History
After Tang San kills the fourth prince, Xue Beng, the empire seeks an explanation from him and Tang Hao. Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, impersonated by Qian Renxue, demands Tang San's loyalty and Tang Hao's service as a guardian Douluo; Tang San refuses 226. Later, Zu Zong represents the empire in negotiations with the Clear Sky Sect and returns with its apology and a declaration excluding Tang Hao, Tang San, and their descendants from the sect 306 320.
Qian Renxue ascends the throne as Xue Qinghe and begins reforms intended to strengthen imperial authority, weaken the nobility, benefit commoners, and abolish slavery. Zu Zong uses his Sharingan to secure nobles' cooperation. Kingdoms and duchies within the empire subsequently request reintegration as provinces, allowing the government to take control of their administration and military forces 451.
