Life

Ba'ertu was born on 12 September 1674 to secondary princess consort Kangliang of the first rank, lady Sakda. In 1733, Ba'ertu succeeded the Prince Kang of the First Rank peerage after the death of Chong'an. [3]

In 1739, Hongxi (2nd in Prince Li of the First Rank peerage, Yunreng's son) formed a fraction together with Hongsheng (son of Prince Heng of the First Rank Yunqi), Prince Ning of the Second Rank Hongjiao (son of Prince Yi of the First Rank Yinxiang), Hongchang, Yunlu and Hongpu (son of Prince Zhuang of the First Rank Yunlu) aiming to oust Qianlong Emperor from power and support Hongxi's succession to the imperial throne.[4] The fraction failed to achieve its aim as Hongpu dispatched a messenger to report an urgent matter to the emperor, who resided at that time in Rehe. Hongpu was arrested at the Copper Wall by imperial guards.[5] After the imperial hunt, all the fractionists were temporarily imprisoned at the Imperial Clan Court, where the trial was held. One of the persons interrogating rebelliants was Ba'ertu, who was entrusted with the affairs of the imperial clan court.[6] The princes being underlings of Hongxi were stripped of their title and imprisoned (Hongxi, Hongsheng, Hongchang),[7] deprived of the allowance (Hongjiao[8]) or demoted, e.g. Hongpu, who was demoted to grace defender duke.[9] The proper decree was drafted by Ba'ertu and Zhang Tingyu, one of the most prominent officials of the Qianlong era.[10]

In 1748, Ba'ertu was sent to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to conduct sacrificial rites.[11] In 1749 and in 1751,[12] Ba'ertu was sent to Temple of Heaven to pray for harvest[13].In 1749, Ba'ertu made sacrifices at the Temple of Earth.[14] In 1752, he was dismissed of attending court sessions due to serious illness.[15] Ba'ertu died of illness at the age of 79 on 10 April 1753.
