In 206 AD, the sixth year of Wude of the Han Dynasty, the first day of the fifth month.

Emperor Liu Feng, who had just moved the capital to Luoyang, held a ceremony on the palace hall in Luoyang, witnessed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and ceded the imperial throne to the regent Zhang Yan. Since the founding of Liu Xiu, to this day, the 181-year-old Han Dynasty has finally come to a perfect end.

On the same day, as the new emperor, Zhang Yan held an enthronement ceremony in Luoyang, changed the country name "Yan", set the year name as Taiping, took this year as the first year of Taiping, and granted amnesty to the world.

In terms of the country's political system, the new imperial court continued to follow the system of three provinces and six ministries, and separated the military and the government, abolished the cabinet system, no longer established the post of prime minister, and took all the power back into his own hands.

Facts have proved that some theories such as limiting imperial power and separating powers cannot adapt to this era at all, and Zhang Yan can only go back to the old road, and further strengthen the centralization of power with the system of three provinces and six ministries, making the emperor's power supreme.

Although the new imperial court was established, the appointment of officials in the court did not change much, and all the official positions of the officials remained the same, except for a few minor changes in the appointment of a few officials, and a few talented young people were promoted.

After the enthronement ceremony, Zhang Yan officially promulgated the first holy decree, the essence of which was: abolishing slavery, resolutely putting an end to the sale of human beings, re-measuring land throughout the country, census the population, opening schools in all states, counties, counties, and townships, and formulating a set of boxing techniques to encourage the people of the whole country to practice martial arts.

In addition, Zhang Yan withdrew all the previous title rewards, and prepared to reformulate them, and he would award them another one day.

After the founding ceremony, the people of the whole country celebrated, and all states, counties, and counties had to change their flags within a month. The things that had been prepared long before the relocation of the capital had already been sent to various places, and it was only a matter of time before they were replaced.

At this point, the Yellow Turban Rebellion began. After 22 years of turmoil, China once again returned to the road of reunification. It's just that the emperor has changed people, from Liu to Zhang.

It was the second day of Zhang Yan's accession to the throne. Zhang Yan's genealogy was also made public to the world, and the descendants of Zhang Liang, who retired after his success, became the master of the world now, and Liu Feng, who was the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, was called the late Han Emperor, recorded in the history books. Zhang Yan named Liu Feng as the king of Langya, as a continuation of the Liu family.

From the beginning of the great chaos to the unification of the whole country, in the past 20 years of turmoil, China's population has been reduced by more than half. Zhang Yan, who had just ascended the throne as emperor, was deeply aware of the importance of recuperation, so he took the initiative to put forward a ten-year plan for recuperation and recuperation to restore national strength.

Ten years later, the imperial capital was Luoyang.

The noisy streets, the endless stream of pedestrians, the regular streets, on both sides of the regular streets, all kinds of shops, banners and displays, customers come and go. It looks very lively.

There are all kinds of dressed people on the streets, this is one of the most lively markets in Luoyang, the capital of Dayan Kingdom, as long as you arrive at the meal, it will be blocked here. Walking on the road, you can smell the aroma of all kinds of rice mixed together, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.

Suddenly, at the entrance of the market, a fast horse came on, and the man on the back of the horse was dressed in a black suit, wearing a black gauze hat on his head, and an embroidered spring knife tied around his waist. He wore a cape that was black on the outside and red on the inside. As soon as the man came to the entrance of the bazaar, and saw the bustling scene in front of him, his brow tightened, and he reined in his horse and stayed where he was, not knowing what to do.

This is one of Dayan's brocade guards, and he has an extremely important secret letter on his body, which is to be presented to His Majesty today, but when he walked to this necessary road, he was stumped by the congested crowd, did he ride a horse and rush over, or turn around and detour?

For a moment, the brocade guard couldn't make up his mind, and he was stunned there.

This is the only place to go from the city gate to the palace, if you take a detour, I am afraid that it will delay a lot of time, and this secret letter is also your majesty anxious to ask, ten years ago, this market was not very lively, but in the last five years, this market because of the establishment of a Four Seas Restaurant, so it has become more and more lively, and also drove the business of the whole market to improve together.

"Drive!"

Suddenly, the brocade guard let out a loud shout, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and rode forward, and the knight on horseback finally made his choice, and he decided to ride his horse across the bazaar, and try to deliver the secret letter in his hand to His Majesty in the shortest possible time.

While galloping on his horse, Jin Yiwei shouted loudly in front of him: "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! ”

The pedestrians in the bazaar saw the brocade guards rushing over and avoided them, but their eyes were full of disdain.

