Biography

OriginalEnglish

端慧太子永璉

端慧太子永璉，高宗第二子。乾隆三年十月，殤，年九歲。十一月，諭曰：「永璉乃皇后所生，朕之嫡子，聰明貴重，氣宇不凡。皇考命名，隱示承宗器之意。朕御極後，恪守成式，親書密旨，召諸大臣藏於乾清宮「正大光明」榜後，是雖未冊立，已命為皇太子矣。今既薨逝，一切典禮用皇太子儀注行。」旋冊贈皇太子，諡端慧。

Yonglian, Crown Prince Duanhui

Yonglian, Crown Prince Duanhui, was the second son of Gaozong. In the tenth month of the third year of Qianlong he died young, aged nine. In the eleventh month an edict said: "Yonglian was born of the Empress and was Our son by the principal wife; he was intelligent and of great worth, and his bearing was out of the ordinary. The late emperor Our father, in naming him, quietly showed the intention that he should carry on the ancestral line. After We came to the throne, We faithfully kept the established practice: We wrote a secret edict in Our own hand and, having summoned the high ministers, had it placed behind the tablet 'Upright and Bright' in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. So although he had not been formally installed, he had already been named Crown Prince. Now that he has died, all the ceremonies shall follow the rites for a Crown Prince." Soon afterwards he was posthumously invested as Crown Prince, with the posthumous name Duanhui. Edit
