Jin Yiwei immediately told him about being beaten in the market, but he concealed the key point that he almost hit the child. After hearing this, Zhang Yan was very angry and slapped the table in front of him with a loud bang, shaking everything on the table to pieces. He said angrily: "What do you do for food!" You can't beat a kid of fifteen or sixteen, but you are still my royal guard. If every royal guard is as incompetent as you, then I will have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind!" "Your Majesty, calm down your anger, your Majesty, please calm down. In the Western Regions, I haven¡¯t returned to Beijing for many years and I don¡¯t know the man who beat me. Although that man was wearing a fancy dress, the accessories he wore were all rare in the world. If he was not from a wealthy family, he must be from a wealthy family. Family, but there are many rich and powerful people in the capital, and it¡¯s possible that the young master from which family he is is. If my subordinates see that person again, they will definitely recognize him at a glance!" Jin Yiwei said hurriedly. Zhang Yan was angry not because of his special relationship with this Jinyiwei, but because in broad daylight, in the capital, the Jinyiwei who only obeyed his orders was actually beaten. If this matter spread, His face as an emperor is not even bright! At this moment, a high-pitched shout from the eunuch suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, King Yan is asking for an audience outside the palace!" Before Zhang Yan became the emperor, he was the King of Yan. After he became the emperor, besides Except for Liu Feng, the late Han Dynasty Emperor who abdicated the throne to him, and was granted the title of King Langya, all other titles granted by the Han Dynasty were abolished. Half a year after Zhang Yan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. After Zhang Yan's careful consideration and the re-formulation of a series of titles based on the merits of the founding heroes. The new dynasty pursued a system of separation of military and political affairs. Therefore, the titles are also divided into two systems: civil and military. The titles are divided into nine levels, namely, king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, county marquis, township marquis and pavilion marquis. Among them, only the title of King has a feudal title. The eight-level titles from Duke to Tinghou are only taxed and supplied by the households in the city, and they cannot fully enjoy all the rights of the city. Its food towns range from thousands to a few households, completely eliminating the period from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty. As the feudal states gradually grew and threatened the imperial court, the imperial court's exercise and implementation of power over various places was ensured. At the beginning of the founding of the country, there was only one king, King Langya, and the other highest titles were the dukes awarded by the founding heroes. But as Zhang Yan's eldest son Zhang Han grew up little by little, when Zhang Han was fifteen years old, that is, last year, Zhang Yancai made the eldest son of the emperor Zhang Han a prince, and transferred Guangyang County to Youzhou. It directly became Zhang Han's feudal state, and Zhang Han became King of Yan. This is the first royal title Zhang Yan received in the ten years since the founding of the country, and its fiefdom is in the Yan State. It is the same as the title Zhang Yan received in the early years, so many people do not say it. But everyone psychologically understood that Zhang Han, the eldest son of the emperor, would definitely be the prince of the dynasty in the future. Not long after the Spring Festival this year, the late Han Dynasty Emperor Liu Feng had become King Langya. Langya, his feudal state, died suddenly and violently. After Liu Feng's death, because he had no son to succeed him, his feudal state was abolished and restored to Langya County. In this way, there is still only one prince in the whole country. That is Zhang Han, who was named King of Yan. Although the cause of Liu Feng's death has always been a mystery, the Han Dynasty has been destroyed for ten years. The death of a subjugated king is both inevitable and accidental. It is just an understatement left in the history books. As the only king in Dayan, the arrival of King Yan suddenly gave Zhang Yan, who was angry, a small surprise. As the son of the emperor and the eldest son of the emperor, Zhang Han had too many high hopes placed on him. Moreover, Zhang Han himself was not that kind of mediocre person. His outstanding qualities have been revealed since he was a child. In addition to his immense strength, he also has He had a photographic memory and discovered that the master who taught him martial arts was Zhao Yun, the current Duke of Zhenguo. Zhang Han, who studied under Zhao Yun, left the palace when he was ten years old and followed Zhao Yun to the far north, living a military life on the border. , it¡¯s been five years since I left. In the past five years, Zhang Han has never seen his father Zhang Yan. Zhang Han, who was trained in the army, has become very calm and calm. Except for the slight childishness between his eyebrows, which shows his youth, everything else is Perfect. When Zhang Yan made Zhang Han king last year, Zhang Han was still fighting against the Xianbei people in the north. He had already become a Zhonglang general due to his military exploits. He led a thousand cavalry into the camp of tens of thousands of Xianbei people and captured Xianbei. The chief's head seemed to have entered a deserted land. This battle made Zhang Han famous in the northern border. It was not until