Born in A.D. 108 1 year, he was a scholar. During the period of Song Zongwei and Song Qinzong, he held important positions such as Shang Shu You Cheng, Zuo Cheng and Zhongshu Assistant Minister, which won the trust of the imperial court at that time.
In A.D. 1 127, the Jin army of the Jin Dynasty came menacingly and surrounded Kaifeng city with the intention of capturing Kaifeng. Seeing that the tide was gone, Zhang Bangchang suggested to Song Qinzong to make peace with the State of Jin, and took himself, Zhao Gou and Kang Wang as hostages to enter the State of Jin.
In the same year, the Jin people formally captured the capital of song dynasty, and sent Song and court officials back to the state of Jin. Knowing Zhang Bangchang's influence in the Song Dynasty, the Jin people put Zhang Bangchang on the throne of the emperor, and changed the title to Da Chu, with Jinling as its capital.
But Zhang Bangchang didn't want to be emperor, so Jin people bullied Zhang Bangchang. If on the seventh day, before he ascended the throne, all the ministers were killed and the capital of song dynasty was destroyed. Zhang Bangchang was forced to sit on the throne of the emperor.
Zhang Bangchang has only been in the throne for 32 days, which is the famous "Jingkang Change" in history.
After withdrawing troops from the rulers, Zhang Bangchang immediately took off his royal robes and abolished the name of the emperor. He usually doesn't dare to be in the main hall when dealing with state affairs, or even dare to call himself me. Instead, he claimed to be "giving" and did not let the DPRK ministers bow down. It is very cautious.
I'm afraid Song will punish themselves when they come back. Later, as a hostage, Zhao Gou returned to the Song Dynasty. Seeing Queen Kang, Zhang Bangchang knelt down in awe and explained that he was afraid that Kang Wang would put him to death.
Soon, Zhao Gou ascended the throne in Yingtianfu, and made suggestions and made Song Gaozong, and named Zhang Bangchang a teacher and a Pacific Insurance.
Not long after, Zhang Bangchang was accused by the DPRK ministers for scandals such as life problems. Song Gaozong originally wanted to pardon Zhang Bangchang's achievements, but he could not quell the anger of ministers.
In addition, the Queen Mother Meng has always held a grudge against Zhang Bangchang's behavior. Zhao Gou had no choice but to commit suicide by hanging Zhang Bangchang on trumped-up charges, thus ending Zhang Bangchang's life.
Later generations have different views on Zhang Bangchang. Some people say that Zhang Bangchang is a traitor, others say that he is a villain, and some even say that Zhang Bangchang's death is an eternal injustice.
The view that he is a traitor is that after he ascended the throne, he knew that his throne was supported by Jin people, not elected by ministers, so he was hypocritical to ministers when he first ascended the throne.
Always show a humble attitude, with the intention of winning people's hearts and stabilizing their own "Jiangshan".
Not only that, Zhang Bangchang wanted to grant amnesty to the whole world, but Lu Haowen flatly refused: "Now the capital is occupied by the nomads from outside the city. For Zhang Bangchang, how to grant amnesty to the world is quite embarrassing.
The designation of Zhang Bangchang as a traitor is nothing more than appeasing the minister, saying that he was forced to do nothing but actively cooperate with Jin's actions. In fact, he just wants to stabilize his throne, which is the evaluation of most people.
Some people think that it is unfair to rashly identify Zhang Bangchang as a traitor, which is historically unfair, because Zhang Bangchang has been forced from beginning to end and has never done anything to betray the country. He is not so much a traitor as a villain.
