Jin Yiwei immediately told him about being beaten in the bazaar, but he only hid the key to the fact that he almost hit the child.

After Zhang Yan heard this, he was very indignant, and suddenly slapped the table in front of him, and with a loud "bang", the things on the table were shaken to pieces, and he said angrily: "What are you eating!" I can't even beat a fifteen or sixteen child, and you are still my Jinyi Guard, if every Jinyi Guard is as incompetent as you, then I can only drink the northwest wind in the future! ”

"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, your subordinates have been in the Western Regions for a long time, and they have not returned to Beijing for many years, I don't know the person who beat me, although that person is wearing a strong suit, but the jewelry he wears is a rare product in the world, if it is not a rich family, it must be a noble family, but there are more rich and noble people in the capital, maybe it is the son of which family, if the subordinates see that person again, the subordinates will definitely recognize it at a glance!" Jin Yiwei hurriedly said.

Zhang Yan was angry, not because of how special his relationship with this Jinyiwei was, but because in broad daylight, in the capital, Jinyiwei, who only obeyed his orders, was actually beaten by someone, if this matter spread, his face as an emperor would not shine!

At this moment, a high-pitched shout from a eunuch suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, King Yan is asking to see you outside the palace!" ”

Zhang Yan was the king of Yan before he ascended the throne as the emperor, and after he ascended the throne as the emperor, except for Liu Feng, the late emperor of the Han Dynasty who ceded the throne to him, was named the king of Langya, all the titles of the rest of the Han Dynasty were abolished. Half a year after Zhang Yan ascended the throne as emperor, after Zhang Yan's careful consideration, and the founding heroes according to the size of the contributions, a series of titles were reformulated.

The new dynasty pursued a system of separation of military and government, so in terms of titles, it was also divided into two systems, civil and military, and the titles were divided into nine classes, namely king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, county marquis, township marquis, and pavilion marquis. Among them, only the title of the king has a feudal state, and the eight-level titles from the duke to the pavilion marquis are all taxes and supplies for the households in the food estate. However, it could not fully enjoy all the power of the food eup, and its food euphores ranged from thousands to a few households, completely eliminating the situation that threatened the imperial court from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty because of the gradual growth of the feudal state. It ensured the exercise and implementation of the power of the imperial court over various places.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, there was only one king, King Langya, and the rest of the titles were the dukes who were awarded by the founding heroes, but with the later Zhang Yan's eldest son Zhang Han's little by little Zhang Da, when Zhang Han was fifteen years old. That is, last year, Zhang Yan made the emperor's eldest son Zhang Han a prince, and directly turned Guangyang County in Youzhou into Zhang Han's feudal state, and Zhang Han became the king of Yan.

This is the first prince Zhang Yan has been awarded ten years since the founding of the country, and his fief is in Yan Kingdom, which is the same as the title obtained by Zhang Yan in the early years, so although many people don't say it, everyone understands psychologically that the emperor's eldest son Zhang Han will inevitably be the crown prince of the dynasty in the future.

Not long after the Spring Festival this year, Liu Feng, the late Han Emperor who has become the king of Langya. In his feudal state Langya suddenly died violently, and after Liu Feng's death, because there was no son to inherit, his feudal state was abolished and restored to Langya County. In this way, there is still only one king in the country, and that is Zhang Han, who was named the king of Yan.

Although the cause of Liu Feng's death has always been a mystery, the Han Dynasty has been extinct for ten years, and the death of a dead monarch is inevitable. It is also accidental, but it has left an understatement in the history books.

As the only king in the territory of Dayan, the arrival of King Yan suddenly made Zhang Yan, who was angry, suddenly have a little surprise. As the son of the emperor. is the eldest son of the emperor again, Zhang Han has too many high hopes on him, and Zhang Han himself is not the kind of mediocre talent, he has shown his superiority since he was a child, in addition to his infinite strength, he will never forget. The master who taught him martial arts was the current Zhenguo Gong Zhao Yun, and Zhang Han, who studied under Zhao Yun, left the palace at the age of ten and followed Zhao Yun to the far north, where he lived a military life on the border, which was five years.

In the past five years, Zhang Han has never seen his father Zhang Yan, and Zhang Han, who has been trained in the army, has become very calm and calm, except for a little childishness between his eyebrows, he can see his youth, and everything else is perfect.

When Zhang Yan named Zhang Han as the king last year, Zhang Han was still fighting with the Xianbei people in the north, and he had become a Zhonglang general by virtue of his military exploits, leading a thousand cavalry to enter the camp of tens of thousands of Xianbei people, and cut off the head of the Xianbei chieftain, as if entering a no-man's land.

