Yinhu

Aisin Gioro Yunhu (允祜; 10 January 1712 – 12 February 1744), born Yinhu, was an imperial prince during the Qing Dynasty. He was a son of the Kangxi Emperor and held the title of Prince of the Third Rank. Yunhu was the 32nd son of Kangxi and the 22nd to reach adulthood.

Yinhu was born on 10 January 1712, corresponding to the third day of December in the 51st year of Kangxi's reign. His father was Xuanye, the Kangxi Emperor, and his mother was Imperial Consort Jin. Following the ascension of his elder brother Yinzhen to the throne as the Yongzheng Emperor, Yinhu's name was changed to Yunhu.

In 1730, during the eighth year of Yongzheng’s reign, Yunhu was granted the title of Prince of the Third Rank. Four years later, in 1734, he was awarded the title of Prince Jin of the Third Rank. The Qing court recorded that in 1738, an official named Sun Jiagan reported that Yunhu’s manor stored an abundance of tributes, leading to a trial at the Imperial Clan Court; however, Yunhu retained his princely title thereafter.

Yunhu died in 1743, in the ninth year of the reign of the Qianlong Emperor. Posthumously, he was granted the title of Prince Gongqin of the Third Rank.

Family relations of Yunhu include a primary consort from the Irgen Gioro clan, the first primary consort, with whom he fathered at least three children: his first son, Prince Honglong (b. 1727), and two daughters, the first of whom married Mabao of the Magiya clan, and the second married Jalafungga of the Ulanghan clan.

His second primary consort was from the Uya clan, and they had children including Hongsong (1743–1777), who held the title of Hereditary General of the First Rank, and Hongfeng (1744–1803), a Hereditary General of the Second Rank.

Yunhu also had several concubines. One mistress from the Cheng clan bore him a son, Ruibao (1742–1745). Other mistresses included women from the Yang and Liu clans, with whom he fathered additional children. These children included a second son born in 1729 and a daughter born in 1733.

Yunhu’s titles and family lineage reflect the Qing imperial practices of rank and marriage alliances among the Manchu nobility.
