As time flowed, the situation at the Dongbei frontier kept reaching the capital, bringing with it a continuous stream of panicked refugees.
The rent in the capital has increased substantially, and many more people are hurrying toward the capital.
From within the carriage, the Retired Emperor looked out at the streets, noting how some small vendors were gone, with the most common sight being carriages entering the capital, "Hmm."
Zhou Shuren said, "Recently, there have been many spies stirring up the common folk in Dongbei, which has already sparked a chain reaction."
The Retired Emperor turned, "This is the incompetence of the parental officials."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, how capable must a parental official be to stabilize panic? Even with advanced information technology today it is impossible, let alone in ancient times when information was inconvenient, "The parental officials in each state of Dongbei have also done their best."