This battle made Zhang Han famous in the northern border, and it was not until Zhang Yan's holy decree arrived that the whole army knew that their heroic and invincible General Zhang was actually the eldest son of His Majesty.

After being named the king of Yan, Zhang Han left the military office where the Duke of Zhenguo was located and went to Yan to take up his post, and he did not meet his father on the way.

Zhang Yan clearly remembered that he had been to the north when Weifu was on patrol the year before last, and had met Zhang Han in the military office of Zhao Yun, the prince of Zhenguo, and since then, he has never seen this son on whom he has high hopes. Now that he heard that Zhang Han was coming, Zhang Yan's mood was naturally very excited, and he couldn't wait to see his son immediately.

So, Zhang Yan shouted outside: "Let King Yan come in!" ”

After a while, Zhang Han, the king of Yan, walked in from outside the palace, he was wearing a royal robe, with a jade belt tied around his waist, and a dragon-patterned jade pendant hanging from the belt, which looked extremely noble.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Zhang Han knelt on the ground and bowed to Zhang Yan: "Sons and daughters see their father, long live their father, long live long live their father!" ”

Zhang Yan hurriedly walked over, personally helped Zhang Han up, stared at Zhang Han's face with a pair of eyes, and said after a long time: "Thin, dark, but stronger than the year before last, this time back to Beijing, have you ever gone to see your mother?" ”

"Qi Qi Father, the son has just arrived in the capital, and he immediately came to see his father, and he has not seen the queen mother yet!" Zhang Han replied.

Zhang Yan said: "Your mother is going crazy thinking about you, since you are back this time, you will stay in the capital for a longer time." You go to meet your mother first, and when your father is done, I will have a good chat with you! ”

"Whoa! Father, the son and grandson retired first! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Han walked out of the hall, and Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Han's back, with affection, although he was reluctant, but he was helpless.

This time Zhang Han entered Beijing, Zhang Yan summoned him, he has been missing this eldest son for a long time, and he can't wait to talk to him more, but he still has to be busy with some government affairs at this time. I didn't have time to take care of him, so I let my son go to see the queen first, and then it was not too late to have a long talk with my son when he was done in the evening.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan is heroic. It has the demeanor of His Majesty back then......" The chamberlain on the side saw Zhang Yan's eyes and said in a timely manner.

"Among my sons, he is the most like me, and I have high hopes for him......"

The chamberlain followed the conversation and said, "In that case, why didn't Your Majesty crown His Highness be the crown prince." Wouldn't it be better to identify the prince as soon as possible? ”

I thought that Zhang Yan would be happy to hear this, but who knew that Zhang Yan's face suddenly changed, and he glared at the servant viciously, and said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that you have served me for many years, and you have no merit and hard work, I would have been able to punish you for what you said just now!" ”

The chamberlain hurriedly knelt on the ground and slapped himself in the mouth while saying, "The slave should die." The slave deserves to die, the minion deserves to die, and please let Your Majesty calm your anger and forgive the minion this time! ”

"Remember! You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! If you want to survive, the less you know, the less you say, the greater the benefit to you! Zhang Yan said.

"The minion remembers!"

Zhang Yan has been in the country for ten years, and there are not ten beauties in the harem, but also twenty, and as of now, he has a total of thirteen sons. Seven daughters, but after the founding of the country, he has not been able to set up a prince, although many ministers have made such and such suggestions. But they were all vetoed by Zhang Yan, and clearly told these ministers of the DPRK and China that the matter of the prince would be announced within a month before his death, and he was still in good health, so there was no need to think about these things. And the position of the crown prince is very important, he must carefully consider each son, and those who are capable live in it.

Since then, no one in the court has dared to discuss the establishment of the crown prince. But there are pros and cons. The advantage is that if you don't set up a prince, every son of Zhang Yan may be the prince, and if he is quite a prince, he will redouble his efforts to show himself, and the disadvantage is that in the later stage, there may be fratricide because of the competition for the position of the prince.

But in Zhang Yan's view, he does not set up the prince, in fact, there is only one purpose, that is, to protect the prince candidate in his mind, once the prince is established, then if the rest of the princes also want to be the prince, then they will try to pull the prince off the horse, and even kill each other.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yan did not dare to easily establish the crown prince, fearing that in the future, siblings would kill each other and brothers would kill each other.

