錫保 Xībǎo

Xibao, grandson of Lekedehun

His son Xibao succeeded him. In the third year of Yongzheng he was put in charge of the Imperial Clan Court and served in the Inner Court. In the fourth year an edict said: "Xibao, Prince Shuncheng of the Second Rank, is a man of outstanding ability, a worthy prince who serves the state with a true heart; he may be given the stipend of a Prince of the First Rank." He was made Lieutenant-General. He was found guilty of covering up the crimes of the Beile Yanxin and not impeaching him, and also of delays in the arrest and trial, and was stripped of the stipend of a Prince of the First Rank and demoted to Left Clan Supervisor. In the third month of the seventh year, when the army went against Ga'erdan Celing, Xibao was ordered to act with the seal of the General Who Displays Martial Might, and was stationed with the army at A'ertai. In the ninth year, because Xibao had been diligent in commanding the army, the emperor raised him to Prince Shuncheng of the First Rank and ordered him to hold Chahansou'er. Ga'erdan Celing sent his generals Da Celing Dunduobu, Xiao Celing Dunduobu and Duo'erji Danba to invade Kebuduo; they halted at the Kelulun and raided the pastures of the Ka'erka. The Mongol Prince of the First Rank Celeng and others joined forces to intercept them, and sent the taiji Bahai into Da Celing Dunduobu's camp by night to offer battle; he killed their general Kala Batulu, and Da Celing Dunduobu and the others fled home by way of Habutake Baidake. Xibao reported this in a memorial and received an edict of praise. In the eleventh month he was appointed Grand General Who Quiets Distant Lands. In the seventh month of the tenth year Celeng and others defeated the enemy at E'erdeni Zhao. In the eleventh year he memorialised asking to build a walled town at Wuliyasutai, and this was approved. Soon afterward, because he did not go to the rescue when Ga'erdan Celing's troops crossed Ke'ersen Qilao, he was removed as Grand General and stripped of his rank. Edit
