Gaozong, Fatian Longyun Zhicheng Xianjue Tiyuan Liji Fuwen Fenwu Qinming Xiaoci Shensheng Chun Huangdi, whose personal name was Hongli, was the fourth son of Shizong. His mother was Empress Xiaoshengxian. He was born on the thirteenth day of the eighth month of the fiftieth year of Kangxi, in the residence of the Prince Yong of the First Rank. He had a high-bridged nose and a tall figure. Shengzu saw him and loved him dearly, and had him study in the palace, where he was taught by the Hanlin bachelor Fumin and could recite whatever he had read once. He also learned archery from the Beile Yunxi and firearms from Yunlu, Prince Zhuang of the First Rank. When he followed the autumn hunt at Mulan, Shengzu ordered a guardsman to lead him to shoot a bear. He had just mounted his horse when the bear suddenly reared up. He held his reins, perfectly calm. Shengzu killed the bear with his own gun. Back in the army tent, Shengzu turned and said to the Imperial Dowager Consort Wenhui: "This boy has a precious and weighty destiny; his fortune will surpass mine." Edit
In the eighth month of the first year of Yongzheng, Shizong, at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, secretly wrote down his name, sealed it, and hid it behind the tablet "Upright and Bright" written by Shizu. In the fifth year he married Empress Xiaoxian, of the Fucha clan. In the eleventh year he was made Prince Bao of the First Rank. At that time the war against the Zunghars was not yet over, and there was also fighting with the Miao of Guizhou, and he was ordered to oversee military affairs and to be consulted on decisions of great policy. Edit
In the thirteenth year, the eighth month, on dinghai, Shizong was unwell. The court was then staying at the Yuanming Garden, and he and Hongzhou, Prince He of the First Rank, attended on him carefully morning and night. On wuzi, Shizong's illness grew grave, and he summoned Yunlu, Prince Zhuang of the First Rank, Yunli, Prince Guo of the First Rank, the Grand Secretaries E'ertai and Zhang Tingyu, the Chamberlains of the Imperial Bodyguard Fengsheng'e and Neqin, and the Minister of the Household and Vice Minister of Revenue Haiwang to come in and receive his last commands. On jichou, he died. The princes and high ministers asked that the late emperor be carried back to the palace. Yunlu, Prince Zhuang of the First Rank, and the others opened the sealed decree of the first year of Yongzheng naming the Crown Prince, and proclaimed that he was to take the throne as emperor. Soon an edict announced that, by the late emperor's command, Yunlu, Prince Zhuang of the First Rank, Yunli, Prince Guo of the First Rank, E'ertai and Zhang Tingyu were to assist in the government, and that E'ertai was to return to office, since he had been on leave for illness. By the late emperor's command, the emperor's mother, a consort, was honoured as the Empress Dowager, and by the Empress Dowager's decree the emperor's principal consort was made Empress. The Grand Secretary Zhu Shi was summoned back to the capital. The Grand Secretary Ji Zengyun was ordered to take overall charge of the sea-wall works of Zhejiang, and Zhao Hong'en was made acting Director-General of the Jiangnan Rivers. When the late emperor was laid in his coffin, the emperor ordered that the southern side hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity serve as his mourning hut. On gengyin, the princes and high ministers in overall charge of affairs were ordered to deliberate on observing the three years' mourning. Yuntao, Prince Lu of the Second Rank, was ordered to manage the affairs of the Ministry of Rites for the time being. Zhang Zhao was summoned back to the capital, Zhang Guangsi was put in overall charge of the affairs of the Miao territories, and the Grand Secretary Maizhu was made acting Governor-General of Huguang. The Grand General Chalang'a was instructed to be stationed at Suzhou and to direct military affairs together with Liu Yuyi, and the Grand General of the Northern Route, Fupeng, Prince Ping of the Second Rank, to hold firm. Ha Yuansheng, General Who Spreads Awe, and others were ordered to subdue and pacify the Miao territories. On guisi, the late emperor's testamentary edict was published. Edit

Relief was given to seven departments and counties of Jiangsu, Haizhou among them, for floods. On renzi, the Crown Prince, the princes, the dukes, the civil and military high officials at the capital and in the provinces, and the Mongol princes and dukes each memorialised, pleading that the ceremony of returning the government be held only after the emperor reached the age of a hundred; this was not allowed. On bingchen, Fu Lehun and Yade, for the bribes they had taken as Governors-General earlier, were both stripped of office and sent, the one to Rehe and the other to Ili, to serve.

