Son of Jidu: Yabu, Prince Jianxiu of the First Rank

Yabu was the fifth son of Jidu. In the twenty-second year he inherited. In the twenty-seventh year, he was ordered to go to the Sunite lands to guard against Ga'erdan. In the twenty-ninth year, Ga'erdan penetrated deep into the land of the Wuzhumuqin, and Chang'ning, Prince Gong of the First Rank, was made Grand General Who Brings Peace to the North, with Yabu and E'zha, Prince Xin of the Second Rank, as his deputies, going out by Xifeng Pass. Soon the expedition was stopped, and an edict ordered them to go to the army of Fuquan, Prince Yu of the First Rank, and take part in the planning of military affairs. In the eighth month, they defeated Ga'erdan at Wulanbutong, and Ga'erdan fled but was not pursued to the end. When the army returned, it was deliberated that the offence of not pursuing the enemy merited the stripping of his title, but an edict fined him three years of salary. In the thirty-fifth year, he followed the emperor on the personal campaign. In the thirty-eighth year, he took charge of the affairs of the Imperial Clan Court. In the fortieth year he died and was given the posthumous name Xiu. He had fifteen sons, of whom Ya'erjiang'a and Shenbaozhu inherited the title in turn. Edit

Ya'erjiang'a was the first son of Yabu. At first he was made Heir Prince. In the forty-second year he inherited. In the fourth year of Yongzheng, an edict rebuked Ya'erjiang'a for indulging in drink and neglecting affairs and stripped his title. Shenbaozhu was the fourteenth son of Yabu. At first he was enfeoffed as General Who Guards the State. After Ya'erjiang'a was dismissed, Shizong ordered him to inherit the title. In the thirteenth year of Qianlong, an edict rebuked Shenbaozhu for acting wilfully and recklessly, so that both his eyes became clouded, and also for mistreating his elder brother's daughter, and stripped his title. Depei, a great-grandson of the beile Feiyangwu, younger brother of Ji'erhalang, inherited. Edit
