张延 / Zhang Yan (late-Han taiwei)

张延 / Zhang Yan (late-Han taiwei) enters the wiki through Hanji 936 as the official removed from the taiwei office amid 186 CE turmoil and later appointed taiwei while outside the capital.

The source presents him as upright and repeated in criticism of eunuch disorder. That makes his end a court-feedback failure: eunuchs falsely accuse him of collusion and disorder, 汉灵帝 accepts the accusation, and Zhang Yan dies in prison.

This page is disambiguated from 张燕 / Zhang Yan (Late Han), the Black Mountain leader. The two figures share pinyin, but the source roles, characters, and political fields are different.
