Does the power idol Eight Immortals really exist in history? Who is the prototype?

If you list the prestige rankings of people in Song Dynasty, the Eight Immortals must be among the top ten? Although it has been verified by many people that the Eight Kings did not exist, they were just a fictional character who mixed the characteristics of two members of the royal family in the early Song Dynasty. This character is an extremely important spectator and power idol in the stories, plays and even TV series of Yang Jiajiang or Bao Qingtian.

In other words, Grandpa Eight is handsome, noble, upright, elegant and humorous, and most of the time he is in a state of being aloof and disregarding. And then the former hero of justice? Such as Bao's adult, Zhan Zhao, or, in the face of the villain's difficulties, the sovereign will certainly stand up and escort the protagonist with the golden hoop stick that hit the traitor's head.

Zhao, the king in the story, is the fourth son according to Zhao's records in history. The first record of imperial clan:? Zhao Kuangyin's four sons: Chang's second son, Yan Gu's second son and Qin Wang's second son. Xiu De and Linde both died young. When Hui Zong was born, he was given a name and a king's seal. ?

Zhao, the king of Qin in history, is not recorded in many historical books, but it is said that he was almost made a prince, but his uncle Taizong finally acceded to the throne. As far as several passages in the history books are concerned, he was appointed as the national defense envoy of Guizhou in the ninth year of Kaibao (976), that is, at the age of seventeen. In that year 10, father Zhao Kuangyin died, uncle Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, and the title was changed to Taiping Xingguo. At that time, Zhao was awarded Xingyuan Seal and Shannan West Road our time, with the same chapter. In the winter of three years, I added the inspector.

However, in March of the sixth year of Taiping Xingguo (98 1), he died of illness at the age of 23. Many people think that his death may not be simple. This is why some people felt sad when his sixth grandson, Song Xiaozong, ascended the throne. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and heaven will be reincarnated? Reason. One of his descendants is very famous. It is estimated that anyone who knows a little about ancient calligraphy and painting knows that it is his tenth generation grandson? Zhao Mengfu.

It's a little far-fetched, not to mention that Yang Ye was still alive when Zhao, the king of Qin, was alive. This short resume is not enough for him to become an old fox who can wander between imperial power and courtiers without pressure. Besides, he never lived in the Tang Taizong dynasty, let alone was active in the Renzong court.

One of the most important characteristics of the Eight Sages King is the golden hoop he always holds in his arms when he is in court. It is also said that this golden mace was given by Mao to his second son, Zhao Dezhao. Zhao Dezhao is Zhao Fangde's second brother. The history book says: Can't you show your joy? . Besides Zhao Guangyi, he is the first heir to the throne. Zhao Guangyi acceded to the throne, was dubbed? King of Wugong County? . However, Taizong was quite afraid of this nephew.

In the fourth year of Taiping and Xingguo (979), Taizong took Zhao Dezhao to Youzhou. One day, Emperor Taizong suddenly disappeared, and the ministers were frightened. So? Is there anyone who seeks virtue? . Later, Emperor Taizong returned to the military camp and was very dissatisfied. After returning to North Korea, when Zhao Dezhao offered to reward his achievements, Emperor Taizong was furious. It is never too late to reward yourself! ? That's Zhao Dezhao's irony: It's not too late to repay your achievements when you become emperor. ? So Zhao Dezhao, under the suspicion of Emperor Taizong, had to die from scratch. At this time, Taizong caressed the body and cried, How can a fool be so evil! ?

Both Zhao Dezhao who died for a reasonable reason and Zhao who died suddenly for no reason have one thing in common: they have the right to inherit the throne, but their youth died suddenly. However, neither of them was named the Eight Immortals King or lived in Taizong Dynasty, so the two candidates only provided the name of the Eight Immortals King and some personality characteristics. So who is most likely to be the Eight Immortals King?

Many people think that Wang may be the eighth son of Taizong and his eighth uncle Zhao. It is said that Zhao seems to be the favorite son of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. He was not released from the palace until he was twenty years old, and was called by the palace because he ranked eighth? 28 Pacific insurance? . In other words, the image of this prince in Song history and Song people's note novels means that ghosts and gods have abdicated.

This seemingly serious prince loves reading and collecting books, and is good at writing the calligraphy of the two kings, especially at flying white. ? Painted cranes and bamboos, with snow on the top of Mao Dan, convey the warning gesture; The frost of green leaves is full of smoke. ? Therefore, it is not surprising that the Zhao royal family did have artistic talent and produced people like Hui Zong and Zhao Mengfu.

When Injong ascended the throne, Queen Liu came to the DPRK, so Zhao, who was favored by young people at that time, claimed that he had mental problems and was idle at home. After Injong took office, he respected this uncle Wang very much. All the requests made by the eight monarchs were answered in person. In the third year, when Zhao was ill, Injong also went to the bedroom. Hand mixed medicine? . The History of Song Dynasty records two people? How much advice will you give people after a long time? .

From this point of view, the so-called Eight Immortals King probably worked for the king in the name of Chair Zhao Zhao. As a result, everyone only remembered the Eight Immortals and forgot the Eight Kings? This is also due to the unfortunate reminders of novelists of past dynasties who visited those who sympathized with the German generation and were robbed of the throne. As a result, they wrote, let this real eight kings? Bury? After a thousand years, I don't know if this is lucky or unfortunate.

However, perhaps this sovereign will not care about this vague and confused account at all.
