It had two conquering kings - Cyrus the Great and Cambyses, and a succession of consolidating kings starting with Darius the Great.
This not only extended the empire, but also retained it by establishing provincial government to control and defend the different areas, and retaining traditional local government forms which were compatible with the diverse range of peoples, cities and tribes within the empire.
Not that this was unique, the previous Assyrian and Babylonian empires used similar means, but the Persians just did it better, and for over two hundred years were able to maintain control, stability and prosperity until ambitious Alexander the great became the wrecker, turned it into an empire of his own, died and left chaos in his wake.
