Emperor Aizong of Jin heard his personal guard report that the Nanchu army had broken into the Imperial Palace. He shouted angrily at the guard, "Stop talking utter nonsense! How could the Nanchu army appear here? It must be some thugs gathering the rabble just to demand some absurd explanation!"
However, seeing more and more of the Imperial Guard and Forbidden Army covered in blood as they squeezed into the inner court of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Aizong finally believed what the guard had said.
At this moment, a blood-soaked commander of the Imperial Guard ran up to Emperor Aizong and said, "Your Majesty, quickly follow your subordinate and retreat through the secret passage in the back courtyard of the Imperial Palace! Otherwise, it will be too late!"
