The ninth son, Zhao Gou, hastily ascended the throne in Nanjing Yingtian (present-day Shangqiu). His ministers hoped that this renowned new emperor would lead his army against the Jin invaders. But just three months later, Zhao Gou began his escape southward. However, upon his departure, the Emperor plunged headfirst into a well at the Mingdao Palace in Bozhou, and upon emerging, he recognized no one! “I will fight the Jin! But where are my trusted followers?” This was the heartfelt cry of a soul nine hundred years later.
