Biography
Yongxing was a son of the Chinese Emperor. He believed very strongly that Celestials should be kept in the royal family, enough to take on Lung Tien Lien even though it was believed she was cursed. He had very strong anti-western sentiments also. For these two reasons he was strongly against Temeraire serving in the Aerial Corps. He planned to use Temeraire in his plot to overthrow the Emperor and set up a government more in line with his thinking.
Yongxing attempted to have William Laurence murdered several times, which was ultimately his downfall. Temeraire was so enraged that he started a fight with Lien and Yongxing was accidentally killed in the ensuing chaos.
