This year passed quite smoothly, with frequent good news from major clans in the Capital City, be it marriages or the joyous birth of sons. Even this year's snow in the Capital City was lighter than in previous years. The major clans gradually submitted to Xie Xun's rule, although lacking the influence of the Yuwen Dynasty, their foundational power remained unshaken, a unique influence no emperor in any dynasty could easily unsettle.
Xie Xun and Xie Jue understood the principle of extremities leading to reversals and did not continue to oppress the clans; instead, they began to favor them gradually. Thus, harmony reigned in the previous dynasty, and Beining remained very stable, except for the Twelfth States, which entered a period of disorder and hardship. After the year, the Beiman settlers entirely migrated into the Twelfth States, bringing with them a deep-seated hatred towards them.
