Once King Khosrow Parviz firmly established his authority upon the sublime throne and the Royal Glory cast its shadow across the realm, all the sovereigns of the earth submitted to his command. Crowned rulers became his loyal vassals, and the humble grew prosperous under his bountiful reign. The King ordered the ancient, sealed treasuries bequeathed by King Piruz and the blessed Qobad to be opened, assembling a formidable vanguard of forty-eight thousand chosen, battle-tested Iranian warriors. He divided the defense of his realm into four strategic frontiers, assigning twelve thousand valiant horsemen to guard each borderland.
The first army of twelve thousand was dispatched to the Roman frontier to guard that noble border and ensure no foreign host might cross to devastate the Iranian soil. The second host was sent toward Zabulistan with strict royal decrees: if any noble or commoner strayed from the path of righteousness, the commanders were first to guide them with wise words, but if they persisted in rebellion, they were to be bound and cast into dungeons. Spies and alert outposts were ordered to maintain vigil day and night. The third army of twelve thousand warriors was showered with royal gifts and sent toward the western gates of the Alans to hold the passes against all foes. The fourth army was sent to the eastern marches of Khorasan, spanning the borders of the Hephthalites unto China, with clear instructions that no foreigner should step foot upon Iranian soil without the King's express leave and oath.
Thereafter, Khosrow opened the treasury of his late father, King Hormoz IV, weeping as he distributed the silver coins stamped with Hormoz's effigy among the poor and destitute. Turning his gaze to imperial justice, he tracked down every remaining accomplice of Bandoy, Gustahm, and Zangoy who had participated in the assassination of his father, sentencing them all to execution. With order completely restored, Khosrow divided his daily routine into four structured spheres: one part devoted to consultation with wise Mobads and rectifying grievances among his subjects; one part to joyful banquets with musicians and grandees; one part to devout prayer and praise of Yazdan, Creator of the World; and one part to studying astronomy and the celestial orbits alongside court astrologers, reserving the quiet hours of the night for his companions. Furthermore, he divided each month into four noble pursuits—polo and archery, hunting across mountains and plains, playing chess and backgammon while listening to ancient tales of kings recounted by scholars, and receiving foreign ambassadors to bestow royal robes and reply to state missives—thus ushering in an era of unprecedented majesty and order.
