He is the 24th son of Taizu and his tomb was recently excavated. The king enjoyed his title and land from 1408 until 1414 due to his early death. This caused his line to be extinguished. Local folklore explains that the offering hall of King Ying’s tomb stood until the Sino-Japanese war when it was destroyed for resources like lumber. Left behind is an impressive mound with fragments of green-glazed tile work which hints to the now gone splendor of the site.