Zhang Yan's imperial edict arrived that everyone in the army knew that their brave and invincible General Zhang was actually the eldest son of His Majesty. After being named Queen of Yan, Zhang Han left the military office where Duke Zhen Guo was located and went to Yan State to take up his post. He did not meet his father on the way. Zhang Yan clearly remembered that he had been to the North when he was on patrol incognito the year before last, and met Zhang Han in the military yamen of Zhao Yun, the Duke of Zhenguo.?Since then, he has never seen the son who he had placed high hopes on again. Now that he heard that Zhang Han was coming, Zhang Yan was naturally very excited and eager to see his son immediately. So, Zhang Yan rushed outside and shouted: "Let King Yan come in quickly!" A moment later, King Yan Zhang Han walked in from the outside of the palace. He was wearing a royal robe and had a mang jade tied around his waist. There is also a dragon-patterned jade pendant hanging on the belt, which looks extremely noble. As soon as he entered the main hall, Zhang Han knelt on the ground and bowed to Zhang Yan: "My dear father, long live my father! Long live my father!" Zhang Yan hurried over and helped Zhang Han up in person. His eyes stared at Zhang Han's face for a long time, and then he said: "I have lost weight and become darker, but I am stronger than the year before last. When I returned to Beijing this time, did I go to see your mother and queen?" "My son has just arrived in the capital and has come to see his father. He has not seen his mother yet!" Zhang Han replied. Zhang Yan said: "Your mother misses you so much that she is going crazy. Since you are back this time, she will stay in the capital for a longer period of time. You go to see your mother first, and then I will have a good chat with you after my father is done with his work." !" "Here! Father, please leave now!" The words fell. Zhang Han walked out of the palace, while Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Han's back with affection. Although I was reluctant to give up, I had nothing to do. This time Zhang Han came to Beijing because Zhang Yan had summoned him. He had missed his eldest son for a long time and wished he could chat with him more, but at the moment he was busy with government affairs and had no time to take care of him. Let's let our son go see the queen first, and then we can have a long talk with him after he is done with his work in the evening. "Your Majesty. Your Majesty, His Majesty the King of Yan, has a heroic appearance, quite like your Majesty's demeanor back then" The chamberlain on the side saw Zhang Yan's eyes and said in time. "Among my sons, he is the one who is most like me. I also have high hopes for him" The chamberlain followed the words and said: "In that case, why doesn't your Majesty make His Highness the crown prince? Let's confirm it as soon as possible. Isn't it better, Crown Prince?" I thought Zhang Yan would be happy after hearing this, but Zhang Yan's expression suddenly changed. He glared at the servant and said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that you have served me for so many years, you have no merit. For the sake of hard work, I will kill you for what you said just now!" The servant hurriedly knelt on the ground and slapped himself in the mouth, saying: "The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die. "Please calm down and forgive me this time!" "Remember! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense! If you want to survive, the less you say, the better it will be for you!" Zhang Yan said. "I remember this, my slave!" Ten years after Zhang Yan founded the country, there were not only ten but also twenty beauties in the harem. So far, he has a total of thirteen sons and seven daughters. However, after the founding of the country, he has not been able to establish a crown prince. Although many ministers have made suggestions of this kind, they were all rejected by Zhang Yan, and he was clearly told These court ministers will announce the prince's affairs within a month before his death. He is still in good health and does not need to consider these things. Moreover, the position of the prince is of great importance. He must carefully consider each son. Those who are capable live there. From then on, no one in the court dared to discuss the establishment of a crown prince. But there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that if the prince is not established, each of Zhang Yan's sons may become the prince. If he is a prince, he will work harder to express himself. The disadvantage is that fratricide may occur in the later period due to competition for the position of prince. But in Zhang Yan's view, he actually has only one purpose in not setting up a prince, and that is to protect his ideal candidate for the prince. Once a prince is established, if the other princes also want to be princes, they will try their best to replace the prince. Pull down the horse, and even kill each other. