Tsonghapa. The Yongzheng emperor needed to improve his image of a protector of
the Yellow Church.”
However, the much later events convinced the Qianlong #z emperor to change
the policy aimed at maintaining the incarnation lineage of the Jebtsundamba Khutugtus
within the family of the Tiishiyetii Khans. In 1755 Erinéindorji, a son of Dondubdorji
by the Manchu princess was executed by offering him to commit suicide.’ Though
his brother the Second Jebtsundamba Khutugtu urged the Mongol princes to abstain
from open rebellion, his own position during these turbulent events was dubious. This
lead to a drastic change in Manchu policy towards searching for the new incarnations
of the Jebtsundamba Khutugtus. The Qianlong Emperor ordered that in the future they
should “reborn” in Tibet thus having no connection to the princely families of Khalkha
Mongolia. This rule was observed until the end of the Qing dynasty and all the later
Jebtsundamba Khutugtus were ethnic Tibetans.
