旻寧 Mínníng
Biography
宣宗效天符運立中體正至文聖武智勇仁慈儉勤孝敏寬定成皇帝，諱旻寧，仁宗次子。母孝淑睿皇后，乾隆四十七年八月初十日，生上於擷芳殿。幼好學，從編修秦承業、檢討萬承風先後受讀。又與禮部右侍郎汪廷珍、翰林侍讀學士徐頲朝夕講論。
乾隆五十六年八月，高宗行圍威遜格爾，上引弓獲鹿，高宗大喜，賜黃馬褂、花翎。嘉慶元年，娶孝穆成皇后。四年四月戊戌，仁宗遵建儲家法，親書上名，緘藏鐍匣。十三年正月，孝穆成皇后薨，繼娶孝慎成皇后。
十八年九月，從幸秋獮木蘭，上先還京師，而教匪林清党犯闕之變作。是月，戊寅，賊入內右門，至養心殿南，欲北竄。上御槍斃二賊，餘賊潰散，亂始平。飛章上聞。仁宗欣慰，封上為智親王，號所禦槍曰「威烈」。諭內閣曰：「忠孝兼備，豈容稍靳恩施。」上謙沖不自滿假，謝恩奏言：「事在倉猝，又無禦賊之人，勢不由己，事後愈思愈恐。」其不矜不伐如此。
二十五年秋七年，仁宗秋獮熱河，上隨扈。戊寅，仁宗不豫，己卯，大漸，御前大臣賽沖阿、索特納木多布齋，軍機大臣托津、戴均元、盧廕溥、文孚，總管內務府禧恩、和世泰公啟鐍匣，宣示嘉慶四年御書，立上為皇太子。仁宗崩，即日奉大行皇帝梓宮回京。辛巳，尊母后為皇太后，晉封惇郡王綿愷為惇親王，綿愉為惠郡王。癸未，奉皇太后懿旨：「大行皇帝龍馭上賓，皇次子智親王仁孝聰睿，英武端醇，見隨行在，自當上膺付讬，撫馭黎元。但恐倉卒之中，大行皇帝未及明諭，而皇次子秉性謙沖，予所深知。為降諭旨，傳諭留京王大臣，馳寄皇次子，即正尊位。」上奉懿旨，恭摺覆奏，並將御前大臣等啟鐍匣所藏嘉慶四年四月立皇太子硃諭進呈。召在籍翰林院侍講秦承業來京。
Xuanzong, Emperor Cheng (full posthumous title: Xiaotian Fuyun Lizhong Tizheng Zhiwen Shengwu Zhiyong Renci Jianqin Xiaomin Kuanding Cheng Huangdi), personal name Minning, was the second son of Renzong. His mother was Empress Xiaoshurui. On the tenth day of the eighth month of the forty-seventh year of Qianlong, she bore the emperor in the Xiefang Hall. As a child he loved learning, and studied in turn under the Compiler Qin Chengye and the Corrector Wan Chengfeng. He also discussed learning morning and evening with Wang Tingzhen, Right Vice Minister of Rites, and Xu Ting, Reader-in-waiting of the Hanlin Academy. Edit
In the eighth month of the fifty-sixth year of Qianlong, when Gaozong was hunting at Weixunge'er, the emperor drew his bow and took a deer. Gaozong was delighted and gave him a yellow riding jacket and a peacock feather. In the first year of Jiaqing he married Empress Xiaomucheng. In the fourth year, the fourth month, on wuxu, Renzong, following the house law on naming an heir, wrote the emperor's name in his own hand and sealed it away in a locked casket. In the first month of the thirteenth year, Empress Xiaomucheng died, and he then married Empress Xiaoshencheng. Edit
In the ninth month of the eighteenth year, he accompanied the autumn hunt at Mulan; he had gone back to the capital ahead, when the outbreak came in which the followers of the sectarian bandit Lin Qing attacked the palace. That month, on wuyin, the bandits entered the Inner Right Gate and reached the south side of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, meaning to break through to the north. The emperor shot two of the bandits dead with a musket, the remaining bandits scattered, and the disorder was at last put down. A report was sent in haste to the throne. Renzong was gratified and made the emperor Prince Zhi of the First Rank, naming the musket he had used "Weilie" [Awesome Valour]. He instructed the Grand Secretariat: "He has both loyalty and filial piety; how could We be the least sparing in Our favour?" The emperor was modest and did not think highly of himself; in his memorial of thanks he said: "It happened all of a sudden, and there was no one else to resist the bandits; I could not help myself, and the more I think of it afterward, the more afraid I am." So free was he of pride and boasting. Edit
In the autumn of the twenty-fifth year, the seventh month, Renzong went on the autumn hunt at Rehe, and the emperor attended him. On wuyin, Renzong was unwell; on jimao, he grew gravely ill. The Ministers of the Imperial Presence Saichong'a and Suotenamuduobuzhai, the Grand Councillors Tuojin, Dai Junyuan, Lu Yinpu and Wenfu, and the Comptrollers of the Imperial Household Department Xi'en and Heshitai together opened the locked casket and proclaimed the document written in the emperor's own hand in the fourth year of Jiaqing, making the emperor Crown Prince. Renzong died, and that same day the coffin of the late emperor was escorted back to the capital. On xinsi, the emperor honoured his mother as the Empress Dowager, raised Miankai, Prince Dun of the Second Rank, to Prince Dun of the First Rank, and made Mianyu Prince Hui of the Second Rank. On guiwei, there came a decree of the Empress Dowager: "The late emperor has ascended on the dragon to be a guest on high. The emperor's second son, Prince Zhi of the First Rank, is humane, filial, intelligent and wise, heroic, martial, upright and pure, and is now with the travelling court; he should naturally receive the charge entrusted to him and rule and care for the people. But I fear that in the haste of the moment the late emperor may not have had time to make his wishes plain, and the second son is modest by nature, as I know well. I therefore send down this decree, to be passed to the princes and ministers left in the capital and sent with all speed to the emperor's second son, that he take the throne at once." The emperor, having received the decree, replied respectfully in a memorial, and presented the vermilion edict of the fourth month of the fourth year of Jiaqing making him Crown Prince, which the Ministers of the Imperial Presence and the others had taken from the locked casket. Qin Chengye, Expositor of the Hanlin Academy, then at his home, was summoned to the capital. Edit

In the second year of Xianfeng, in the second month, on renzi, he was buried at the Muling mausoleum. Edit
The appraisal says: Xuanzong, with his virtue of reverence and frugality and his breadth of tolerance and kindness, was a worthy ruler for an age of preserving what had been won. Men from afar came to trade, quarrels arose and war broke out. Compared with the troubles caused by the Rong and Di in earlier dynasties, it was indeed of a different kind. The ministers in charge first handled it rashly and harshly, then followed with fear and timidity, and so left the emperor anxieties that kept him toiling from dawn to night. This is what is meant by having a ruler but no ministers, who could go along with his wishes but could not correct and save. The peril of the state began here. Alas, how sad! Edit