On jisi, Shuliang was sentenced to strangulation. Mingliang was kept at Urumqi to serve. On guiyou, because Fengtian, Shanxi, Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou and Guangxi had no arrears of taxes, two tenths of their regular taxes for the next year were remitted. On yihai, the fixed taxes of the previous year were remitted for six counties of Fujian, Longxi among them, and for the two counties of Huafeng and Luoxi, for floods. Edit
In the winter, the tenth month, on the first day, wuyin, the calendar for the first year of Jiaqing was issued. On gengchen, Fu Kang'an and others reported the capture of the bandit leader Wu Bansheng. Fu Kang'an's son Delin was given the rank of Deputy Lieutenant-General, He Lin was given the yellow girdle, and the others were recommended for merit and rewarded in their degrees. On jiashen, because Wulana and others had been greedy and corrupt and had lost all restraint, their sons were banished to Ili. Changlin, for shielding Wulana and Pu Lin, was stripped of office and ordered to come to the capital. Kuilun was made acting Governor-General of Min-Zhe, and Yao Fen acting Governor of Fujian. On yiyou, the land and poll tax in money and grain for the first year of Jiaqing was remitted throughout the empire. On bingxu, Wulana and Pu Lin were beheaded. On renchen, because Eledengbao and Delengtai had been brave in suppressing and capturing the Miao bandits, they were made Ministers of the Imperial Household.

On gengshen, relief was given to the bannermen and commoners struck by drought in the three cities of Jinzhou, Xiongyue and Jinzhou of Fengtian and in three departments and counties, Ninghai among them, and the fixed taxes were remitted in varying degrees. On yichou, the emperor ordered the Crown Prince to live in the Palace of Abundant Blessings. Edit
In the twelfth month, on the first day, wuyin, an edict said: "After We return the government next year, in every matter written out and memorialised, 'the Supreme Emperor' shall be written. In memorials and replies in person I shall be called 'the Supreme Emperor'." On wuzi, relief was given to the refugees harassed at Tongren in Guizhou. Fu Kang'an and others reported the taking of Tianxing and other Miao stockades. On renyin, Zhu Gui was allowed to receive the memorial and tribute of the King of Britain, and an edict of praise with gifts was granted, given to the British merchant Bolang to carry back; and because his memorial spoke of urging the Gurkhas to submit, the edict told him that British troops were not needed. On jiachen, an imperial edict was granted to Shang Wen, King of Ryukyu. On dingwei, because on New Year's Day of the coming year the throne would be handed on to the Crown Prince as the succeeding emperor, officials were sent beforehand to make offerings and announce it to Heaven and Earth, the Ancestral Temple and the Altars of Land and Grain. Edit
This year Burma, Nanzhang, Siam, Annam, Britain, Ryukyu and the Gurkhas came with tribute. Edit
In the first year of Jiaqing, the first month, on the first day, wushen, the great ceremony of giving and receiving was held, and the Crown Prince was set up as emperor. The emperor was honoured as the Supreme Emperor; important affairs of the army and the state were still to be reported to him, decided under his instruction, and edicts on great matters were to be issued by him. The palace calendar used the era name Qianlong. Edit
In the winter of the third year, the emperor fell ill. In the fourth year, the first month, on renxu, he died, at the age of eighty-nine. That year, in the fourth month, on yiwei, he was given the posthumous name the Emperor Fatian Longyun Zhicheng Xianjue Tiyuan Liji Fuwen Fenwu Xiaoci Shensheng Chun, with the temple name Gaozong. In the ninth month, on gengwu, he was buried in the Yu Tomb. Edit
Appraisal: Gaozong's fortune met an age of the greatest prosperity. He strove hard to govern well, opened new lands and widened the realm, and campaigned on all sides against those who would not submit; in cultivating letters and in rousing arms, this was the height. The length of his reign matched that of Shengzu, and in years of life he surpassed him. Since the Three Dynasties there had never been the like. Only, in extreme old age, weary of his labours, he was blinded by the powerful favourites, and the brightness of his sun and moon was dimmed by it; for this one sighs. Edit