Zhang Yan snorted coldly, waved his hand at the inner waiter, and let him go down. He walked to the dragon chair, sat on it, opened the secret letter presented by the brocade guard, hurriedly glanced at it, frowned, and hurriedly asked, "When did this happen?" ”

Jin Yiwei hurriedly replied, "A month ago! ”

Zhang Yan couldn't sit still, stood up, with his hands behind his back, pacing in front of the table, walking around, but his thoughts flew to the Western Regions thousands of miles away.

According to Pound's secret letter, the king of Dawan, Ayub, died suddenly, and the country was in mourning, and the prince of Dawan, Ayub's son Asefu succeeded to the throne. According to the agreement signed between the Great Yan and the vassal states of the Western Regions, the succession of the kings of the Western Regions countries must be notified to the Great Yan Dynasty in advance, and the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty can inherit the throne only after obtaining the official canonization of the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.

In addition, the kings of Shule, Shache, Khotan, Wusun and other countries also died violently within a month, and the new king also did not report to Dayan, so he inherited the throne without authorization.

This time, Dawan and other kings succeeded to the throne, which was tantamount to violating the agreement between Dayan and the countries of the Western Regions, and the Duhufu also found traces of the cavalry of the Kushan Empire in the Western Regions, to sum up, Pang De thought that Dawan and other countries may have been instigated by the Kushan Empire, and Pang De sent the soldiers and horses of the Duhufu into the countries to find out, but who knows, the soldiers and horses sent have gone and have not returned, and even the corpses cannot be found.

Pang De sensed the urgency of the situation, thinking that it was very likely that the soldiers and horses of the Kushan Empire had infiltrated the Western Regions, and the Great Yan Dynasty's control over the Western Regions was gradually decreasing, and suggested sending a large army into the Western Regions, while ensuring the integrity of the Great Yan Dynasty, it could also deal with the decisions made by the Kushan Empire!

Since Zhang Yan ascended the throne as emperor, it has been ten years now, in the past ten years, Dayan has been constantly recuperating, Dayan's population is increasing every year, Dayan's national strength is gradually recovering, but Dayan's control over the Western Regions is becoming smaller and smaller, in addition, the Xianbei people in the north have also begun to give birth to rebellion, although each rebellion is a weaker tribe. However, in the past ten years, the population of the Xianbei people has also increased a lot, but the area controlled by them is fixed, and a large area of water, fertilizer and grass is controlled in the hands of Dayan. And he also has to accept the jurisdiction of Dayan, and his actions are seriously restricted.

Coupled with the gradual passing away of the older generation, the new generation of young people are full of vitality, as the so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the border passes have stopped fighting for a long time. The younger generation of Xianbei people gradually forgot the blows they had received before, and gradually became impetuous, so although there was constant friction at the border pass, it did not cause much impact after all, after all, there was an army of 150,000 people of Zhao Yun, the prince of Zhenguo, in the north, and the Xianbei people did not dare to act for a while.

If the Guishan Empire gets in touch with the Xianbei people in the north of Great Yan through the Western Regions, and the two sides flank Great Yan together, then Great Yan has no time to open his bow left and right, so he can only deal with one of the enemies first. And the constant provocation of the Kushan Empire in the Western Regions in the past few years has also made Zhang Yan unbearable, at this time, as soon as Pang De's secret letter arrived, Zhang Yan had only one plan in his mind, that is, to prepare to let the lion who had been sleeping for ten years rejuvenate his former majesty!

As a result, Zhang Yan convened the civil and military ministers to discuss the matter of sending troops to the Western Regions. After some fierce discussions, the ministers of civil and military affairs finally decided to send troops to the Western Regions to teach the arrogant Kushan Empire a lesson.

At last. As the founding monarch of the Dayan Dynasty, Zhang Yan, who had been silent for ten years, overrode public opinion and prepared to drive the expedition in person. Send 200,000 troops to enter the Western Regions, preparing to destroy the Kushan Empire and open the first gate to the West while stabilizing the Western Regions.

On the third day of the fifth month of the tenth year of the Great Yan Taiping, the Great Yan Emperor Zhang Yan led an army of 200,000. In the Western Regions, Zhang Yan gathered almost half of the elites in the court, and brought the emperor's eldest son Zhang Han, the emperor's second son Zhang Wu, and the emperor's third son Zhang De to go on the expedition together.

In July of the tenth year of the Great Yan Taiping, 200,000 Yan troops arrived in the Western Regions, divided their troops into several routes, and carried out conquests on the grounds that Dawan, Shule, Shache, Khotan, Wusun and other countries violated the treaty.

