"What?"
Yin Zhao suddenly stood up from the dragon throne, his face instantly turning from anxious to pale.
His body shook violently, and he pointed at His Highness. His lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"His Majesty!"
"Quickly call the imperial physician!"
The hall was suddenly in chaos!
The eunuchs and palace maids hurried forward to support him, and the ministers were terrified. They looked at each other with despair and fear in their eyes.
The country is in crisis and the Tartars are right before our eyes. Now even the Western Capital has been occupied by the rebels, who are openly declaring themselves emperor!
It's like adding insult to injury!
Is Dayin’s kingdom really going to end?
He waited for the throne for thirty years, but as soon as he ascended the throne, he became the last emperor. This is even more unfair than Dou E!
Yin Zhao was taken to the back hall for emergency treatment. It took him a long time to regain consciousness. His face was as pale as gold paper and his breath was barely perceptible.
"Traitor...traitor..." he muttered, but there was only endless fear and confusion in his eyes.
Cui Kaiji, Gu Dingming, Chen Xiong and other important officials gathered around the couch, all with pale faces.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"
Cui Kaiji burst into tears, "Now we are facing internal and external troubles, and we still need Your Majesty to make a decision!"
"Ideas...what other ideas can I have..."
Yin Zhao closed his eyes in despair and said weakly, "Can the capital... still be defended? What's the point of having this emperor...?"
"Why not move the capital?"
"Yes, I will temporarily go on a southern tour of Nanjing. I will first use the natural barrier of the Yangtze River to hold off the Tartars, and then I will slowly plan to return to the capital!"
Cui Kaiji and Gu Dingming all urged Yin Zhao to move the capital.
"Yes, move the capital! Why didn't I think of that?"
Yin Zhao's withered eyes suddenly brightened up, "My two lords, make arrangements quickly!"
However, the news of the capital relocation could not be blocked at all and soon spread throughout the capital.
The emperor was so spineless that his ministers were in a panic.
For a time, the rich and powerful in the capital were completely panicked.
When the Tartars approached, there was still a glimmer of hope that the imperial court could hold on or negotiate peace.
Now that Xijing has fallen, the rebel emperor has proclaimed himself emperor, and the new emperor has moved the capital, the last bit of hope has been shattered.
Countless carriages and horses began to rush frantically towards the city gates, and the wealthy families, carrying their families and belongings, tried to escape from the capital that was about to be engulfed by war.
The guards at the city gate tried to stop them, but they were unable to stop the panicked crowd. Many of the guards themselves even wanted to leave, and order was almost broken down.
The capital, the center of the empire, is already in a precarious situation and may collapse at any time.
