Who is the oldest king in history? He lived 103 years old, and all his sons died, so he had to pass it on to his grandson.
This is Zhao Tuo, the founding emperor of South Vietnam, the oldest king in history, who lived 100 years old. In ancient times, emperors were all sons of destiny, enjoying the splendor of heaven and earth above thousands of people, which should be a long-lived group in ancient times. Actually, it's not. In the long history of more than 2,000 years, the average life expectancy of kings is only over 30 years old, and there are only seven people who can live to 70 years old.

And Zhao Tuo can live to the age of 103, which is second to none among the emperors of past dynasties. Born in 240 BC, he was the general of Qin Shihuang who unified the world. In 2 19 BC, he led 500,000 troops south and swept the land of Baiyue. After many hardships and bloody battles 10 years, we finally paid a heavy price, won the land of Baiyue and established our own territory.

Zhao Tuo, who became a general of the Qin Dynasty, took advantage of his power to occupy a place in Lingnan and became king on his own. Later, after the death of Qin Shihuang, the world was in chaos and turmoil, and the Qin Dynasty soon perished. At that time, Zhao Tuo kept in mind Qin Shihuang's orders and did not lead Qin Jun to retreat and put down the rebellion. But to defend their own situation, appease their own people and prevent ethnic minorities from taking the opportunity to make trouble. After that, Zhao Tuo established Nanyue State and turned to Liu Bang, who had just unified the world at that time and established a great man, and became a vassal. Later, during the period of Lv Hou, he was directly called the emperor.

In BC 137, Zhao Tuo died and hurried home to the west. At the age of 103. He is indeed one of the oldest emperors. It should have been a good thing, but Zhao Tuo's son didn't inherit the throne. When he died, his father was still in office and finally passed it on to his grandson.
