Best Empire between 1299 to 18th century (after that, its not the best((for me)) because of its actions) , Ottoman Empire was a strong empire , he tolerated the people where he conquered  (not most empires do that) , let them live their religion and culture , defeated (most) of his enemies , his sword was sharp and helped his friends  . But later, when he lost his power , he became less peaceful to minorities , taxes became higher and higher , his system wasnt working properly and it became an unhappy place to live in , so the problems showed up and people began to riot , and after ww1 , it collapsed.

Well not every empire live long, but ottoman empire existed for about 600 years.