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yan did not dare to establish a prince easily, fearing that brothers would kill each other in the future. Zhang Yan snorted coldly, waved his hand to the chamberlain, and let him go down. He walked to the dragon chair, sat down on it, opened the secret letter presented by Jin Yiwei, glanced at it in a hurry, frowned, and asked hurriedly: "When did this happen?" Jin Yiwei hurriedly answered. Said: "A month ago!" Zhang Yan couldn't sit still anymore and stood up, pacing in front of the desk with his hands behind his back. As he walked around, his thoughts flew to the Western Regions thousands of miles away. The secret letter was sent by the Protectorate of the Western Regions. The then Protector of the Western Regions was Meiyang Hou Pangde. According to Pound's secret letter, King Ayub of Dawan suddenly died suddenly. There was a wailing in Dawan. Wan's prince, Ayub's son Assef succeeded to the throne. According to the agreement signed by Dayan and the vassal countries in the Western Regions, the succession of kings in the Western Regions countries must beFirst, notify the Dayan Dynasty that you can only inherit the throne after being formally canonized by the emperor of the Dayan Dynasty. In addition, the kings of Shule, Yarkand, Khotan, Wusun and other countries also died suddenly within a month, and the newly succeeded king also inherited the throne without permission without reporting to Dayan. took the throne. The succession of King Dawan and other kings this time is tantamount to violating the agreement between Dayan and the countries in the Western Regions, and the Governor's Office also discovered traces of the Kushan Empire's cavalry in the Western Regions. Based on the above, Pang De believes that Dawan Waiting for the possibility that the country might have been instigated by the Kushan Empire, Pang De sent troops from the Duhufu into various countries to find out what happened. But who knew that all the troops sent never returned, and even the bodies could not be found. arrive. Only then did Pound feel the urgency of the situation. He thought that it was very likely that the troops of the Kushan Empire had penetrated into the Western Regions, and the Yan Dynasty's control over the Western Regions was gradually decreasing. He suggested sending a large army into the Western Regions. While ensuring the integrity of the Yan Dynasty, it can also respond when the Kushan Empire makes decisions! Since Zhang Yan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. It has been ten years now. During these ten years, Dayan has been constantly recuperating. Dayan's population is increasing every year, and Dayan's national power is gradually recovering. However, Dayan's control over the Western Regions has become smaller and smaller. In addition, the Xianbei people in the north have also begun to have rebellion. , although each rebellion was caused by a weaker tribe, the Xianbei population has also increased a lot in the past ten years. The area controlled is fixed, and large areas of water, fertilizer and beautiful grass are all controlled by Dayan. The Xianbei people had to report in advance every time they entered the country to graze, and they also had to accept the jurisdiction of Dayan, which severely restricted their actions. Coupled with the gradual passing away of the older generation, the new generation of young people are full of vitality. As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and there have been no more wars at the border for a long time. The younger generation of Xianbei people have gradually forgotten the blows they suffered before, and have gradually become restless. Therefore, although there are constant frictions at the border, it has not caused much impact in the end. , after all, there was a 150,000-strong army of Duke Zhao Yun in the north, and the Xianbei people did not dare to take action for the time being. Dayan¡¯s current main enemy is the Kushan Empire from the west. If the Kushan Empire has made contact with the Xianbei people in the northern border of Dayan through the Western Regions. If both sides attack Dayan together, Dayan will have no time to draw his bow from left to right, so he can only deal with one of the enemies first. The Kushan Empire's constant provocations in the Western Regions in recent years have made Zhang Yan intolerable. At this time, as soon as Pound's secret letter arrived, Zhang Yan had only one plan in his mind, and that was to prepare for the death of the lion who had been sleeping for ten years. He is once again full of his former glory! Therefore, Zhang Yan summoned the civil and military ministers to discuss the matter of sending troops to the Western Regions. After some intense discussions. In the end, the civil and military ministers unanimously decided to send troops to the Western Regions to teach the arrogant Kushan Empire a lesson. Finally, as the founding king of the Yan Dynasty, Zhang Yan, who had been dormant for ten years, defied all opinions and prepared to go on a personal expedition. He sent 200,000 troops to enter the Western Regions, intending to stabilize the Western Regions and destroy the nobles along the way. The Frost Empire opens the first door to the west. On the third day of May in the tenth year of the Taiping Period in the Yan Dynasty, Emperor Zhang Yan of the Yan Dynasty led an army of 200,000 to personally conquer the Western Regions. In this western expedition, Zhang Yan gathered almost half of the elites in the court, and brought with him the emperor's eldest son, Zhang Han, and the emperor. The second son Zhang Wu and the third son Zhang De went on the expedition together. In July of the 10th year of the Great Yan Taiping, 200,000 Yan troops arrived in the Western Regions. They divided their troops into several groups and launched an expedition on the grounds that Dayuan, Shule, Yarkand, Khotan, Wusun and other countries violated the treaty. They hid in Dayuan. The soldiers and horses of the Kushan Empire in other countries were forced out, and they rushed to fight the Yan army, but they all ended in failure. Dayan and other countries were severely punished by Emperor Zhang Yan of Dayan. They destroyed their country and moved all their royal families to the Central Plains. At the same time, they ordered all countries in the Western Regions to remove their thrones and submit to Dayan, officially incorporating all the Western