Jinli III

Jinli III was the third emperor of the Houzhu dynasty, reigning from 6233 until his death in 6239. Considered to be a capable, moderate figure like his father and grandfather, he was, nevertheless, controversial in his lifetime due to the fact that his mother was a full-blooded Keintapan. Many of his enemies at court, particularly the ultraconservative wing of the Hegemonists, the Authoritists, detested him and saw him as a Keintapan usurper on Kensalus. His suspicious death in 6239 was likely an assassination masterminded by his half-brother and successor Mu Ji, who was supported by the Authoritists. However, Jinli's grandson, the great Emperor and general Tianmei, avenged him when revolutionaries forced him to accept the throne in 6292.