Jin Yiwei ran all the way and shouted, everyone avoided in time, but at this moment, there was a five or six-year-old boy in front of Jin Yiwei, who was crying and shouting to find his mother, who was roughly separated from his mother, and suddenly saw Jin Yiwei rushing towards him, he was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he actually stood in place, not knowing what to do.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Seeing this, Jin Yiwei was also panicked, if this child didn't dodge again, he would bump into it, such a big child, what can he withstand the collision, if he really hits, he can't be killed?

But the child only cried and called his mother vigorously, but he couldn't dodge.

Jin Yiwei saw that he was about to collide, and when he saw that the child did not avoid it, he hurried to pull the reins, but the speed of the horse's impact was too fast to stop, and he still rushed towards the child.

The rest of the people were panicked when they saw it, and some even shouted out loudly, you know, children are the future of the motherland, the emperor attaches great importance to the next generation, if someone hurts the child, it must be a dead end, even if it is His Majesty the Emperor's Jinyiwei, it is nothing more.

At this moment, a young man suddenly jumped down from the sky, landed directly in front of the child, stretched out his long arms and picked up the child, and then threw it to his companion who had just arrived on the side of the road, while he stood with his feet apart, took a stance, and stood directly in the middle of the road, stretched out his hands, and tried in vain to block the rushing horse.

Everyone's eyes were attracted, but when they saw that the horse was colliding in an instant, the young man's big hands directly pressed the horse's head, shouted, exerted all his strength, and his body only took two steps back, and he actually pressed the big horse to the ground, and the brocade guard also fell to the ground.

Everyone didn't dare to speak out, after all, Jinyiwei only listened to the emperor's orders, even if the ministers of the court and the central government saw it, they had to dodge, this young man actually made Jinyiwei so embarrassed, everyone sweated for this young man.

"Hey, what a handle! It hurts Lao Tzu to death! The brocade guard shouted loudly, and at the same time jumped up from the ground, glaring fiercely at the young man.

The young man's face was grim, his sword eyebrows were starry, his complexion was slightly dark, but his body was full of muscles, he was tall, eight feet five tall, but between his eyebrows, there was a childishness, and his age was only about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"You fucking stinky boy, didn't you see that Lao Tzu was a brocade guard? You even dare to block my way, don't you want to live anymore? Jin Yiwei pointed at the young man and cursed.

"Bang!"

The young man didn't say a word, he raised his hand and punched it, hitting the nose of the brocade guard, who had a nosebleed and a gold star in his eyes.

Jin Yiwei immediately pulled out the embroidered spring knife in his waist and shouted: "Bastard, you ...... it"

Before Jin Yiwei could say anything, the young man stepped forward and punched him again, and his internal organs were about to turn over!

The young man was about to step forward to fight, and another young man with yellow muscles jumped out of the crowd, stopped the young man, and said: "Young master, enough, your hands are heavy, if you fight again, I am afraid that someone will die, and the other party is still a Jinyi guard, if you let the old master know, it will not be good ......"

"The old master can't be so indulgent in their misdeeds!" The young man said angrily.

"The old master is in charge of everything, and I am afraid that I can't take care of such small things, not to mention that Jinyiwei is also a bully, and the old master may not know. Young master, if you are angry, just sprinkle your anger on Commander Xu, there are many people here, let's go quickly, in case the people from the patrol camp come, I am afraid that I will see the young master here, and the old master will not be able to explain, after all, we ran out this time......"

When the young man heard what the yellow-muscled man said, he stopped looking for trouble, and when he saw that the boy was all right, and had been embraced by his mother, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd with the servant.

Jin Yiwei was beaten, the matter was more serious, but no one could be found, and the people who watched the excitement were also afraid of causing trouble, so they simply dispersed in a hurry, as if it did not happen, and the Jin Yiwei could only admit that he was unlucky, got up and led the horse through the market, and finally rode straight to the palace.

At this moment, Emperor Zhang Yan is reviewing the folds in the Wude Palace, and now Zhang Yan is less sassy than ten years ago, but more mature, he has entered forty years old, while dealing with national affairs, he does not forget to strengthen his body, so his body has always been very good, and he is still so heroic.

Not long after, an attendant came in from outside, came to Zhang Yan's side, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Western Regions are urgently reporting!" ”

"Hurry up!"

A moment later, a brocade guard walked in from outside, holding a secret letter in his hand, and walked quickly into the main hall, it was the brocade guard who had been beaten in the market.

Without waiting for the brocade guard to speak, Zhang Yan first noticed the injury on the brocade guard's face, his brows tightened, and he asked first, "What's the matter with the injury on your face?" (To be continued.) )