Regions into the imperial territory. A month later, the Kushan Empire sent an army of 300,000 troops to invade Dayan. The Yan Emperor Zhang Yan personally led the Yan army to fight the Kushan Empire in Congling. The Yan army won a decisive victory in this decisive battle with a small number and defeated a large number. The Kushan forces completely withdrew from the Western Regions. However, Zhang Yan did not give up. Instead, he took advantage of the victory and pursued it. He led 50,000 elite troops to attack the Kushan Empire along the way. He also invaded the capital and destroyed the country. After the fall of the Kushan Empire, the western countries were shocked. Those countries that originally submitted to the Kushan Empire surrendered to Dayan. Zhang Yan¡¯s first western expedition ended and he returned to the imperial capital afterwards. Five years later, Zhang Yan carried out his second Western Expedition, leading an army of 300,000 to conquer various countries in the Middle East along the way, and left troops stationed there to incorporate their territories into the territory of Dayan. After the Second Western Expedition, Zhang Yan spent another ten years recuperating and prospering the country. In addition, he adopted the policy of one country, two systems and adopted different governance policies for the areas he occupied, which won the support of the local people. Gradually establishing a firm foothold in the Middle East, DayanIt was called the Great Yan Empire. In the twenty-seventh year of Taiping, the Roman Empire began its Eastern Expedition. Countries located in the Iranian Plateau and Turkey fled eastward one after another. The Yan Empire provided shelter for them, but they were hostile to the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire sent people to negotiate and persuade the Yan Empire to Do not interfere in the affairs of the Roman Empire. He was arrogant and ignored the Yan Empire. Therefore, Zhang Yan, the emperor of the Yan Empire, killed the envoy of the Roman Empire with his own hands in anger. Afterwards, the Yan Empire decided to strike first and dispatched a large army into the Middle East, totaling 500,000 soldiers and horses. The emperor Zhang Yan personally led the third Western Expedition in the name of defending the Islamic world, and gained the Islamic With the support of countries around the world, a large alliance was formed with more than one million troops. From east to west, under the command of Zhang Yan, the emperor of the Yan Empire, they successively defeated the armies of the Roman Empire and regained the Islamic world in one fell swoop. Holy Land Jerusalem. After that, the coalition forces further liberated large areas occupied by the Roman Empire, crossed the Mediterranean Sea, and reached the Holy See, forcing the Roman Empire to completely surrender to the Great Yan Empire. In the thirty-two years of the Great Peace of the Yan Empire, the Third Western Expedition, which lasted for five years, ended with the surrender of the Roman Empire. The Great Yan Empire achieved the greatest achievement in world history and became famous all over the world. After the Roman Empire surrendered, Zhang Yan, the emperor of the Yan Empire, decided to return home with a large amount of war reparations from the Roman Empire. He passed through various liberated countries along the way and was treated politely and received a large number of gifts. Together with these huge wealth, even It exceeds the taxation of the Yan Empire in the past ten years. Therefore, Zhang Yan's third western expedition not only did not consume domestic resources, but also gained a large amount of wealth and made a war fortune. In addition, Zhang Yan also left troops in various countries around the world to occupy mineral resources, and signed agreements with local countries. The Yan Empire was responsible for the mining, and the locals provided labor, and the mined resources were divided equally for mutual benefit. As a result, foreign resources continued to enter the Yan Empire through the Silk Road, and the Silk Road entered an era of incomparable prosperity. Zhang Yan returned to the imperial capital Luoyang in the thirty-third year of Taiping. He had made great achievements and was already the first emperor of the ages. Zhang Yan, who was already sixty-three, was tired of the emperor's position. He announced his abdication two years later and passed the emperor to the throne. It was given to Zhang Han, the eldest son of the emperor, and he left the imperial capital with his concubines, disguised himself as an ordinary wealthy person, and traveled around the world. After Zhang Han inherited the throne, he did not change any of the measures taken during Zhang Yan's era. The country operated normally and its national power became increasingly stronger. Twenty years later, the eighty-five-year-old Zhang Yan completely bid farewell to the world, and what he left behind was a huge of empire. Twenty years later, the second king of the Yan Empire, Zhang Han, passed away. When the third king came to the throne, the empire had reached unprecedented prosperity. In order to surpass his grandfather Zhang Yan, the third king started colonization. Era, the Yan Empire's fleets spread all over the world, and discovered new continents such as America and Australia. More than two hundred years later, the descendants of the Great Yan Empire are spread all over the world, and Asia has become the center of the world because of the location of the Great Yan Dynasty (Complete book) ps: Due to my limited energy, the Western Expedition has been abbreviated, thank you for following me Readers who have been through this book all the way, thank you very much for your support.
