Yongzheng Emperor

"The seditious rebels claim that we are the rulers of Manchuria and only later penetrated central China to become its rulers. Their prejudices concerning the division of their and our country have caused many vitriolic falsehoods. What these rebels have not understood is the fact that Manchuria is for the Manchus the same as the birthplace is for the people of the central plain. Shun belonged to the Eastern Yi, and King Wen to the Western Yi. Does this fact diminish their virtues? ()"

""朕以外國之君,主中國之事." (I am a barbarian foreign monarch, ruling China)"

"...谓本朝以满洲之君，入为中国之主... (I am an emperor of Manchu, become the master of all China.)"
