Modern Era
A wave of and  would come to greatly affect Son politics following the defeat in the Son-Jeongmian War of 1888 and War of Son Containment in 1890. The Xininzhi (lit. 'new imperial' 新英制) Faction would begin to gain prominence among the civil government as well as younger officers of the Imperial Military. The Black Sash Purges of the 1890s would be an attempt by the military government in Zenjin to remove the Inzhi faction from government, seeing their push to radically centralize the government and reinstate the office of the Emperor as the center of state affairs and transition the Son Imperial Government from a military government to a civil government. Internal contention between the several factions in government would culminate in the Jiahin Restoration in 1901 - which would see the Xininzhi Faction organize a coup against the military government and restore power to the civil government under the Thabin Emperor.

The Xininzhi government would quickly work to consolidate the restored civil rule, purging competing factions from the government and the military. The Imperial Restoration Society was created in 1902 as an organization which was tasked with further solidifying the rule of the Emperor initially through and the centralization of various government agencies into ministers but later through organs such as the Imperial Military Police and various  organizations.
