Yunli (24 March 1697 – 21 March 1738),born Yinli,formally known as Prince Guo ,was a Manchu prince of the Qing dynasty.
Yinli was born in the Aisin Gioro clan as the 17th son of the Kangxi Emperor. His mother was Consort Qin (勤妃),a Han Chinese with the family name Chen.
Consort Qin was also known as Consort Chunyuqin (純裕勤太妃). The Chen family were originally Han baoyi of the Imperial Household Department's Bordered Yellow banner. It was Qing court protocol to put any non-Manchu consort and her close male relatives like brothers and cousins into a Manchu banner if they were a Han bannermen. Chen and her brothers and cousins were put into the Manchu Yellow Bordered Banner effectively changing their ethnicity from Han to Manchu in the eyes of the Qing court. Their surname was Manchurized from Chen to Chenjia (陳佳). Gao Bin (高斌) who was from another Han family that was put intothe same Manchu banner married another woman from the Chen clan.
Yinli excelled in academics since childhood. Unlike most of his brothers,he was never involved in any of the struggles for succession to the throne. He was intelligent and cautious,and had his share of political achievements. He was also good in calligraphy and poetry. He also enjoyed touring the country and had visited almost all the famous mountains in Sichuan.
In 1722,Yinli's fourth brother,Yinzhen,ascended the throne after the death of their father,and became historically known as the Yongzheng Emperor. Yinli changed his name to "Yunli" (允禮) to avoid naming taboo because the Chinese character for "Yin" (胤) in "Yinli" is the same as the one in the Yongzheng Emperor's personal name,Yinzhen (胤禛). In April that year,Yunli was granted the title "Prince Guo of the Second Rank" (多羅果郡王) and placed in charge of administering the institution of scholars. In 1725,Yunli was awarded a higher allowance for honesty and diligence. In February 1728,he was promoted to "Prince Guo of the First Rank" (果親王). He was later appointed to the Grand Council [1] and given greater responsibilities,such as escorting the Dalai Lama back to Tibet and inspecting military forces stationed along the route. Yunli was known to be a patron and scholar of Tibetan Buddhism.
When the Yongzheng Emperor became seriously ill,Yunli was tasked with supporting the heir to the throne,Hongli. The Yongzheng Emperor died in 1735 and was succeeded by Hongli,who became historically known as the Qianlong Emperor. During the Qianlong Emperor's reign,Yunli was empowered with more authority and given more duties with commensurate recognition.
Yunli died in 1739 at the age of 41. He had two children (a son and a daughter) but both of them died prematurely. His princely title was inherited by Hongyan (弘瞻),the Yongzheng Emperor's sixth son,who was adopted as Yunli's heir.

Yunti, born Yinzhen and also known as Yinti before 1722, formally known as Prince Xun, was a Manchu prince and military general of the Qing dynasty. He was trusted by his father, the emperor Kangxi, to lead the imperial forces against the dynasty's greatest threat of the time, the Dzungar Khanate. He proved a successful and popular military leader. He was later imprisoned by the new emperor, who was his full-blood brother – Yongzheng. Yongzheng suppressed the evidences of Yinti's accomplishments and also possible evidences of his right to the throne.
Yunreng, born Yinreng, was a Manchu prince of the Qing dynasty. He was the second among the Kangxi Emperor's sons to survive into adulthood and was designated as Crown Prince for two terms between 1675 and 1712 before being deposed. He was posthumously honoured as Prince Limi of the First Rank.
Yinxiang, formally known as Prince Yi, was a Manchu prince of the Qing dynasty. The thirteenth son of the Kangxi Emperor, Yinxiang was a major ally of his brother Yinzhen during the latter's struggle for the succession of the throne. He was made a qinwang during Yongzheng's reign and became one of his closest advisors. He died eight years into the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor and was memorialized with top honours by the emperor.
