Ok, first a couple of questions:
First off, do you have the v. 1.16 patch? If not, that's part of the problem, because it lowers corruption.
Second, just so I'm sure, you are playing on the standard world map that comes with the game? If so, I know the map well. If not, then no biggy, but I'll need a better idea of exactly where certain things are.
Third, moving your capitol will be tough (unless you have a leader). How far is the forbidden palace from your current capitol, and how important are the cities near your capitol? That's usually the core of your empire. The forbidden's effects on corruption are just like that of the palace, so if it's close enough, most of the cities will remain productive.
THIS IS KEY - What government are you using? Republic and Democracy, particularly democracy, have the lowest corruption.
Courthouses lower corruption, and later so do Police Stations.
Also, "We love the King Day" helps vs. corruption. WLTKD requires a city of at least size 6, with all 6 citizens happy...or at least half of them, with no unhappy faces. Whatever, it should be in the manual. Once it is in WLTKD for 1 full turn, you will notice a good-sized drop in shield loss.
Hope this helps.
