡王，降授固山貝子。雍正四年四月，革去固山貝子，與其子禁錮于景山壽皇殿側。乾隆元年，皇四子寶親王弘曆即位，命釋之。乾隆二年（1737年），允禵被封為奉恩輔國公。乾隆十二年六月初四日，十四叔允禵著封為多羅貝勒，照常上朝。同年十月二十二日，賜十四叔貝勒允禵在紫禁城內騎馬。乾隆十三年正月，封為多羅恂郡王。乾隆二十年正月六日寅刻去世，諡勤。
