Aisin-Gioro Mian'en (定恭親王 綿恩; 18 September 1747 – 18 July 1822) was Qing dynasty imperial prince and the second son of Yonghuang.
Life[]
Mian'en was born on 18 September 1747 to lady Irgen Gioro, Yonghuang's secondary consort. Mian'en showed high potential in martial arts in the childhood, thus was favoured by the Qianlong Emperor.[1] In 1755, he received a yellow horse-riding jacket at the age of eight. According to the relation of Choson Korean ambassadors, Mian'en had more abilities than his younger uncle, Yongyan.[2] According to the relations of Prince Li, Zhaolian, Mian'en was a specialist in weapons at the age of 50.[3]
He inherited the peerage as the Prince of the Second Rank after the demotion of Miande in 1776.[4] In 1793, he was promoted to the Prince of the First Rank, thus became the earliest promoted imperial grandson.[5] In 1799, Mian'en was one of the initiators of the general control of Heshen's property after the official was denounced. Heshen's relatives contradicted him by defending official's deeds.[6] In 1803, Mian'en gave approval to imperial guards on the Gate of Divine Prowess. His son was granted a title of the fourth-ranking prince shortly after the incindent. Mian'en died on 18 July 1822 and was granted posthumous title of Prince Dinggong of the First Rank (定恭亲王， meaning "stable and reverent").
