Yuan Yan finally completed the great cause of dominating the world, and he named the new dynasty he established "Guiyi". And after a long time of chaos among the four countries, the world has once again become one.

At this time, Yuan Yan's thoughts returned to a few decades ago, because at that time, the world also belonged to an empire, called the Dayan Empire, which enjoyed the country for more than 200 years, and then collapsed in an instant, its demise seemed sudden, but looking back from the perspective of those who came over, the demise of the Dayan Empire also had many unstable factors hidden in the empire and not discovered by the upper echelons of the empire.

And these unstable factors also remind the current Yuan Yan at all times, water can carry a boat and overturn a boat, even if Yuan Yan completes the great cause of reunification, but it is easy to fight the world and difficult to defend the world, Yuan Yan still cannot relax, and still needs to be vigilant at all times, because the lesson of the Great Yan Empire is in front of us.

Yuan Yan was originally only the eldest son of the Great Yan Empire and was despised by many people, but Yuan Yan gained a foothold in the troubled times in the later years, step by step, and made a comeback from the southeast of the original empire.

And the story of all this should also start with Yuan Yan's younger brother, the eldest son of the Yuan family, and the last emperor of the Great Yan Empire, Yuan Zeng......

With the cries of the children who fell to the ground, the queen of the Dayan Empire finally gave birth to a prince, and the emperor at this time, Yuan Dai, was already over the age of old. If you really get older, you should get stronger.

Before this, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military would quarrel about the country every few days, some were really worried about the country and the people, hoping to see a more promising prince in charge of this huge empire, continuing the glory of the empire, and some ministers were privately the disciples of some princes, and strongly recommended the prince they supported to take the throne, so that they could also soar to the sky.

Yuan Yan is the first prince to be born, it is rumored that the emperor was born of drunken disorder and palace maids, because of this incident, Yuan Dai was condemned by the minister in the court for several days, Yuan Dai himself was born as the eldest son, and he received the best treatment among the princes since he was a child, with the support of many guests and relatives, and he did not experience any wind and waves to take the throne, so he reigned for many years, although he did not enslave the people like a faint tyrant all day long, but he did not make any merits, The empire has gone through more than 200 spring and autumn in Yuandai, the land annexation has become more and more serious, the people at the bottom are becoming more and more miserable, the empire seems to be still in its prosperity on the surface, but it has also hidden various factors of decline, as long as these factors break out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Yuan Dai didn't like his queen, and the reason why he was named queen was that the queen came from the royal family, the big family of the empire, and the queen of Yuan Dai's father's father, and the queen of his father's father, were all from the Wang family, and the men of the Wang family also held important positions in the court. Therefore, in order to stabilize the situation, Yuan Dai's father had to continue this tradition.

It is also for this reason that Yuan Dai and his queen have never had an eldest son, and the royal family, which has a lot of power in the court, is more and more afraid that their power will be destroyed in one day.

Now, the eldest son has finally been born, on the surface, it is a good thing for the Wang family and the royal family, and the two families can finally breathe a sigh of relief, but the continuation of the power of the Wang family has threatened the imperial power, this hidden danger has been hidden, but the hidden danger is a hidden danger after all, and the Wang family's desire for power has risen to a great extent.

But in any case, the current problem was finally solved, and Emperor Yuan Dai was also relieved, and the very happy emperor thought that in this way he could spend his old age in peace and pass on the empire to the next successor with confidence. So this newly born eldest son was named Yuan Zeng by the emperor, hoping that the empire would be just like Yuan Zeng's name, and the country would continue to increase and never decay.

At this time, the concubine, the situation has become more difficult, the original hope of his succession to the doormen, now as soon as they see the birth of the eldest son, they immediately scattered, thinking that the concubine who has been neglected has no hope of succession from now on, and even the people who serve the concubine have gradually become sluggish, after all, there is really no future with such a master.

Twenty years later, in a small city on the southwestern border of the empire, a new city lord was appointed as Wang Jing, who was the concubine of Wang Dian, the prime minister of the dynasty.

At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, the situation in the world has not yet been determined, and at this time the empire was also harassed by the barbarians because the territory was in the west, but the emperor at that time, the emperor of the empire, Emperor Yuan Hong, gave a tough counterattack, and personally led the troops to attack the barbarians, the barbarians originally thought that the southwest desert was everywhere, Yuan Hong did not dare to invade rashly, and the purpose of the barbarian invasion was also to exchange for food and various novelty objects that the desert did not have, And Yuan Hong felt that his rear had such a hidden danger, and it would definitely have a great impact on his ambition to unify the world in the future, so Yuan Hong regarded these barbarians as a thorn in his side, and this time he just caught the barbarians off guard, and even escorted the leader of the barbarians back to the capital of the empire, but the barbarians had no choice but to surrender and belong to the empire, and the kings of each generation of the barbarians could only be hostages in the capital of the empire to prevent them from rebelling again.

