Death of Zhang Bangchang

In the second year of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin invaded Bianjing. In order to protect themselves, the officials elected Prime Minister Zhang Bangchang, who was imprisoned in the Jin camp, as the puppet emperor. When he refused, the whole city knelt down and begged; when he agreed, no one testified. A human anatomy novel about "collective blame-shifting" - when everyone said "there was no way", the person who shouldered the "nothing" for everyone became the only sinner. The novel describes the calculations of people's hearts, the destruction of promises, and how an honest man was killed by the conspiracy of fate and "friends".
