The Yan Kingdom, one of the seven heroes of the Warring States, has a very long history, and the country has lasted for more than 800 years, serving as 42 monarchs, experiencing the Spring and Autumn Warring States periods, but the sense of existence of the Yan Kingdom is indeed too low, and other monarchs other than King Yan Zhao are basically not famous!
1. The first monarch of the Yan Kingdom: Yan Zhao Gong Ji Xie
Duke Yan Zhaogong was the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, but Yan Zhaogong did not take office, but assisted the Zhou royal family for many years with Zhou Gongdan, laying the foundation for the prosperity of Western Zhou. Starting from Yan Zhaogong, Yan Guoguo.
Second, the second king of the Yan state: Yanhouke
Yan Houke, the second king of the Yan state, did not go to the post because Yan Zhaogong did not go to the post, but his son Yanhouke managed the Yan state in his place. However, although Yanhouke is the ancestor of the Yan Kingdom, there are not many records in the history books.
Third, the third to eleventh monarchs of the Yan Kingdom: There is no sense of existence, and the Yan Kingdom mixed into the Eastern Zhou period without a sense of existence!
4. The twelfth to fifteenth monarchs of the Yan Kingdom
During the reigns of the twelfth monarch of the Yan state, the thirteenth monarch Yan Zhenghou, the fourteenth monarch Yan Muhou, and the fifteenth monarch Yan Xuanhou, there was basically no record.
5. The sixteenth and seventeenth kings of the Yan Kingdom:
During the reign of Yan Huanhou, the sixteenth monarch of the State of Yan, and the Duke of Yan Zhuang, the 17th monarch, he was harassed by Shanjung, and the State of Yan asked the State of Qi for help. Duke Huan of Qi supported the Kingdom of Yan to destroy Shanjung?
6. The eighteenth to thirty-fifth kings of the Yan state:
It's not a big deal, but the Yan Kingdom is also gradually increasing its strength! By the time of the reign of the 35th monarch Hou Wen Gong of Yan, he implemented a joint longitudinal alliance, and the five kingdoms united to destroy Qin! But it failed!
7. King Yan Yi, the 36th monarch of the Yan State and the 37th King of Yan State, King Yan:
The Kingdom of Yan began to claim the throne at this time, but the King of Yan chose to give the throne to the son of the Prime Minister of the State, causing civil unrest in Yan!
Qi Guo took the opportunity to attack the Yan Kingdom and almost destroyed the Yan Kingdom!
8. The thirty-eighth king of the State of Yan: King Zhao of Yan
King Yan Zhao is the greatest king of the Yan Kingdom, and without one, he led the people of the Yan Kingdom to drive away the army of the Qi State!
King Yan Zhao's recruitment platform
He reused Yue Yi to carry out reforms and talents, and the strength of the Yan state increased greatly, and he ordered Le Yi to attack the Qi state with the Yan state and the armies of the Three Jin Dynasties and Qin and Chu. After occupying more than seventy cities in the State of Qi, the State of Qi almost destroyed the country, and at this time the national strength of the State of Yan reached its peak.
9. King Yan Hui, the 39th king of the Yan Kingdom.
During his reign, when the State of Yan occupied the State of Qi, he suspected that Le Yi had given the State of Qi the opportunity to counterattack and restore the State, and the State of Yan lost its advantage.
10. The fortieth and forty-first monarchs of the Yan Kingdom:
There are no achievements, don't mention it
11. Yan Wang Xi, the last monarch of the Yan Kingdom
Yan Wang Xi was the last monarch of the Yan Kingdom, and he was primarily responsible for the demise of the Zhao Kingdom.
Yan Wang Xi did two main things in his life, and both of them joined the demise of the Yan Kingdom.
The first thing was to constantly attack the Zhao Kingdom. After the Battle of Changping, the state of Zhao weakened, and the state of Yan took the opportunity to attack the state of Zhao in order to take advantage. At that time, Zhao Guo had just experienced a big war, and it was logical that he should rest and rest. Due to the continuous attacks of the Yan Kingdom, the Zhao Kingdom did not have time to recuperate, so the national strength became weaker and weaker. It is precisely because of this that the Qin State will destroy the Zhao State so easily later. After the fall of the State of Zhao, no princes could withstand the attack of the State of Qin, and it was not far from the demise of the State of Yan;
The second thing was Jing Ke's assassination of Qin. Although this matter was planned by Prince Dan, it definitely had something to do with Yan Wang Xi. This incident gave the Qin State an excuse to attack the Yan Kingdom, once again accelerating the demise of the Yan Kingdom. To say that he should be responsible for the demise of the Yan Kingdom is not a loss at all.
