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 and was succeeded by his fourth son, Yinzhen, who became historically known as the Yongzheng Emperor. To avoid naming taboo, the emperor's brothers had to change the character Yin (胤) in their names to Yun (允). Yin'e was thus renamed "Yun'e". In 1724, the Yongzheng Emperor accused Yun'e of siding with his eighth brother, Yunsi, who was one of the emperor's rivals in the power struggle over the succession to their father's throne. Yun'e was stripped of his princely title and placed under house arrest.

Yun'e was released after the Qianlong Emperor came to the throne in 1735. The emperor rehabilitated Yun'e and restored him as a fuguo gong. Yun'e died of illness in 1741 and was given a funeral befitting a beizi.

Former residence

Yun'e's former residence, known as the "Prince Dun Mansion" (敦郡王府) or "Tenth Prince Mansion" (十王府), is located near the west entrance of Nanguanfang Hutong in the Shichahai area of Xicheng District, Beijing. It is located immediately due east of the Prince Gong Mansion. It is not clear if the buildings from the era still exist. It seems that the vicinity consists of commercial properties and a noodle shop.