And now after more than two hundred years, the throne has finally become a virtual position among the barbarians, and the national teacher has become the leader of the barbarians who hold the actual power, and the eldest sons of the Jing family have been the national teachers of the barbarians for five consecutive generations.

In fact, the current situation of the empire is not much different from that of the barbarians, because the power of the Wang family has penetrated into all corners of the empire, and the officials of the empire can even talk about the emperor casually, but they dare not talk about anyone in the Wang family.

The barbarians were hit hard at the beginning of the establishment of the empire, but after more than 200 years of spring and autumn, the barbarians have recovered their vitality, and now, the barbarians are holding their breath, and they must drag the empire into the dark abyss when the empire is in decline, in order to repay the hatred of more than two hundred years ago.

And now, the empire has fallen into decline in all aspects, the people at the bottom are still hungry every day to work, the people are miserable, the officials continue to be lustful, and the emperor Yuan Dai is deceived by the officials, thinking that the empire is still and will always be in the prosperous age, so the emperor overhauled the palace, the capital of the empire has become extremely prosperous and magnificent, the emperor is complacent, thinking that this is all his own credit, so the royal family's expenses are getting bigger and bigger day by day, and the people at the bottom are even more unable to survive.

Let's talk about this Wang Jing again, at this time, the officials of the empire have not realized that the barbarians are hiding deep evil intentions, even the prime minister of the empire, Wang Dian, so Wang Dian sent Wang Jing to the small city on the side of the barbarians, and by the way, he fought the barbarians a few times. Create the illusion that the rebellion of the barbarians will continue to be suppressed by the children of the Wang family, so that Wang Jing has prestige and can smoothly take over Wang Dian's class.

At this time, Jing Jing, the national teacher of the barbarians, also knew about this situation. So on the surface, he provoked the empire with an army composed of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and then was defeated by the empire, creating the illusion that the barbarians were in a state of collapse, while training the real army behind his back, ready to give the empire a fatal blow when the empire was extremely relaxed.

Wang Jing has been the lord of this small city in the southwest for more than five years, and this year Wang Jing finally found an opportunity, there is a barbarian because of hunger, killed several innocent civilians in the city, and snatched food, in Wang Jing's inscription, this is regarded as a provocation of the barbarians to the empire, so Wang Jing can finally attack the barbarians logically, and accumulate prestige for himself.

The barbarians are thinking about whether this time, to show the empire the true strength of the barbarians that the empire looked down on and suppressed before, and the barbarian national teacher Jing Jing feels that the empire has been almost corrupted by the Wang family, and the people's grievances are monstrous, the decline of the empire and the future chaos are just around the corner, if the barbarians rashly show their strength before the chaos comes, not only will it not cause substantial damage to the empire, but it is also possible to transfer the contradictions within the empire to their hands, in this way, the vitality of the barbarians recovered for more than 200 years, it will be destroyed. So Jing Jingli ignored the public opinion, still met with the weak so-called army, and on the other hand, sued for peace with the empire.

Wang Jing really succeeded in the war, and the barbarians admitted their "crimes" to the empire, saying that they would never commit them again in the future, and Wang Jing also earned prestige for himself, and at this time Wang Jing's father, Wang Dian, the prime minister of the empire, was not as good as a day, Wang Jingguan was a second-class official, and the Wang family was already in Wang Jing's hands.

Not only is Wang Dian's body worse day by day, but the emperor of the empire, Yuan Dai, is also getting worse and worse, and the eldest son at this time is 25 years old and was officially established as the crown prince by Yuan Dai, and the empire seems to have reached the hands of Yuan Zeng, at least Yuan Zeng himself thinks so.

Wang Jing is 5 years older than Yuan, now it is 30, a year later, Prime Minister Wang Dian stepped down, Wang Jing was made the prime minister, three years later, Emperor Yuan Dai and Prime Minister Wang Dian finally died, Yuan Zeng succeeded to become the new emperor of the empire.

Yuan Zeng and his concubine brother, Yuan Seng grew up together, Yuan Seng was born to the concubine in the palace, the concubine was deeply favored by the emperor, and the Wang family has been putting pressure on the queen because of this, the queen hates this concubine very much, one day, the concubine suddenly died violently, people outside the palace only know that the concubine has a strange disease, in fact, this is another time that the Wang family and the queen are hiding from the world, without the emperor's knowledge, again and again to get rid of one after another may threaten the status of the Wang family thorn in the eye.

Yuan Zeng became the new emperor of the empire, and at this time he didn't know that the ostensibly prosperous empire was not far from the moment when it fell apart and collapsed......
