Going to the court: Zhenggezhuang is 20 kilometers away from the capital. It is inconvenient for King Li to wait for the court in the capital. Except for listening to the announcement and rushing to the capital to go to the court when he ascends the hall, he goes to the court once a month and shoots arrows once a month. free.On the first day of the first lunar month, when the halls saluted, entered the table, and offered sacrifices to various altars and temples, Li Wang Hongxi came and allocated a house for the king to stay.

Access Control: When the city gates are opened during abnormal hours, the city guards will record them, list them at the end of the year, and report to the Zongren Mansion for record. Scale: According to calculations in the literature, there are 1,323 residences for garrison officers and soldiers in total, including Zhengjiazhuang’s palace, palace, and officers’ and soldiers’ buildings.There are 345 errands in the palace. If each person is allocated two houses, 690 houses will be needed.There are 151 rooms in Hewang Mansion, and there should be more than 2,000 houses. Management: The palace is managed by Chang Shi (manages the palace) and Chengshou Weiwei (manages the garrison).If there are any vacancies in the guards and officials of King Li, the Chief of the Palace Shi will ask for an order to make up for them; if the guards, officials, Baitang A, eunuchs, etc. who accompanied Li Wang Hongxi to live there ask for leave due to business, they will be informed to the Chief of the Palace Shi and the Queen of Chengshou. If he is sent away and does not return within the time limit, he will state the reason, and if there is any concealment, the city guard will participate in the history of the chief of the palace and the person who handles government affairs.

First, on a regular basis: Qin Tianjian chooses an auspicious day, and requests that the relocation time be set at Maoshi (5-7 o'clock) on September 20, the first year of Yongzheng (1723). Second, farewell: The day before the housewarming, Li Wang Hongxi and his Fujin entered the palace to greet Emperor Yongzheng and bid farewell. Third, etiquette: set up a guard of honor for the king of the county, and the elder brothers who are senior and married among the brothers of the king of Li will see him off.Before King Li and Fujin, 4 wives from the inner management, 6 women from Guozizheng, and 10 women from Guozi were sent to accompany them, 1 member of the guard army, and 20 guards from the inner palace were sent to lead the way.

Fourth, send off: Send one guard, 2 ministers, 2 ministers, 20 guards, 1 head of the House of Internal Affairs, and 10 officials of the House of Internal Affairs to see him off. Fifth, clothing: see off elder brother, ministers, bodyguards, officials, etc., all wearing brocade robes and patch coats.

Seventh, welcome: As usual, send a married couple of seniors belonging to the inner government to go to the new home one day to wait. The king arrives and goes out to welcome and pray for blessings.

Eighth, return: the food prepared for the dinner table and the pastry table is for Li Wang, Fujin, etc. to eat.After Xie En has finished eating, the elder brother, ministers, guards, officials, etc. sent to him can return. On September 20, the first year of Yongzheng (October 18, 1723), the family of Wang Hongxi of Lijun moved to Zhenggezhuang Palace.In May of the eighth year of Yongzheng (1730), Hong Xi was granted the title of Prince Li. "Manuscripts of Qing History Six Kings" wrote "Six years, Hong Xi entered the title of prince", which is wrong; it should be the eighth year of Yongzheng.Because "Registration of Daily Life in Yongzheng Dynasty", "Records of Emperor Shizong of Qing Dynasty", "Biao of Enfeng Clan Princes" and "Tongzhi of Eight Banners" all also record that on May 28th of the eighth year of Yongzheng, Hongxi was proclaimed as prince. Therefore, the above-mentioned errors in the "Drafts of Qing History" can be proved.From then on, the Lijun Prince's Mansion in Zhenggezhuang became the Prince Li's Mansion. "Drafts of Qing History Prince's Table" records in Yu Hongxi: "In the first year of Yongzheng, he was granted the title of Prince of Li. In the sixth year, he became the Prince of Li. In the fourth year of Qianlong, he was deposed by fate." In the above three sentences, there are two mistakes and one omission: The title of Prince of Lijun was in Yiwei on November 14th in the sixty-first year of Kangxi; the prince of Jinli was in Yiwei on May 28th in the eighth year of Yongzheng; ".

In December of the second year of Yongzheng (1724), after the abolished prince Yunfeng died of illness in Xian'an Palace, he stayed in Zhenggezhuangli Wangfu.At the time of the funeral, each wing will send one member of the inner guard, two ministers of scattered ranks, and 50 guards to send the funeral to Zhenggezhuang.He also granted Yunfeng the title of Prince Heshuoli, and his posthumous posthumous title was Mi.Emperor Yongzheng wanted to go to Zhenggezhuang to pay homage in person. After being persuaded by his ministers repeatedly, he cried and mourned his second elder brother Yunfeng at the Wulong Pavilion in Xiyuan (in today's Beihai Park).Yunfeng was later buried in the King's Garden Bed (Wang Tomb) in Huanghua Mountain, Jixian County, ending his 51-year life of ups and downs.But the battle for the throne because of him is still going on.
