Is there really a "Eight Immortals King" in history?
When you say "Eight Immortals", if you mean the last years of Kangxi and the early years of Yongzheng, I can explain.

1, the exact source of the word "Eight Immortals King" is the fabrication of February River's novel "Yongzheng Dynasty, Kowloon seized the office", with the purpose of rendering the novel readable. Boss Huang is really capable in history, but he doesn't have the title.

2. Historically, due to the sudden position of Yongzheng, his first uncle Long Keduo was also a sensitive position of the Nine Magistrates, which gave people at that time and later generations a chance to give full play to their imagination. In order to clear his name, Yongzheng was forced to publish white-washed books such as The Record of Great Righteousness, which gave people more imagination. But Yongzheng never announced the name of the Eight Immortals.

3. Yongzheng's character is insidious, and most of the appointed ministers are cruel officials who use punishment at every turn, especially in combating corruption. At that time, all the speakers were intellectuals, who held the wealth of the country. Yongzheng offended these people, and naturally he would not leave a good reputation. So people created an Eight Immortals King.