Dawan and other countries were severely punished by the Great Yan Emperor Zhang Yan, destroyed his country, and migrated all his royal families to the Central Plains, and at the same time ordered the countries of the Western Regions to remove the throne one after another, belong to the Great Yan, and officially incorporate all the Western Regions into the imperial territory.

A month later, the Kushan Empire sent an army of 300,000 to invade Dayan. The Great Yan Emperor Zhang Yan personally led the Yan army and the Kushan Empire to fight a decisive battle in the Green Mountains. The Yan army won a key victory in this decisive battle, and the Kushan forces completely withdrew from the Western Regions. Zhang Yan did not stop, but took advantage of the victory to pursue, led 50,000 elites to go first, attacked the Kushan Empire along the way, and attacked the national capital to destroy its country.

After the fall of the Kushan Empire, the western countries were shocked, and those countries that were originally subservient to the Kushan Empire surrendered to Dayan one after another.

Zhang Yan's first expedition to the west ended and he returned to the imperial capital afterwards.

Five years later, Zhang Yan carried out the second expedition to the west, leading an army of 300,000 to conquer the Middle Eastern countries along the way, and leaving garrisons there, incorporating his territory into the territory of Dayan.

After the end of the Second Western Expedition, Zhang Yan spent another ten years to recuperate and prosper the country, plus he adopted the policy of one country, two systems, and adopted different policies for the places he occupied, won the support of the local people, and gradually gained a firm foothold in the Middle East, and Dayan was called the Dayan Empire.

In the twenty-seventh year of Taiping, the Roman Empire began its crusade to the east, and the countries located in the Iranian Plateau and Turkey fled eastward, and the Great Yan Empire provided shelter for it, and was hostile to the Roman Empire.

Afterwards, the Great Yan Empire decided to strike first, and then sent a large army into the Middle East, a total of 500,000 soldiers and horses, led by the emperor Zhang Yan personally, in the name of defending the Islamic world, carried out the third westward expedition, won the support of the countries of the Islamic world, formed a large alliance, more than one million troops, from east to west, under the command of the emperor Zhang Yan of the Great Yan Empire, successively defeated the army of the Roman Empire, and recovered the holy land of the Islamic world Jerusalem in one fell swoop. Later, the coalition forces liberated large swaths of the area occupied by the Roman Empire, and crossed the Mediterranean Sea to the Holy See, forcing the Roman Empire to submit completely to the Great Yan Empire.

In the thirty-second year of the peace of the Dayan Empire, the third westward expedition that lasted five years ended with the submission of the Roman Empire, and the Dayan Empire achieved the greatest achievement in the history of the world and became famous all over the world. After the surrender of the Roman Empire, Zhang Yan, the emperor of the Dayan Empire, decided to return to China with a large amount of war reparations from the Roman Empire. Therefore, Zhang Yan's third expedition to the west not only did not consume domestic resources, but instead obtained a lot of wealth and made a war fortune. In addition, Zhang Yan also left troops in various countries around the world, occupied mineral resources, and signed agreements with local countries, with the Dayan Empire responsible for mining, and the local labor was provided, and the mined resources were divided equally for mutual benefit. As a result, foreign resources continued to enter the Dayan Empire through the Silk Road, and the Silk Road entered an era of incomparably prosperity.

Zhang Yan returned to the imperial capital Luoyang in the thirty-third year of Taiping, and he had made great achievements, he was already the first emperor of the ages, and Zhang Yan, who was already sixty-three, was also tired of the position of the emperor, and announced his abdication two years later, passing the emperor to the emperor's eldest son Zhang Han, and he left the imperial capital with his concubines, dressed up as an ordinary rich and noble family, and traveled the world.

After Zhang Han inherited the throne, he did not change any measures in the Zhang Yan era, the country was operating normally, and the national strength was getting stronger and stronger, and twenty years later, the eighty-five-year-old Zhang Yan completely bid farewell to the world, and what he left behind was a huge empire.

Twenty years later, the second monarch of the Great Yan Empire, Zhang Han, passed away, and when the third monarch ascended the throne, the empire had reached incomparable prosperity, in order to surpass his grandfather Zhang Yan, the third monarch opened the colonial era, the fleet of the Great Yan Empire spread all over the world, and discovered the Americas, Australia and other new continents.

More than two hundred years later, the descendants of the Great Yan Empire spread all over the world, and Asia became the center of the world because of the location of the Great Yan Dynasty......
