Yun'e
Yun'e (28 November 1683 – 18 October 1741), born Yin'e, was a Manchu prince of the Qing dynasty of China. He was a relatively unremarkable prince who was primarily known to be a crony of his older brother Yunsi. Life Born in the Aisin Gioro clan, Yin'e was the tenth son of the Kangxi Emperor. His mother was Noble Consort Wenxi (溫僖貴妃) from the Niohuru clan. Apart from the Crown Prince Yinreng, Yin'e had the most prestigious maternal family background among the Kangxi Emperor's sons. His maternal grandfather, Ebilun, served as one of the Four Regents to the Kangxi Emperor when the emperor was still underage. Besides, Yin'e's maternal aunt, Empress Xiaozhaoren, was the second empress consort of the Kangxi Emperor. Despite his background, Yin'e was not one of the most outstanding among the Kangxi Emperor's sons. In 1709, Yin'e was made a ''junwang'' (second-rank prince) under the title "Prince Dun of the Second Rank" (多羅敦郡王). In 1722, the Kangxi Emperor died a ...

He suppressed the Revolt of the Three Feudatories, forced the Kingdom of Tungning in Taiwan and assorted Mongol rebels in the North and Northwest to submit to Qing rule, and blocked Tsarist R ...
